Every Single Way the Nintendo Wii U Failed

Large Gap Between Major Games

Mario, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, the list goes on. Nintendo has no shortage of huge franchises that sell with ease. Unfortunately, there’s no way that Nintendo could keep these big franchises coming out fast enough to keep players invested. At least not if they want to maintain their top-notch quality.

A console lives and dies on its video games, and the Wii U’s heavy hitters have had some mighty large gaps between them. This makes it a tough sell for many looking for non-stop experiences. Some of you may be thinking “well the PS4 and Xbox One have also had large gaps between major exclusives.” That’s true but they’ve leveraged something that the Wii U has failed to do on a large scale.
