I've been gaming since I was a small child and up until four or five years ago paid a lot of attention to video games and the video game industry. While I haven't posted or participated in a discussion thread regarding this topic in a long time, I can't help but do so now regarding Nintendo and their latest console.
Like I said, I'm not really that into the scene anymore and I don't obsessively consume every single detail about the newest hardware and software, including Nintendo and the Wii U. But you'd think that I'd have gleamed an understanding of the platform from my cursory reading of IGN/Gamespot, perusing the upcoming software titles and by word-of-mouth from other people in my life who play video games. To this day I still have no damn idea if Wii U games use the Wiimote. I know that the Wiimote's function with the Wii U, but are they actually needed? Are games still doing waggle?
I lack a fundamental understanding of Nintendo's latest platform and I'm wondering if I'm the only one in that situation, and I'm also wondering if that's the problem plaguing the platform. While I'm kind of ambivalent to Nintendo's first party lineup at this point, I was right there with them up until the Wii. I've never before had any difficulty understanding Nintendo's products, including R.O.B. and the Power Glove.
I'd be interesting in hearing other people's thoughts. Maybe I'm just getting old...
