Nintendo NX: 7 Reasons Why 2016 Release Is A Bad Idea

7. Too Soon For Wii U And 3DS Users

While you're sitting there with your PS4 exploring endless worlds, completing detailed missions, chatting and joking with friends online as you maraud around maps in a pack, spare a thought for those who jumped at the chance to snap up a Wii U. Many Nintendo fans were turned off after the Wii wore thin a few good months after launch, yet dedicated fans still went back for more. The alienation of the N64 generation and failure to recognise that those 90s kids aren't still in school is one thing, but Nintendo simply can't afford to risk giving up on their remaining fans. The Wii U lasted just a couple of years before the NX was being openly discussed. That's not a long time, and Nintendo need to ensure that they're still providing games worth the Wii U owners' time and money.
