Is the Wii U the next dreamcast?

[castlezelda]

Micheal Pachter talks if he thinks the next dreamcast is secretly wii u -->wii u a.k.a next dreamcast?

 

[WiiAssasin]

Another doubter? You too, shall fall be humbled by the power of the WiiU (given time after release).

As I read what you wrote, I imagined Dark Vader saying that.

No. As the Dreamcast is good

wii u a.k.a next dreamcast?

dat kingdom key

The only reason I see how the WiiU is "dreamcasting" itself, is that all the people who bought the Wii recently aren't going to want it. The most casual of gamers (families, seniors, etc.) won't jump on the band wagon as easily either I'd say, since the WiiU won't be as simple and casual. I certainly don't think Nintendo is gonna suffer loses and not get immense profit, but will it be a great a seller as the WiiU? Nope.

A premature release in terms of development of said console? Not really. Premature in that the Wii is still an incredible commercial success raking in profits as I type? Perhaps.

Well considering the DreamCast was actually a GREAT console..well yeah Wii-U shall be awesome!!

 

[WiiAssasin]

Applying "was" great to a "will be" console brings your judgement into question unless properly backed up.

 

[Splash_King]

The Dreamcast is still great, by even all of today's standards.

Possibly because I belong to a dieing breed of gamers who remember that story, music, and obviously game play are more important than graphics, multiplayer, and a console's capabilities.

Would you rather play MW3, or Jet Set Radio?

 

[WiiAssasin]

But it's dead, therefore was great.

 

[Splash_King]

So, your whining was 'bout grammar and the usage of past tence, and not an opinion that the Dreamcast is no longer awesome... ?

...

derp

 

[WiiAssasin]

I do not whine. I hilighted the fact that it was great but we've moved on to the WiiU. They are similar, but not the same.

 

[DBloke]

But it's dead, therefore was great.

Technically its still alive.
Homebrew is keeping it so.
And it had a new game out last year

 

[WiiAssasin]

But officially, it's dead. Outdated, abandoned by its creators.

 

[DBloke]

The Wii is out dated. (and was when it came out)

Your point?

 

[WiiAssasin]

You would have to be utterly foolish to think the Wii was dead when it released. Same with those who think the Dreamcast is still active.
