Nintendo history repeating itself

EA don't make games.

That's kind of the issue with Nintendo though. They do have a hard time getting out new IPs, or for that matter getting deals with other developers to make games for their system. The second issue being not so problematic since Nintendo has been attempting to reach out, but it's still an issue. And because the Nintendo fanbase has sectioned themselves off to one or two of their most favorite IPs, where that is Super Smash Bros, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, whatever, it doesn't make for good sales when people aren't apt to buy many games. Which is what most console business models need in order to be successful. Sony has been hurting partly for that very reason as well, people just aren't buying enough games.

just do monster hunter, great game would def recomend

they do, but the news IPs aren't a great hit so peolpe ignore them

Wii U was rushed out the gate under pressure by stock holders and lacked any worthwhile launch titles besides ZombiU. That is a poor business decision, but not a problem with the console itself years after.

Nintendo consoles have lacked much third party support for years now, but first party Nintendo games (published and/or developed) are nearly always of high quality, and there are already enough on the console as of now to support it, and there will be mush more by the end of the year. No one buys a Nintendo console for third party games. It sucks that they don't have more, but that's not a big issue.

The "New Super Mario Bros." franchise is really the only series of Nintendo games that I concede are shameless "rehashes." If you consider any other series to be a "rehash" then you are either a parrot or an idiot. Also, "innovation" is not important. "Good games" are important. Nintendo still makes good games, whether they are "innovative" enough for you or not.

shut your slut mouth.

You are allowed to have your opinion, as are others. If you want to compare the two handhelds, then do so. But if your argument is "Nintendo is boring now" and "hurr nostalgia" then it is pretty clear you haven't thought this through at all. Honestly, you aren't even worth the effort I am putting into this reply just to point out that saying "hurr" completely invalidates any point you might think you are making. But ah well. I already typed this much.

There is much more that hurt the Wii U than the gamepad. That is really not one of the biggest issues.

If you really want to get into the problems with the Wii U sales numbers, you need to understand something about the Wii and it's audience: the casual gamer. They were the reason why the Wii sold so much, and the casual gamer doesn't even understand that the Wii U is different than the Wii. The marketing and name of the Wii U has just been completely horrid. Also, casual games play little games on their smart phones now. They have left the console market. Nintendo can't get Wii numbers again, and people (including Nintendo) should stop expecting it.

Regarding the 3DS though, I don't know why you are saying there's a problem with it. The 3Ds is absolutely dominating the handheld market. The only handheld in history to do better than the 3DS so far is the DS, which is the reigning king of handheld consoles and likely will be for generations if the 3DS doesn't somehow overtake it.
