What the hell is up with Nintendo?!

The Wii was a great success. It seemed everyone had the damn console. So when the Wii U was released a few years back did Nintendo really think they would have another multi-million dollar hit? As much as I love the original NES, the SNES didn't do as well as its predecessor. It's true and you know it!

So Iwata takes a pay cut, and basically says the Wii U's Game Pad is to blame for the lack of sales....well, that and the fact that there's hardly any marketing done so the casuals can actually see the thing and all of its games.

You can help fix it Iwata!

Games...games...that's another thing. Nintendo needs to beg and plead on their hands and knees to get those 3rd party developers on board. C'mon Konami! C'mon Capcom (I'm still pointing a finger at you though...). Ubisoft, Activision, EA, Sega and the rest. Get on board, scratch those grey cells of yours and figure out some fun ways to implement the Game Pad tech.

Wii U won't fall that hard

Things you already heard a million times before on other sites, blogs, and videos. Here's a little list of what Nintendo should do to turn things around. (And yes, I've never run a multi-billion dollar company...and neither have you. But, it's still fun!)

1. Commercials. Promote the damn thing! You've banked millions from the success of the Wii. Promote the thing so people stop thinking its an add on to the Wii!
2. Games. I don't think the Wii U will be a system seller on its own. You need to push the games out. That also means the Virtual Console too.
3. Connectivity. The 3DS is your bread and butter right now. It had a shaky start, but its really one of the  best handhelds ever. Tie both systems together. You buy a VC NES game on your 3DS? Bam! You can now play it on your Wii U too! And vice versa!
4. Stemming from the point above, have one UNIFIED Virtual Console. I should be able to download all the games on my Wii U, AND my 3DS. (Looking at you Earthbound!)

 You should be on the 3DS!

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to clean up this mess Nintendo. Spread the news of your wonderful system. Bring in the 3rd party devs and kiss their asses for a bit, you need them! And for the sake of all things good, unify the Wii U and the 3DS. You're Nintendo. You can do this. Just don't give up like you did with the Virtual Boy. ^>^
