Wii U: Two Years of Negative Brand Momentum
I thought this was a very interesting article.
Full story.Nintendo’s biggest mistake was allowing the Wii U’s problems to grow into a popular internet meme/internet joke where everyone laughs at the product. People post animated gifs to joke about it. A room of game developers at GDC laughed with Mark Rein as soon as Wii U was mentioned. Wii U is now a meme. Wii U is now a joke inside of the gaming community. And it’s Nintendo’s fault for allowing the negativity to reach that high of a point.
I am very happy with my Wii-U, but the biggest reason that I decided to get it was for backwards-compatibility on all my existing games, and future-proofing with full HD etc. It also helped a great deal that I got the premium console with ZombiU for R2999.
When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!
I hope it pulls a 3DS and goes Super Saiyan next year... since the 3DS was rather dead in the beginning aswell, but now it's booming.

Really need those prepaid nintendo cards here in SA...
Also I have discovered the power of the office chair. Metroid + F-Zero, it helps for making those turns lol.
Why don't you pay with your credit-card? I had no issues buying Trine 2 on my Wii-U.Originally Posted by hideinlight

Don't have one, only a debit card...
Ah I see, you'll probably have more luck looking at pre-paid credit-cards then.
Also: have you tried paying with your debit card? If it has a Visa or master-card sign on it it might be possible.
