What (if anything) would bring success to the Wii U?

Not understanding the Wii U hate. It's a great system.

Whether you like the system or not, there's no denying that it's faltering..... kinda reminds me of the "what would've helped the TG-16" threads.

Except it's not, sales here trump Xbone and double or triple PS4 sales in Japan (not saying all that much because overall sales in Japan are shit)

It's holding it's own despite the lack of the 3rd party shit...The industry is more against it than the consumer is.

The "Wii U" hardware still has a negative impact on Nintendo's profits owing mainly to its markdown in the United States and Europe, and unit sales of software, which has high profit margins, did not grow sufficiently, leading to a gross profit of 163.2 billion yen. Total selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded gross profit, resulting in an operating loss of 46.4 billion yen.

That's Nintendo themselves blaming the Wii-U for their losses, from their last annual financial statement (their year ends in March).  The 2014 first quarter was another loss (nearly $100 million), even though Mario Kart 8 sold 2.8 million copies and pushed a few hundred thousand extra Wii-Us out the door.

It just occurred to me. I think Nintendo buying Capcom can't and won't happen. Capcom is entirely too successful and big for this to happen and I imagine they also have to have serious licensing deals with both Sony and Microsoft that can't just be negated with a Nintendo takeover. I do think the idea of a Capcom takeover by Nintendo is sound in theory. It would certainly bring several fantastic titles to their library and they would all be ones that would appeal to the actual market of gamers. Let me pose this instead: Why couldn't Nintendo take over SNK Playmore? or at the least sign exclusivity rights for release of their games and library for home release? It would appeal to Nintendo to expand their library to games for gamers and not just a "wide-ranging" family category. SNK gets Nintendo's support in making games based on their archives that folks actually want to play instead of floundering as was the case with many of their releases in the last few generations. Now I'll blow your mind. Imagine Super Smash Brothers: SNK vs Nintendo! That's a reason to buy a console, I would think.

I have never played Sunset Riders.  Ever.
I hear good things about it, I just have never played it.

The only way I'd buy one (atm) is if they figured out how to let you play DS games on it

Brain Age was ported in Japan, so Nintendo has a way.

That's it for DS games though.
