Wii U sales plunge: Nintendo hopes Mario and Zelda will shift some kit

Remote screen put me off buying it...

The stupid remote screen really put me off, and I reckon I'm not alone.

The Wii was, and still is, a great multiplayer console. We still use ours for Mario Kart and Wii Sports Resort. The tiny remote controls give it a high wife-acceptance-factor, too.

The remote screen was a stupid idea from the start. Hugely expensive, destroys the multiplayer appeal, and even 1 year on, there are no compelling games that *need* the second screen.

All they needed to do was a Wii HD.

Perhaps they should cut their losses and start selling an ultra-cheap version without the U controller?

Populous

Cabin in the Woods has only just been released on DVD. Posting a spoiler 'above the fold' in the RSS feed is bad form.
