| WagnerPaiva said: That is very true, but it is a vicious circle, isn´t? The devs will not make games for it because it doesn´t have a good install base and the gamers are not buying it because it has the same kind of games the PS3 and the X360 had for 8 years already, and also because the devs do not make games for it. I saw the WiiU reveal last night, the 2011 event. They anounced ALIENS COLONIAL MARINES and METRO LAST LIGHT for the system, EA said Battefield would be amazing on the WiiU, all these are long gone now. I remember thinking about how amazing Aliens C.M. would be on the WiiU, they cancelled the game and the versions we did get were really bad. Maybe you are right and I am a little too pessimistc in this case, but, right now, at the first WiiU aniversary, I see no excuse for me to get one, and I am a pretty compulsive buyer, I bought a 3DS, a Vita and a PSP, all in the same year, I barelly touch any of those. I guess Mario Kart can sell a million or two WiiU and Zelda (a proper one) can sell another couple. As I see it, Nintendo have two options: They should market the system to children now, like it is a non violent, collorful and fun introdutory console for young audiences, or, go to the opposite extreme and make nothing but Horror, crazy debauchery games, with gore, disturbing images and new entries in franchises like THE GRUDGE, ETERNAL DARKNESS, FATAL FRAME and some mature RPGs like a Earthbound for adults. Both options, as I see it, will grant some moderate success, like 20-30mil, but nothing more than that. The problem is that the WIIU has not a really compelling gimmick, the gamepad is ok but it is NOT motion controls level of euphoria in the casual gamer´s eyes. I think that, right now, Nintendo is going to the kiddy route, let´s see what happens. |
I don't believe in "kiddy games", I mean, Mario Galaxy is colorful, but definitely a hardcore game. Nintendo being a game maker for kids is just a urban legend. Ninty know how to talk with youngsters, but have tons of hardcore games as well. Even Wii had.
