Nintendo is being cricized recently as of now, and it increases the closer we get to E3. That being said, this could be either the worst or best e3 for all 3 for Nintendo (I think lol), and the expectations are killing me too...

yeah theres been a lot of hate. Namco-bandai the other day, and now konami is at it

It's not hate at all. Most of the things that were said are actually true. Maybe a little exaggerated though.

But hate is a really bad choice of word.

Nintendo software troubles third-party sales: FACT. And it's mainly because of that why these developers refuse to bring quality titles to Wii/DS (with a few exceptions); they just don't want to admit it.

If you can't beat them, create in the minds of some people the impression that they are irrlevent.

Think about it. We have developers saying that games on Nintendo systems are poor. We have developers saying that they don't want to dumb down games for Nintendo systems.

Meanwhile, we have analysts predicting that Nintendo will have to do something to reinvigorate its  console. We have analysts predicting that its new handheld cannot do what it is said to do. We have analysts saying that a computer tablet that costs more than twice any existing handheld or console is the next best thing in gaming.

True. I take back what I said, instead:

Well, I don't know about hate, I think theyve been playing on the weaknessess of the DS and Wii, aka family consoles and low quality games etc, but they have been overexagerrated than what is reality.

Wait, the comment about the lack of quality software on DS, I don't agree at all with it. It has the best library on the handheld market.

And the other thing, yes, third parties are unable to deal with a Nintendo console because they are afraid of Nintendo itself. If Sony and Microsoft were developing lots of games, like Nintendo, it would do the same thing.

The third party is critical because their/Nintendos relationship IS NOT working out as they thought.  I do not see why this is a problem.  If they feel they are not getting what they should out of the relationship, they should move on.

I would be more than happy to wait and see how it all turns out, tho I personally think that their (3rd party) relationship with Nintendo is a very necessary one.

3rd parties are just mad because Nintendo have strong enough 1st party that they don'thave to be reliant on 3rd parties and therefore don't have to bribe 3rd parties to make games for them
