Forums - Gaming Discussion - I'm starting to lose my passion for Nintendo

You want disappointment? Sony just said "rebuy those ps2 classics if you want them on ps4". Ps4 owners who traded in their ps3 (excluding me) at launch, just got fingered.

I don't follow. Those licenses were tied to the PS3, and I don't think they ever promised otherwise. I don't expect my Super Nintendo to play NES games, so why should I expect a game to cross generations? It'd be nice, but failing to live up to a promise which wasn't made or apparently even implied is far from getting fingered.

He already bought one just the other day.  


Then he's halfway there.


I recommend a lot of games to him that are cheap by now.  Should keep him happy.

What about people like me who only bought 1 ps2 classic on ps3? How am I going to rebuy them?

I can't say that I've ever been a big Nintendo fan, but for some reason I'm really hopeful for their future, I feel like they might just nail it with NX and start making the changes they need to to succeed in the future.

As for their lack of new announcements at the VGA's today, I'm sure they're saving up all the big new games for E3 when they announce NX. It was pretty obvious at E3 this year that they were just announcing filler because they were saving all of the big stuff for NX launch/first year. It's a wise decision honestly, NX needs to be a success, and having a strong launch/first year lineup is a big part of that. It does suck for Wii U/3ds owners who feel like Nintendo is basically abandoning the platforms early, but at least it should help NX be a succes

I can't think of an example where abandoning a console early has led to a successful follow-up. With the possible exception of the original X-box. It had 4 Solid years at least. Was that early abandonment? Anyways, not the best way to foster loyalty. It's a risky gambit, but one Nintendo has no choice but to take. Also, I have no idea how to bold the text of those I'm quoting. :)

Nintendo are in full transition mode to NX, hopefully there getting there horrible year out of the way in advance rather than post launch like most consoles. New console next year things should pick up a bit.



Your passion is misplaced, build a gaming PC, and get a Nintendo console, your problems will pretty much be solved.
