| SaviorX said: Nintendo and third parties are dumb at times. On one hand, 3rd parties still believe that same ol' Hoo-ra: "3rd party games don't sell on Wii" (they don't advertise ever, mind you) "Nintendo hoards hardware, leaving 3rd parties to sturggle in sales and development" "There is no audience for it" "The Wii's graphics are somehow too low-powered for us, so easily pushing them to the max (and gaining respect in the meantime) would be a waste of effort." "Wiimote waggle can't work for this game" (Backwards compatible GC controller, Classic Controller, no forced need for motion integration in the first place.) On the other hand you have Nintendo currently: Going completely casual for time being, leaving the next several months of the year blank with no real HARD-core release. Not reaching out for support, instead relying on quarterly profit reports to show up, hopefully changing dev companies minds on their own. Falling back and pleading ignorance to obvious success factors (online gaming) Conservatism in thinking that every Wii owner is 9 years old and can't do anything in fear of getting cursed out by random 11 1/2 year old in Animal Crossing. Not putting enough features into existing and promising features (Nintendo Channel) No Wii demos, lack of updates in NChannel search category, lack of HW space, and saying Wii on (yellow) WC24 standby doesn't hurt your Wii when you know it makes that thing hotter than a mofo. Not working with devs who don't meet their philosphies in every way (Rockstar North is their name now, it was DMA something before when Nintendo was with em') |
this is the best post i have read in my life and i agree with it 100%
This new nintendo is awful.
