yea we've heard it a million times, boom blox bombs, zack and wiki bombs, madden 07, bombs no more heroes bombs, boogie bombs. 6 months later people are singing a different tune. I'm not saying this is one of those cases or not, but you have to wait before you can judge.

 

 

And yet, I still wish those games sold better (No More Heroes and Zack & Wiki especially).

I'm glad most of these games find legs to carry them, but it's a shame they can't have good debuts as well. I still think Nintendo needs to clamp down on all the shovelware the system gets, so there aren't so many crappy games sitting on the same shelf competing for the "back of the box reading" game buyer segment.

Frankly, and I'm not saying I like shovelware, I would rather not have a return to the Draconian Nintendo that strangled third party efforts in the SNES and N64 days.

I wouldn't say that taking the necessary measures to prevent games like Anubius would really be Draconian. In fact, it would be more in line with what the other console manufacturing companies are doing.

 

Other manufacturers? Tell me what exactly are they doing to maintain quality? Dev. costs kept high?  Long lead times on game releases? Are they actively telling companies not to make games for the xbox and ps3?

That would have to be the most ridiculous statement i heard in a while. I bet you half the reason ps2 is still in production is bcoz of crappy 3rd party games keeping it alive in the market

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
