Why do you think Nintendo apoligizied? Why do you think Punch Out was announced 3 months later? It was all for you, you bitching moaning core gamers.
I cannot believe how naive people are when looking at the company, the company that started this industry. Don't you realise they needed to do this, otherwise they would not exist. Ultimately all this mainstreaming, a copy of Sony's PS cheapest philosophy, is going to benefit all of us long term and they will make up for the lack of core titles. I mean they apologized to you, something a company NEVER does, it shows weakness.
“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.
