| The Ghost of RubangB said: So Nintendo has made 2 games where the focus is on UGC. Wii Music, which sold a couple million and made a ton of money, but Miyamoto has said wasn't as successful as they'd hoped, and IF they pursue that direction again, they'll try to discover the disconnect and make it better. And Flipnote Studio, which is ABSOLUTELY FREE. Please explain how this means Nintendo is heading in a direction towards focusing on more and more UGC, and please explain how this will be at the expense of their other games. Are we going to design our own Metroid? Our own Zelda? Wii Fit? Mario? Kirby? I'm calling bullshit. It's not gonna happen. Nintendo made casual games and people went "Oh no they're gonna stop making hardcore games!" and that was bullshit, as Nintendo is making more hardcore games than they ever have before, and faster. Now they made ONE SINGLE user-generated content game (and a small free downloadable art app), and you guys are going "Oh no they're gonna stop making content!" Any time Nintendo tries anything new, a bunch of whiners claim they're gonna stop making traditional games. Any time Nintendo makes a traditional game, a bunch of whiners claim they're gonna stop trying anything new. Damned if you do, damned if you Nintendon't. |
Well maybe they won't focus more on UGC, but Miyamoto seems very interested in doing more of those games.
All I know is it's a blue moon when Nintendo puts out new content. You seem to think that nobody wants them to try anything new. Well I would love for them to try something new in the content department. Over all they don't seem to think that people even want to buy new content.
