Reggie talks about 3d parties, Nintendo not good at creating certain games

I don't want Nintendo selling out, sorry. I'm VERY happy with what Nintendo creates. That's what makes Nintendo....Nintendo. They don't need to be making Bioshock/Modern Warfare/Mass Effect types of stuff. That's not who they are. No one is demanding that Bethesda make a kid's platformer, are they?

Thought so.

No, but Bethesda aren't a platform holder. If you own the platform you have some responsibility to supply customers with games. They do that very well with they're core Nintendo franchises and with the new demographics they've helped create. However, for the other traditional games they haven't and Reggie admits this in his statement. As the platform holder and console manufacturer if they're is a gap in your software library that could be profitable and is in demand then you should be trying to fill that demand either through 3rd party negotiation or 1st/2nd party. Nintendo doesn't seem to have succeeded in either.

With the amount of money they're making and considering how small they are, they could easily splash out and publish a title from a small dev making a core non-Nintendo title. With Nintendo overseeing the title it'd probably be of pretty good quality.

No, Nintendo are responsible for creating content THAT THEIR CONSUMERS want. Based on how awesome Nintendo first-party games sell, they are making the content that consumers want. For any other content, that's the job of third parties to fill in those gaps. Again, are we demanding Microsoft make 2d cartoon-style platforms?

 

My problem is that the industry continues to hold Nintendo to standards that they refuse to hold others to. That's simply not cool. Nintendo is going to make games that they're the best at. Same with Sony and Microsoft.
