Did any of Nintendo's most successful games of the last few years get any honest praise from the industry? No. The Wii and DS as a whole? No, the industry looked down on these devices and developing for the Wii was a big no among top developers. Should all this matter to Nintendo when consumers love their products regardless? No. But apparently it does. The 3DS and Wii U were/are made to appease the industry, because Nintendo wants to be loved by them. This decision is made on a purely emotional level and has nothing to do with business sense. Why else would you change a successful formula? As a business it shouldn't bother Nintendo, if others say that they don't make cutting edge products or that their products are backwards. The success gave Nintendo right, after all. We've seen the same thing in reverse from the industry all these past years. From a business perspective it didn't really make much sense to not support the Wii properly, but from an emotional perspective it was the right thing to do. The industry has formed a hive mind and is hostile to gamers who do not fit their world view. |
um, what? How about Super Mario Galaxy 2 getting 10s from almost every single site, something that rarely happens with sequels (even lbp2 got lower than expected).
OT: I don't like the ad. They should focus on what they do best, i.e. casual games. This no longer looks like a family friendly device (with all the guns etc)
