All I have to say on the matter is that Nintendo has always been looked at as the uncool company since Sega said that they were. It was a brilliant marketing campaign that is still working for Sony and Microsoft even though they didn't come up with it. Mortal Kombat had blood on the Genesis, the original Playstation was cool with the beer drinking jocks while the N64 was "gay", the Gamecube was a purple lunch box that didn't matter, and the Wii is just for kids and soccer moms. But Nintendo is still around. Why? They make great games. To be honest, Nintendo has been Nintendo's biggest enemy over the years. |
I should also add that applies to many game companies. When the falter compared to what made them hits, it's their own fault, not any competition.
Nintendo lost themselves their place on top of the mountain, Nintendo themselves got back up, and Nintendo themselves are knocking Nintendo off again. Therefore, it will be up to Nintendo themselves to be great again, and hopefully stay that direction.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
