reggie needs to go.


Why? For continueing to cater to a market that helped them explode out of the rut they'd been in for two console generations and actually become a worldwide leader in the video game market? Or just making games you don't want?

Seriously, come on guys. This year you got Pilot Wings, Zelda OoT3D, Starfox 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Pokemon Black & White. Their casual selection this year? Nintendogs. And next year, your getting Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus, Mario Tennis, and Paper Mario. Your already getting what you want! (unless what you want is original franchise titles, in which case your fresh out of luck, lol).

Nintendo has long been catering to both the hardcore and casual crowd, especially in recent years, and while I certainly can't defend their dismal Wii line up for 2011, lets not forget that last year they gave Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment 2, Metroid Other M, and Donkey Kong Country returns. Nintendo has LONG been appealing to the "broad spectrum", and Reggie merely indicating that yes, they will continue to cater to the casual crowd that made them boat loads of cash doesn't change that.

Seriously people, come on. Don't act like Nintendo hasn't already been catering to you, and doesn't already have a line up of games for you next year, many of which I'm sure your excited for. I know plenty of people excited for Paper Mario, or who have been demanding a new Luigi's Mansion and Kid Icarus.


I want new ip's from nintendo, not the same old shite I have been playing for years on my nes, snes, n64 and gamecube. I know they have to play it safe all the time but come on...their lineup is too predictable at this stage.  

Well I bet they were planning some new IP. I mean there was Steel Diver and I'm pretty sure a couple other IP were probably in the works. However considering how hard the 3DS had it at launch I'm guessing Nintendo probably shelved any remaining new IP. New IP wouldn't shift hardware Nintendo knows they need established IP, unfortunetly that means it is less likely that Nintendo will release all to many new IP in the future.

However Reggie did say new experiances which Iwata was hinting at. New IP would be a perfect way for Nintendo to offer new experiances so their is very much still a possibility that they will come. Though for now I think Nintendo is focusing on established titles to help balance the books.

That is all they have been doing for the past 20 years though. i ask myself the same question all the time of nintendo. Where are Nintendo's uncharted? Halo? Gears of war?, god of war? Gran turismo? Shadow of the collosus? Ico? my list goes on.  Nintendo are just not innovative enough for me anymore. The wii innovation was incredible but I don't care about hardware, i want innovative and new games. The problem with nintendo is there are never any surprises with them. You know exactly what you are going to get with the next console.... a new zelda, a new 3d mario, a new kirby, donkey kong and a mario kart.
