This has gotten them in trouble on multiple consoles now. If they want to continue to be successful, they need to embrace graphics. Casual gamers will only buy so many games. They need core gamers to come to the Wii U. It is possible for them to continue to make games that are great with just mediocre graphics or even decent graphics, but why do it? It is a cop out. People, Stock holders, critics, analyst, etc are weary enough about the Wii U Nintendo. Please do not give more reasons to doubt the wii U. HD Zelda HD Pokemon Start with that. Oh and HD F Zero and HD Pikmin and HDSuper Smash Bros as well. |
No, he is right. Not every game needs to push hardware to its limits.
That kind of thinking will doom even more devs next gen.
Like Iwata said, the big Nintendo games, such as Zelda and I guess Metroid, 3D Mario will benefit from it but some of their other Franchises don't need that.
It's the same for 3rd party software as well, not every publisher is EA or Ubisoft. the mediun sized/small developers should not feel that they have to match the graphics/production values of the games from the bigger devs.
