What gamers want are new and exciting ip's from Nintendo that cater to a Mature audience so to speak. The are flogging the usual dead horse that is mario and now we have nintendoland(Good god). Yes we know everyone likes mario but people want something new and fresh. You know exactly what games are coming out for the Wii U. There are never any surprises from nintendo anymore that excite the "Hardcore" gamer. Yay another 2D mario, Yay another Smash Brothers, Yay another Mario Kart, Yay another Zelda, Yay another Pokemon. It is same old shit year in, year out. How incredible would it have been if reggie anounced a new game akin to the likes of Halo, The last of US or Beyond: two souls with an awesome trailer that gave you goosebumps when the trailer is finished? The conference had none of that. Instead it is same old Mario and CO with trailers that could have been from the Wii for all we know. They need to create some new amazing IP that can rival Mario and Metriod and give the Wii U an identity. |
Problem is Nintendo's image will always follow them. Create a "hardcore, mature, graphic" game and most HD console owners would likely throw it under the bus. Oh it is just from Nintendo... You are right they could use some new IPs but they don't have to be mature. That is what the shitty 3rd party companies are for (Capcom is one of the few 3rd party companies that I remotely care about). You don't see too many Nintendo gamers begging for another External Darkness, Sin & Punishment, Disaster: Day of Crisis, or anything that they have released that was "mature". How would a game akin to Halo be a "new game" or copying of any current offering. You complain about sequels but look at almost all the games out. They are almost all sequels. Nintendo just has an image problem due to little shit teenagers trying to rebel and look cool along with the "mature" 20 year olds. They have suffered from this image since the 16 bit era.
