I'm still not sure what you guys wanted insteadof what you got...

What could have Nintendo done to wow you?

My thought also.  I suppose I am just not the "hardcore" gamer anymore since I don't even give a shit about E3.  E3 has been shit for awhile to me and I hardly give a shit about some news conference that is supposed to be the super bowl event of gaming.  People have too high expectations and apparently Nintendo must release all their IPs at once to satisfy most "core gamers".  Nintendo could come out with a COD/GTA game showing Mario's head being blown off and it still wouldn't be "hardcore" enough due to it having Mario.  Basically, who cares about the "core" gamer considering they are just whining little shits that expect everything yet buy the same shit every year.

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.

As usual, it's everyone elses fault and never Nintendos...

Nintendo put that image on itself and never even made the attempt to change it. Instead they showed their soon to release console complete with Nintendo Land, WiiFit, Singing, Dancing, Mario and tops it off with Nintendo Land fireworks show.

People also do not ask for more of a game like Disaster considering Nintendo didn't give it them in the first place. Just like how we in the US we don't ask for another Fatal Frame or Soma Bringer. Those "Whiny little teenagers" and "whiny little core" players are also the same TERRIBLE people who actually voiced their frustration and thanks to them you get to play Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandora's Tower.

 

Stoping blaming the wrong people.
