Hey guys. So I've been having a really interesting discussion with S.T.A.G.E. in the "Nintendo seems to not be able to please its fans" thread. It came to the topic of what makes gamers in the general gamer crowd uninterested in Nintendo's platform.

My question for you guys is as follows. Which of the following criteria are required for your to purchase a Nintendo console?

RULE: Quote-post this list and bold the items you want, or just copy paste and bold. I want to see the whole list in your posts.

  1. All of Nintendo usual IPs like Mario, Zelda, Starfox and Metroid should be made with older gamers in mind.
  2. 3D Mario, 3D Zelda and 3D Metroid need to be marketed to older gamers.
  3. No more kiddie games need to come out on the system: 2D kirby, 2D Mario
  4. No more quirky IPs need to release on the platform: example Pikmin
  5. All top 3rd party multiplats need to be on the system.
  6. Needs to have 3rd party exclusives that rival assassin's creed and Batman
  7. Shouldn't release with non-proven games like Red Steel and ZombiU, which use non-traditional game mechanics
  8. Needs new Nintendo IPs that appeal to the older crowd, preferably but not limited to FPS.
  9. Needs Nintendo-made jRPGs that can rival Tales or Final Fantasy games.
  10. Needs Nintendo-made WRPGs that can rival the likes of Skyrim
  11. Needs new Nintendo IPs that appeal to the market in between kid and older gamers, like Potapon and Playstation All-Stars, games which are fun, not too older-gamer centric and not too kiddy.
  12. Needs exclusive j and W RPGs made by 3rd parties that rival Skyrim and FF.
  13. Needs a traditional controller
  14. Does not have any shovelware
  15. Has no Nintendo-made games that use waggle controls or "gimmicks", or that appeal to a younger crowd.
  16. Must have a majority of exclusives in the j-games genre
  17. Must have a majority of western exclusives that appeal to older gamers.
  18. The traditional controller needs to be in the main sku.
  19. Must not be branded Nintendo.
  20. Must be branded Sony (Not a joke, Nintendo has a stigma)
  21. Must be branded Microsoft
  22. Online service parity

 

I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts. And Nintendo fans, please let them express themselves without taking insult, this thread is about their honest opinions, something fans and Nintendo as a company should have been aware of a long time ago.

Thanks for sharing
