But Nintendo needs about 5-6 more ZombiU type exclusives in a concentrated window of 1-2 years to really build credibility in this market space. It takes a lot of commitment really to build trust with that of gamer, lets see if Nintendo is really committed to it, or going to stick to the usual "well we have 1 or 2 games/year for the hardcore player, that's good enough" formula. |
I don't think this is nintendo's decision...I'm sure they'd be happy with 20 games a year that would appeal to the so-called 'hardcore' gamer but noone ever makes 'em...
Nintendo know that more games are likely to attract consumers rather than less, despite what kind of spin they might put on it. (sorry...kind of off topic though I guess, considering this threads about casual gamers)
In answer to the ot, nah, I'm pretty sure nintendo are screwed in regards to the casual crowd (much like the 3ds seems to be).I doubt those grannies that got into braintraining a few years back aint coming back, not in the same numbers anyhow
...I guess the one thing the wii u has in its favour (that the 3ds and even many tablets dont) is that games like wii fit (and zumba and all those dance games and other jumpy wavy games) are harder to replicate on an iphone or tablet...and the fact that it has a tablet controller might be enticing to some consumers.
Time will tell. I think the wii u will be a success though, just maybe not with the casual crowd.
