Long-term things Nintendo needs to do

[metalmonstar]

- Create a true account system - Yes, I am pretty sure this is on the way as it is one of the concerns about their download program. They know this is holding users back and that people want security in their downloads.

- Sell hardware, at a profit, for a low price- Yes, Nintendo will get there. I just hope that we won't see such a price hold like the Wii had. Systems in general need to be more dynamic in how they handle pricing.

- Re-evaluate who the actual flagship games are.- Every company needs to do this. I think Nintendo has a pretty good idea already though. It is pretty easy to see Mario, Wii Series, Pokemon, Smash, and Zelda make up their top sales though. Donkey Kong possibly in that list as well.

- Make a New Legend of Zelda.- Every Nintendo fan wants this. To be honest I think we as gamers need to be more patient. New Zeldas are always on the way there is no reason for us to demand them.

- Profitability should be the aim, not innovation.- Nintendo is using innovation to compete in order to be profitable. I think that they have been a little too focus on innovation as of lately.

- Abandon Non-Gaming uses of the console- I disagree Miiverse and TV are good ways of increasing the time share spent on consoles instead of other media devices.

- Reduce the focus on 3D titles and technology- I think it was a little too soon for 3D. Hopefully in the next system revision we can get a more practical viewing window. I really think 3D could be used well and at the very least add some depth.

- Embrace online multiplayer- Certainly, they need to be more up to date with how they handle online games. Leadboards, ranked and unranked that kind of thing.

- Make more small games instead of large games.- This is true of the industry itself.


What Nintendo needs to really do my opinion

Improve their online game modes

Embrace DLC

Use the mod and fan game communities as a way to make cheap downloadable games.

Use app games as a way to advertise your console and console games

Create a true gaming tablet that is compatible with the Wii U

Make virtual console and Wiiware prices more dynamic allow games to be sold for a dollar if they can make money it isn't a slap in the face to your old gameboy and NES games, it is just what consumers are willing to pay.

Work to create Wii U and 3DS ecosystem. I know it didn't work with the N64 or gamecube but with wireless technology it should be much more feasible.

Allow user generated content for staple games such as Mario, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Wii series, Donkey Kong and so on

Have online classes and workout with Wii Fit and Wii Music

Lower the Price of Wii U and 3DS games. Bring 3DS back down to 30 and Wii to 50. You allow consumer so much more purchasing power at those prices. Not to mention you undercut the competition.

Bundle every 3DS with already download Pilot Wings and Steel Diver.

Make Downloadable games slightly cheaper than retail. Not to much though because you don't want to lose your retail partners. At the very least drop the price when retailers do. This will help against the used market and keep prices fair.

Implement player's choice system early in your systems life.
