NintendoPie said: Nintendo is defined by their genre. They don't try to follow (although some would argue) and they don't try to mimic. You can't rip Nintendo away from what defines them as a company. Besides, Nintendo has more mature themes. Don't Zelda and Metroid come to mind? Nintendo will never get Third Party support. Not because Third Parties are stupid, but because they are smart. Third Parties won't release titles for Nintendo systems because they know most of what is put out by them won't sell blockbusters like it would on PS360. (CoD comes to mind.) |
You think there is no potential for resolution regardless? That Nintendo shouldn't even try to attract other types of gamers? I'm a Zelda fan, and I think it's one of the few Nintendo IPs that appeal to a wide range of tastes, but it's not enough on its own. Also, the vibe that came from Skyward Sword was probably a step back on that front. Metroid is niche, but it could, and probably should, be bigger.
I still think Nintendo should create a publishing arm just for new genres, which they can keep separate from the Nintendo brand. They could populate it with acquired studios or build some from the ground up. There is plenty of talent out there.
