Thanks! I just noticed a lot of people would quote these massive posts. I even felt bad posting all those pictures but I did it because I figured most people wouldn't bother clicking on those individual links. I guess I am most disappointed in Nintendo's strategy right now because it's clearly not working. I am disappointed because in my mind I saw that if Nintendo launched a $400-450 powerhouse console with traditional controls, dropped the BS barriers and crazy rules they have with 3rd party games regarding mature titles, they would have had the most desirable console of all next round. People say they tried this with the Gamecube but it's not true. The Gamecube's design and controller colors even looked kiddish. And Nintendo's strict rules and regulations for 3rd parties were fully in effect in Gamecube's era. Nintendo hasn't designed a proper console with strong 1st and 3rd party support since SNES. I would even say the N64 was their last swan song for a great gaming console. Everything since then has been a catastrophic collapse in the eyes of people who grew up with them in the 80s and 90s like me. Really after getting a Genesis, I was no longer brain-washed by the Nintendo brand as I started to enjoy a wider variety of games. Since then I realized that Nintendo has to do more, a lot more, to attract future generation of gamers. Since N64 (and even then it already slacked in 3rd party support) every new console they released has been a major disappointment. At least N64 had such high value exclusives that it made up for it in the long-term for the most part. Not so with Gamecube or Wii. And now Wii U is just a repeat of the same I fear. |
Actually Nintendo does give 3rd parties 100% freedom to develop any kind of game on Both the Wii U & 3DS. The only other video game system to that was the PS1.
