Forget about time. It would always be the wrong Nintendo system in the wrong place at the wrong time. Let's not forget that Nintendo only got into trouble, because they abandoned their previous and successful philosophy. They aren't failing, because doing the same thing suddenly stopped to work. A solution for how they can get back on track in the next generation isn't hard to figure out. Software sells hardware, plus commitment. Wii and DS worked, they can work again. Since attempts to get third parties on board mostly failed, the more viable option is to increase Nintendo's own development studios to create a steady flow of good software. Virtual Console needs to be leveraged to a much, much, much better degree. |
Are they really doing that?...we´ve known for several years that´s what they have to in order to make up for the lack of 3rd parties, but it seems there´s an apparent lack of desire to do it.
If they won´t do what you suggested, or do it at a snail´s pace (once every 5/6 years), then the hybrid system would be the best thing they have against the droughts they´ve been having since the N64.Long gone are the times where games were much simpler and they could focus on two platforms at once (if they ever could, that is, I´m guessing here)...but now, even 3DS games are far more complex and time consuming to develop than DS and Gameboy games ever were, so I think with their current size, it´s either 3DS or Wii U, not both at once (I suspect one of the reasons for the drought we´re once again seeing with the Wii U, is they were forced to shift a lot of resources to the 3DS).
By having a single platform, they could minimize the droughts far better than partnerships like Fire Emblem X SMT/Bayonetta 2...but yes, their best option is to increase their studios...when was the last time they really did that?..was it with Monolith back in 2006?
