Top 10 Nintendo Fails

[Salnax]

I actually agree with some of these points. BUT!

10. By the time this video was released, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D, etc were out and the 3DS was selling well. Not to mention that all the other problems they mentioned were, as mentioned, solved by then, with the exception of battery life, which isn't all that bad.

9. Nintendo made the perfect 2004 console in the same way Sony and Microsoft made the perfect 2008/9 console. If one wants to attack Nintendo for the Wii's weakness, they have to consider what 2006 was like.

8. Online play was not a huge deal in 2001, so its omission to keep prices down was acceptable. Likewise, cutting DVD playback probably cut GameCube costs by $50 or $100. Nintendo offered a powerful console for a moderate cost. If being a dedicated console as early as 2001 is wrong, why bother being right?

7. I can see their point. At least Nintendo could have made a boring colored model without the handle.

6. Censorship. Once again, they have a point.

5. This is part of the cartridge issue, so I'll go back to it later.

4. CARTRIDGES WERE THE BEST CHOICE IN THE MID-90's!!!!! I have little patience for the long loading times of PlayStation games. Few games, when you took away the bloated cutscenes and video footage, really needed CD's worth of space. Cartridges were harder to pirate. CD-ROMs of the time were scratched if you look at them funny. It may be a decade and a half late, but I still am annoyed that optical media was the popular choice.

3. Yeah, that thing could have been good, but it wasn't.

2. ...this was made by another company. I guess you can also throw in the Super Mario Bros movie and call this number "trusting other companies with your IP's."

1. Yeah, that was such a big deal, I made a timeline about it.



Anyone willing to make a better version of this list?
