I think Nintendo should stop forcing Mario, and Zelda franchise on everyone so much, and make a new super hero. Thats all I think they need to do. |
Nintendo already did. Wonder Red.
|
Got to factor in that their audience is growing with the times.
|
Nintendo's audience is 8-18 year olds. 8-18 year olds will always be 8-18 years old. once you turn 19 you can either still like Nintendo games, cause they won't change, or else you can move onto something else.
Why should Nintendo change their games? You don't see saturday morning cartoons changing to try and keep their fans when they get older. No they just stay the same and get the new kids that are growing up. They don't care that some 13 year old doesn't like their tv show anymore. 100 million new kids just turned 3 and may potentially watch their show.
You think the 15+ million that buy pokemon each generation are the same who played Pokemon Red/Blue? Hell no, its comprised of a shit ton of new 10 year olds buying the game.
|
With that analogy, Nintendo would just be saying, "Screw you +19 year olds, you either stay with us or get out" and gives their former audience the finger while they're at it.
|
How are they saying screw you. They are just making games they make.
It's not their fault that someone tastes change. Some 19 year olds will still play and some wont.
Should I be pissed at Pampers cause when I switched off Diapers they didn't make underwear for me? Should Pampers quit making diapers and go into the more mature underwear cause the baby's that wore their diapers grew up? Or how about they continue to make diapers, something they are good at, improve those diapers and continue to sell them to new parents, a demographics that will never dissapear.
But no according to you, they should quit diapers, and make underwear, then in few years start making boxers cause your tastes changed again. Then maybe start making S&M shit cause you became super mature and wanted some dark shit, then when your super old go back to making diapers again. ALL FOR YOU, CAUSE YOUR THEIR SOLE AUDIENCE, AND YOU GREW UP.
|
First off all, I never said quit on anything. That is your biggest mistake there in assuming such thing.
Now for Nintendo, is it bad to cater to all age groups or just one? Think about that without the diapers analogy.
|
Diapers is just an analogy as you said.
I personally think Nintendo games cater to EVERYONE. Heck most the ratings for their games are E.
But how would adding violence, blood, sex, realistic graphics, ect to Mario for example cater to Everyone, compared to current Mario. Pretty sure the current mario as it is caters to a larger demographic than if it made it more "mature"
Would Zelda cater to more fans if it had blood or voice acting or sex or whatever you think will make it more mature? How many games in Zelda's genre that have those aspects sell better than Zelda? Do you really think adding those aspects would improve Zelda's sales?
do that for other Nintendo games.
The gaming forums/websites never seem to realize they are the minority. Some what 20 million people bought GTA5. Is there 20 million users roaming around this website or ign or others? Hell no. Some 30 million bought Mario Kart Wii. What percent of those do you think are registered on a gaming website?
