Nintendo's arrogance needs to stop

Idk... You have other companies like Capcom, SE, Sega, and etc that tried adapting and we get crap like FFXIII, FFXIV (original launch), Sonic franchise for the 7th gen, RE franchise for the 7th gen, And every one of them making shit games for mobile... Capcom even went as far to spend 4 billion yen on a mobile division that they got from Monster Hunter sales instead of a new game

Oh and software delays... Come on... You really want them to release unfinished games like EA and others?

So maybe them being arrogant, specially after the latest MK8 and SSB trailers, isn't all that bad but granted it could certainly be improved...

"idk". You're right, you don't know. It's poor reading of the market like this that has hurt the Japanese developers so much. So many people in the industry put the blame on the wrong shoulders. Itadaki, cliffyb, and others did this. Jim Sterling is right. Japanese devs went out of their way to make games more westernized and lost so much audience because of it. It all comes down to really poor analysis of the market, and bad leadership on top of it all.

Releasing games in the dlc way is not a bad idea. It's a very smart idea. It allows developers to save costs until it's shown that the support for the game exists.

Mobile gaming is not bad. In fact, it's very good, and very smart. Mobile is huge already and is only growing. Only an idiot would not prepare. You look at ps4 and how almost every dev is supporting it. They all know how successful it is going to be. If it's only logical to support ps4, how is it bad to support mobile?

Also, just because you use EA as an example, it doesn't give your argument credibility. There are plenty of great companies and games and franchises that use dlc properly. Look at pc expansions. Expansions are basically dlc. So there you have the fallout series, starcraft, warcraft, eve, world of warcraft, elder scrolls, crusader kings, far cry, warhammer 40k, and countless others. DLC is just following the 15 year+ trend that is called expansion.

EDIT: Not trying to be an asshole, but try to put a little more thought into this. Nintendo would do well to work with DLC more....and they are. Fire Emblem is a perfect example of it. Why should gamers have to wait upwards of 5 years for sequels? There is only ONE smash brothers per generation. Would it kill them to update the game? No. They can put out dlc and expand every couple years. They would make money. It would be profitable.

Instead, Nintendo says, "he's some shit. Eat your shit, and STFU". No, Nintendo is definitely cutting their own wrists. They are missing out on tons of profits. GBA on 3ds is already possible. Yet no downloadable games. There was ONE mario party in wii era. ONE. There were like 4 on gamecube, and each one sold really well. It's a failure in the leadership and in their market strategy.

This is indeed, the post of the day. I agree with you prof, DLC is the way to go. While they are at it, Nintendo sohuld charge for online too.
