The same argument could be said between 3DS vs Vita. Again : Nintendo's concern should not be in creating Intellectual Properties specifically tailored for Western markets; instead, Nintendo should seek new partnerships with already established properties and develop new properties that have worldwide appeal - Mario & Company are great but Nintendo's arsenal, though arguably the largest in gaming, needs to be larger. |
The Vita's failure is an entirely separate issue of trying to cater to a home console audience on a handheld. Those people can already play those Vita games better on the come console they most likely already own. They're catering to an audience that only practically exists in Japan, there come consoles aren't popular, so there isn't competition. (and even there it isn't doing so well because, again, home consoles and subsequently their type of games aren't popular over there)
So again: Their current properties are not enough. Most (console) western gamers want (console) games Nintendo just isn't providing. New people making the same (console) games won't do anything, just like a western studio making Sonic won't suddenly make Sonic Boom sell better in the west. They need new (console) IP that (console) western gamers want and aren't getting from the Wii U (console).
| DanneSandin said: They should westernize Zelda just slightly, since it sell the most there, they should allow Retro to create a new IP and maybe set up 3 new studios that focus a bit more on the dudebro scene as to build an audience that actually buys 3rd party games. that's Nintendos biggest flaw/weakness; their customers are too loyal, they only play Nintendo games, but to be a real compatitor you need 3rd party support. |
They don't need to westernize Zelda. Zelda does fine here. They don't need to touch what they already have. They just need to add onto it.
And "dudebro" is an immature stereotype. Stop that.
