Nintendo only has a kid stigma because they only make kid friendly games. And I'm not talking about just one IP to end things. I'm saying one IP to start them. Xenoblade is that one right now, but they need more like that. More "not kid" games. A lot more. And Nintendo's online is not crap. I've never once had an issue with it. Playstation gets away with making Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Knack, and Little Big Planet without being called kiddie because they release Uncharted, The Last of Us, Infamous, Gran Turismo, and God of War along side them. When Nintendo does that, most of those people will shut up. It's a stigma because it's true. |
I can agree with that. But yeah, like you said, Sony has a bunch of those IPs, and Nintendo simply doesn't. They have to make sure they bring more of those kinds of IPs to the table themselves. Nintendo needs to fill the gap for the so-called "mature gamer", and to build up a decent roster of those kinds of games is going to take time to develop. It really makes me hope that Nintendo considers funding more second-party developers like Platinum and Valhalla that are willing to make those kinds of games for Nintendo, because the first party devs certainly aren't interested.
Also, when I said Ninty's online was crap, I meant the systems they didn't put into place and expected developers to come up with on their own (invite systems, solid messaging systems, etc.). The actual quality of online play is good, it's just the other things that they don't have that I've got a problem with.
