Captain_Tom said: I think the fusion idea is a good one for the simple reason the Nintendo doesn't have enough games to split between two consoles as long as they have relatively bad 3rd party support. If they focused on one system they could easily pump out 4+ big exclusives a year. The only problem I have with the hybrid idea is that I doubt they can make a console as strong as current gen while also being portable (For a reasonable price of course). Perhaps in about 2 years the tech will be their but they would still be over a generation behind the PS5 in performance. Then again, maybe that will be enough for them... |
This year, big NIntendo exclusives.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Fatal Frame V (I'm hoping this comes over)
Smash Bros
Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 2 (with 1)
Pokemon
Professor Layton
Ace Attorney (at least on the console side)
Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney
Mario Golf
Hell, I would argue they are showing the rest of the industry how to properly price DLC passes (20 dollars for a years worth of content for Hyrule Warriors, and 12 for Mario Kart 8).

The bolded games are the ones I consider big excluesives. The rest are simply exclusives that supliment the lack of good 3rd party support. Notice how your list is split between two systems? Also keep in mind this list is not indicative of an average year for Nintendo.
If anything you cemented my stance that they can only support one system effectively. It is becoming more and more clear every year that if Nintendo truly wants to cling to this business plan of - "You must buy our inferior hardware if you want to play our specual games!"; then have to make it so Nintendo fans only need one console to play their "special" games.

Exactly!, plus with the fusion mostly being a mobile platform they can use that as an excuse for why its not as powerful as the other consoles but is really powerful in the mobile space and people would be happy with that i think since it would solve the problem of Nintendo getting backlash for making such weak hardware. Lets face it when it comes to power they are never going to be able to catch up to their competitors now as they have been a gen behind for the last 2 gens and that would be acceptible for Handhelds but not home consoles..

Ok good to know we are on the same page. I wasn't quite sure what you were sayin' there ;)
