| spurgeonryan said: Sure, it made boatloads of money, but it tarnished their imsge, abandoned third parties even more when good games had to compete with trash and they obviously wasted their time catering to the casual early on this gen....to no avail. I think they are pretty much done with casuals for now, until they get into the mobile market.
Don't hold your breath for Wii U sports resort. |
I don't think the Wii destoryed their connection to 3rd parties... It was the WII U for making a controller into a tablet. Devs are looking at the gamepad like its some sort of Alien device from another planet.... That and Hardcore Nintendo fanboys don't buy any game without that Golden Nintendo Seal of Quality sign...
Wii had TONS OF 3RD Party support (Actionvision, EA,Ubisoft,Sega to name a few).
As for your OP, it wasn't bad for them at all. They should have CONTINUED to catter to casuals by expanding to a gaming audience.
And just because a Console is made for casuals does not mean it can't have hardcore gamer games for it. The latter is much more harder to accomplish.
