What Can Nintendo Do To Appeal To The West?

[DaAndy]

Without having read every post until here:

I guess they can do only one thing - nothing.

The 3rds would not even jump on the Nintendo console if it has the same specs as their competition.


Nintendo has to grow enormously and do everything on their own without having regularly games droughts.
From the games point of view.
They need Shooters (as Call of Duty or Battlefield) and Action games (as Assasins Creed) with online-coop and achievements.
They need some RPG as epic as Skyrim and racing "sims" as GT or Forza.

The main thing is, i guess, that most of the western gamers have a need for realistic graphics. With "realistic" I just mean not-cartoony not too colourful in this case.

And from these games they need a lot ... like 3rds are delivering to any other console.

I think Bayonetta 2, even though i will not buy it, is a step into the right direction. According to what i learned due to different boards(forums sounds strange and probably is completely wrong^^) ,Bayo2 seems to be a reason for some people to buy a WiiU.
They simply need much more of these games.

People may think:
I dont buy a WiiU for only 3D Mario.
I dont buy a WiiU for only SmashBros.
I dont buy a WiiU for only Mariokart.
I dont buy a WiiU for only Bayo2.
I dont buy a WiiU for only Xenoblade.
...
But if they say it 10 or 15 times, they will buy WiiU, because they now they then have 10-15 games which they want to play.

Without wanting to insult someone - neither here on the board nor someone else on any other gaming board - but people saying "i want 10 games for a console, but this is too little for me - i am not going to buy the console for "only" 10 games" are very very strange.
If you can get the console for just 200 bucks or so it is compared to the money you have to spent for the 10 games (lets say 10 games each 50, which means 500 bucks in total), not very much.

The bad side is: I guess not only a few nintendo fans would not buy these "western" games.
I dont like Shooters, I dont like just Action, I dont like racing sims.
I prefer coloured games (would never ever buy such brown-grey stuff) with fantasy and just an nice friendly world.
I dont want to conclude from my taste to other gamers, but i guess this is like being the exact opposite. Western games Nintendo games.
I would love to see some skyrim like rpg for WiiU but a bit more colourful and less realistic looking.
But western gamer probably would not like it simply by its look.

They should not try to copy western games, they just should make the games they make, but with an drastically increasing output, for which Nintendo needs much more employees.

Even if Nintendo will be 3rd place in console war forever from this gen on, I just want them to make the game we, the nintendo fans, like and love. I want them to survive and they will do for sure.
If they are going too much into western games neglecting their typical "Nintendo" games they will loose their loyal fanbase and are unlikely to get a new bigger fanbase of western gamers without ultra expensive commitment, as these are completely into PS and XBox consoles.
