| McDonaldsGuy said: The backlash is from Nintendo itself, because not even they are using the gamepad for anything. Starfox ... and maybe I'm in the minority but I really like several of the Nintendo land games (metroid is a ton of fun, AC- Sweetest Day, Mario Chase, to a lesser extent both Luigi's Ghost Mansion and The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest) The gamepad was one of the worst ideas in the history of gaming. No hype for it whatsoever. Think of it this way - Sony has copied Nintendo's controller since the orignal PlayStation. The PS1 controller was modeled after the SNES controller. Nintendo comes out with an analog stick, Sony makes the Dual Analog. Nintendo comes out with rumble, Sony comes out with the Dual Shock. Nintendo creates the GameCube Wavebird, Sony then also goes wireless. Nintendo comes out with the Wiimote, Sony laughably tries to copy them with the Sixaxis controller and eventually the Move controller. Sony didn't even bother acknowledging the Wii U controller. NO ONE outside of Nintendo thought it was a good idea, and now I bet Nintendo is regretting it. Didn't sony add a touch pad to the DS4? Sadly I haven't even played a PS4 yet so I may be off in how similar it is ... Also their thoughts about online really prove my point: they have gone completely insane and they need an executive overhaul + rebranding like the PS3 did in 2009. It is hard to keep online family friendly and Nintendo is a Family Friendly company That said they could do a few things differently and still be family friendly.
I will say I liked your idea for their achievement system, I don't personally care about trophies / achievements but MANY players do and it adds to the replay value of most any game for those that do care. |
