Sakurai calls DLCs these days a scam

[DolPhanTendo]

Well see here's where you and I differ. You geninely believe Nintendo has your family's best interest at heart. Based on my experience working with them to develop games for the Wii, DS, and 3DS, I have to disagree. However, Nintendo is first and foremost out there to make money. Period.

Nintendo is super super strict on the image they portray, this is true, but that's not always been the case, and you don't have to look too far back. Nintendo made a play very early in the life of the Wii-U to get the attention of "more mature" audiences. I remember when I bought my kid to the video game store, and they saw the Zombi-U bundle. They had themselves a good cry from the image of the zombie guard. They had no interest in anything to do with the Wii U after that. The christmas list changed from Wii U to PS4, which suited me just fine. Unfortunately for Nintendo, the play backfired. they've shown that the "more hardcore demographic" has all but abandoned them based on the sales of Zombi-U, Watch Dogs, and Bayonetta 2 amongst others. Third party research has shown that practically the only people who buy the Wii U are families, and hardcore Nintendo fans. That's the main reason why you don't see "Wii-U" on the list of Nintendo platforms I've worked on. There's practially no money in it if you're not making family oriented games with Nintendo signing your pay checks.

I'm not sure where you get off posting that I'm some sort of anti-Nintendo troll that wants Nintendo to change. I've said nothing of the sort. My main point has been this since the beginning: Nintendo is no better or worse than Sony or Microsoft. They aren't more moral. They aren't more ethical. All three of the console manufacurers are out there to make money. Sony and MS are more concerns with getting their consoles in as many homes as possible, and Nintendo targets families for its sales. It's two sides of the same coin. Most of what I've done is here point out the hypocrisy of Nintendo-apoligists that are very quick to bash the likes of EA and Activision for one thing, and just as quick to defend Nintendo when Nintendo goes and does more or less the exact same thing. That's it. My problem with Nintendo is not with the company. Nintendo is going to do its own thing and be successful for a long time. My biggest problem is its with its most hardcore fans who constantly project an image of believing that Nitnendo does almost nothing wrong, its competitors do almost nothing as well as Nintendo does, and that Nintendo deserves more respect than any other video game company. 

That's simply is not the case.

They are no better. they are no worse.

Lol a lot holes in PC spin. You say you no problem with NINTENDO but you stated it suited you just fine when your kids wanted PS4 instead of a WiiU. Sounds like you didn't want to have to buy it from the start. Then you go on and bash people like me who support their console of choice just because we do not focus on the negative. Little piece of advice nothing is perfect and never will be so why sit there and just be pissed and find the negative in everything. I see it all the time on this site, Twitter, and YouTubers instead supporting the system prefer they just bash fucking Nintendo. Crying out for them to stop making consoles, be with "the times", go third party, on and on and on and the latest the whole voice chat crap now. Crist anything Nintendo does people full on troll mode. So the few like myself who are tired of it just defend Nintendo and now we are the bad guys too.

Well guess what I think gaming is screwed because of these people, we already see happening where kids are playing tablets games rather than consoles. Gaming industry has huge fucking hate problem and it starts with developers acting like little bitches because they do not get their way 100 percent of the time, to the hardcore gamers. Which you brought up caused the deathly slow start for the WiiU. Nintendo tried to appease these dicks with a more mature look and it backfired, not the tablet controller or the power because if you are a hardcore gamer that shouldn't of mattered right? Does tablet fit comfortably and is it not choppy, which it is. Are the games in HD with beautiful graphics yes it is. That is what they bitched about the Wii. 

Nintendo listened did these things with a mix of Nintendo innovation the hardcore gamers still gave it shitty, crappy hate thread without even trying it. So Nintendo said finally did the right thing and said you know what we will go back to what we do best and stick with family fun and now their consoles are selling decent. 

All I'm saying is maybe Nintendo is happy being a family company and is profiting why the help can't that be enough with people like you
