These are dark times for Ninty, thankfully splatoon is that little bright light shining for their future. nintendo need to put away all disappointments, reject certain perceptions placed on them etc and just identify and attack all their weaknesses. Its not about being a "me too" business, its retaking what they built. Make sure your innovation palate has a basis where 3rd parties can also thrive - be welcoming instead of projecting some new standard. Honestly, its NX or bust for this company. |
Bolded: I agree.
As I wrote in another thread the industry needs another successful Nintendo home console as Nintendo's exclusive library coupled with every multiplat would make the defnitive console.
I prefer when Nintendo innovate through gameplay rather than hardware so I really hope their next home console has specs, architecture and controller blessed by 3rd party developers (it's crucial to have the multiplats like GTA, COD, FIFA, MGS, FF, RE, AC, BF, TES, Fallout, Red Dead, Far Cry, ME, DA, etc.).
Additionally, I hope they have solid launch (or launch window) exclusives including exciting new IPs and highly demanded exclusives like an ultimate 3D "The Pokémon Adventure" (why is this not a thing?), the rumored next-gen 3D Super Mario (let's call it Galaxy 3) and a full-blown Metroid or Zelda game (would be great if they could cater to both longtime fans and a larger, more mainstream audience with these two games).
For this to be possible I think Nintendo has to expand and add at least 1 more Western development studio (like Retro Studios) to their family of 1st party developers. Granted, it won't be cheap but Nintendo can afford it and if this could help them reach a larger audience they may as well do it now rather than later. Nintendo's Japanese developers will continue to provide the magical Nintendo games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and [insert random quaility Nintendo game]. So this can in no way be bad for the core fans.
This would be my dream next-gen home console from Nintendo and what I think could sell potentially huge numbers WW.
