| HandofPrometheus said: Another reason was the lack of interesting games to appeal to non nintendo fans. Nintendo just keep releasing mario crap that non nintendo fans dont care about his games release somethin new and breathtaking. A good example of this was splatoon, bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X which surprisingly did good in catching people attention. |
To degree this true but Nintendo did publish the upgraded port of Ninja Gaiden 3 with Wii U. Their biggest problem was that they didn't ADVERTISE it and some the other 3rd party games at launch. Imagine instead of seeing a lame neon Hollywood squares commercial with families, you saw a commercial focused on ZombiU. Or one that showcased Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's edge as a Wii U exclusive (which would have been true at the time) or some of the other 3rd party ports they had at the time.
Nintendo had games lined up for the traditional gamer but they failed to market them and thus the games failed to move units and now the perceptions are that no one cares. It isn't all on Nintendo in terms of other 3rd party publishers but in cases were Nintendo could help they should.
