| Scisca said: Also, I think people may be overestimating what the merging of the divisions will give. After all, there is a massive, massive gap between current home console games (PS4/Xbone level) and 3DS games. 3DS devs will have to learn how to make these HD games and will require the same learning time as Nintendo home console devs needed at the beginning of Wii U. Also, just because Nintendo is capable of pumping out 20 3DS games per year doesn't mean that these teams will make 20 NX games. They'll make 2 or 3 instead. I mean, just compare that upcoming Metroid space football shooter to Halo 5 or Uncharted 4... So yeah, I'm fairly certain that Nintendo will need Wii U ports (preferably somewhat improved to take advantage of better hardware) in order to avoid the killer droughts, especially in the first year. |
U must not know much about the type of game Nintendo primarily makes if u r using Halo 5 or Uncharted 4 as a comparison. The majority of Nintendo games focus on simple, lighthearted fun regardless of being on handheld or console. Nintendo isn't all of a sudden going to start emphasizing on big blockbuster style games out of nowhere. Look at the Nintendo published titled on Wii/Wii U, the most successful ones are simple/casual friendly titles, not complex/hardcore focused.
For every Xenoblade/Bayonetta that Nintendo publishes there are five times as many Captain Toad/Splatoon/Mario Maker/Woolly World/Amiibo Festival style games that are just as suitable on handhelds as they are on consoles. These are the type of games Nintendo will continue to emphasize on next generation, not things like Halo or Uncharted.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
