They are embarrassments, and have done great damage to the reputations of their respective series' and to Nintendo themselves. The fact that these games are basically not selling is of course suitable punishment for Nintendo, hitting them right where it hurts - in the back pocket. And no, I'm not letting them get away with Devil's Third either. NoA didn't even want to publish it, and as I've said before, they should've just stuck to their guns on that rather than this brush it under the carpet release. |
Can spin-offs really affect the main series' reputations? I mean, it's like its a mainline Animal Crossing game or something. The board game is a game that the director (who co-directed New Leaf, mind you) decided to use amiibos as a centerpiece. It apparently didn't work out as well because it wasn't a fun board game (though I haven't played it so I can't judge it well).
Nintendo has made mediocre games before in the past. I'm sure everyone will remember Wii Music, right?
I do somewhat agree that Devil's Third should've been better supported by NoA, but I can understand why they decided otherwise due to the various flaws of the game.
