Why would you buy something, especially the games, and then just throw them into the closet with no intention of playing them?

I mean, I would think the reason you're a Nintendo fanatic and love 'giving them money' and supporting them, would be because you love their games, right?

Also, I'm sure you realize this, but just blindly buying all of a companies products out of sheer desire to support them is not a very smart consumer decision, even as a fan of said company.

While Triforce Heroes by all accounts is a stelllar and fun game that offers a lot of content, something as uninspired and bare bones as Ultra Smash does not necessarily deserve your support.
If you are a nintendo fan, you should support games you genuinely like, and want to see more of, in their library, to show them demand for those games is there. If you buy lazy and rushed games like Ultra Smash on the other hand you show them that they can get away with that and still make money, they likely are going to try it again.

If you value Nintendo's current quality standarts and games, don't support their screw-ups, because overall quality is going to drop. And then they're not going to be the company that you knew and love anymore.


I'm a nintendo fan, because I like their awesome producs, I have a lot of nostalgia and positivity towards them.
But you also have to realize that they're a company. They care about making money, so they don't perish, they don't care about you personally.

Of course you are perfectly free to blow your money on whatever you like, but If you're going spend it on products you don't care for, make it amiibos. There's a lot of them.

Couldn't agree more with this, if you want to give money to Nintendo and show the world how great their games are OP, why not have just bought 2 copies of Tri Force heroes and give one to someone you know who owns a 3ds but might not have bought the game, don't know someone with a 3DS, spend that money which is now laying on the floor of your closet on buying them a 3ds system and the game, that way you could end up creating a new Nintendo fan + supporting games which Nintendo makes which are great in 1 move. Rather than giving them money for titles which are just damaging to their IP's in terms of quality control.

Imo buying games which you know to be bad is voting with your wallet for Nintendo... but it is voting for the wrong candidate in their party.



 

That is such a much better idea than what he has been doing, if he acually want's to maximize profits for Nintendo.

Not to mention it would also create positivity around the brand (because, who doesn't like gifts?) and in his personal life, especially since Triforce Heroes is a co-op game. Do that with two people in your life, play the game toghether and you've probably created two livelong fans.

But that would be like a long term investment. :P
