| Soundwave said: Nintendo doesn't have anything like Star Wars or Pirates or Marvel though. That's kinda the issue. Even in the 90s, Nintendo had things like Killer Instinct, Star Wars, GoldenEye/Bond, Perfect Dark, Starcraft, NBA Courtside ft. Kobe Bryant, MLB ft. Ken Griffey Jr., 1080 Snowboarding, and various other sports games. Today these are pretty much non-existant, they've gone backwards in the last 10-15 years. A deal with Marvel/Disney for games based on those characters would be a smart deal to make, Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, etc. are examples of IP that appeal to kids, but appeal equally or even moreso to teenagers and even adults. Nintendo doesn't really have enough of that dynamic. Japanese developers have narrow appeal today, Nintendo needs to wake up and start to collaborate with Western licensees. The console market is 90% in the West now, whether Nintendo likes it or not. Or buy the Bond license (it's available and probably cheap). That wouldn't be bad either. |
Soundwave, it's like you pick one sentence out of my posts and react to it alone while ignoring the rest. The entire post was about addressing that.
