Even that I'd be willing to (and I think many "experienced" Nintendo gamers) meet Nintendo half way. Give us a fucking Supplemental Compute Dock at least. Give us something that provides a real and tangiable upgrade from the Wii U that we paid $300-$350 for. We'll pay extra for it. You don't even have to mandate support for it. I just do not want to be locked in for another 4-6 years on another Wii U level of hardware if this is what I'm supposed to play on my TV with. That's not a ridiculous request for 2017. If Nintendo is genuine about offering something for "everyone" then everyone's wants/needs should be given consideration, not the Wii/Wii U philosophy which is basically every design element of the system is for casuals and experienced gamers should not complain because "Zelda". I had "Zelda" on my SNES and N64 and GameCube too, so don't give me that shit, Zelda doesn't mean you can cut 100 different corners. I'm fine with appealling to casuals, but there needs to be a more thoughtful and *fair* approach to how their hardware is designed. It should not be one part of audience has hardware designed for all their needs, while experienced gamers are thrown a dual analog and nothing else and told to suck it up. |
I understand what you are saying and I agree - IMO, if their hardware was enough to make 3 rd party games viable then that is great - but IMO Nintendo is not going to give much consideration in it s hardware as it relates to 3 rd party s ( I hope I am wrong) - it is a shame because Nintendo s games ( potentially) are the only differentiator they need if they have competent hardware and reasonable policies/commitment to 3rd party s
