| pokoko said: It makes them good at individual slices of gaming, sure. Like the Sony studio that makes the Baseball game or the studios that only make Military Shooters. I'm sure Nintendo has platformers polished up better than anyone else in the industry. If that's your thing then Nintendo is your clear choice. What about all the other genres and settings? Where are the choices? What if you value those new experiences you mentioned? What if you'd rather play something different and unique instead of Mario Kart 15 or another Mario platformer? Nintendo simply leaves out most gamers. Nintendo has become a specialty vendor. That's my point. They serve a narrow group of gamers only. I'm not saying that's a bad thing or that it means they have a bad product, only that they aren't going to attract many new customers with that approach, maybe not even enough to combat natural turnover. Where did Nintendo's new customers come from last gen? Splatoon. A new genre with new characters. All I'm saying is that the Wii U lineup won't cut it on the NX if they want to grow market share. It just won't. |
I'd say there are hardly any genres that Nintendo doesn't support. Basically it's only sport sims and FPS, although they licensed some of these in the past. They even flirt with the horror genre and publish gory action titles from time to time. Nintendo is by far the most diverse developer/publisher.
