| GoOnKid said: So you mean that Nintendo wants to cater to the so called 'hardcore gamers', right? But these gamers want m-rated games, sports, shooters and cinematic experiences, this is (mostly) the opposite of what Nintendo offers. Nintendo offers not all that many m-rated games and we hear these days that there won't be a ME:A, Titanfall 2 and REVII. I'm not trying to be rude, but could you please explain what you mean? (If you aren't already tired of it) |
Just because Nintendo does not have many (or for the most part any) M-rated offerings does not correlate to their desire to draw in gamers from different consoles. Its the main reason why they are so adamant about saying they have 3rd parties on board, and why they say they have 80 3rd party games in development). They know they want the gamers and realize they have so much need for third parties. The realized that with the Wii U. However, then they could not execute right. Even now they will struggle with the Switch as evidenced by the titles you mentioned (except RE7 I think the statement means nothing). Power is an issue. Online is an issue. Game quantity is an issue. Trust is an issue; the most important issue, and if Nintendo wants to suceed and gather gamers from other consoles (which they do), they are going to want to earn their trust. It doesn't mean they want to drive them away from the other consoles. Far from it. They want to create an ecosystem that those gamers can be comfortable purchasing their product and playing their games in. Think about it.
They are releasing their roughly 3-4 years into the lifespan of the other 2. They are probably releasing it earlier than desired due to investors and such. They wouldn't ignore Xbox and Playstation fans if they would devote sometime into putting EA on stage just to promote FIFA. They are desperate to engage major third parties to the Switch. And let's think about FIFA for a second. FIFA is a game you can get on every home console. Why would the Switch matter? For one, it shows Nintendo's dedication... to EA. Knowing this is the only thing they currently state is in development (we'll see), Nintendo still put the on stage in the forefront. Why? FIFA on the go could be a concept that engages many gamers, "hardcore" or otherwise into getting the system and getting the game. Nintendo is banking on that, which easily sustains the point they are interested in gamers who just game on Nintendo platforms for Nintendo games. They want to expand their market share, and the only way to do that is to expand their game library,
