Features such as? What has Nintendo really done in the past decade that's so great? Nothing I can think of that I care about. Regardless that assumes that if Nintendo stopped making hardware there'd never be any advancements made in gaming technology... oh wait shareplay.... VR.... Online Parties.... multi-touch.... Nintendo leaving hardware would not stop innovation. Amongst Mobile Hardware Manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft, Logitech, Razer, Oculus, and many other companies that may or may not exist yet, I think gaming hardware advancements would be covered should Nintendo dedicated themselves to software. Regardless I'm more than content with gaming hardware as it is, it's software that needs to be innovated, not hardware. |
Maybe not for you however i loved using the Wii motes as the Wip in Metroid Prime 3, or using it to bowl bombs in Zelda or using the WiiU Pad for Zombi.
Your just seeing it as a hardware difference. Look behind the scenes. Maybe Mario Galaxies wouldn't exist due to the idea of the Wii motes. Games dont have to utlise them to there fullest. Maybe Galaxies was created on the idea of collecting Star Bits. Who knows. We do know that Nintendo breed ideas from there innovations. Just like the ideas that came from the analog stick on the N64. Metroid might not have exist if it wasnt for the C Buttons etc. Im talking on creating new stories. Ideas come from something and innovated controls definitely push the imagination.
Keep giving Nintendo the same old controls and there games will get boring.
