What I find interesting is how people are praising a games released on the WiiU as if something has changed with Nintendo. In other words, Nintendo still makes the same games on the same platforms but the only difference is the hardware. I have bought pretty much every piece of Nintendo system to come out so this rediscovery by switch players with WiiU games just makes me smile. Its like they all wake up and found out that Nintendo is still the company they always have been and probably will always be as they care their own path to success. |
It's funny how communication and marketing work. Nintendo makes the exactly same games (Zelda was already being developed for Wii U for years and Mario Kart 8 has been launched years ago), but the perception of people change because Nintendo cleared its message. Switch just corrected some flaws from 3DS (nobody care about 3D anymore, so a new portable without it and with more power was needed), Wii U (instead of a poor designed heavy control with screen, the system itself is in your hand, but you can separate the controls from it and can really play everywhere, not just near the TV) and Wii (instead of buying lots and lots of accessories, the system already comes with the possibility of two people playing together with motion controls, no cables between the two controllers like wiimote and nunchuk). NS is the result of rethinking all the things that went right and wrong in the last years of Nintendo, but don't necessarily show anything really new. Nintendo realize the most important thing: the problem wasn't games and wasn't graphic power. The problem was lack of simplicity in the message. You don't need to be a gamer to know what makes Switch unique. And people love Nintendo's games, they just needed the right reason to play them again.
