| TheMisterManGuy said: Nintendo's never been a company who's cared about pushing the limits of their hardware, nor have they cared about bleeding edge graphics. Granted a game like Super Mario Odyssey will obviously require more time and resources to make than a game like 3D Land. But the point isn't so that we get Odyssey and 3D Land on the same system, it's that we'd get Odyssey, plus some random small project the team also decided to make. |
Nintendo have always pushed the limits of their hardware. Mario Kart, Smash, Breath of the Wild and so on were all examples on the WiiU.
| TheMisterManGuy said: It wasn't. This narrative that Labo is a failure is complete BS. It's been in the top 5 in Japan since launch, and was one of the best selling games in April according to the NPD. That doesn't sound like failure to me. |
Hence my question and why I didn't throw in a statement instead.
| TheMisterManGuy said: Yes, but let's face it, nobody played the Wii U. |
Irrelevant. A Re-release is still a bloody re-release no matter the excuses you try and make.
| TheMisterManGuy said: Not the point, point is we can get things like one big release in June, plus some oddball niche game or two accompanying it. |
Why not just turn that into several big releases and tap into the stupidly massive PC/Android market instead?
| TheMisterManGuy said: Yeah, they're possibly the most prolific major publisher in the industry at the moment, and the majority of their revenue comes from the amount of games they release exclusively for their hardware. |
And props to them, it's a very sound business model that obviously works and continues to work.
They are certainly the polar opposite to say... Microsoft that's for sure. - But that is not always a bad thing either, because a game like Minecraft gets exposed to more gamers, more platforms and the consumer ultimately wins, even if Microsoft itself doesn't.
| TheMisterManGuy said: I mean yeah, but Nintendo can release these smaller games at a sub-$60 price, or drop them on the eShop. Just like with 1-2 Switch, Snipperclips, Sushi Striker, and Captain Toad. |
But... Have they?
Just stating "can" is not a definitive answer.
