Forums - Nintendo - Two years without new Mario games starting from Q3 2012

It's what 3rd parties need to be announced to invest more on Wii.

3rd parties just need to stop making excuses and invest in quality over quantity.



That's absolutely ridiculous



 

This already happened, after the release of MKWii. Nintendo went quiet to give third parties a chance to get established on the platform, or at least it appeared that they were trying to replicate what happened with the DS. The result was the quietest software period in the Wii's history.



what is this i don't even

Wii___ titles sell a lot more than Mario___. Unless they're Mario ____ Wii.

Regardless, success for 3rd parties is about developing quality brands on Wii with mass market appeal. Problem is they keep sullying their efforts with mediocre titles. Sonic is notorious for it, EA is trying to establish MySims but has been wildly inconsistent with the quality.
Capcom's done a good job with the Resident Evil franchise but it's not mass market enough.

Probably the most established brands on Wii outside of Nintendo is Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Lego which all have broad appeal and had consistent efforts (well, RB started poorly but gradually improved and yes, I'm ignoring Lego Rock Band just like everyone else did). Call of Duty has done well with consistently good titles. Etc.

Hype won't sell on Wii. Brands that equate to quality and family fun do. Problem is outside of those mentioned, no one has or is, developing such brands (besides Nintendo).



 

you know? i rather have two years without mario in exchange with OTHER first party games.

But Nintendo didn't announce it in advance, 3rd parties would have needed to know some time before to develop with all the care needed their games for that blessed period!

Original Nintendo Wii ___ games slaughter a lot of crappy 3rd party "Wii Too" games, this is good, not bad.

But Mario is a cannibal also for good 3rd party games, when he's around it's as if nothing else existed.

Wii third party companies would deserve to go bankrupt. Unfortunately it won't happen since their half-arsed shovelware games sell much more than they deserve.
