Release a Zelda game faster than Skyward Sword. The only real Zelda that is not a spin-off or a port is releasing five years after the launch of the console.

If  they want my money, do it.

This is an interesting observation. As a fan, I agree, but if I were a share holder I'd point out that last gen Nintendo was leading with Zelda (WW, TP, FSA) on their home console and it was their weakest generation in sales vs. this one where they are leading with Mario.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

But we're talking Nintendo. And Nintendo went from major innovation (DS, Wii) that are very much unlike their predecessors to putting out the almost exact same with 3DS.

No they didn't.

3D is to 3DS what motion controls was to Wii.

Some people are just saying that because they don't like 3D, just like how some Nintendo fans said the same thing about Wii because they didn't like motion controls.

How is 3DS like NGP anyways? I wasn't aware that NGP had 3D built in.

Nintendo found a way to set its handheld apart from Sony with 3D, just like they did with DS touch screen and Wii motion controls.

All Nintendo has to do now is start putting out games that take advantage of 3D in some nice ways.

3D in 3DS is not as dominant as the use of the touchscreen in DS or motion controls in Wii. It can be turned off hence not key. Its use is rather gimmicky, and different people react differently to it. The 3DS and DS are very much alike.

First of all, what were you expecting Nintendo to do for a successor? What tech were you expecting them to use? There isn't an unlimited pool of tech for them to dig in and use.

Second, 3D not being as dominant as the use of touch screen isn't even true. There were lots of devices with touch screens when DS came out, but glassesless 3D is just coming into the mobile market and Nintendo is basically the first to market it. It holds alot of wow factor.

And why do you keep saying the DS and 3DS are very similar? Were you expecting them to overhaul the look of the hardware completely like from GBA to DS? The DS/3DS are very well built for handheld gaming, especially with their dual screens, so why would Nintendo let that go?

The DS and Wii's gimmicks were a change in game controls, but Nintendo can only go so far with that. There isn't any other cheap tech they can use to change how we play games. So they went with 3D, which enhances immersiveness during gameplay. I'm sure they'll find other cool ways to use it.

Just like motion controls and dual touch screens, no everyone is going to like 3D, but that doesn't matter. 3D will server the purpose Nintendo needs, which is to set itself apart and enhance the appeal of its products.

Expect my reply tomorrow... for now, I'm off to bed.

"win"? You're taking it way too seriously.

-I am not part of Nintendo, so no idea. However, clearly not something that is as gimmicky and different in effect between people.

-I am not talking market dominant, I'm talking dominant in gameplay use. Is pop out effect as useful as an alternative control method, map, or hud? No.

-I wasn't expecting the same thing w/better graphics and multiplayer interfaces. Not a complete overhaul however.

-Sure, it'll set itself apart... but is it as revolutionary or useful in games? Not really. If it were perfect in all people and hence made necessary, then it would be.

My thoughts. More specifics are coming but I had to get my thoughts out there first.

I know tone is hard to capture in online posts so I won't comment on the 'taking it way too seriously' thing.

The point is, people cannot expect something revolutionary every gen and it is not required. Why would anyone want to move on to new control methods every gen? That's moving too fast, there's still alot to be done with touch screens. Not to mention, like I said before the cheap tech isn't there.

Nintendo is going Revolution -> Evolution -> Revolution -> Evolution

As can be seen by their past consoles:

NES -> SNES -> N64 -> GC -> Wii -> 'Wii 2'

GameBoy -> GBA -> DS -> 3DS

They go from a revolutionary console to a more refined evolutionary one. And the handhelds  all seem to have some versions in between that seem to be experiments, like GB Colour, GBA  SP, the DS versions.

It seems for example, the SP might have been a test for the DS with the way it can open and close.
