they dont believe in realistic violent games, they put more enfasis in the fun factor and gameplay mechanics, they try to cater to a wider audience...
also we could ask why Sony or Microsoft havent made any action rpg, plataformer adventure, arcade racer, FP adventure, RTS...etc. to prove themselves?
Also if you are suggesting that core games are the realistic looking or violent themed or M rated ones, then you have no idea what you are talking about...

PLease Nintendo is so "core" as you can get



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

1.) So Nintendo would miss out on potentially bringing third-party games to their hardware, and satisfying their userbase, because of what they 'believe' in.

2.) Sony & Microsoft aren't the ones that desperately need third-party support.

3.) If you don't like that definition of 'core', then talk to 3rd parties, not me.

"We cannot compete in the FPS/Shooter/Hack-and-Slash/Mature" market with Nintendo; their games sell too much!"

There, I moved that goalpost for ya.......

Because Nintendo games sell more than those core games you mentioned?

Well, it's not like they can't, it's just that it would be too drastic of a change for them if they don't have the expertise in it. The problem, I would think, is the market itself. Why would Nintendo lump itself into FPS when it is the most competitive genre right now? There is far less competition in action adventure, platformers, party games, RPGs, racing, and casual games. As far as I can tell, Mario has no competition when it comes to platformers, Zelda has some competition with action-adventure(apparently its an ARPG to some people), but if you have no competition in an area, just stick to that and milk it while you can.

Nintendo going into FPS genre would really be them catching up or either innovating, which will be much different than what a 3rd Party would put out. The market is just too competitive, I think, for them to join it, but not saying they wouldn't however. Metroid is still solid and seperates itself heavily from other FPS, but new IPs from Nintendo, I guess it's a wait and see what their other studios put out. We got Xenoblade Chronicles, which is a good core game, so perhaps stronger RPGs will hit the Wii U.



Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward = best game ever made.

1. Of course they have to follow their beliefs
2. Sony and Microsoft dont have 1st party games that outsell 3rd party games
3. Ps360 users believe that, that includes you...

It doesn't have to be a FPS. It could be an adventure game, hack-and-slash game, RPG, racer, etc. As long as it's something 3rd parties could make so to prove to them that they coukd have success.

bad controller imo. imagine playing GTA with the wii mote. or even the game cube controller. it would just be bad. also the wiis market is 5-13 year olds and 25-55 year olds for the most part.
the market for hardcore games is the opposite of what the majority wii marketshare happens to be.
