The Halo strategy isn't what you suggest. Unless you claim that Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo Wars feature the same gameplay. Halo 4 is even opening up the game world a bit so it doesn't consist of linear corridors. In fact, I'd say Microsoft is following a very Mario-like strategy in terms of keeping the franchise fresh and relevant.

As for Call of Duty, you got me there. Nobody will get tired of it. Just like how nobody got tired of Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero.

But Pie, what you think they did doesn't really matter in this topic, it's what the gamer community at large thought that matters.

You read the interview?

He is right Nintendo fans are weird. Nintendo had a decent press conference and showed a lo things Nintendo fans care about. But you have to understand, they can´t show new IP´s when they are not developing ones. Altough it was a stupid move not to reveal the Wii U specs at least. Bu maybe they are no confident enough with this product.

No, I read the OP. Which is really all I should need to do.

The Gamer Community at large is spoiled. It's obvious in the way some people held grudges against Nintendo's E3 this year. 

I meant 1,2,3,Reach,4 are the same. That's a lot more games of the same type than Nintendo put out in the same period, if not quite yearly. ODST and Wars are indeed different and should probably recieve their own sequels.

Evidence for Halo 4 being open world? The trailer I saw was very linear.

Also I think nobody DID get tired of Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk's core gameplay. GH ran out of content (new songs people actually wanted to play on it), they tried to change up the gameplay with hardware peripherals but it was no substitute. TH ran out of people who were intersted in skateboarding as a hobby, which was beyond their control.

GH should have rationed the 'good' songs over a 10 year period.

I don't think specs are the problem honestly. The WiiU is clearly capable of games like TLoU and Beyond, it is more powerful than a PS3.

Question is, where were those games to show the gamer crowd at large? Nowhere.

What Nintendo has created with Uprising was, in essence, a new IP with a very different audience than the NES version. Theoretically, this means that the Kid Icarus brand name has found broader appeal.

Okay, you just don't get it NP.

In any issue, there are always two sides. As I said in my post to Montana, I see that gamers are spoiled, but I also argued that Nintendo needs to up its game.

Problem is, you always see one side of the coin. There's nothing I can do about that.

But also lost some of its classic appeal.

Here in this case it's a fair request, because he's only asking for 2 branches, which is manageable especially since one branch is just 2D (requires less resources).

His 3-branch request for Mario 3D is where Nintendo should either draw the line, or meet in a different way (using another IP like Banjo Kazooi did).

The Gamers are spoiled, I agree with you on that. Nintendo needs to clean itself up, I agree with you on that as I've stated before.

I see both sides. I just see that the Gaming Community is the worst part of the equation.
