List wars, Nintendo vs. Nintendo!

I agree with you to some extent (I want a new Wave Race) regarding too much focus lately on JnR, but please don't bring Sony to your own discussion when you list Killzone, Infamous and Uncharted as examples of their diversity.

And if you mention Heavy Rain, a game not developed by Sony, I could as well throw in games like Lego City Undercover and Bayonetta 2.

BTW: Nintendo makes more RPGs and strategy games than Sony or Microsoft.

You could take any company besides Nintendo.

Replace shooter with platformer and get the same result. It's not just Nintendo, it's the general industry.


I disagree, Sony has had pretty good diversity.

Little big planet games-2D plat

Infamous- Open world superhero

Uncharted- 3rd person set piece shooter

God of War- Action brawler?

Killzone-FPS

Motorstorm-Off road arcade racing

Gran Turismo- Realistic racing

Sly 4- Stealth plat

Twisted Metal- Vehicular Combat

Heavy Rain-Story game

You could say the same thing about Nintendo:

Pikmin - RTS

Zelda - Adventure 

Smash Bros - Fighting

Xenoblade/X: Open world JRPG

Metroid Prime 3 - FPS

Other M - 3rd person action

Wii Sports - Sport

Wii Fit - Fitness



Dem Nintendo v Nintendo lists!

But as others have said there is plenty of variery. But Nintendo's main franchises are platformers.

You only need to think platformers are easy to make and low risk, so come at the start of the gen. Come next year, only 1 platformer is announced for the U.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm not much of a Nintendo gamer at all but seriously, whatever happened to Wave Race? I used to love that game! On a similar note, what did Sony do with Jet Moto? Both awesome games!



i think platformers just take less time to make. All that other stuff will come. Other than that platformers have been pretty lucrative for them as a company.



the sooner they are out of the way the sooner the other genres will come

I sure as hell want a new Metroid though

 

IWANTIWANTIWANT!!!
