Damn... I wanted to say not release a Zelda... but meh, I am not welcome here...

Make the next Zelda like Skyrim.

If they stop making quality games then I won't buy the games - I only buy quality games

If their support for the Wii U is no different over the coming 6-12 months than it has been since launch.

Nintendo was not ready to launch the Wii U last year and they well knew it- but they did it anyway to capitalize on a holiday retail season as the only new console release instead of releasing w the XBONE and PS4 this year.

IMO it was short sighted and has hurt the longer term viability of the Wi U as well as the trust of many people/families that bought the Wii U during launch (as well as many developers who released games on the Wii u to see disastrous sales. As much as I wish we could have the opportunity to play so many of the good games we miss out on from various 3rd party developers- I can t blame them one bit for not investing in the Wii U via games so far- hopefully by Jan 2014 there will be enough Wii U s sold and enough momentum that 3rd party Dev s will be willing to invest in more games for the wii u

If Nintendo started copying and pasting, releasing a generic console, same controller, same games, no innovation, just better graphics (like microsoft & sony)- then they'd lose me as a customer

If they would start to create mediocre games like 95% of the other devs Games that lose value/drop in price superfast (like today $60 bucks next month $30 already) because they are everywhere (PS PS3 360 Vita whatnot)

Then they might lose me. Also when they start to be like everyone else (boring).

But since their games are mostly great and keep their value/price for like 10000 years I buy most of their games full price.

I mean I can play Mario 64 and Galaxy and both are the same IP/genre etc but both are completely different games. Whereas Fifa 11, 12 and 13 become useless when 14 comes out.

Plus Mario 3D games for example don't really get better. They are great and the next installment is also great but in a different way it's like Simpsons episodes that actually have no real connection to the next one (thats a cool thing).

This has an advantage:
Some games are trilogies. The first game was new and had some flaws and the next installments are more polished but since its the same story that is told across the three games it somehow feels dragging.
And when you finished the last game and try to replay the first one the gameplay feels old and unpolished.

In Mario for example every game is its on little story and you dont feel that the older games are really old because their gameplay is perfect for the game its supposed to be in.

Plus most of their games age well because of their artstyle I prefer colorful artistic over realism. I mean Twilight Princess for example is my least favorite 3D Zelda it looked old when it came out Wind Waker on the other hand still looks fresh. (TP also had an emtpy hyrule field, no holes/caves in the ground to discover, ugly chickens with human heads and boobs, translation mistakes etc.. there was alot wrong with this game)

Plus Nintendo is just different and thats what I like about them they might rehash NSMB for example but 4 games in what ?5? years is still more fresh than 10000 shooters in 2 years.

Plus their games feel complete. When I buy their games I dont have to worry about buying half games and adding the rest. Sure they are thinking about DLC but when I look at Fire Emblem Awakening their DLC seems to be "okay" meaning I dont need it and not owning it doesn't ruin my game.

As long as they keep making Pokemon I'll buy whatever console they make, even if it only plays Pokemon games.

The day they stop making Pokemon games is the day I'll never look back. That's the only franchise from Nintendo I care about, and I care about it more than any other gaming franchises out there.

Simple: they would have to stop making games that I enjoy playing.

I get a little fatigued with certain IPs from Nintendo sometimes but they have so many to choose from I can just play something else.

If they try and sell the next console on a gimmick I'll give up on them. The Wii U is definitely a "last chance" console right now.

This.
