Forums - Nintendo - How Nintendo failed its fans

Nintendo hasn't "failed their fans". They failed themselves by not managing Wii U development better.

I've said this before, but all of this drought nonsense could have been greatly averted by simply making Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario 4, both games that didn't NEED to be on 3DS, and could both have been better on Wii U, make those Wii U releases in the first half of 2013. Have one of them come out in Jan/Feb., the other in April or so. Problem basically semi-solved. There was no reason for those titles to be 3DS games, and they focused too much development effort on the 3DS, which has been getting a glut of games for the last year+.

Outside of the drought, Nintendo has not "failed their fans".

What was that? I can't hear you over the sound of D.J. K.K.

Good one. The 3DS wouldn't even had a holiday release in 2012 without Paper Mario: Sticker Star.



This post is a good one!
Nintendo can't just focus all it's resources on one platform at a time, as that'll just result in a 3DS drought, then a Wii U drought, then another 3DS one, and so ons. Divide their development resources evenly between the two consoles, they must! Plus for those games specifically that he mentioned, they were in development long before the Wii U released, so Nintendo had no way of knowing how things were gonna turn out for it. At the time it was the 3DS that was struggling.

Don't worry, it's not hard to not talk about games when it comes to the Wii U, being that it has none.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I think the right answer is grafix.


sales > market share > pachter> sex> ice cream> graphics > the actual game

Pachter always comes first, you fool! Followed by the game's quantity of giant enemy crabs and Usher.

When you can name a console's entire game library in just two lines after it's been out for almost a year (most of which were released within the first month or so of launch), that's usually not a good thing.
