I'd give it a "B-" for creativity and "F" for content. Kind of reminds of that SpurgeRyan thread where he is urging people to buy one third party game a month.

Yep, now Nintendo fans must do charity for multi-million dollar corporations.

Finally some logic in the thread. Why should I buy something I don't like?

There are millions of people that buy those games, but they don't pick up a Nintendo system because they don't expect the games they like to show up there, and third parties won't port their games to Nintendo systems because their audience isn't there.

Nobody except SubiyaCryolite buys something based off promises, so the only way to break the vicious cycle is to build an audience that likes those games on Nintendo systems, but third parties aren't willing to, and if Nintendo does it they'll switch to the "We can't compete with Nintendo" we've heard before.


>_>



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

So, Nintendo´s problems are Iwata, Miyamoto and the fanboys.

Anyonle else ?

I´m taking bets who  will be the next problem:

-Reggie
-Nintendofangirls
-Obama
-the Janitors at NoA

i know i'm a fanboy and all but did he really just compare ZeldaHd remake to ico/gow collection remake and call that a valid criticism? wtf he's a flaming sony fanboy.

 

FROM THE ARTICLE: Here’s an example of a valid criticism: “$50 is too much for any HD remake, especially when Sony gave us HD sets with multiple games for $40 on the PS3.”

 

just look at the gamecube price on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-/139973/i.html?_from=R40&_sop=15&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=wind+waker+gamecube&_dcat=139973&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=2750

and then check out the ps2 ico price...

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-/139973/i.html?_from=R40&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&LH_ItemCondition=2750&_nkw=ico&_dcat=139973&Platform=Sony%2520PlayStation%25202&rt=nc

 

So aside from the fact that Windwaker is more valuable than the ps2 sets.   There was also more done to Celda than just adapting to HD such as gameplay enhancements, altered quests, added gamepad features... Clearly this article is written from someone that is not impartial.

Wow, you're doing exactly what the author said a fanboy would do, take something that deserves to be criticized and try to somehow justify it.

The fact that Wind Waker sells for that much on Ebay doesn't even come close to giving Nintendo a reason to sell the remake for $50. Also what does it matter if Nintendo did some extra stuff on the Wind Waker HD remake? It still took only 6 months to develop, they don't have to cover huge development costs for the game.

Nintendos choice to price the game at $50 is bullshit and does not need to be defended.


What? If you are going to sell a timeless masterpiece sell it for what it deserves. and don't let ppl compare it to ico or gow.

That is total bullshit, a game that has been developed for cheap should be priced accordingly and not be priced higher because it's a remake of a timeless masterpiece. Also by what metric is Wind Waker a timeless masterpiece and Shadow of the Colossus (you know the game that you get with ICO in the HD Collection for $40) isn't? Because it sells for more on Ebay? Cause if that's the reason, then I have another game that apparently is a much bigger masterpiece than Wind Waker and SotC together:

Nintendo relies too much on old franchises

Nintendo needs to revive Star Fox, F-Zero, Wave Race (old franchises)

@OP:
1) Blaming the user means granted failure.
2) It must be said, though, that with Internet as sounding board, vocal minorities may look bigger than they actually are, increasing their influence both on companies and other users. But companies should be able to tell their real weight, and common , more casual users and fans can most of the times tell whether another fan is normal or a fanboy going ballistic.

You want metrics? Well going by ebay (you know, the place where the rare things are more expensive) ico and sotc sold much fewer copies, 0.5m and 1.1m respectively, than wind waker which sold 4.6m.  So you'd think ico and sotc would be more expensive and harder to find except Nintendo fans don't sell their games.  Maybe it's because they are timeless as in they don't look or play like shit no matter how many decades pass by.  If that's not a good enough metric for ya then see metacritic.. find your own metric.  What ever works for ya.  Imo a great work doesn't diminish in value.
