Nintendo has become irrelevant in the gaming world. The only ones that still like Nintendo are people that grew up with their favorite cartoon characters like Mario, Pokemon, Kirby, Yoshi etc. and can't seem to let go.
And then they insist on making numerous threads on various forums trying to prove that hey are not childish but just misunderstood.

There is nothing of value on the Nintendo console to an average gamer, which are mainly adults now.

I must add that there is nothing wrong with playing kiddie games, especially Nintendo's since they are good, quality fun, but an average gamer needs something else than a cartoony game every 3-4 months.

I think you have the wrong idea. The Wii U failed to appeal to the casual. Thehardcore nintendo and hardcore second system is what they have and are appealing to.



make a console equal in power as others = more 3rd party support = more hardcore gamers + Zelda, Metroid, Galaxy 3 launch window = hardcores recaptured :D

Great post and someone is probably going to report you for it lol. I've been saying this for longest time. Teenage and adult gamers are eventually going to get tired of Mario, yoshi, Pokemon and the other cartoonish and kiddy games. Nintendo doesn't understand the market has changed. It's not the 80s anymore

the "core" gamer ship has been sailed. let it go. This is a system truly for Ninty fans, doesnt mean that they arent "core" just means you arent getting one unless you are a fan ala GC

Great post.



No single game will ever do that

It is the game system and Nintendo's "focus" that has to shift to doing whatever they can to get "core" gamers, rather than chasing the next-generation of new/casual gamers.

You're right. The average gamer doesn't just want a Nintendo game every 3 months.
The average gamer mostly wants Candy Crush and Angry Birds on their mobile phones.

A true hardcore gamer appreciates gaming in all its beautiful forms and would be proud to have Wii U among their collection. The ones who call Nintendo consoles childish are themselves the childish ones.
