Forums - Nintendo - Does Nintendo often announce controversial games but they end up really good?

Hyrule Warriors is a controversial games, I mean using the treasured Zelda IP in a warriors game could easily have backfired. That game turned out to be fucking superb!

The controverse with Federation Force is that it is a game nobody asked for, at least not before a real one. This is not the same case as Super Mario 3D World. 3D World was still a mainline entry in the 3D Mario universe, while Federation Force is a multiplayer mission based game with a different cast.

I am ashamed to say that I was one of the people who signed the cancellation petition because I wanted Nintendo to know how badly I wanted another proper Metroid Prime and couldn't think of any other way to get the message to them.  I regret signing that petition now because I never had anything against Federation Force.  I'm sure it will probably turn out to be a good game I will be pretty sad if it ends up being cancelled due to fan feedback.

Yes, definitely. On one hand you had people complaining that Nintendo isn't taking proper care of the Zelda IP, on the other hand you had people bullying Nintendo fans for being interested in a Warriors game.

I know, lifes a bitch being a Nintendo fan. Its akin to being schizo.

lol OP... you mean SONY right?

Heavy Rain, Beyond, Until Dawn, MAG, SOCOM4, Planetside, Dust514, Eye of Judgement, Bloodborne, Tokyo Jungle , Warhawk, Starhawk, Sorcery, Entwined, Tearaway


For real? I didn't follow most of those (not much of a Sony gamer, generally) but I remember how hyped Bloodborne and Heavy Rain were before they came out. Bloodborne was by the Dark Souls team so tons of people were frothing that it was GOTY before it even got released.



Happens a lot, although there have been instances where the worry was warranted.

Star Fox Command, Other M, Wii Music, Fortune Street, etc. Nintendo is one of the best in the industry but they are not perfect.

Yep, that seems to happen with Nintendo games with a certain frequency....

Althoug I still think that both Animal Crossing AMiibo PArty and that Metroid multiplayer for the 3ds are not going to please people when they´re out

Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer and Mario Tennis for WiiU seems promising, though

I can't remember any of those being hated. In fact, I've never even heard of some of them. I just checked their review scores, and most of those games were given mediocre scores.

Now watch Federation Force become GoTY.

I'd buy it, even if it weren't.
