Anyone with a basic understanding of today's gaming scene could have made better calls than Nintendo have this generation.

The company is run by suits who not only have no idea what a console gamer in 2012-2016 wants, but show no willingness to even learn.

That's it though you yourself don't have basic understanding to begin with dude keep your ego in check here forget Nintendo you need to show a willingness to know when the criticism is being stupid, the's being critical and then the's being ott and you and Sound fall into the latter, it's a stupid claim to make in regards to any company. Nintendo still have in total over 70m units of hardware sold with profit being made on each of them so they know a lot more on sustaining themselve even when things don't go to plan then you who's commentating from a forum.

When has Nintendo ever shown any sign that they understand their mistakes and are willing to change? Their alienation of the gaming mainstream continues.  The bad PR continues. Pretty much every problem that caused the Wii U's failure continues with no sign that they even recognize where they went wrong.

There are already signs that Nintendo is changing. Take your repeated complaints about software droughts, for example. The little that is known about NX is that Nintendo will try to combine as much of their development force as possible to provide both a home console and a handheld with a steadier flow of first party software.

And if that does come to pass, I'll be the first to admit that it's a great move on their part to address the software issue. But I'll need to see signs of actual change, not the same vague promises that they gave us back in 2012 about how "we are working to ensure Wii U won't suffer from game droughts".

If Nintendo knew what they were doing they wouldn't be suffering through both their worst selling console and worst selling handheld.

Yet they have 70m+ units sold with profit so they know more then you posting on a forum does regardless even when they make mistakes they'd still know more about the markets then you and Sound put together.

You're just a spectator to the industry watching from the stands at best, it's like saying you can get in the ring and fight Klitscho better then anyone he's beaten because some of them made mistakes.

You don't even need to be especially smart or informed to make better calls than 8th gen Nintendo, you just need to not be an out of touch suit with your head in the sand.

Understandable, but the promises in regards to the Wii U software flow should have never been believed to begin with. At the time Nintendo was already behind with their 3DS games (meaning that to complete them somewhat in time they had to use Wii U resources), so the problem shifted from one platform to the other.

By now you should know that Nintendo won't give out any big news until they unveil NX, so posting the same rants every month doesn't do anyone a favor. It's clear that we'll have to wait until Nintendo makes more concrete announcements for what they have in the works. And it should be clear that they have quite a lot in the works when you look at the release schedules for the Wii U and 3DS. Most of Nintendo's inhouse teams have been working on next gen projects for a while.

Yeah, you're right about that, it is unproductive.

Again they know more then what both of you do, I don't care about your recent dislike for them but you are pushing bs with this one, only thing out of touch here is you for believing what you post. You have no idea where to even begin how to run a company and instead you're like everyone else on a forum spectating and speculating on moves that might have worked so again stop, no one on this forum can run Nintendo, Sony, MS, Sega, Atari or even Blackberry better.

Nintendo wouldn't be in this mess if I was in charge, but I'm not exactly patting myself on the back, anyone with a lick of common sense probably could've avoided some of the pitfalls they've fallen into the last few years. 

 

Dude stop, there is a reason you are posting in a video game forum and not the head of a multi million corporation.

He's right though. 

Nintendo's decision making over the last five years has been so utterly terrible that your average forum going gamer probably could have done a better job. For one thing, we're not as completely out of touch with today's gaming market as Nintendo seems to be.

 

Pretty much this

Nintendo seems to enjoy living in the past and ignoring new tech, It's kinda sad. I've always supported them until this giant mess called Wii U,  so I moved on to my first PlayStation ever and I couldn't be happier

They've never had to acknowledge new tech because their same old approach has given them consistent billion dollar profits until this gen.  We can only hope that the revelation that their old methods of lateral thinking and purposefully ignoring industry standards because they didn't innovate them won't work anymore.

Yeah, cos it takes some special intellectual superpowers to keep your consumers in communication blackouts, to constantly delay key software, to aggressively avoid making the software gamers want...

the 3ds still has games like fire emblem and dragon quest

and the 3ds would be selling better if nintendo knew what they doing

like last years lineup

gave us niche games like yokai watch code name steam and fossil fighters

remasters like etrain odyssesy 2 and mojoras mask and monster hunter4g

more spinoffs that noone wanted like triforce heroes happy home designer and super mystery dungeon witch is even worse that gates to infinity 

thats one reason the 3ds declined because it had no games like f zero kid icarus uprising sequel and earthbound reboot and duck hunt reboot
