Forums - Nintendo - What a fool I was with Nintendo...

Sorry I'm tired so my comprehension skills aren't very good atm. Are you happy or unhappy with Nintendo this holiday?

The wallet bit confused me. Are you happy you won't be buying anything so your wallet is saved? Or are you sad you'll be buying everything so your wallet is fucked?

I'm buying a Nes mini, SMRun and some 3DS games like SMT IV, DQVII and maybe even Pokemon.

 

Of course I'm mad at them.

Pokemon Go + Super Mario Run... Looks like Nintendo is in for its best year since the WiiU launched

I... I don't know how to respond to that. Outside of the last E3, these two games have more exposure to mainstreams than the entire Wii U library.

Main stream exposure is a free brand advertisement, so that would be good for Nintendo.

Yep. That id a very good move. I still can't believe Miyamoto was at the Apple conference. Very nice.

The key point is which platform.

The platforms aren't really key. The key part is that it proves there are plenty of people out there who would buy Nintendo games but don't want to buy their hardware, something us 'Nintendo should go 3rd party' guys have been saying for a long time...

Of course is a key point. Smartphones have a bigger installbase than any other gaming platform could dream. On top of that, it is way more accesible to mainstreams.

 

If those mainstream people are not willing to buy a Nintendo platform, why would they prefer to buy another one from a different brand?

I laughed so much that I question if I am sane.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Windows PCs say 'hi'

Plus there's a mainstream audience that already have non-Nintendo gaming platforms. FIFA, COD, Madden etc all sell to a decently large mainstream audience.

Regardless, it still proves that Nintendo going 3rd party isn't 'delusional'. I don't think there's anybody that actually wants Nintendo to go mobile only as a 3rd party, but it seems like it could work so...

Oh yes, PC is another platform I consider for Nintendo going third party. PC and Smartphones are a good match.

 

In fact, it won't surprise me if in the future Nintendo decides to move to a PC service like Steam.

Ok sorry for the miss understanding.

a free to play Pokemon game being a massive success really isnt proof that Nintendo's $40-60 games will do significantly better on other consoles.

Mario's going to be interesting because it isn't fully free, just free to start (as Iwata used to say), then you have to pay for the full game. 

If that's a success it will show at least on iOS there is a big market for Nintendo IP, even at a price. 



October left open? No idea what that could be.... o:

But the new announcements don't interest me, unfortunately and fortunately :/
