Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo has turn its back on core gamers

Oh Christ, here we go again: the eleventy-billionth thread on the Internet about how Nintendo smothers their newfound love, Joe Casual, with attention, gifts and affection while simultaneously urinating on the fevered brow of their one-time, jilted, lover John C. Hardcore. Is anybody else tired of this particular soap opera yet?

 

No, not really.

But if you decide that you're feeling a little peckish while you watch the show, might I interest you in some of my Nerd Rage™ brand popcorn? Just lean back and relax while people throw spastic fits over things which are really quite trivial. It's like they're getting so angry that you don't have to.

@Hyperion: How do you know they are making this games? That's what we thought before E3, still no one even remotely hinted at anything.

They could have at least named a few games, that doesn't hurt anyone. Or even future projects they will some day release.

Its not even funny, they showed 3 games and none of them for the core audience. Dont you think the true Nintendo fans deserved something more?
I think we did.

Anyways theres no point arguing here with almost anyone since Nintendo is God, so it can't be critiziced.

Funny coming from you, I have always stated what I thought about Nintendo and I was always criticising Nintendo when I really thought they deserved it (unlike you). Still I think you are a moron to believe there are no good (core) games coming any more, Especially since last year.

 



I didn't expect Zelda, but i thought for sure there would be something on Disaster and Fatal Frame. I am now kinda worried that Fatal Frame won't see a western release considering it comes out in a week and a half in Japan and the plan for Nintendo was to unveil the rest of 2008



@Sleepwalking: I wasnt talking directly to you. If you felt it was a personal attack Im sorry, but there's no need to insult me. Just learn to accept people got different opinions than you.

Why were Project Hammer and DDoC halted all of a sudden? Nintendo is shifting resources to the casual market. Give me proof those games are coming and I wont bother anyone anymore. I know they will come some day, but I cant understand Nintendo's policy at the moment.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

All Nintendo had to do was show one title aimed at core gamers, just one. A trailer for (the currently hypothetical) Kid Icarus or something of Fire Emblem DS, but no, they gave nothing. Just a (the mario and zelda teams are working on something) line from iwata, that mario game is likely to be another shitty spin-off. Nothing about the VC, nothing about storage. If Nintendo actually do bother with core gamers they would've shown something or made more than a casual sentence with no grounding. Hell, just a 'Kid Icarus is coming later this year' sentence would've been fine. The fact they cant even manage a simple sentence shows they no longer care about the core gamer or their loyal fans.

Mmm, I do love me some popcorn, and that is a winning slogan if there ever was one (and I even trademarked it for you ).

Save the industry,Kill a Hardcore gamer

Stopped buying Ubisoft games.Will not buy Red Steel 2.Let them struggle on HD. Click here for a solution:CLICK
ALERT: I have also exposed a UBI'Z'OFT viral marketer in THIS thread.Read my posts, see the set up and watch how everything crumbles on page 8. Please learn from this experience.

Who said there will be no more core games for the Wii? I just think having 3 a year is not going to cut it for me.



Do people here buy that many games? If I did, I'd have my pockets empty! I got over Ninty's E3... Sure I'm still disappointed but there's still 3rd parties and Ninty will probably show new stuff later this year.

I think you're either being over dramatic or a PS3 fanboy in disguise.

Wow, is this Trestres coming down on the Wii and Nintendo? I thought I would never see the day! :)

Everyone here that says Nintendo did anything but ignore the issues its core audience has with the system (like lack of core games this second half of the year, or a storage solution, or a revamped online) and instead just pandered to their casual market is delusional. They didnt even announce production increases.

This could go down as the second worst E3 for a company outside of Sony's first with the PS3 announcment. Talk about in my opinion at least, feeling you are too good and too powerful to care anymore.

Of course, I see most Nintendo users like Apple users, they take what is crapped on them and just love the company more for it. Anyone seen the huge backlash for them bricking nearly every old iPhone with the new firmware? Yeah, me either.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
