Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Top 10 Things Nintendo should do to become number 1 again

Read and cry or laugh.

I choose laugh!

 

To save folks the time, a quick summary:

10) Miis are stupid. Nobody likes Miis, because they're lame. Avatars are totally cool, though.

9) New technology sucks. No one likes motion controls, or touch screens. Do what I'm telling you to do, and stick with the traditional controllers, like Sony Microsoft Sega(?).

8) Easy games are easy! Give me hard stuff, like that Castlevania game. Man, it'd be great if there were Castlevania games on Nintendo systems nowadays...

7) Ports are bad! No more ports! You don't see XBLA Classics, for instance, or downloadable PlayStation games. Have some dignity Nintendo, no one likes to pay for old stuff.

6) Exclusives are awesome, and Nintendo doesn't have them. Why can't they be more like the PS3 and 360? They totally have third-party exclusives up the wazoo and stuff.

5) You shouldn't let third parties make Wii games for you anymore. (Yes, they're really in this order).

4) Give us moar of your classic franchises. Your new stuff sucks. I want you to bring back your old series. Like Viewtiful Joe. That was my favorite Nintendo game ever, so much so that I know who the developer was.

3) Waah! Friend Codes suck! I don't wanna make friends in RL!

2) Casuals suck. why doesn't daddy luv me anymore...

1) Listen to your fanbase, by which I mean me. Pandering exclusively to us totally paid off in the GameCube era. Remember how you rose to heaven on our wings, and we totally didn't laugh at you, or call you kiddy back then? Yeah, those were good times...And now you think you're all special and stuff, just because people are buying your products in droves. If you'd just listened to me, you totally wouldn't still be sold out. Stupid Nintendo.

WHY WON'T YOU RETURN MY CALLS NINTENDO!!!!???

Thanks for saving me the time I was going to spend replying.

Nintendo is destroying the industry!

When PS60 get price cut, Wii is through.

 
Wii Fit!!????

Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore!

When this game comes out, THEN the PS360 will take off!

Nintendo not serious about online.

Wii is just a party machine.

Wii sells because it is cheap.

 
Pachter says…

Nintendo milks profit due to inferior hardware!

Gamecube started well at first too…

 
Wii is a fad!

 
FREE

 
LOL minigames!!1!

PS3 is on a ten year plan.

Wii is two Gamecube systems put together by duct tape!

 
Argh!!! Non-games!!!1!!!

 
Wii-mote is a gimmick.

 
Stupid casual gamers!

Only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo systems.

When HD adoption rate goes up, Wii is finished.

Who cares about Wii sales? All the real games are on PS60!


Where are the third parties? LOL!


VC is overpriced rom dump!

What happens when people get bored of Wii Sports?

All but #3 seem like jokes. Number is #1 and #2. Nintendo rules the non-PC industry. Nintendo does whatever it wants and consumers usually respond by buying whatever Nintendo puts out. No gaming company has even come close to doing as well as Nintendo is doing right now.

I must say good job at summarizing the article noname.



Are we sure this isn't a joke article? Well, I should say intentional joke, because the article itself is a joke regardless of the author's intentions.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Even as a Playstation family fan boy, it would seem to me that having the Wii being the top-selling console in the world and the DS the top selling handheld in the world, kind of puts Nintendo at #1 again.

     Now to stay #1 they are going to have to bring out good games. Not having an E3 next year that seems like a disappointment to many people would be a step in the right direction. And I know there are a ton of you that will disagree with this statement, but at the moment Wii Music is looking like it is going to have a hard enough time reaching a million copies sold let alone equalling the successes of Mario Kart Wii, Wii Play, Wii Sports and Wii Fit.   Really the only way that they are going to move many Wii Music's at this point in time is if they include it as the pack-in with the system.  And Wii Music was thought by the Nintendo execs to be their big game of E3.  I'm not sure if Nintendo's other big title Animal Crossing resonated much more with the fans either.  I'm sure it will sell to the series past fans but as far as being a title that will bring new owners to the Wii, I don't know.  I don't think Animal Crossing is as popular as Mario, Metroid, or Zelda, and equally it doesn't seem like the type of game that will attract new people in the fashion that Wii Fit or Wii Sports did.  Actually judging by the DS sales of Animal Crossing:  Wild World, then one would expect the Wii game to do well.  

 

     Wii Sports Resort looked fun.

 

     So Nintendo will need more strong games in traditional gaming genres to really have an excellent run throughout the rest of the generation.  This year their E3 showing kind of made them seem like the hare in the race between the tortoise and the hare after he decides to take a nap.  I don't think it was intentional, but Wii Music selling only in the 20,000-25,000 range in its third week in Japan is far from the success of past Wii games.  Wii Fit, for example, sold over 125,000 copies in its third week of release in Japan.

 



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

Paul_Warren not trolling a Nintendo thread?  The world is ending.

 



Pixel Art can be fun.
