Some gamers have been complaining about the number of Nintendo titles that have been released over the past few years. However, the company has now responded to those who have said that their output of titles has been low as of late.

“Until now there have been complaints that Nintendo makes too many games or Nintendo dictates too much leadership. Complaining that Nintendo makes too few games is a first, isn’t it?” - Nintendo of Japan PR

mystery solved, nintendo is still making games but are holding them back  because people complaining they controlled software too much. the PR guy sounds pretty annoyed at the complainers

i love the irony of that kotaku artivle

nintendo: please stop complainging about things


comments:I wouldn't care in the slightest if they hadn't gotten into the trend of gimping their greatest franchises:

Zelda Twilight Princess (New casual fanbase was prioritized over the loyal fans. Game unnecessarily delayed & the only Wii version of the game is now the non-canon mirrored version. Screw that)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (slowness, tripping, floatiness, waste of tons disk space on demos and lame features; I mean what happened?)
Mario Kart (don't even get me started)

It takes a long time to create a good game. But I bet Nintendo will announce at least 5 of there AAA titles including a new franchise.

Kotaku has a particularly grouchy breed of commenters.

But as it is, we know these teams have to be working on something, for the mere fact that these teams haven't been disbanded. The issue is that we don't know what, part of Nintendo's maddening new strategy of secrecy, secrecy whose purpose seems to be to combat the negative side-effects of hype (that being, if they don't know what the game is, they can't harbor false expectations about the game, and if a development change is made, no backlash). The fact is that we know their top teams are doing something, but not what, and that, aside from their weak lineups in Q3/Q4 last year and Q1/Q2 this year, helps foster the idea of abandonment. There is one top-tier first-party game on the horizon, and it's a casual game: Wii Sports Resort. (Punch-Out!!'s status could be considered questionable by the "gaming media")

Sony escapes a similar fate by revealing these projects so far ahead. Sure, the only thing Sony's putting out in the near future is inFamous, but we know about the Q4 dynamo of Uncharted 2, and we know that God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 will land sometime before March next year, as will MAG. Knowledge of such titles keeps Sony out of the same problem Nintendo is in, where the future is constantly in doubt.

Are you serious? Like, I'm hoping I'm misunderstanding this post because you just said they're "gimping" those games?

Twilight Princess was by far from gimped. It was a long game with a bunch of extras. I'm glad it was delayed for the Wii too. Your arguments for Brawl being gimped are so invalid I won't even comment and Mario Kart Wii is by far the best addition to the franchise.

Woopah quoted the first comment in the Kotaku article. Those aren't his opinions

you gota be kidding me. TP was a great game, had a great length and a bunch of extras. it was delayed for a good reason.

and your saying that brawl is bad because they made it FAIR? they took out all the unessacery glitches so that anyone could enjoy it. thank god, that was the one reason i really disliked melee

Saw it on GoNintendo.

a miss leading title p[lease lock this thread, its waiting good vgc bandwidth

It does seem hilarious.

Nintendo is either dominating software and not giving 3rd parties a chance or their being lazy and not releasing enough software - according to fanboys.
