Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's worst-case scenario for E3 2009

But the least Nintendo needs right now is to drive away their core fans with ports, new games are always better. But let's just stop, E3 is near.

Ports don't drive away core fans. That is just a fallacy made up along with other gamer fallacies in recent years.

Ports are a sign of support. Note that when the PSP got less support, the ports slowed down as well. The DS still gets ports, though.

Nintendo of course supports the Wii, and ports are just a way of keeping the games coming, no matter what you think.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Articles like this should stay light-hearted, silly, and way out in left field.

Taking stealth jabs at one of the most popular games is not the way to do that.

So you're asking for satire that doesn't mock anything or anyone popular? Rather weird request.

Wow, Nintendo fans need to lighten up.

This article is hilarious.

I find it's just wrong. A Kid Icarus shooter game? That's supposed to be a bad game? That seems awesome.

A Kid Icarus/Ninjabread Man crossover, that would be awful.

Or those Gamecube ports, two of which are highly acclaimed. Try picking games less liked than Luigi's Mansion, such as Charlie's Angels (third party, but in a worst case scenario, Nintendo would be publishing it).

Or a real-time graph channel game for the DS, so you can plug it in and see how Nintendo sales are doing at the moment.

Well, you also thought the Wii version of Dead Rising would be good. So I can't take anything you say seriously.

Ports do not drive core fans away, but because that's not the kind of core gamer I was talking about. I was talking about core Nintendo supporter, loyal Nintendo gamer who has owned most of the games they have released before. I don't remember seeing N64 ports on to the GC, neither Super Nintendo ports to the N64, and then just a few NES to SNES ports but in compilations.

You act as if Nintendo has always been like this, prioritizing ports over new content, when the console is FULLY BC with the GC. Do you have an idea of what you are saying? You talk like you are Mister Know It All and that's why you always get riled up in discussions with everyone. You know you can sometimes be wrong, right? How are last gen ports good support for the loyal Nintendo fans? How is it good support if the console is already able to play those games?

Get used to it, people will not always think the way you do, you either accept that or you will have a lot of troubles in life. Just the same way you always try to lecture people on how wrong they are when they talk about Dead Rising CTYD, like the only opinion that counts is the one you have.

This is why I don't want to discuss with a person that never listens to anyone.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Article fails for saying Mario Party is boring. If you actually have friends in real life, Mario Party is great fun.

The list is kind of unny but far from worst-case-scenario. I'd love new play control Windwaker. Metroid Minigolf could do as a Wiiware/DSiware game. The Dr. Wario thing could be cool, the game would have two versions like Pokemon Red/Blue. If you look at the list optimistically it's far from the worst that could happen.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Wrong. I thought it could be good. It was those insiting it would suck that were having the absolute predictions. Twisting my stance of "wait until the damn game comes out before judging it" into "this game will be good" just shows you weren't paying attention to what I was actually writing. That's like claiming someone speaking out against racism is racist to the racist group the first person is denouncing.

I did not find I thought the game was actually good until after I had a chance to play it, as in keeping true to my stance of waiting until it came out.

So using that as an excuse not to listen to me is a false excuse, since it's pretending I claimed something I didn't.

Last year they said they care about core audience and the annouced Wii Music
