Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why Nintendo doesn't deserve to be on top

^^ just because the character is old doesn't mean it isn't original. i don't think any other game played the way mario galaxy did, with planetary gravity and pointer use with a shooting element tossed in as well, not to mention the music which was certainly original :/

i'm only replying to your "serious answer", most of the others were clearly jokes (har har).

Nintendo has focused almost exclusively on new gamers, young and old.
- Yes that's why we have SMG, VC, Brawl, MK wii, TP, and a multitude of hardcore games coming out.

Lies! MK Wii even has "Wii" in the name, it has to be casual!

Nintendo sells pure expensive nongaming stuff on you like wiisports.
-Wii sports was free ;)

That's because it was made by Oompa Loompas who worked 20 hours a day for below minimum wage. I hope you're happy.

Nintendo keeps development costs at a reasonable level and makes around 100$ pure profit on every wii sold, which it uses to fund the production of more Mii games.
-No link no proof.

There you go.

Nintendo's first party games pushed hardware sales to an unprecedented rate, and then caused the first drop in YoY sales in the past 4 years.
-What?

Come on, that isn't even a reply!


Nintendo has the greatest customer service only because of the fact that you could have bought 2.3 wiis at wholesale.
-What...?

You should avoid ellipses in favour of colons and fullstops.

Nintendo makes the most durable consoles. It is insanely dustproof. I tried to slowly strangle my wii for a year before I finally had some nice people take it away. It's so annoying when a console can't take a hint.
-That doesn't have anything to do with anything.

Who are you to decide that?

Nintendo hasn't come out with a high budget original game since the gamecube. What happened? NES and SNES introduced so many awesome characters and franchises, and now that's all gone. It would be as if Disney had Mickey playing the lead in "Pirates of the Caribbean", Goofy costarring with Belle as the titular "Beast" in "Beauty and the", and Donald as the "Lion King".
-SMG

(Warning: Serious answer) How on earth is SMG "original"? It uses Nintendo's oldest character, and it's essentially a sequel to a 12 year old game. It may be brilliant, but it's not an original game.


"Nintendo's official seal of quality" is now just "Nintendo official seal"
-Who the hell cares.

There's no quality guarantee any more.

Nintendo has released 2 wii fits and 3 wii sports entries and barely 5 classic franchise entries, Super mario galaxy, punch out wii, zelda, super smash brothers brawl, and metroid prime 3.
-And MK wii, theyre also coming out with more. Also, people like you also complain that nintendo won't make new franchises yet whine when they do.

When does Ninty ever make new franchises? Excluding the "Wii" franchise.

Lack of interest in multiplayer. Seriously, what gives?
-MK wii.

One game? Compared to how many on the other consoles?


Apple form factor. By far the worst trend in electronics is the use of a white minimal design for casing.
-Really...?


YA RLY!


Nintendo seriously underestimated how well the console would do among the expanded audience. Generally, selling a console for profit is done to ensure that costs are maintained and recoverable should the system see hard times. Nintendo expected hard times, hence why they made 70-100$ on the wii in America at launch. Instead, they could have upped the GPU and processor for 20-30$ more and made the best system of all time. One that could rival the graphic quality of the 360 or ps3. Of course, Nintendo isn't in the business of making the best home gaming console of all time, business is about money.
-Not even sure what you're complaining about here.

He's complaining for the sake of complaining. It's what the internet is for.

 

I'm going to reply because I'm also bored.

I colored it in because I was bored

Not only that, but the OP clearly said that Nintendo just puts "Mario and friends" in different scenarios and gamestyles, in mucht eh same way Disney would have done if they only used "Mickey and friends" forever.

Big budget? . . . . . . . . . check

Original? . . . . . . . . . . . . check

i don't see what's wrong here. And besides, I'd rather have an old and beloved character star in an orignal new game than some new character star in a comepletely un-original game.



You don't my point.

Mario games are games that Nintendo thinks won't sell unless they have mario and friends in it.

Like Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine. Games that could have been completely original, with an emphasis on the word "completely".
Super sluggers/strikers. Why can't they invent new characters anymore?

^^ I see what you mean, but mario galaxy IS original.

if by original games you meant inventing new characters you should have said so.

i still think it's your own fault for not making this "joke thread" funny enough the discussion is getting too serious and un-funny lol

The thing about Nintendo not making new franchises ties into that, and it is true that Ninty doesn't put much effort into online, and one game doesn't change that.

@miz
it's not my fault people are responding seriously to it.
If they are going to respond seriously, then I'll respond likewise.
It's not a complete joke, it's tongue in cheek. I'm bashing it, but I really don't care. Nintendo is a great company.



nintendo not making new franchiese? Maybe beacause the new ones don't get much attention....



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
