Forums - Gaming - Nintendo May Be Winning, But What They Dont Realise Is, They're Losing!

SNOOB3R on 12 January 2010

Okay, before I get the typical "THIS MAKES NO SENCE" posts, please just hear me out.

It is no doubt that Nintendo may be winning the console war by a great deal (looking at the charts on this sight makes me wanna throw up). I dont like it at all. Now dont get me wrong, I use to love Nintendo, back when the games were hard and challenging and they cared about the hardcore audience. Now lets take a moment to think back to the early 2000's, when the Cube was struggling against Microsoft and Sony. All Nintendo had backing them was the hardcore fans. I use to be one... until I realised Nintendo forgot about us 2 years ago. Wii is honestly an embarrasment to gaming. The only good Wii games I played ware Mario Kart Wii and Super Mario Galaxy. Even Twilight princess was a dissapointment, being just too easy and feeling like it was made for beginners.

What if Nintendo ever got in a position where they needed harcore fans again...? Are there any left? As Nintendo continues to appeal to kids and old people, theyre losing the most important fans they'll ever have- the hardcore.

Whats your view on it?

(newsflash bro) YOU WERE ALWAYS WORTHLESS

Mainstream "PG" audience is where the moneys at.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Galaxy 2- will be great. Other M-Might be good/might not be. But I could care a less about the Zelda title. It will be easy and boring and cater to children like Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracts. People need to realise Nintendo now isnt the same as they were when Ocarina of Time and even Windwaker came out.

Wind Waker has a half-developed mess. Twilight Princess absolutely kicked the shit out of it.

'Sence" isn't even a word for starters. Soooo Nintendo abondoning the hardcore? what does super mario galaxy 2, metroid other m, Zelda wii, a possible kirby wii and many other quality titles for wii this year means to you? Mario kart wii and Mario galaxy the only good games you've played, you sir have missed out on a lot of things.
