Feature: Retro Console Launches - NES

For Wii U, a lot of its launch publicity and reputation will live or die by the internet, but as it gets closer we’ll no doubt see TV adverts and conventional marketing enter the fray. Of course, before internet the gaming scene, and its community, was very different. Nintendo Life takes a look at the Nintendo Entertainment System, specifically, and shares a few examples of how keen gamers learned about an exciting new console back in the mid-late 1980s.

Ah the NES, those were the good old days. Back when Ninnty just focused on the games. Now it's all gimmicks it seems like.

eagle215159d ago

I've loved Nintendo since the NES and you have to actually play the games to speak about then and now. So many naysayers speak about Nintendo but the last games they played were in the 90's. There have been many awesome games since. (i'm not saying you just in general)

ApolloAdams5159d ago

Explain to me how Nintendo is all about gimmicks and not about the games?

homer5159d ago

I think the success of the wii and the success of their competitor's motion controllers have shown that motion controls(if that is what you are referring to) are anything but a gimmick and has shown that in some genres, they may just be the optimal controller scheme.

They are only called gimmicks until they are copied by the opposition...

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi125d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer126d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot126d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno126d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay126d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno124d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK125d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
