Nintend’oh

GamingLives takes a look at the innovation behind Nintendo, and whether they always hit the mark:

"Let me start by saying one thing: I was, and to some degree still am, a huge Nintendo fan. I grew up surrounded by a Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Super Game Boy, N64, Gamecube and even a DS and a Wii. I thrived on the adventures of Mario, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Kirby, Link, Samus, Yoshi and the rest of the colourful cast of characters under the huge red umbrella marked N. But... my love affair would always end the same. My SNES was accompanied by a Mega Drive, my N64 became a Playstation, Gamecube a Playstation 2 and my DS and Wii combined to finance an Xbox 360"

The 3ds is number 1 worldwide dude.

Nobody moved more hardware or software than nintendo did in 2011.

In 2012.

Same thing

The 3ds is kickign everyones ass

Colwyn5214d ago (Edited 5214d ago )

wow, im hoping playing sales number satisfies you mate. i wonder how much money you made from nintendo last year?

ps vita launched with more games than the 3ds has garnered in a whole year of being released and the system is amazing. most ps vita gamers will prefer the vita if they also own a 3ds and even if they are more of a fan of nintendo and the 3ds, the vita will win them over when they come to the realization that the 3ds is a shoddy hardware. being the successor of the popular ds, nintendo should have done more on the 3ds. nintendo doesnt care about core gamers when you look at their track record for the pass few years and they are catering more to casual gamers instead of the core that kept them afloat. i could never understand people hating to play games that are geared towards their liking instead of being forced to play games that are meant to be played by casuals.

i remember 3ds fan saying that 2 circle pads arent needed and that the resistive touch screen is better than the second circle pad (spin spin spin).

i remember one nintendo fanatic tried to convince me that nintendo has a feature that will have a satellite beem wifi signal to any user no matter where they are and that the ps vita 3g is crap,lol.

i dont care who posts number losses because im a gamer and only benefit from the company supplying new games on a proper system. fanatics will tout rubbish like bad motion controls and buy them up in droves but soon will stop playing them because they are bad. kinect, wiimote, move are all rubbish and in the end the core gamers will come back to more accurate playing devices such as traditional controllers.

Knight_Cid5214d ago

if you actually knew anything about business, 1 year of bad numbers every now and then is quite normal. Hell microsoft and sony have had decades of that

They will be profitable this year. Especially since they always sell the most software and the most hardware

last week? 3ds number 1 worldwide again. It really isnt even fair. Even before the redesign, its smoking everything. The original ds never did that

1) The psp vita did not launch with more games than the 3ds has over the entire year. Stop being a smart ass troll

Does the vita have monster hunter? layton? rocket slime? kingdom hearts? rune factory? etrian? fire emblem? resident evil? mario?

REAL 100 percent BS with all past titles?

No?

didnt think so

go back under the bridge

axisofweevils5214d ago

What a trolling post.

This is Nintendo's first loss for 30 years. Loads of companies would love to be in their position.

The PS Vita launched with 30 games. The 3DS has far more than that, otherwise how could my Nintendo magazine have a "Top 50 3DS games" column?

And of course PS VITA owners would like the console more than the 3DS. They're Sony fanboys who rushed out and bought the system day one.

Finally, 2 circle pads aren't needed on the 3DS. I've happily gamed on the 3DS all year with only one circle pad.

MultiConsoleGamer5214d ago

"Let me start by saying one thing: I was, and to some degree still am, a huge Nintendo fan..."

Fanboy's and haters always start their rants this way.

"Let me just say this first I am a huge fan of COMPANY X, but they also suck and they're bad and the company is run by big mean doodie heads!"

No matter what the stipulations are in the world of elite gaming. Nintendo Always hits its mark when truely innovating the videogame landscape. For as long as most gamers can remember Nintendo has been the company to treat new waters and show the competition how to move forward.

Nintendo has successfully revolutionized the way we play videogames with motion controls as of late. Now they will take it to the next level with a tablet style screen controller. Which will shake the very foundation of the videogame universe yet again.

Reasons like that is why elite gamers worldwide always put their trust into Nintendo. With the greatest tech and most exclusives in the business today. They can do absolutely no wrong. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys the AAA Nintendo exclusives available to us all.

Rated E For Everyone

Smashbro295214d ago

Motion controls don't add crap to games. They kinda blew it with the Wii. It's really just a gimmick.

gamernova5214d ago

That rated e for everyone crap is stupid and annoying. Elite gamers are pc gamers anyway. :P

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.

PRIMORDUS66d ago (Edited 66d 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.

0hMyGandhi91d 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.

AuraAbjure91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer92d 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.

-Foxtrot92d 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_Box91d ago (Edited 91d 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

Inverno92d ago

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

Eonjay92d 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.

Inverno90d 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.

Killer2020UK91d 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 🤷‍♂️
