A gigantic achievement. Now Nintendo has experimented with various mobile business models with Mario Run, Fire Emblem, Pokémon Go and Mario Kart Tour. Possibly the most profitable and how profitable mobile compares to its only console.
I think this is the turning point when we will see Nintendo bending more or less towards smartphones. My bet is that it will expand efforts in this segment. It seems to be the safest future for the company.
No shit Sherlock.
Nice. Nintendo games are too expensive anyway.
The problem is the unspoken rules of self-declared gamers. This constant pressure to buy is to play almost every game that comes out. Having to like certain companies and hating others. To comment happily on the thirtieth game of a protected franchise is to complain about the fourth game of the mercenary enterprise. Try to criminalize the mainstream and elitize niches.
If everyone were calmer and more tolerant, there would be no such pressure on time, this feeling of to...
My coworker, who played Snes and N64, is loving mk tour. He said to me that he was thinking to buy a Switch to play Mario Kart and Mario, but with the mobile version he doesn't need to.
They will do anything that makes money. In the 90s they are against violence and sex on their consoles.
Today they put Doom as a highlight and receive all pedo games from japan.
I can understand people who want to believe that a capitalist company love its product and its clientes. It's a reasonably way to deal with the harsh reality about the world we live in.
But it isnt more than faith. The truth is that Nintendo is changing fast and will...
This is just the vision of a fan. As businessmen they seek profit a e only profit. Yamauchi changed Nintendo from a card company, to taxis, to dirty motels to games.
IF being family friendly and loving games was the niche that made money for them, great. But if they found another way to make more money, they absolutelly will change and embrace. This is the Yamauchi legacy, and Iwatas at some extent.
All the fanmade speech is just that, fanmade.
Iwata or Yamauchi before him, whatever. In the end they are businessmen. The first one liked games, the second didn't even play them. If mobile games are making money (it seems to me), their legacy is being very well respected and carried on.
How dare Troy stands in the side of workers? It'll be better without Unions in a free market system. If you don't like the work conditions you are free to starve.
It was nice on DS, but today there are too many free options in Google Play. No need to spend money on this kind of experience.
And those people bought a switch and the same games again.
Thats what i said.
A nice way to sell the same game to the same people twice.
They are nothing killing e3. E3 is dying for some years. The World has changed and e3 is not The focal point of games anymore.
It is like comic con. Maybe the future of e3 is to become a fan fest and not The companies and media showcase.
Nintendo has a free pass. They can do anything they want.
The point is that even today's most "incomplete" games are rich and long (as well as inexpensive) experiences compared a few years ago.
This greed for always wanting more for less (because money loses value and games get bigger) leads to this fractional financing model.
Of course there are abuses, but in the past there were also very expensive and very bad games, but our selective and nostalgic memory filters these kinds of things.
Yeah, I really miss the 90's when I had to pay $69,99 ($128 in today's money) for a copy of Street Fighter II for SNES with a countless total of eight characters.
Or pay $ 100 in today's money for a 4 hour platform game, but I played 100 times because it was the only game I had.
Those that were good and cheap times.
I really don't like this need that to make a criticism of Nintendo you have to make a declaration of love first.
If you dislike or disagree with something just say and present the arguments. Dressing up as a nintendist does not make a truer or false criticism.
Please stop this squeamish with the nintendistas. They need to grow up and this behavior is not helping.
There is a certain romanticism among some gamers that publishers sell games for love and not for money.
What makes a bad publisher? It depends who you ask. For the shareholder is the one that makes the least profits and dividends. For gamers is the one that consensus and memes say it should be.
I don't think so. Most of them would not sleep with you. So it's not that crummy.
You really like me.
