the industry has changed so quickly and so fast that nintendo can't keep up. during the last few generations nintendo has proven they aren't a forward thinking company- they stick to what they know and will drag their feet, stubbornly in the face of change.
Look how long it took for them to embrace the compact disc.
look how long it took them to embrace the online aspect of gaming.
look how long it took them to embrace this new HD era...
''Miyamoto wants his games to be played by everyone ''
not everyone can play childish games. lots of his games are more aimed at children.
you cant please everyone. he should make a game that can be enjoyed by a more mature audience. there is a massive market for that and nintendo isnt exploring it.
that new zelda game in the style of dynasty warriors is going to be just as ill advised as other M was.
im interested to see how mario kart does
lol the wiiu is such a poor effort people dont even buy it to be able to put it in the bin
''Sure there are people that agree with you, but not everyone.''
the vast majority agree with me. the MILLIONS who vote with their wallets by not purchasing a wiiu.
this is a fact, not my view, its fact backed up by figures. dont try to discred me and paint me as a troll simply because i am the bearer of an unfortunate truth.
''how in blazes have you not been banned? This your second account, right?''
...
''I would love to see a full fledged 2D game actually. The notion everything needs to be full of 3D and shaded brown is absolutely ridiculous.''
yes, we all yearn for a fully fledged, truly next gen 2d platform game from nintendo. we are yet to get one. NSMB is not my idea of the dream 2d game we all imagined on future consoles back in the snes days.
those games could be created- rayman comes pretty close! but nintendo insist on leaving out ...
as i pointed out, people want different experiences between their handhelds and consoles.
what is the point in having a graphical powerhouse if you are only going to display primitive games on it that could quite easily be done on a old android phone?
nintendo have got it all twisted. they need to show deep immersive games for wiiu, then people will be interested.
everyone agree with me- hence it goes unsold.
lets be honest. wtf happened to nintendo. this is 2014 and they are pushing games like look like they are from the mid-1990's.
people dont want to play these games. certainly not on a HD console.
nintendo really need to stop trying to pass the wiiu off as a mobile phone or tablet, its clearly neither.
....
''In response to the gamecube supposedly getting good ports, you sir are wrong. There were tons of games with graphical downgrades, cut content, no online ..''
im talking about the resident evil remake and metal gear solid remake.. they were both stand out games. they werent downgraded in any way. and they certainly were not on rail insults.
the gamecube wasnt perfect, but it could at least outdo a ps2 tech wise, so it was at least in the runn...
''I'm not sure how spin-off relates to on rails.''
konami brought a spin off of resident evil to the wii... that crap on rails shooter chronicles.
the developer did the same with dead space. instead of bringing the proper game, they just gave us a crap on rails shooter.
maybe we will get an on rails metal gear game for wii u. will you be happy then? or metal gear: cooking with snake etc etc. crap. we need the big projects...
people are sick and tired of getting spin-offs on nintendo consoles.
we dont want a resident evil on rails shooter, or a dead space on rails shooter, we want the real deal.
likewise, people definitely dont want a 'specially made' (ie inferior scaled down) version of metal gear solid.
such projects should not be encouraged, they do nothing for the console and nothing for the gamer. in fact, its an insult.
its nintendos...
it would have to be gimped to work on wiiu.
just because i am critical doesnt make me a troll.
maybe always being optimistic to the point of being delusional, and not accepting the facts is another form of trolling.
like many people who see the wiiu failing, also see the sales figures but refuse to accept the truth and instead make excuses for it.
that is the same as trolling.
just because you dont like what i say doesnt make me a troll.
my bubbles ...
not even mario kart can save the wiiu
the videos ive seen for it are underwhelming too, so i doubt it will even be highly regarded critically
its a shambles.
i think nintendo have messed up big time with the wiiu.
there must be a big problem right at the top of the company at the moment for the whole project to be without direction as it is now.
throwing well known characters in a game doesnt make it good.
nothing would have helped all stars. it would have helped if they didnt bother making that trash and stop ripping off nintendo's game.
anyway, back on topic- nintendo would be silly to not secure snake again.
''they've created systems designed around said "gimmicks", the other two leap onto the train to try and cash in on it as well. ''
nintendo did it wrong though. as you said, the emphasis is on the gimmick, the actual hardware comes second. so if the gimmick falls flat on its face (as it has done with the wiiu) nintendo havent got the hardware to make the wiiu stand a chance. its just old hat. where-as sony make the peripheral/gimmick an after thou...
