Well I for one wouldn't want them to announce another Zelda so soon after Skyward Sword just released last year. Let the creative minds at EAD have some play time with the new hardware first! I actually would like Nintendo to take more of the new IP approach at the beginning of the WiiU's life cycle and then close with the tried and true franchises.

Agreed, new or revived IPs should come first.

Although, just because Skyward Sword was worth the wait doesn't mean it takes 5-6 years to make a great Zelda title. Majora's Mask was a masterpiece, and was released only 2 years after Ocarina of Time.

Well those HD tech demos really make me want to hear something. I don't want this to be another FF 7 HD demo. But I would love to see some older IPs brought back.

GenHero4287d ago

i want to know what Retro and Monolith Soft are working on.

rnmartinez4286d ago

We all do! I know this is a longshot but I would love to see a 1080p sequel to Disaster.

i just want them to spill the info on everything thats unanswered.. Theyve been dancing around ppls questions since they unveiled this thing.. Answer your fans & make this system attractive to ppl who think its a joke.. They already showed us the asymmetrical & casual capabilities so now show us what developers are bringing that cant be found elsewhere..

rnmartinez4286d ago

They definitely need to bring us some good info. Pre-E3 they had me ready to pay any price for this thing. Now, I'm not nearly as excited. Be sure to check out my site for some of my Nintendo opinions.

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX20h ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H917h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro15h ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos21h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris17h ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
