"In a recent interview with Dianne Segovia, the manager of marketing for Nintendo of Latin America, Segovia was asked about why Xenoblade Chronicles X lacks a large marketing push," -- Nintendo Enthusiast.
With Chronicles finished, it's time to return to the mechs and mysteries of Mira
Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.
I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing
"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"
I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.
It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.
I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.
I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
Well in all fairness, they are interviewing the marketing manager of Latin America. I can't imagine there is a ton of marketing driven into that area period just simply due to the install base in that territory.
Hmm. I think this makes sense, in a way - they're going to rely on reviews and word-of-mouth. If reviews are high enough, it'll hit bigger outlets that gamers see and visit. If it's talked about a lot, you'll see streamers jumping on board.
But a game like this isn't easy to convey in mass marketing to gamers who aren't big JRPG fans already. They'll need outside assurance, such as reviews and testimonials from friends, in order to assure that this thing is worth playing almost *despite* the art style.
Lacks substantial marketing?
I haven't seen any advertisements for any Nintendo products anywhere since 2008 or so.
That's just the Latin America branch, though; what about the lack of wide-spread media advertisement out here in other parts of the USA?
Nintendo's weakest point is marketing; it's why the Wii U wasn't named something else, it's why the system doesn't look different enough from the Wii outside of the controller, and in turn it caused them to be unable to explain the appeal of the system appropriately.
That on top of many great games not getting the marketing they need or deserve.
If Nintendo wants to move forward and grab a larger market share with the NX, the very first thing they need to do is HIRE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MARKET APPROPRIATELY IN THE STATES.
Splatoon's marketing was excellent; they need to do more of that for more of their games, if they hope to see the NX launch well, let alone give the Wii U's last two years on the market a better-than-average send-off.
Makes perfect sense. After all, RPG fans are born knowing exactly what an RPG is and how to play one; they have a natural instinct to go online to look for these games. No one ever just stumbled onto an RPG and found out that they love it. And it's not as if Wii U owners want mature, fantastic open-world games or anything.
I mean, it's not as if any other RPGs have ever been widely promoted, done fantastically well and sold massive amounts of games, getting tons of fans, this gen or any other. I mean, ignoring Skyrim, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy VII, Fable, even Zelda... it hardly ever works, really.
