Nintendo In 2010: What To Expect

TheGamersHub Writes:
"Nintendo has a tough uphill battle to win back the hardcore gamer, some say its just not possible this generation. I have faith in Nintendo as a long time fan and it being one of the first systems I played as a child. If Nintendo keeps to it's promises and delivers on a new Zelda and Mario they may just have a chance. Lets have a look at what Nintendo might have up its sleeves.
Note: None of this is confirmed unless previously stated and should be taken as rumors. Also, there is no particular ordering."

"hmm this site looks a lot like Gamespot...."
A LOAD of small gamer websites have appeared within the last year with that format.

Unless Nintendo can revive some of it's best franchises (Particularly platformers) from years past, I sure won't be there.

They choose soccor moms and young kids, and that's fine, good for them and their success. It's just sad to see them almost abandon their fans.

Compared to titles like WiiSports, WiiFit, WiiMusic, WiiPlay, there are WAAAAY more titles Nintendo has made for their (real) old-school fans.

The only people who have been abandoned are the graphics hounds and blood-lusters that started gaming on the ps1, ps2, n64 ,gc.

Not really fans in my book. 7_7

[ShadyDevil]

[fatstarr]

well we can all trueley say nintendo is brewing something and hiding alot of things up their sleeves.

The "hardcore gamer" Wii seems to be doing quite well without yall.

[ChickeyCantor]

No they disagree, so therefor you are false.

I getting tired of hearing so call Nintendo fans saying that Nintendo abandoned them. I get that you are the consumer so they should want 2 put out games you want 2 play. Seriously though where were these loyalists last Gen. Nintendo only sold about 20m gamecubes despite having one of the better consoles for graphics. Better than the PS2 which won the Gen by a landslide. Now all I hear is so called Nintendo fans saying that Nintendo don't care about them. SO SAD!

[ChickeyCantor]

The problem is how the majority are like sheep.
Once you are set into this perspective you will pretend its real.

I see more people complain then actual hardware units sell last generation. Its not sad, its pathetic.

If people were to focus on the shovelware on the Ps2 more than the actual good games, you would have the same effect.
Most people think there is only cooking mama or carnival games.Its stupid really.

I'm glad these suckers are gone. We never needed these cry babies. Let ms and Sony sheep them out of their money with fake scores and " marketing". What is funny is hardcore gamers never needed review scores to know if some thing was good. You are suppose to rent the game first then buy it unless you know your going to like it.

I hope they never come back to real console gaming. I hope they all go to
pc gaming. They don't even support the good games on their own platform.

On top of it all they keep raving over tech that is at least 10 years old yet they can't be bother with the wii because they didn't know what a good HDTV looks like. The best way to show if your hd tv sucks is to hook a wii up to it.

Hd only gamers are as lame as you can get right now.

2010 is looking great for the Wii
It will probably get the most playtime from me by the end of 2010
TsVSCap, Red Steel 2, Other M, MH3, NMH 2, Zelda Wii(if they release it), Galaxy 2, the Grinder and much more.

Big N is and always has catered to their true fans,the ones who knew what kind of games they made, not the ones who jumped on with the N64 and Gamecube. Last I checked Nintendo was always the Otaku heaven and kid friendly console, and most of us Wii owners are Otaku. For those who are too lazy to google, that means we love the japanesey stuff that usually run you guys off. Pokemon? love it! Opoona? Love it! Dokapon Kingdom? Love it! Fragile? Pretty sure I'll love it! Sin and punishment 2? can't wait Tales of Graces? Overly excited. Arc Rise Fantasia? Nerdgasm.. Monster Hunter Tri? Crack cocaine in wii disc form.
I don't know bout you, but me and my Nintendo buddies don't feel abandoned at all.
