Bill Cosby once said that he didn’t really know what the key to success was, but that “the key to failure is trying to please everyone.” While there are dozens of variations of the quote from throughout time, the point of the argument is that one cannot stretch themselves to accommodate everyone. The world is simply too diverse to have an exact pattern that appeals to everyone.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
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
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
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
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
Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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."
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.
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.
I tend to agree. Wii caught lightning in a bottle. It's not easy to do. Clearly 3DS isn't doing it. Not sure Project Cafe will either. That's not to say that Project Cafe can't do well, but Wii type success seems unlikely to me.
I agree. Believing that Nintendo can pull another Wii off is overly optimistic.
I think the device has some potential to woo HD gamers in, but I don't think it'll have the same appeal to the Blue Ocean, this time around.
The Wii was a great kids console -- cheap to leave on standby, reliable, the controllers are easy to use and sturdy, the console was the cheapest of the 3 current gen.. good stuff.
Throw a tactile-feedback LCD touchscreen on the controller (now the controller needs constant charging, which is painful with kids, who are pretty impatient and not very good at planning their gaming time, or managing the charge on their controller), make it priced the same or more than a HD console... Nintendo just disposed of a large portion of the audience they spent the past 5 years capturing.
I thought, for sure, the Wii will remain in production after the Cafe comes out, to keep a hold on the Blue Ocean, but... well the price has gotten pretty low, which is suspicious.
well i think nintendo roped in alot of new fans with the Wii. i bet more than a few housewives will buy the new nintendo.
these same people said the wii wouldnt be successful
analysts and knowledge. Dont belong together
In fact I am going through an old egm issue. feb 2005 issue 188. The question was asked of the ds.
What do you think of it so far? ( At this point it had an entire holiday plus january of time)
A: "hmm, can you say virtual boy 2? The ds seems gimmicky to me. Its just akward to use and The launch games are so weak. I have a feeling that hardly any game makers will invent novel uses for the system
A: "The launch titles are dissapointing" "It seems the system is 80 percent old news"
Looking back how silly does shoe sound? Because this is the same guy in the article
The point is. How does he know anything before release, 1 month after release, 2 months after release, 5 months after release, 1 year after release, 2 years after release, 3 years after?
Its all talking out of the anus.
The end result , total system sales, total system unit sold, amount of exclusive games at the end
thats what I care about.
This time it's a matter of converting those "old" gamers to purchase another system.
