Dump on nintendo

>Awakening and Fates sold equally on Japan
>but in Europe and in NA, Fates sold way less
Does this sends the message that we don't want censorship?

>projecting this hard

You dont understand what projecting is either

That's brutal. Think Nintendo underestimates the influence of e-celebs and other internet personalities have on the market.

Probably more like we don't want to buy the same game three times to get the whole story

what? we need to put MORE shitty memes from 9gag? ok

nintendo is hiring more feminist girl gamers to do their localization as we speak. this time, with less girls doing stripping on the side.

Those are the two best selling fire emblem games... really makes you think.

vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=metroid

vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=fire emblem

This is just for comparison sake so we know is a retard.

What a shame, maybe Nintendo would have been better pretending this was a new IP.

Well shit, I guess Nintendo is right and no one really wants Metroid anymore.

>projecting this hard

>vgchartz

Nintendo is completely senile.

The worst part is that this is 100% how Nintendo is going to take it.

>dump on nintendo

Nintendo is the best game company.

And it's really not even close.

Ah, that is glorious to see.

SUCK IT YOU GODDAMN NINTENDRONES
DEFENDING STAR FOX ZERO LIKE YOU DID
CAN'T WAIT FOR COLOR SPLASH TO MEET THE SAME FATE

Autttttttttiiiiismmmm

I enjoyed awakening

its my first fe game. which fe should i play

>Fire Emblem destroys Metroid in sales.

Kek. Well deserved, as well.

>Being this autistic about being wrong
>Being this autistic ever

>projecting even harder

This is pretty good bait

What went wrong? I thought Monster Hunter was supposed to be gaining ground in the west!

>I enjoyed awakening
>its my first fe game. which fe should i play

I'm the same. I liked "Fates" too.

I understand why some people might not like them since I guess there wasn't "waifu" stuff in the games before, but you can mostly skip all that stuff so...

>worst
>implying it's not a mercy that Metroid is finally going to be allowed to rest in peace after Other M shit on it and Federation Force shit on it even harder

Nintendo fucking underestimates everything and refuses to listen. I don't know why they still insist on the console gimmicks.

>best game company
>can't even be successful outside the kawaii bubble that is Japan

im not even the samefag, autist

>Super Metroid sold more in Japan than NA
really makes you think

rip in peace metroid

>I don't know why they still insist on the console gimmicks.

Because Sony and Microsoft already put out products that are essentially under-powered PCs and Nintendo has no interest in being the third company to do that.

So they try something different.

I'm glad for this because the 8th generation so far (from MS and Sony) has been fucking pathetic. And now they want us to buy new hardware?

>projecting even harder

As a fan of Metroid I'm pretty happy about these sales figures. Perfectly happy for Nintendo to continue blaming the fans for not wanting new Metroid games for this happening. I don't trust them to make good games anymore so it's better they just leave it alone instead of just releasing shit like this.

>VGcharts

I really dont want youtube scum determing the games that are made.

Nintendo should sell the Metroid IP. It's meant to be in Western hands, and shouldn't be limited by abysmal Nintendo hardware.

Everyone pirated it.

Who the fuck doesn't have CFW already

...

Clueless executives it is, then.

It's dumb but like tons of kids take anything any adult with a facecam says as gospel truth and this game was more or less unanimously shit on by everyone relevant

I would be very surprised if 1% of the install base has their shit cfw'd

>The only thing Nintendo will conclude from this is "kill the Metroid series entirely"

I fucking hate the suits in charge of every goddamn company.

Metroid is a poor fit for nintendo's franchises.

What it should be:

>serious exploration game with some horror

What nintendo wants it to be:

>sexy blond waifu's adventures in anime stories

Put a new Metroid Prime game on PC and it'd sell a million. On a Wii U, or NX it would sell nothing. Nintendo needs to break free of the prison they've made themselves: their own consoles.

Yo, Metroid fans. They didn't make Federation Force in lieu of another main line Metroid game. Get over it.

Maybe they'll return to prime eventually, or do an old school style game.

As it is, y'all have 6 excellent games (and some more okayish ones) in a franchise that doesn't really sell that well. Consider yourselves lucky.

And it's a good thing that Nintendo doesn't put out new franchise iterations at a one-a-year pace.

yeah, i just cant relate. getting old i guess.

I really don't think anyone even gave enough of a shit to pirate this game. I sure as hell didn't bother.

I don't.

I haven't used my 3DS in years. I'd have to search through my stuff to even find it.

>SM sold better in Japan than in NA

That's weird, I've always heard metroid is a 'western' series

Good thing you don't really need to..?
All the 3 versions are complete games on their own (and you don't pay full price if you already have one)

>yfw no Metroid game ever sold more than F-Zero

And F-Zero is a C-list Nintendo franchise. Face it, all Metroid fags are morbidly obese virgins who jack off to Samus.

I dont care for PC, but i agree entirely about what metroid should be. Sick of anime shit. Cant asians do anything else?

no G rank no buy

le install base adoption rate face

...

>projecting at its best

>All video game fags are morbidly obese virgins who jack off to cartoons

Fixed it, you faggot nerds.

Metroid fits PS4, Xbone and PC very well. Not so much Ninty consoles.

So are we just going to ignore this webm or

Monster Hunter is the CoD of Japan

Dead Nintendo Franchises ITT
F-Zero
Metroid
Advance Wars

F

>Put a new Metroid Prime game on PC and it'd sell a million.

Holy fuck this. If you don't agree, you should play Metroid Prime on Dolphin in 1080p on a reasonably powerful PC.

You forgot Golden Sun

F

you can even play it with mouse and keyboard

Autism is a fucking sin, user. Let it go

Funny enough, the same site says all three Prime games sold better than FE: Awakening

Should metroid be a 3rd person dead space meets tomb raider on an alien planet?

Meanwhile, Fire Emblem gets 6 fucking and is growing stronk

>>prospecting at its best

Never underestimate waifu power

Yet none of them sold more than F-Zero, which is still pathetic.

If Prime was a good game, people would've come back to Echoes for more. But they didn't, Echoes had a massive sales drop.

Normies realize Metroid is garbage and didn't bother to buy the sequel.

You guys, its cool with fire emblem and kid icarus, but no more anime retconned nintendo franchises, please.

I still want the fucking source on this.

Nintendo has said that they don't know what to do with F-ZERO. Would want to innovate or do something different rather than rehash ideas (happens with Super Mario and Pokemon but those are consistent multimillion sellers)

starfox

oh yeah? tell me more, I'm up for replaying it over playing that slogfest that is Prime 2.

big anime titties man, Nintendo is going down the same shitty road that all the other jap companies have had to take

>Should metroid be dead

FTFY

And yes, and so should its fanbase

3d was a mistakee

2d sprites are better in every way right now

Custom Robo

You know, to be honest, I can't blame them. The F-Zero series is unique in that despite a 20-year history there are no bad games. Sure, there's only six games, but it's still almost unheard of. I don't know what I would even do with F-Zero, and if professional devs whose job is to think about that shit don't know either, then what can we expect? Would you really want an F-Zero that just put out more games for the sake of putting out more games?

they're fucking awful

literally Japanese EA

Sprites take a lot more manual effort in today's resolutions.

I don't know how this has anything to do with your post so I'll assume you're ctr.

Anyways I'm a DONG fag.

>Nintendo could have easily printed money by just making the AM2R guy just publish the game on Eshop and cancel the PC release and give him a 15% cut on sales
>Instead they just try to keep taking down a free download link while their newest game bombs like shit

This actually makes sense.
Japs have zero business sense.

The only franchises that will consistently get love from Nintendo are

>Super Mario Bros.
>The Legend of Zelda
>Mario Kart

Those are the three franchises fans expect on every system.

It'd be nice to get some more F Zero, but I think it conflicts a bit with Mario Kart, making it tough. Maybe one day though.

Right now Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are getting their day in the sun.

Metriod had it's day in the sun with three excellent Prime games over five years.

Pikman has steadily gotten some love since it's inception.

In the past 10 years, we've had smash hit franchises like Nintendogs, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and Brain Age/Big Brain Academy come and go.

In Gen 8, they created Splatoon, which I think we can expect to be a thing for awhile.

How does it all add up? Nintendo is an IP factory and it is hard to give every franchise the attention that fans think it deserves at all times.

I'm glad they're not like Ubi (new Assassin's creed every year for 10 years) or Activision (same but for CoD).

Try new things. Spread the love around. Even if you have to spread it thin.

Good 2D sprites are a pain in the ass to make and normies don't care about them.

>doesn't publish the same shitty cash cows every year for 3 decades
>doesn't buy up smaller companies, gut them, and abuse their IPs for cheap quick cash

How are they remotely like EA?

youre right and it digusts me. sick of weeb shit. nintendo was basically the only company not doing it

That's funny

First off lets pretend that metroid series sells well

Then lets also pretend that the person making AM2R has any fucking clue on how to port the game to the WiiU

Even then it's probably not making a huge profit

Nintendo's higher ups are raging Jap conservatives surrounded by yes men so they have outrageous egos and think they are the only ones capable of handling their own franchises
Yeah most Jap publishers have become shit but Nintendo takes the fucking cake

this is true

The GBA ones are ok but I would rather play F-ZERO for super nintendo. This one is slightly more polished than GP Legend and cuts down on the repetition by reducing races from 5 laps to 3.

What can you do? The slimy waifu losers are the ones willing to blow money on games and figures and shit.

>big anime titties man,

Lucina doesn't have big anime titties.

If you hate anime titties, just leave Camilla and Charlotte out of your party IMO.

The only good series nintendo has left is mario kart but sumo/sega outdid them with sonic all stars racing. If they made another for xbox one and ps4 the wii u would have zero value. Transformed is the best game in its genre by far

>implying Metroid isn't weebshit

Samus has always been a generic animu girl. She even had a manga.

i wish i could see all this through the japanese perspective, but alas. Are gamers over there obsessed with the aesthetic?

I would literally play a new F-zero that was F-zero Gx with simply more tracks (and slightly better graphics i guess). Thats it.

you get metroid prime trilogy and set your mouse to emulate the IR pointer, pretty easy just make sure you change it to say "cursor" instead of "axis" which is the default, otherwise it won't work right

I dropped AssCreed like a hot potato after 3, same old boring trailing and collect-a-thon shit game after game.

>>doesn't publish the same shitty cash cows every year for 3 decades
Mario, Zelda, Mario Party, Mario Kart etc
>doesn't buy up smaller companies, gut them, and abuse their IPs for cheap quick cash
too Jewish to spend any money at all

>take down fanart

>fisher-price tablets instead of 3rd party support

true, They're actually worse.

oh yeah the only thing is that you basically have to have a 5 button mouse because binding the lock-on to anything other than a side button on the mouse sounds unusable

Nintendo is the last great hope for video games. If this is the future, I'm finding a new hobby.

Nintendo is just as bad

their games are just as uncreative and dull.

Forgot Wario Land

id take anything over shooters at this point. Our culture is so fucked.

>Zelda
>shitty

Zelda is a good franchise though, unlike Metroid.

Ocarina is the highest rated game of all time by professional critics, with a 99 score on Metacritic, and the game most frequently aknowledged as the bess game ever.

4 wuz better

Should've followed Sega last gen then, they introduced the most new IP out there and had great games

...

>Mario, Zelda, Mario Party, Mario Kart etc

They put out one Mario Kart per system. One.

They put out one side-scrolling mario per console since the DS.

When BotW comes out, it will be the first home console Zelda in 6 years. And it will be radically different form Skyward Sword.

Mario Party is a cynical cash grab. You're right there.

There are already 4 Assassin's Creed Games and 4 CoD games on the PS4 and XBone.

This "Nintendo puts out the same shit" meme needs to die.

---

And Smash 4 is great. Competitive scene likes it and it sold tremendously on both platforms that it's on.

The hyper-competitiveness of Melee was a fluke that couldn't be repeated if you tried. Melee HD would make 50,000 people really happy, but you Nintendo can't afford to only please those 50,000 people.

I don't really know, for all we know nerds in Japan could be really into western shit and wish they were in superior USA instead of japan

I mean yeah, you could do that, but couldn't fans just make a level editor or put custom tracks in there instead? Especially now that GC emulation is so far along.

And if you haven't it's worth using action replay to access F-Zero AX off of the GX disk.

Sounds cool, thanks for the info.

you're just biased as shit if you think that those relatively trivial things are comparable to the monuments of shit which EA has constructed in its time on this planet. Comparing the 'staple' Nintendo franchises to EA's yearly sports is laughable, as even shit like NSMB got more creative effort involved than in EA's cash sacks. Comparing Nintendo's bizarre anti-fan policies as of late is also small potatoes to EA literally ruining countless series and companies over the last 20 years in the name of a quick buck. You can certainly criticize also some of their design choices, but honestly if you know Nintendo at all you should already expect things like shit hardware in their portables (in case you weren't aware, people have laughed at Nintendo handheld specs since the Game Boy, but nothing has ever matched their portable offerings in games quality, you know, the part that actually matters).

Also, you neglect to note that a 240p screen makes it perfect for emulating retro games. Much better than stretching stuff to fit an HD display.

americans gobbling up the nintendo shit again

it's an okay game for kids

>I'd take mario game #321,641

Oh fuck you hypocrite

>melee HD would make 50k people happy

No it wouldn't, they would find some aspect they dislike about it or, more likely, they would just point out that gamecubes and wiis and CRTs are cheap as shit and that people don't want to buy all that new hardware just to play the same game with better graphics. Not to mention that would take the wind out of the sails for modding Melee, which is a process slowly going forward as fans work to rebalance the game. A Melee HD would be an even more pointless gesture than you suggested.

Why'd they come back for Metroid Prime 3?

i live in a big city, and im scared to even leave my apartment. So many panhandlers and fights, robberies and shootings. ugh. stop glorifying guns to the brainless masses.

Go to ebay and tell me how much money ET is going for, you cross eyed retard.
Bad games don't become collector's items and the only reason Stadium Events is so rare is because it was rebranded for NA release immediately after release making the original game rare even back then.

I think most Nintendo fans, aside from the most delusional, want Color Splash to bomb.

Well what the fuck did they expect

>Oh fuck you hypocrite
See: Mario is very prolific because he is Nintendo's mascot and he shows up in a lot of stuff.

But Mario Kart is way different than Super Mario Bros. which is way different than Galaxy.

There are more mainline Call of Duty games than there are mainline side-scrolling Super Mario games.

>Melee was a fluke that couldn't be repeated if you tried.
>tfw 64 and Melee were made on complete accident
It's not like 4 would be bad without advanced tech either. I just wish the movement speed was faster and that the game had more hitstun or something for more combo ability. 0-deaths aside launch Bayonetta was the most fun I had with the game.

my b
meant to reply to this faggot

Yeah. That'll show em.

You DO know that Call of Duty, Ass Creed, Battlefield, Uncharted all get good reviews, right?

I'm not saying these are bad by any stretch, but if you think that Metascore is valid, so are these.

please dont shoot me like you do in every single ps4 game

maybe they hoped it would just be a case of people complaining and then buying it anyway

Do we know the digital sales of Fed Force? I want to see how it moved via eshop.

The Last of Us and Uncharted are great. Love em.

Call of Duty is a professional and polished product. I don't honestly think they've really ever put out a bad CoD game. Multiplayer is a ton of fun.

But I'm over it as far as shooters go. It's depressing to compare the breadth and depth of the PS2 lineup to what we've got so far on PS4.

I'd like it way more if DLC chars had never happened, too many of them are obviously overpowered.

>2 games released in the past 5 years
>compared to a game released 22 years ago

Why did no one call you out on this?

too easy

>I'd like it way more if DLC chars had never happened, too many of them are obviously overpowered.

Fucking Cloud man.

People already play way too defensively online for my tastes, and with Cloud there is no incentive not to because of the limit charge. You have to constantly be pressuring him.

And those hitboxes are enormous!

He can be beat though obviously. ZSS is still bae.

#1 mistake among aspiring collectors is misunderstanding that something being rare does not inherently make it valuable.

Its not even rare though.
Its just not selling. Sales =/= number of copies produced.

Because that's completely irrelevant?

>Go to ebay and tell me how much money ET is going for, you cross eyed retard.

>$5.95
>$3.00
>$25.00

Wow, at best case you can sell it 30 years later for only a 40% loss

>directly comparing market sizes across two different consoles across two fucking decades

don't forget the effects of inflation

metroid series has never sold well, I think the best selling was the prime series but in comparison with other franchises it's really not that good

>projecting THIS hard

holy shit dude

>There's one guy who's dedicated time in his own life to shitpost a Metroid thread
#Sad!

Wew laddy
I'm pretty sure that's worse than Codename Steam

Huh, are people overreacting again

The install bases are close enough.

what do you think happens to the production when a game sells badly

If a Nintendo took a poo in a box and then released it to the public Cred Forums would attempt to play with it

Not defending this shit, but how has nobody fucking realized
>"Global Total as of 27th Aug 2016"
>It's September 25th

i'm sure those kids would rather have something else
>you'll play your federation force and you'll like it, or you get no dessert!

You are missing the point.
Federation Force isn't going to increase in value because #1 nobody wants it now and #2 there will be no shortage of copies in the future because nobody is buying it.

E.T. Sells for nothing because they printed far too many copies. Nintendo games typically don't get big printings unless they're Mario or Pokemon, this game probably didn't have many copies made and it's not selling so lots will get sent back to Nintendo. Yes, it could very well retain its value in the short term and get more valuable depending on how many copies are in circulation later. Handheld games are often traded in/sold without cases or manuals too, so a MISB copy would hold more value.

the only other recent kid friendly release I would say is kirby

It depends on how many copies they printed. Wouldn't be surprised if they printed fewer than 500K.

>this game probably didn't have many copies made
A Nintendo franchise game released on the 30th anniversary of said franchise marketed toward children that is a huge sales flop?
No, they made plenty of copies. That's why its such a flop. They made too many copies of ET because it was based on a recent movie and they expected that to make it an easy sell.

Yeah, I wondered about this too.
But still, there's no reason to believe it's any higher now.

it became hot shit as soon as the II spinoffs were released
over narrative trash

all their latest releases have been selling like trash.

really sad state of affairs. pokemon sun and moon should be one lass hurrah, though.

on to the nx.

Pokemon sales will be off the charts now with all the Pokemon Go hype and 2DS being at an all time low.

Also looking at the view counts of the recent trailers is just baffling.

Waifu emblem, monster hunter and pokemon are enough to maintain whatever shit console nintendo puts out afloat.
I also heard Yokai Watch is famous in japan so there's that.

>dat delusion
Holy shit, user. You should see a doctor about your condition.

Waifu Emblem is more relevant than Metroid, but it's still irrelevant.

A franchise that sells really well is Animal Crossing.

I'm glad Nintendo's paying for a fuck up.

No one wanted Federation Force. From the very beginning, that was made clear, and rather than try and adjust things due to the reception, they put their foot down, and starting talking about "love" and "romance", and trying to convince fans.

And don't tell me it would have cost more to extend the development time. At this point, it's got to be close to a 100% loss for them. A simple shift in how the mechs and player models were designed would have probably quadrupled the sales.

>A simple shift in how the mechs and player models were designed would have probably quadrupled the sales.
That would of taken at least an extra year

And even then x4 of .02m is not much so I don't see the point. I'm pretty sure you're the only person that is that upset about the chibi part of federation force. Most people were just upset at the general gameplay ACfag

>From the very beginning, that was made clear, and rather than try and adjust things due to the reception

Game design by committee is shitty IMO. In general, don't listen to fans. They're not game designers. In general they'll just tell you they want what they had before with better graphics.

Federation Force was a game they had planned since the DS. Obviously some things got lost in translation along the way and it didn't workout so great.

It's okay to fail. Try something else. Don't focus test your way into making a video game though.

This really is the worst time to be releasing or even revealing their new console because they've spread such ill will towards fanbases of different series that how can you possibly get excited for even half the shit they'd release on the NX.

>I'm pretty sure you're the only person that is that upset about the chibi part of federation force

How many fucking threads have you been in, pal? There was a huge wait in just the reveal trailer until we saw some of the meat and potatoes of the gameplay, and during that time, there were constantly people harping on about how it'd be like Wind Waker.

The thing is though, Federation Force does not have a cartoony style. It has cartoony models. The graphics as a whole, are bad, but they aren't stylized, or colorful in a way that makes a unique statement. The designs for the mechs were rooted in the worry that people would get confused with who and where they needed to shoot- never mind the fact that that wasn't a problem in Prime Hunters.

Just from a series perspective though, the choice did not work. Metroid is a series that aped off of the movie Alien; a horror film that utilized art from HR Giger, and while never going to such lengths as Giger, its had a fairly consistent visual approach since the beginning. Letting technical limitations force you to break the visual continuity, and play it off as style, is a sign of incompetence.

In this case, there was almost no positivity regarding it. There's a difference between ignoring fickle fans, and ignoring that there is not market for your product, as reality is now clearly showing.

The sales here are laughable. It's not even 1/10th the sales of the previous worst selling title.

I really doubt they printed more than a million copies, they knew reception was negative at its reveal and I don't think they expected it to be a huge seller in the first place. Five million copies of E.T. were ordered and lots that were sold were returned, this is no where near the case with Federation Force.

>The sales here are laughable. It's not even 1/10th the sales of the previous worst selling title.

It's okay to fail.

If you want constant success, play Assassin's creed. They succeed in creating an extremely mediocre product every year.

I would play an Assassin's Creed game over Federation Force. You're acting like there was anything unique or artistic about the latter game. It was a bog standard co-op shooter with Rocket League tacked on.

There were several very simple things that could have been done to improve the game after the initial launch trailer reception, and yet they didn't.

The most basic thing would have been having the human models look like humans. You could play off the robots as being stylized, but no, they're big bobbled-headed Miis.

>I would play an Assassin's Creed game over Federation Force.

Cool. Do it.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

You're not helping anyone, you're trying to act like Nintendo are noble for choosing to make something 'different'.

There were clear ways that they could have mitigated a failure, but they chose not to.

>Last updated a month ago when it was still new

It probably has way more sales by now.

They're going to have to sell them off cheap to dump stock

This game had zero advertisement
Seriously, not a single commercial

It sold less than 5000 copies in Japan in the first month, and didn't break the top 40 in the UK.

Where they pulled 20k out I don't know, but I'm guessing it's actually in the ballpark.

>F-zero
>C list
Not when it came out.
At launch f-zero was fucking revolutionary, a goddamn (pseudo) 3D racing game using the extra hardware was crazy. It sold because it was a technological showpiece.

A couple of youtubers shilled it. Even went on Nintendo's channel.

The game literally hasn't placed in a single sales chart since it released. This means it sold less than 2,000 copies in Japan in launch week, and fuck knows in other regions. With no records to access on it the only assumption that can be made is that it sold less than the lowest games in the relevant charts, and there's no information to update it with.

See, if you had said that any number of months ago, it would have been dismissed as "the old Core being sour, rose-colored Nostalgia Glasses-wearing, old-ass men bitching about how modern games aren't made for them any more."

These sales figures FINALLY AND UTTERLY DESTROY that stupid notion, once and for all. And even though it means Nintendo suffers for it, I couldn't be happier.

I honestly don't know who Federation Force was made for.

I didn't even know it released. Great job marketing Nintendo. Next thing I know NX is only a couple months away and I still don't know what that is.

Tanabe's nephew.

I only own a Wii U in terms of a next gen console.

Honestly I've enjoyed the few games that have came out for it. It was the first console I bought myself. I never played the majority of the Wii library so I have got to play some of the games that I missed before had. Everyone says it has a terrible library but I don't see it. It has a small but solid library. I think the Gamepad wasn't a good idea. It isn't practical and I find looking down at it takes away from the action. If I was Nintendo I would have just saved the money and made the Pro Controller the standard.

Had Nintendo not put the R&D into the Gamepad and released in 2011, I think I would have been quite successful. Especially if they changed the name. The Wii U is a terrible name. Most of my normalfag friend still think it's just a Wii accessory.

But honestly I have no plans on buying an NX, the new Nintendo practices have really screwed with me. Region locking, Censorship (I can deal with small things like Xenoblade, but removing a ton of things like in FE is not okay) and such have left a bad taste in my mouth.

Nintendo really needs to figure this shit out fast. Normalfags want Call of Duty and Sports games. Really simple. If they just cut some deals with the companies that made them for exclusive content and made a normal ass console they would be successful. Imagine if Nintendo got a version of 2K that was only one that had Jordan in it? Or if they had some special DLC for CoD?. 1/2

In japan, if your game doesn't sell in the first couple weeks after release it goes into the bargain bin and never restocked.
If it didn't sell well in the first week it means it bombed in japan.

That would help with numbers quite a bit. Sink the money into these deals now and that will help revise the brand as being a brand for gamers and not for kids. Because that's what people see Nintendo as now, due to the Wii's success with casuals.

Of course there is a certain nostalgia for the N64 now, so they need to capitalize on that like Sony did with the PS1 version on the PS4. Pokemon is quite popular again with Pokemon Go reviving people's memories of the old games. So they need to bit the bullet and make a fully realized high budget console Pokemon that launches with the NX.

Also they need to advertise heavily. The Wii had a lot of memorable adverts, who doesn't remember "Wii would Like to play"? I've never seen a Wii U advertisement.

Nintendo needs to rethink what it's doing. The only Gimmick that is viable in todays market is VR, and it wants nothing to do with it. The same thing happened with online gaming. Nintendo was behind and still is behind when it comes to that.

I'm glad they are making mobile games now as well. Games like Mario Run and Pokemon Go only act to boost brand recognition and act as advertisements for there console games.

They need to revive more Mature IPs as well. People want realistic games ala Gears or Uncharted, simple as that.

>I have no plans on buying an NX
Same, but it's mostly due to not knowing what the fuck it even is.

>he says this while comparing it to Waifu Emblem

You're to stupid user.

>Normalfags want Call of Duty and Sports games. Really simple.

This. I used to live with two guys that would play Madden constantly. Every. Single. Day. Without fail they'd be on the 360 doing the same exact bullshit no matter what. Never once did they get bored of it.

Normalfags don't want good video games, they just want mediocre time wasters. Sports games just happen to be socially acceptable due to the whole frat bro sport culture.

I wish they would make more 2d metroids, the last one was over a decade ago. At this point I've given up on metroid returning to its roots

Stadium Events is the most valuable commercially released and officially licensed NES game.

CIB copies go for more than Grey Nintendo World Championships carts.

>F-Zero
>Metroid
>Advance Wars
>Golden Sun
>Custom Robo
>Codename STEAM
>Legendary Stafry
>Diddy Kong characters
>non-waifu Fire Emblem
>Mother (purposely ended though)

Next will be Star Fox. Nintendo will basically go back to only caring about Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Animal Crossing and pure-weebshit.

At least HAL and Retro are still consistent in quality.

Nah, Codename Steam sold just as bad.

Don't forget Pikmin.
Because everyone asked for a 2D platformer, right? that's what the kids want. Mario with pikmen

Also forgot
>Kid Icarus

It sucks Star Wars had to die once they figured out how online games are supposed to work.
Imagine a re-release of Advance Wars 2 with online and map sharing functionality.

>Metroid is a shit franchise
>Gameplay-wise Metroid is objectively terrible.
There are people out there that unironically believe this. Other M really ruined everything.

>backtracking is good gameplay

There are people out there that unironically believe this.

Butthurt Metroid fan detected

Pikmin got a quality entry not so long ago

They dont need to be cranking Pikmins yearly

>Mario with pikmen
Olimar can't even jump, it's not a fucking platformer.

It's a sidescrolling puzzle game if anything.

>tfw just bought this used the other day for 10 bucks
>(previous owner made it only one mission in before stopping, kek)
>so far the game is pretty alright

Does it get better once I have a full-sized party? Right now I only have that John nigger with me.

It's great once you get more party members, yeah.

The Fire Emblem amiibo break the fucking game, don't get them.

Prime isn't so bad. The worst aspect is the level design, mechanically was quite good.

Which I mean, sort of inverses the traditional Metroid formula of having fantastic levels but kinda shit standard mechanics so it's a wonder it was received so well.

I don't watch sports aside from UFC but all my friends play 2K.

Thanks. Shame about the amiibos, I nearly planned on using my friends' own. Guess I'll save them for post-game dickery.

I projected so hard I'm now having an out-of-body experience. Thanks faggots

I didnt get it SOLELY because it lacked the jp voice option that was in the awakening. Why they couldnt, I dont know but it lost them a sale.

They're designed to be able to speedrun levels, so saving them for post-game is probably your best option.

Oh god, he's a recently new Fire Emblem fag.

How do you be a Fire Emblem fag and call someone else a lonely waifufag?

Fire Emblem fags are the textbook definition of lonely waifufags. user, do you have self-hatred?

Fire Emblem had to sell itself out to make those kinds of sells. Pathetic. This is why I stick with older Fire Emblem games.

>Also looking at the view counts of the recent trailers is just baffling.

What do you mean?

Do the older ones lack the waifufaggotry?

I've been looking at giving the series a try but that whole relationship shit is kind of a turnoff.

I've never played Awakening or Fates.

The point is that even a niche weeb franchise is more relevant than Metroid

The main character has a canon love interest in every single game until FE6, but there's no self inserts until the second DS game.

FE4 is more relationship driven due to the plot, but it's more about eugenics than waifuing characters, because no self insert.

There's marriage and relationships in past Fire Emblem games as well but it's not as horrid as the way Awakening and Fates handles it. The old games don't pander so hard to a certain demographic like Awakening/Fates does.

Maybe I should show you some examples but I don't want to spoil anything.

The only previous game with marriages was FE4, but it doesn't feel like a waifu simulator because the protagonist has a canon wife. Pairing up the other characters is like breeding Pokemon, not really waifu-bait like Awakening or Fates.

her dick, surrouned by 6 mini suns, grew a new dick
and then it was consumed by an anal prolapse
and then cloned by another alien prolapse

People only care about Mteroid because its a marketable Nintendo IP and it provides fans the illusion that Nintendo somehow still has games up it's sleeve besides Mario rehashes.

It's a dead franchise and it's gameplay is not that great, it simply wouldn't work with todays standards

You do know there are a multitude of games out there now that follow and try to evolve the original Metroid formula, right? Like, an entire subgenre?

HA

GOTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMM

le certain demographic meme
If this isn't le tricky hook in action, I don't know what is. Fuck off, kid. FE was dead before Awakening released.

Miyamoto met ijustine and a few others and appeared in their videos last year. He was advertising Star Fox. Nintendo also had a lot of ecelebs at the 2015 Nintendo World Championships.

Just fyi

I can't remember the artist's name but if it makes you feel any better that is by far the best thing he ever did

>le certain demographic meme
Yes, that's what weeaboos are. A relative-sizeable one, but certainly not fully the same normies buying CoD, Madden and Angry Birds.

I'm hoping Color Splash goes the same way, but I'm guessing it won't. It's a Mario game, so that alone will sell it, plus I just saw an ad for it on TV, so there's some level of actual marketing.

>yfw every nintendo franchise are dead except Pokemon, Mario, Zelda and waifu emblem the last one is dead inside though

What an embarrassment.
Seriously. What's it going to take to slap some fucking sense into this company?

Nothing.
It has been a trend for them to fuck everything up for the past half decade or so

what site is this?

Looks like VGchartz, which means it should be taken with a grain of salt, but at the moment, the other numbers we have for the game actually come in /lower/ than what they're presenting.

I just want to look at the numbers for a different game

Rainbow Six Siege

I'm finished. Absolutely fucking finished with this general. Every single day we're on the verge of death, but that retard Raniel has to continue posting his dumbass song lyrics to bump. Just let the general rest! There's no news! The NX will flop and it's all your fault for not burying /nintyg/'s corpse when you had the chance!
And what's worse, even though I'll sage with this post, that dumbass Gor will reply to me saying some stupid shit like "wew lad," and bumping this fucking thread!
How many years will pass before you degenerates realize Nintendo is a dying company? How many years can you continue bumping this thread with dumb shit like "ok" and Breath of the Wild webms? How many years will it take for you all to grow tired of this general?
True and Honest Donkey Kong left us years ago because this place is a trainwreck. Before you even bother replying with "well he was just here the other day," that was me you fucking moron! I was impersonating him because I felt sorry for you!

You all make me sick. Why bother even supporting Nintendo if you're just going to reply to retards like babt?
Fuck you, /nintyg/.

people are tired of seeing Monster Hunter being held back by shit hardware

Says all together it's sitting at 3.51 million.

Generals are fucking weird. They breed their own little insular community that doesn't make any sense to people outside of it.

link? cuz when I tried it would only find this IOS game

vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name= Rainbow Six: Siege

3.54 million, my mistake.

thanks user

No, because everyone that's not Japanese and not stupid found out how to hack the system.

No advertising whatsoever

Federation force was alright, but we all know what a REAL killer app is.

Smash can fuck off until Ridleys on the roster.

Yes I'm a bitter piece of shit who's never getting what he wants. Thus, fuck Smash.

Is that bad? I am hoping that's bad.

The best selling Metroid game solid close to 3 million. The worst selling Metroid game prior to this, Other M, sold around 500k.

Federation Force is now reporting to have sold 20k.

Twenty thousand. Across the whole world.

Nice. That's awesome.

Nintendo have become senile, have no idea who there audience is, and keeps shitting out blunder after blunder. The new Zelda game is a MONUMENT to the fanbase, that no matter how bad a series has fallen, the fan base will eat it up every single time, again and again.

We could live in a world with open world next gen pokemon game on console, mario 64 hd next gen, pikmin 4, and so many other IPS they have that I can't think of right now and it would make so so many people happy and they'd honestly make billions off the pokemon game alone, but instead.

METROID PRIME, FEDERATION FORCE, EXCLUSIVE ON THE 3DS.

well done ninty, keep at it, you're doing GREAT.

>Put a new Metroid Prime game on PC and it'd sell a million.
>What it should be:
>serious exploration game with some horror
But that's Witcher 3, the 'horror' part being combat.

Really as a Nintendo fan, the only answer above all on what they are doing wrong is that they have no focus. They want to gain new fans, AND keep their old fans, but everything they do is trying to do both at the same time usually.

An example. They want new fans to metroid, but they believe old fans of metroid only love it cause samus is in it and that's it. So they make Federation Force, and slap the Prime label on thinking that's all that is needed.

All of their good and helpful ideas just get buried under a pile of shit. A example of this is, they said they want Super Mario Run to get more people into playing normal Mario. However, notice something? Normal 2D Mario hasn't be reinvented entirely into shit, so this would work out. Meanwhile, they desperately destroy each and every IP they have, trying to get new fans while thinking people only like those IPs for the characters only, which is plain wrong.

Basically, if they want smartphone people to help them so badly, they should just stick to that plan, and keep their IPs stable and consistent towards the people that actually care about them, instead of burning as many bridges as possible trying to catch everyone.

If you do so, wait until the game gets reduced to bargain bin prices before buying it. I made the mistake of not waiting with Codename: STEAM, and it went even further on sale about a month later.

69
nice.

Just play Ryu then, that dude slip and slides around the stage and has insane combo game.

Devils Third and bloody Pikmin were collectors items there for a while until the online for DT was announced to close and Pikmin got a PC release
