We can't save them. No one can save them. Everytime someone propose something new at Nintendo, Miyamoto says his disappoint and they move on the same projects over and over.
Andrew Ortiz
Go third party. Nobody gives a rats ass about their consoles when the competition is not only superior specs but also has actual online play. If they poured 100% of their budget into making good games, and sold them across multiple platforms, they would make more money then they would by selling Pee Poos with only one good game
Zachary Russell
I hope Yakuza man steals all their money
Charles Parker
Why does anyone care about Nintendo anymore? All they do is rely on the same like 5 games rehashed and and gimmicks that seem cool but get old within the week.
Dylan Torres
>>Only major game they have on the horizon is Zelda which STILL has no fixed release date beyond "2017" and will likely be another forgettable entry Opinion Discarded
Jacob Gray
because nintendo saved video games in 1985 when atari destroyed 99% of the trust and fun that was built up until then in 1983.
Thomas Parker
He's right
Zelda doesn't have a specific release date
Grayson Myers
I babysit two kids. They had an ipad for a while but they recent got a 2ds each. While they're excited to play pokemon, they found the 2ds really hard to work with and set up. They found the ipad easier to use in general, and I don't blame them for feeling that way.
Caleb Jenkins
anyone have th original? i want to know why he has a conehead
Aiden Powell
>Kids all play on smartphones now and think they're a joke
I'm letting my brothers play playstation instead of shitty nintendo :)
Jeremiah Hill
>Game has actual controls and touch controls >Plebs go straight to the touch controls
nothing unusual here
Jordan Phillips
>baitest of bait
Kevin Peterson
>>Casual audience has moved on >>Kids all play on smartphones now and think they're a joke >>>Only thing that makes money is 3DS which continues to lose against smartphones All of these are irrelevant because they're uh, making fucking smartphone games now? And by "Kids think they're a joke" you mean "Kids want more fucking smartphone games from them"
Parker Price
Doesn't seem like a good reason to me in this "what have you done for me lately" world we live in. 1985 was over 30 years ago. Nobody cares about that, especially since most of Nintendos current fanbase is well under 30 and don't know shit about that.
Hudson Hall
That's the entire industry as of right now user
Angel Myers
how it it bait frogposter
Mason Cox
How the hell is the 2ds harder to set up? You shove a game in it and press the start button. Maybe its just because I'm old but I fucking hate working with touch screens and smart devices.
William Taylor
>it it
James Anderson
>all of this Nintendo hate
Lincoln Adams
So Pokemon Go is a fad or not?
People has stopped mentioning it.
Christian Thompson
They deserve it for running SEGA out of business.
Nolan Baker
>Breath of the Wild >Forgettable How is the most different Zelda in years forgettable?
Wyatt Clark
Go back to making games for the Gamecube since they clearly can't make HD games in < 10 years
Lucas Ward
That was Sony's doing user
Charles Butler
nintendo becoming a third party
Angel Jackson
Of course it was a fad, it was so barebones I'm suprised it lasted as long as it did.
Nathaniel Smith
(((You)))
Charles Ortiz
There's only one way: Make games that have layers. A soft, squishy casual outer layer and a hard...core inner layer that's slightly hidden out of the way.
You basically just have hardcore mode hidden in options with the default game set to casual mode.
The problem is with games like Zelda you'd have to change the entire world layout to be much more expansive and less linear but that's easy to change by just walling off sections and removing enemies and dumbing down puzzles and/or removing some of them for the default casual mode.
But you gotta let them set it to hardcore for the first playthrough, none of that "have to beat easy mode first" bullshit.
Oliver Young
Ipad games are about instant gratification
Regular games you usually have to actually play them to recieve gratification.
Guess which an autistic baby would go to
Isaac Richardson
Never ever, Sony pony.
Ryan Stewart
It's still the most profitable game on the App Store somehow
Jordan Morris
Nintendo pulled some dirty moves with the yakuza back in the SNES days.
Jason Ward
[s] You can't [/s]
Seriously though Nintendos fucked
Noah Cox
>High dollar amounts means a good game
As much money and hype as all the AAA releases make, no one talks about them past that year. Only good games get remembered.
John Diaz
>Why does anyone care about Nintendo anymore? All they do is rely on the same like 5 games rehashed
How's the latest Call of Duty/Assassin's Creed/Madden/GTA on your MultiplatStation 4?
Tyler Reyes
Remember in 2005 or so people warned that Nintendo focusing on casuals will be a huge mistake because casuals are fickle?
Looks like they were 100% right.
Jason Davis
It's because of the pokemon name, If it was something else it most likely wouldn't do nearly as well.
Christian Parker
There's no saving them now. I say this as a former nintendrone who used to defend them all day on Cred Forums. Their only choice now is to go full mobile and license shitty films.
Luis Smith
>He bought a Wii U
Chase Myers
Except the Wii came out in 2006 and fucking dominated.
William Lee
The difference is Nintendo only cares about rehashes while other consoles at least try to get some new ips on the go
Julian Anderson
the only way to save Nintendo is to completely purge all the dusty traditionalist Japanese businessmen at the top (including Miyamoto) and replace them with people who understand the state of the industry today.
Even then it's an uphill battle.
Austin Howard
Nintendo-sama should be nicer to 3rd party qt's desu
Easton Hall
nigger what
Jayden Hall
What about the Treehouse crew? They're hip and young!
Asher Torres
Correction, Atari fucked themselves and thus atari clones failed as well. The home computer and the console industry in Japan stayed strong. Nintendo didn't save shit, this was just business.
Joseph Green
Because everything it does that we've seen so far has been done before and done better years ago.
Open world survivalcraft games are more stale than week old bread.
Daniel Reyes
ironically the wiiu still has more objectively good games than the xbone and ps4 combined
David Brooks
After the Wii days they just became irredemable
Thomas Turner
It hasn't been done in Zelda before, so I'm pretty sure it can't be forgettable in this context
Adam Long
Move entirely into mobile gaming e.g. Pokemon Go
Christopher Edwards
Name one good game besides Bayonetta 2.
Luis Robinson
Funny how Pretendos. Never bring that up.
Daniel Diaz
They're the new 4kids and they need to go.
Asher Gonzalez
>has been done before and done better years ago. t. a person who hasn't played the fucking game
Leo Hill
Neither have you.
Nolan Bennett
>Nintendocucks still thinking the world revolves around Zelda
Ethan Ramirez
Zelda hasn't been a relevant franchise in years. The last Zelda most people cared about was Wind Waker.
Evan Morgan
>Faggots try to include completely different games when talking about the memorability of a game series's installments
William Butler
Did Twilight Princess not exist in your world? That game was hyped up to hell and back
Jordan James
Is this the daily Nintendo shitposting thread?
Aaron Morris
Fact: everything the new Zelda does is one generation old
Jaxson Phillips
Oh I got the dates off. I meant 2007, because people warned after the wii came out.
People just bought a wii, played tennis or sports, and never bought another game. Nintendo lost their casual audience and much of their hardcore audience years later, just as predicted.
Robert Watson
Fact: What isn't?
Bentley Richardson
>Did Twilight Princess not exist in your world? That game was hyped up to hell and back >Nintendrones hyping new Mario/Zelda game is somehow noteworthy
Lucas Nguyen
>b-bu-but SONY!!!
Literally, >LITERALLY >I >T >E >R >A >L >L >Y
Every time. Stop with this Sony boogieman shit, you guys are worse than niggers when it comes to blaming others for your own problems.
Ethan Cook
>implying if you had scalable terrain and monsters in horizon you wouldn't be stoked as fuck
Jose Green
People cared about it then didn't they?
7 million sales don't lie
Juan Garcia
Darksiders is the best modern Zelda game.
Jason Murphy
>i would if i played only Nintendo games on only Nintendo consoles for my whole life like delusional nintendrones do
Zachary Davis
Is this bait? It feels like bait.
Nicholas Powell
Remove Miyamoto. Their parents have failed.
Owen Stewart
Truth hurts
Benjamin Evans
It might have if it was truth
Lincoln Martin
Go back in time to like 1990 and tell Nintendo that Atari is dead and so there is no reason to pretend video games are for babies any more.
Also shoot Charles Martinet in the head.
Matthew Smith
SEGA ruined themselves
Josiah Baker
>Running Sega out of business
Cameron Lopez
>Name one good game besides Bayonetta 2. still more than the ps4/1 have
Dominic Thompson
>Also shoot Charles Martinet in the head. What the hell did Charles ever do to you
Luke Thompson
Don't misunderstand me user, I love Charles. He is like a kindly old grandfather.
But it is the only way to stop Mario.
Julian Anderson
I hope you do realize there's hundreds of other Mario impersonators, right
Bentley Mitchell
Yes but Charles Martinet is the vessel in which the immortal, demonic spirit of Mario Mario is kept bound to this plain.
Lincoln Robinson
Someone needs to go all Looper on his ass
Colton Butler
why should we saved them? they are in deep shit and they asked for it last year alone, they realised shitty game after shitty game this year, they didn't even put any effort to hide the fact that they didn't give a fuck about wiiu and 3ds 2016 planning was almost a empty as wiiu library
they crushed each and every one of their licence >Mario this >Mario that >Super Mario this >Super Mario that >New Suoer Mario this >New Super Mario that
and when it's not mario, the senile motherfucker responsible for all this (OP's pic) will force a fucking gimmick into it because he can't think of anythnig better
I don't care about them anymore, fuck them
Caleb Russell
I don't care if it has a Mario skin as long as the games are different (I mean with different gameplay).
Unfortunately there hasn't been new Mario series in a long time.
Samuel Cook
Sega destroyed themselves. Nintendo and Sony had nothing to do with that.
Dylan Phillips
How many extra chromosomes do they have?
Asher Bennett
C'mon, the game is shallow as fuck. Every gamer who played any of the older games felt it in the first session.
Jose Howard
>Fad I'm sure they'll pump out gen 2, and then that will be it because normies don't care about Pokemon after gen 2. They barely care about Pokemon from gen 2.
Jack Davis
>A soft, squishy casual outer layer but user what does it smell like just wondering for a laugh ha ha
Colton Rivera
>cable tv cord cutters massively drop the income of tv studios forcing them to lower the budgets of tv shows
>massive declines in movie theater attendance causes movie studios to drop production costs of their movies and to debut movies to people on pay per view
>large tv sales decline, people start watching shows and movies on computer screens and mobile devices much
>the cost of making 1080p games declines with advances in technology
>the trend of video games to having more and more details in higher and higher resolution declines
Nintendo is then able to make games for both fans of 'cinematic' experiences at costs that aren't risky of huge losses if the game fails while also making games they have in the past like what are considered not amazing graphics in 2016 like New Super Mario Bros and they can also make mobile games with moderate to low graphics quality.
Adam Powell
Gen2 is pretty popular. Gen3 that pokemon become 'ruined forever'
Austin Flores
It doesn't deserve to be saved. Instead of another real Super Mario RPG, we get more garbage paper mario shit. Where's F-Zero? Where's Metroid?
William Sullivan
>gamer
Elijah Reed
Best answer here, thread should've ended
No one can save them but themselves. They don't need to be saved anyway, they want it like this. And they have the war chest to sustain it
Luke Rogers
For science, user. Don't lie: you tried it too.
Owen Rivera
>Where's F-Zero? Where's Metroid? niche series that has very few sales and fans
Benjamin Reyes
>And they have the war chest to sustain it money has a tendency to evapore very fast for irresponsible companys
Liam Bell
>Miyamoto says his disappoint and they move on the same projects over and over. Then why are Nintendo's hardware decisions so batshit insane?

They literally don't give a shit; they have that Danny Devito complex from Matilda. Literally everyone's wrong but them
Evan Bell
Google have literally spent the better part of a decade forcing people to submit to their will.

Kayden Rivera

Nintendo didn't release shitty add-ons or the Wii or Wii U to increase its lifespan
they also didn't release a console right after its announcement

well, not so different from what they actually do with ncl products anyway
