Iwata's because gaming on phones is the cancer slowly killing video games and it's just all microtransactions
>CEO wants money
>Iwata wants Nintendo to stick to their guns and not sell out like everyone else
>HURR HE'S TEH BAD GUY, NOT LIKE ANYONE CARES ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ANYMORE

>>256053220
Truly, we are in dark times if he does get the boot.

>>256052991
Shareholder generally dont know shit about how a company operates and just wants the stocks to increase.

Whatever Iwata is doing, he's clearly killing the company.

>>256052991
>He continues to be involved with software development even after becoming president

how is this bad, he's an amazing programer

fuck you executives

>>256052991
The fuckers just need to do a Pokémon for smartphones, selling shit like master balls and accesories and they will do insane profits.

>>256052991
Iwata invented casual gaming and subsequently mobile gaming.

>>256053521
One of the last comments says there are Nintendo CEOs who don't like his involvement with software development after becoming President, so it's not just shareholders

>>256053773
It's probably because it makes them look bad in comparision as the employes see that at least someone who orders them knows what the fuck he's doing.

>>256053742
Naw, he just popularized a series of tech demos which helped to get the boost they need to sell their last gen console incredibly well.

MKW helped ensure that it would sell well until the end of its lifespan.

>>256053986
No, it's because being micromanaged is a shitty work situation, but no fucking autistic neckbeard without work experience is going to know that.

So why did Iwata's apporval rating improved?

Why did they allow Iwata to return to office?

Don't they want to stop this and prevent Iwata from making a new console?

>>256054583
Because the rumor is fake?

lets say they kick out iwata, what the fuck are they going to do?

you think they are gonna say "oh boy /v/ wants another f-zero and old school games, we should do that"

they are going to give you super mario iOS and pokemon iOS with micro transactions and even worse f-zero iOS

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I'm still confused where this source comes, and confused on why Iwata apporval rating improved.

Why do you want Nintendo focus on consoles?

Consoles are dying

>>256054817

If Iwata is removed, then they'll have a clean field to do whatever they want, starting with porting older Nintendo games to iOS and Android. They will do mad profit from people who doesn't know how to emulate.

Bussinesswise, if the rumors are true, removing Iwata is the right choice.

Iwata's. It's not even a question.

>>256055598
Oh god...

Time and again Iwata was the difference between a major Nintendo title being complete unreleasable shit or being another one of the greatest games of all time. He swooped in and saved EarthBound by reprogrammnig the whole damn thing. He took the prototype of Pokemon Gold & Silver and shrunk it so that they could cram all of Kanto in there.

Yamaguchi chose this man over his own son because the dude was a badass businessman who knew what was best for his company. I bet this is all bullshit, and I also bet that anyone who actually works at NOJ sucks Iwata's dick like they rightfully should.

>>256053521

WHAT

you mean the people who use their money to buy shares from the PUBLIC COMPANY want the company value to increase instead o dropping and losing billions every year?

HOW DARE THEY!!!!!11111

>>256055591

Everyone can claim they got the info from "sources" but in reality they are just made up for clicks because it doesn't add why Iwata rating improved. Or Nintendo is lying about the rating or the webite made things up.

>>256053741
that'd be disgusting

>Fire Iwata for short term mobile profit
>In five years Nintendo will be aimless
>In ten years, bankrupt

>>256054817

better than nintendo crashing and burning worse than the dreamcast and the gamecube.

the fucking GAMECUBE is kicking the wii U`s ass.

THINK ABOUT THAT

>>256052991
The Yamauchi's son was a total hack

The Iwata's approval rating is fine

This is bullshit.

>>256052991
>managers who oppose Iwata would want Yamauchi’s first son to become Nintendo’s president.


Dear God NO

I think Nintendo has the software talent to really push the quality of mobile gaming if they ever go that way. I hope some kind of hardware comes along with the deal, though. I hate forced touch controls.

Iwata's side

Nintendo's charm will die off without him

>>256055598
Consoles aren't dying, but Nintendo's hardware is falling behind. They're at risk of becoming even more isolated from the rest of the industry which isn't a good thing unless they can make enough system selling games by themselves.

Fuck bending over for CEO's and their push to kill video games to appeal to retards.

Based Iwata's. Forever.

>>256052991
>retards still think there's money to be made in mobile gaming.
Yeah, because we all know how much money Capcom/Squeenix are rolling in right?

>still no source on this "rumor"

>>256056195

nintendo had 9 billion on their war chest after the wii became a hit. it has since lost over 3 billion on the wii U. 3 billion burned by iwata in less than 3 years.

at this rate, nintendo won`t last to 2020. so, from your own admission, they would last longer following the mobile profit.

>>256052991
>Whose side would you be on
The side that refuses to become mobile phone sellouts

>>256052991
sounds like some buttblasted employees to me that someone got hired that actually gives a fuck

nintendos big strength is hording all their own ips.

spread it around and they become sega.

>>256056495
If they went mobile chances are that most of their force would leave for other companies though.

>yfw Iwata has a "car accident" this October

clearly Nintendo should keep pandering to /v/ and losing money instead of actually changing anything

>>256056652
>it has since lost over 3 billion on the wii U
Nice lie.

>>256055760
>They will do mad profit from people who doesn't know how to emulate.

It's not going to be that simple. They can't get people paid upfront for the emualtors, and have to bait those casuals into spending mony

Nintendo will need some seirous marketing and resarch to get people throw dollars at Nintendo. Putting games on mobile won't instantly make you profits.

So is this why there's no Nintendo account system?

>>256055997
Because short term returns are always better than sustained success, of course. Why would you want to make a brand that can last decades when you can get a quick buck NOW.

How long until the constant bitching from Smartphone pieces of shits get to Nintendo?

Iwata is a shit producer and CEO. It represents everything wrong with Nintendo nowdays. I would definitely support the son of the man who thought about giving us good games was his main objetive and not jew people with sequels, rehashes and useless gimmicks.

>>256056728
It doesn't have to be a total abandonment of other platforms. Can you imagine if they just had one team, like intelligent systems make a mobile game? I think people would eat it up.

>>256052991
So what I'm getting from this is that Iwata is the only authority at nintendo that actually cares about video games. Is that right?

>>256057179

There is a Nintendo account system, the NNID(Nintendo Network ID).

Infact Iwata said they're treating the NNID as it's own platform to coexist between consoles, handhelds and even the QoL devices whatever it ends up being.

man, that article doesn't even TRY to sound feasible; it's like reading something from The Sun

It's slippery slope those. The media and industry wants Nintendo to go third party in general.

Sony/Microsoft can get away with it because they fucking giants, and the media can't fuck with them.

It would be more profitable to expand Nintendo's IPs to shit like smartphones.

At the same time, that shit is literally the cancer killing video games, and anyone that actually WANTS to play shit on phones already knows how to. So fuck that.

So go Iwata. Yeah, it won't make as much money, but hey, standing for your principles always costs something.

I....what? How is this bad?

>>256057484
No, what I meant was digital purchases being tied to the actual console instead of the account.

I shouldn't have to keep myself from bringing my 3DS anywhere and risk losing all 15+ games I bought for good.

Remind me again who the fuck makes so much on mobile gaming? It's not Crapcom or Squenix.

>>256057610
>Going on omegle

Literally the bigeest benefit to having Nintendo games on the iOS would be to get the word and experience out for Nintendo games.

People in high school and some in college are too self-conscious to carry around 3DS's. They all have iPhones or iPods, and as a result, Nintendo could reach out to a lot more people, potentially luring them into buying a real, actually functioning console.

I'm on Iwata's side, I'd be completely fine for Nintendo to stay first-party system-exclusive. However I would think that there are a number of benefits for moving to iOS. So long as the quality of the games do not diminish significantly, I'd be down for it.

tl;dr I'm with Iwata, but I can see why they want to move to iOS and I'm fine with it as long as they don't screw it up.

So what? A normal person that probably isn't into video games thinks a game she played at her friends house is fun? Big fucking deal.

>>256052991
Assuming any of this is true, of course I'd take Iwata's side. Somebody has to remain dedicated to video games and jt might as well be Nintendo. Honestly I could see it paying off in the long run after Microsoft and Sony start going after the retarded smart phone and tablet audience, as that would leave Nintendo as some sort of niche market filler for people who want actual games.

The majority of /v/ are Nintendo fanboys, though.

If Nintendo made mobile games, it would be like accepting defeat. Most of their well known developers would probably move to other companies and Miyamoto would probably retire.

All passion for making games would be gone and all work would be going towards pleasing the investors. Which means that Nintendo would become a soulless company with a bunch of generic "salary men" working for them.

And of course when the mobile fad ended, Nintendo would die with it.

>>256057863
Smartphone gaming sucks right now. Both the software and the interfaces. So I'm still a huge console fag. But it won't be that way forever. I don't think anyone is as well positioned to inject actual quality into that industry as nintendo is. From a selfish perspective, I just want to see them find ways to make money, and keep paying those geniuses in Kyoto to make games.

Why buy a new $50 Super Mario game when you can get Super Mario on the iOS for just 99 cents? And then pay an extra dollar to make Mario jump higher! And then, if you're having too hard a time you can drop another dollar for 10 Super Mushrooms to be used at any time, OR five dollars for 10 Super Stars!

This isn't a fantasy exageration, either a shareholder or someone on the board at Nintendo actually said "pay a dollar to make Mario jump higher"

Yeah, and run games at a silky smooth 30fps? No thanks. They do need to focus on better hardware, but it's stupid to try and make a dumbed down computer like Microsoft and Sony do. Consoles need more variety not only in games, but hardware too. They try and compete with Microsoft and Sony on their level, and they'll fail.

>>256058371
I remember the "Nintendo Fusion" rumour that was so poorly conceived they actually claimed that it would feature standard PC architecture and be a powerhouse...for £350

Even though Iwata is resisting mobile garbage, he has no idea how the internet has changed things. Their online infrastructure is garbage.

They'd make profit selling out all thier old franchises like that, but that profit would dry up really quick. Iwata is in charge of making nintendo last another 100 years.

It's not nearly as bad as people claim, it's still honestly bad.

Like, Internet is not going away anytime soon, Nintendo should invest into a strong online system, they have to do it at some point, might as well be soon

>>256059328
That is true, but companies these days only seem to care about the next graphical enhancement (which is ironic since they develop for consoles and not PC), so Nintendo being behind everything is problematic in this regard.
>>256059398
Gamecube was a great machine, fucked over by third party companies left and right, and it was due in fact that the PS2 existed at this time. The PS3 and PS4 are nowhere near the PS2's status, nor will they ever be. The Xbox brand only took off thanks to Halo, which deterred a lot of people away from the Gamecube.
>>256059413
Sadly, it's the truth. One of their biggest problems as well is the decision to call the Wii U, the Wii U. Most people that game these days thing it's just a peripheral for the Wii and don't understand it's an entirely new console, especially factoring in all the random people that bought a Wii. Nintendo still has plenty of money, sure they lost a shitton of it in the first quarter alone, but they've got plenty, and I don't see them going under anytime soon or having to resort to smartphone games.

Even if the consoles ever do go down, they'll just stick to handhelds exclusively.

You fucked up. Maybe do some research into the field before you invest like someone who isn't retarded.

>>256058994
Of course they need to change their ways, but jumping on the mobile bandwagon without fully understanding the risks and rewards is retarded. That's the problem with investors, they would want the rewards without considering the risks of Nintendo doing it. Dropping people who give Nintendo's money without proving that Mobile audience is going to give you more money is silly .

I don't like the idea of Nintendo going mobile without going third party, first. I don't think it's possible for Nintendo to go mobile, and have a handheld busines at the same time. It's nothing more then accepting defeaft that could spiral for black PR for the 3DS and Wii U. I don't think Nintendo should be just focusing on mobile itself. They just focusing on extending their reaches in the MMO, F2P in mutiple markets, Smart Toys, health, etc instead of just merely focusing JUST mobile.

Yes Capcom releases mobile games, but they still make amusement park/arcades. Yes Square Enix releases mobile, but they have tenacles elsewhere. Gungho releases mobie, but they have have MMOs and network services to back on.

Nintendo ONLY focusing on mobile seems silly without actual legit plan.

Considering Nintendo actually knows how to make a game run smoothly I don't think they'd have a problem with it. Consumers don't want gimmicks, they just want something they think looks pretty and runs at 30fps, this is the sad truth these days.

>Or the library of both the xbone and the PS4 being utter, complete, total shit

It doesn't matter how shit it the games are on Wii U, /v/ will and does defend them to death. Your shitposting is a prime example.

>>256057367
Nintendo will never go towards Mobile. It would be a sign of defeat and for a company like Nintendo, who's whole principles are built on not giving in, it would be sudoku for them.

>>256060074
It's PC masterrace above anything.

It's just that the current state of the industry is utter shit, you have the Xbone, an upraded xbox360 that says "PS4" on the front and the WiiU

And the one with the most exclusives is 100% going to be the WiiU

And WiiU actually does cater to the hardcore audience, plenty for the age of the system even.

/v/ is not biased towards Nintendo, Nintendo is biased towards /v/, ESPECIALLY in comparison to the other two

>>256059870
I'd rather have bland rehashes than mobile games. Do you really have no idea how unimaginably horrible they are? Phone games make sticker star and other M look like masterpieces

>>256059647
Oh yes the graphics are caught up well done. That was surely the only issue.

Not the lack of good controls
Or the lack of quality control and abundance of ripoffs
Or the inability to price a game for more than free or a buck
Or the fact that most people arent willing to play through a long game on just their phone
Or the insecurity of depending on other peoples hardware

What? Sony was always mocked. No gaems, ect.

If it wasn't for Demon's Souls, PS3 would have been paper weight for a solid 3 years.

>>256059151
Can you honestly tell me what the PS4 does that the Xbox One can't, or vice versa? I mean, I'm no expert, but the games for the most part look exactly the same graphically-wise, and 95% of the games can be matched with that same one or one dangerously similar to it on the other console.

Heck, call me a Nintendrone, but it seems like Nintendo will continue to do alright so long as they improve their marketing and continue to find some positive way to set themselves apart from the competition. Sony and Microsoft seem like they're essentially copying each other now when you look at the big-picture.

>>256059986
>They will never stop inventing new gimmicks

Maybe they should stop focusing on inventing gimmicks so they have enough time left over to make new games, as opposed to slapping together yet another Mario title.

>>256060271
The difference between the two is, even though Nintendo does rehash, their games are still fun even if it's the same old shit every time. Sony and Microsoft pump out rehashes, but those games were never fun, except maybe one or two here and there.

I've been invested with Nintendo since 2002. I want other investors to agree with me to get rid of Iwata.
He's a stubborn man, and a former dev shouldn't be at the helm of the business. I'm sorry, but the profits from the Wii and DS are quickly diminishing. Maybe mobile is too saturated but 3rd party on other big platforms would be fantastic.

>>256060271
>As opposed to what, the nth entry of classic Nintendo IPs with the same fucking gameplay for over a decade, which look like they were made in 2004?

>>256052991
This article is fake as fuck but for discussion I'd side with Iwata without a second thought.

Shareholders are fucking retarded. None of them have any idea what exactly is going on with the smartphone field because they're a bunch of actual retards flinging their worthless MBAs around saying "EVERYTHING SMARTPHONE IS THE FUTURE EVERYTHING MUST BE ON SMARTPHONE EVEN IF IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE LONG TERM MY APINION IS GRATE". You fags who think that anything Nintendo will do for smartphones will be anything other than nostalgia-goggles cash in bullshit are completely delusional. You think Nintendo isn't putting out new IPs now? Watch as every six months a "New" Super Mario Bros Android + iOS app is released with fewer and fewer returns each time.

The smartphone bubble burst long ago and only now people are starting to get it. Look at any smartphone market: it's filled with shovelware and fishy shit. Zynga is floundering around. Every smartphone game without fail has some sort of cash shop for the sole purpose of "pay2 get stuff faster" but all of that is turning casuals away who want a quick burst of entertainment. The smartphone market is so chockfull of wasted devs it's sad, with all of them wanting to be the next lottery golden app designer like Flappy Bird was.

I will say that Nintendo's senior-citizen tier fear of net integration is appalling. They're sitting on an actual gold mine if they made Mario Party not only local multiplayer but online multiplayer.

>>256060119

Shit, Gungho released a port of Puzzle and Dragons for the 3DS, and I'm pretty sure that P&D is one of the biggest/best selling mobile games available for Gungho, one of the biggest/most profitable mobile devs around.

Also another big difference is that Capcom and Squeenix are third party devs and don't create hardware. They don't jeopardize sales of their hardware by making mobile games.

They do the same thing, beyond having an exclusive here and there, and that's all consumers care about. Especially in this day in age, if it looks pretty buy it.

If there was a current Mario game that had the graphical quality of a PS4/One then people might actually decide to buy a Nintendo console to try it out, if only because it looks pretty and it's a well known series.

The community has long since been dead.

>>256052991

Of course Mr Yamauchi's son is the real candinate for President because in Japan family ties are very important. Regardless of how Iwata performs he will be ALWAYS an outsider inside the company as that's how Japs think.

It's not n't know.necessarily a good thing, I don't know.

>>256052991
I agree with Iwata about everything but shunning online. If the Wii-U had a decent online service and more first party titles implemented online MP then it would be fucking perfect.

Imagine a world where you can get the next Zelda on the Wii U, the Xbone, or the PS4. If you could get 1st party nintendo games AND next-gen multiplats on one system, why would you buy a Wii U? It would destroy them.

>>256052991

I'm siding with Nintendo because they're right. Smartphones won and you would have to be stupid not to embrace them. They are not good for gaming yet but that's because nobody has tried to make it any good. Everyone is out there releasing free or $1 games that are purely shovelware and time wasters for 25-60 year old non gamers who need to waste a few minutes of their time. Mario is both simple and iconic and just like Nintendo can differentiate between a handheld and console game, they too can differentiate between a handheld and smartphone game. It wouldn't cost them much to do and it would be insanely popular because everyone knows who Mario is and the quality would be a thousand time greater than anything currently available on smartphones. They're literally shooting themselves in the feet because they would rather sell their shitty hardware for the sake of maintaining the 100% Nintendo experience.

This is like Apple not having Microsoft Office. Just give in already and stop making an ass out of yourself Iwata.

If this is true that's the one thing I will take issue with. Nintendo consoles are in the fucking stone age when it comes to online interactions. That's the one thing they need to fucking step their game up with.

>>256060562
Apple is also getting tired of mobile gaming as well. They can't stand anymore the fact people don't buy apps but they simply download free titles.

Ok, so you've been backing Nintendo since the GBA/GCN era, which, if I recall, was pretty abysmal for them, too. And that was also right around the time Iwata was appointed president, so you can't fall back on I TRUSTED YAMAUCHI. They certainly weren't pulling Wii/DS money then, and wouldn't be until, what, 2007? And at the time there was no rumor of them going third party or a screaming pressure from investors to GO THIRD PARTY JESUS WE NEED THE MONEY.

Why not back MS or, even better, Sony? And if you're so concerned about Nintendo not giving up on their hardware, why not just withdraw your investments and take them to another more profitable venture?

>>256060748

And to add - smartphones are seen lucrative to Jap shareholders as JUST NOW people IN Japan are starting to adapt new smartphones. The market is booming.

But their online servers are fine, especially if you consider online play is free on their consoles, as opposed to others.

>>256060562
Dude i agree with making more nintendo games multiplayer online, but mario party? The sheer amount of internet hatred and rage quitting would surpass every other online game combined. Though yeah id love to play with friends far away.

>>256060719
But do people not think that the Wii U looks fantastic as well?

Heck, I'm not trying to compare it to its competitor's graphics, but if you watch Mario Kart 8 videos and most other Wii U gameplay videos, it's like color-heaven. In some instances it's a little much, but my favorite part of Mario Kart 8 was just how well they constructed each course and how bright of a game it was.

And many of the people who would want a console because it looks pretty might just be kids who have their parents buy them everything, and I can tell you right now parents are going to be more inclined to buy their children Nintendo products over anything else for the sake of colors and age-appropriateness

If you're really an investor, you have got to be the dumbest one in history.

God forbid you ever become head of a company, you'd run it into the ground in a year with your shortsighted retarded ideas.

>Hurrr lets put all our games on other platforms instead of our own, surely that will make us money

>>256060905
It is, but they won't make niche games for the west. That market will be dead. We'll get our Metal Gears and Final Fantasies, but our YSs and Dragon Crowns will be gone forever.

>>256060463
The phone market is already saturated enough. Any nintendo game you could possibly port to a phone has been reskinned countless times by indiescum.

What will firing Iwata accomplish except for opening the door to investors gutting the company?

>>256060946
>archaic hardware
While that's true, so is Sony and Microsoft, and casuals fail to see this.

Graphics are all that matters anymore, nobody could give a shit about how well a game even plays anymore.

>>256052991
Fuck phone gaming with a knife

No, it'll never fucking happen, and if it does, I'm fucking done with gaming entirely.

Just because you don't find something fun, doesn't mean it isn't fun. Not every game has to be an autistic nostalgia-fest to be enjoyable.

>Pikmin, MHU, W101.
What exactly is "hardcore" about these games?

>SM3DW having some balls to the walls hard stages, SMBU having balls to the walls hard challenges.

There are plenty of shumps on the Xbox.

>Bayonetta 1/2 coming.
You taking the piss? This xbox/ps reject is your example of a hardcore game?

>This is the most hardcore titles a console has had this early in its life since fucking forever

How do we remove the Smartphone Shill and Neogaf cancer that is infesting /v/?

>>256061232
I'd love you to walk into pikmin threads and mention this then, because we have that shit every single time.

Then again, it's only a rehash if nintendo does it

>>256061114
A lot of people do think the Wii U is fine, but the majority of the market seems to think Nintendo has poor graphics because of it's color and cartoon like art-styles.

People want this gritty grimdark graphics that have this 'enriching and deep' story to them. They basically all want it to be a Nolan Batman film.

>>256061151
Not to mention that people will not buy apps unless they're a buck or free.
They'd have to make P2W SMB. With in game microtransactions to even earn any money.

>>256054583
because of amiibo

>have a smartphone for 3 years and a tablet for 1 year.
>uninstall every game I tried on them after 2 minutes.
>Not going back to normal cellphone which has superior typing only because of whatsapp

Will Nintendo making smartphone games change my opinion on them? Or they would make games with zero depth and soul like all other mobile games?

>>256061334
Normalfag!

>>256061335
We don't. We can't even remove threads of people complaining about SJW crap, even though /v/ constantly complains about it being everywhere.

If I remember correctly, it was a Hong Kong investor.

I'm firmly on Iwata's side, because he's fairly dedicated to not selling out, and to making new games instead of making new ways to treat customers like shit.

>>256061128
Then stop playing exclusively Eastern titles and play some Western titles, they aren't all bad, in fact, quite a lot of them are good

I love the tears and West vs east threads because people like me will sit back, enjoy the best of both sides

>>256061334

They'd try one game for an experiment, it woul dbe $60 and have depth and nobody would buy it because it's not $1.

>>256055598
nintendo consoles don't go in the same direction as the other consoles do, this is why they're not doing as well sales-wise, and this is why even if the others die, nintendo's console won't be impacted as much.

but either way you're retarded

>>256061340
It depends on the game and how much the gameplay has changed.
NSMB is a fucking rehash, since it's basically just Mario 3 in 3D. There's also 5 of them that looks exactly the same if you put them side-by-side.
Call of Duty is a rehash, since it's the same shit with microscopic changes since COD4.

I think smartphone games could be the way to go for Nintendo.

The problem there having is that their games are viewed as being for small children, that their market, and parents don't want to spend a lot of money and game systems for small children. Smartphones on the other hand, a lot of small children already have those

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PLAY MARIO WITH NO BUTTONS

>>256061541
I thought it would die out ages ago man, but it hasn't, it's only picked up.

>>256061074
>rehash

Wait, which Smash game are we up to? Which Mario Kart are we up to? Which Donkey Kong title are we up to? Which Mario platformer are we up to?


It's pretty fucking hilarious for someone to defend Nintendo games to turn around and call other games "rehashes".

Do you have no self awareness?

>>256056652

>I highly doubt they lost that much and I will need a source

2
>"losing" isn't the same as "investing"

Gaming on smartphones is so shitty. Do you guys even play ports on Android and iOS? They need to take up room on the already limited screen for a control interface, and that gets hot real quick.

They don't build these phones to last, they build them to outlast their warranty, then the touch screen begins to become unresponsive, the battery life gives 30 minutes of gaming at best.

Every day is Doomsday.

>>256061579
That Toad game would actually work.
Just let faggots pay microtransactions for lives, speedboosts etc.

Press the Shop button to buy Coins that allow you to buy Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Tanooki Suits, and other classic Mario items and characters.

>>256061232
3 games in one generation is a total rehash. At least Nintendo keeps it main series to about 1-2 games per gen. All the "rehash" shit are spinoffs and the like.

>>256061797
There's a better one that has some more stuff but yea that's a good bit of it.

>>256061334
Do you think that the so called hardcore gamers are the majority of gamers?
Most people playing video games are casuals that play COD, FIFA or 2K NBA games.

>Mario! Princess Peach has been kidnapped!
>If you want to rescue her quickly, you'll need powerups found throughout the Mushroom Kingdom!

>>256061872
>>256061828

Nice response. You sure showed me how hardcore those games were.

If they were truly business savvy wouldn't they be running their own business'?

>>256061693
By using your fingers and blocking out half the game.
I never got why people think that is a good idea.
I mean, for games where you have to constantly hold down buttons it's fucking horrible, but for SRPGs it's totally fine.(look at Xcom.)

>>256059706

the second he gets axed is the second nintendo becomes shit. mark my fucking words. shareholders are just getting pissy that their last lightning in a bottle console didn't happen twice. nintendo's far from going bankrupt, they're just mad that they're not moving as fast as before, which was basically on fucking cheatcodes

You have to be completely retarded to compare the entire lifetime of a console to the two first years of another

>>256061334
>Whats hardcore about w101

Are you one of those guys that thinks because it looks childish it must be casual?

Wonderful 101s biggest issue with the scummy reviewers was that it was interesting and challenging when they just wanted a walking sim. The game gets so hard and combo based towards the end, and hard mode and 101% make it the hardest game of 2013.

Oh but why am i replying. This whole thread is a console war circle jerk and your just being contradictory.

>>256062134
No it wouldn't. They are there to give money. They aren't the brains, though.

>>256061797

Do you have the one from some electronics magazine that was like "if Nintendo seriously plans to come to the west with a home video game console, they're probably going to be dead on arrival"
