SilverShadowX Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't understand why so many people think that nintendo is doomed. If anything many people will consider the Wii as a cheaper alternative to the Xbox 360 or PS3. Personally, I'm thinking about going for a Wii to hold me over on the long trip to the PS3's price drop (puns are fun...). Also many of the titles sort of have that attention getting kind of thing going. For one, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to have Solid Snake. I regard this as a godly feat made by Nintendo because the MGS series is one of my favorite and they finally broke the first-party only barrier that they had established in SSB and SSBM. Also, some of the games coming up seem to have a more mature theme. Is there a darker side to Nintendo? I dunno, maybe we should all think about for a bit. On a lighter note, "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" is one of my favorite things to say because my life is a roller coaster. Boy was that cheesy.... .... WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

Tiberiu911 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have never been a strong supporter of Nintendo, owning an Xbox and all... I do find the ''Wii'' name relativly stupid and ear hurting, like most people, but I find theyr gameplay FANTASTIC! They will have lots of kids games as always, horrible graphiques comparet to other consoles, but at least, an original gameplay. The other day, I saw a trailler of some japanesse guy playing a sword game and zelda on the wii, and it sure looked fun :) . Belive it or not, Wii will attract alot of new and young gamers. Although im not so sure about its succes in the mid-teen and adulthood marked, since, theyr games are just lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karkarinus Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is there a darker side to Nintendo? IMO the problem is that Nintendo never falls to the Dark Side. They always fall to the cheesy, Telly-Tubby side, and leave us lot out in the cold. I've probably said this before, but the days of games like Shadowman, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark - or even Eternal Darkness - have long gone.

Evangelion_2014 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 IMO the problem is that Nintendo never falls to the Dark Side.

I've probably said this before, but the days of games like Shadowman, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark - or even Eternal Darkness - have long gone. That's true from a marketing/sales prospective but I would buy their games no matter how much kiddie shell they have coating it. However, a big problem is that they are trying too hard reach people that won't usally play video games in the first place. By trying to come up with a user-friendly contraption, they focus to much on the way you play games not the games themselves(awesome games[zelda, perfect dark, mario] have always been nintendo's strength, but their small market share is due to their "kiddie" games and not having enough breakaway games). I have never been a strong supporter of Nintendo, owning an Xbox and all... I do find the ''Wii'' name relativly stupid and ear hurting, like most people, but I find theyr gameplay FANTASTIC!

Although im not so sure about its succes in the mid-teen and adulthood marked, since, theyr games are just lame. "Kid's games" or not nintendo has made some of the greatest games out there. Super Mario bros may have been "kiddie" but nobody can deny it's place in gaming history. Also, graphics have nothing to do with the quality of a game. The attitude placing too much attention on graphics is what is ruining the gaming industry today. Industries pour tons of money into making pretty, but ultimately crappy games. And what do you mean by "lame"? Are you saying that just because you can't pull the intestines out using havok physics and then dance around in a sea of blood while it rains shell casings? The game it self is what's important, not what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 After watching this, I think I need a Wii... http://stage6.divx.com/G4TV/show_video/1031613 Simple Observation you can go to electric shops supermarkets here youll see PS3 even discounted XBox 360 on the shelves with dust. The Wii is still being grabbed as soon as come in none are on the shelves Nintendo have greatly understimated demand maybe hype etc but they certainly in japan at least having much greater sucess than sony. And the Graphics are far from bad its like the old Hi Fi arguments at a certain level though the specs are much different your ears cant tell the difference.

Why aren’t they making more?Because the Wii is in such high demand that as soon as a store gets a shipment, they're already off the shelves. Nintendo hit gold with this.
