Why does Nintendo suck now?

[Stokanator]

You're totally wrong Nintendo is still very much relevant and still hold tight to the popularity of the younger age groups and I don't see that changing anytime soon. They still have a lot of cool ideas and can be fun affordable systems.

someone's gotta make games for kids tho.

I'm not against that, but that's all they do.

I don't find Nintendo fun anymore. Like another poster said, they are just gimmicky.

They found their niche and are sticking to it. The hardcore gaming market is taken and there's no way in hell Nintendo can compete with giant corporations like MS and Sony on that front. They've been pushed out of that market and trying to cling on would just cause them to crash and burn.

It's like music, just because somebody didn't like it and a fraction of forum posters agreed upon it, doesn't mean it sucks or not making any profit. Like Korn on the other thread, posters downplayed them but they are still headlining arena tours worldwide

that's all true, but really, Nintendo was ALWAYS making sillier games. It's not like they were making adult games and got a make-over.

too much E rated titles. They are not going toe 2 toe with the other consoles in terms of graphs and power. Snes was a beast of a console back in the day, only the ps1 out powered it and as soon as that happened the n64 came up and did shit all over the ps1 in terms of power and graphics. They did ok with the gamecube though they should have came up with more and better games.... and a better controller. They totally fucked up with the wii though, that's where they lost me as a fan. Horrendous graphics and titles. They need to wake the fuck up and realize that they need to come up with a monster console with all kinds of games(mostly m), screw the kids, they play mature games anyway(my 6 year old nephew is obsessed with bioshock). That's how you go toe 2 toe with xbox and playstation.

gamecube didnt do as good as they thought it would do,probably cause the disk was too small to add things to it so the games were weak.

Wait are you implying that the mario remake machine was ever good?

 

[UFCfightman**]

their biggest mistake was missing the disc transition and sticking with cartridge in N64

Sony was originally signed up to develop a disc based system for nintendo. Then Nintendo balked at the idea, sony developd PS1, and Nintendo never really recovered

I'm not a gamer at all, but I thought my friend's Wii U was pretty fun. The fact that it was able to pull me in says something.

They haven't had a really great game since the super smash for gamecube.

Everything since then has been mediocre, especially skyward sword, the most overrated game of all time.

Nobody wants to use a fucking stick and jump around and all that shit!!! It sucks, its boring, and I honestly don't know anyone with a Wii anymore.
Nintendo has a retarded fanbase that will buy whatever crap they put out and eat it up like its honey. I don't get it.

Make games, with a normal goddamn control, as well as games that use the stupid fucking wiimote garbage.
That way, people who aren't ridiculous can enjoy those games too.

I love Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, all those characters/games/franchises but I cannot stand this stupid wii-mote fucking bullshit! Any game nintendo makes that you can't use a gamecube controller for sucks. Period. Let us have our cake and eat it too. Give us a controller that makes sense, that is fluid and not glitchy as hell because you have to have it lined up with a sensor, give us that and games to play that have our favorite characters, like DK, Link, Kirby, Mario - they can still be kids games - just don't make them suck!

 

[Blackdanger***]

Old school Nintendo was the shit.

fuck yes. best music ever

 

[CrazyN8]

As long as they keep making Zelda im in.

 

[vorpalraddish]

After getting stomped during the PS2 era they found there's more money and less competition tapping the casual gamer market.

 

[Jimmy Needles]

I still remember fanboys saying playstation would drive nintendo out of business....and that was 15 years ago LOL

 

[TheSauce]

they need to step their game up. nineleventho

Pretty much sums up my opinion on the wiimotes. Fucking retarded idea. I love the classic lines but I'll never play them with that motion sensor shit.

Also, Twilight Princess was the last good Zelda game. Windwaker and Skyward Sword sucked balls.

I always hated the wii, but I bought one for my younger stepbrothers and they've enjoyed the shit out of it.

The Wii rocks but the wii 2 sucks ass. The wii 2 tablet controller is too big and bulky, cant imagine playing with it for a long time without getting serious hand cramps. The new functionality does not deliver fun and the improvement on graphics is sub par. I understand they wanted to beat their 2 biggest competitors in the console market by putting out a product first but they should have waited and deliver something truly groundbreaking.
