Nintendo Gets an A...for Effort

"Oh, Nintendo. They try so hard to please their fans, but after a lackluster presentation and very little new information from all of E3, I’m left feeling very disappointed. It’s true that Nintendo beat out Sony and Microsoft at this year’s E3—but is that really saying a lot when the other two big companies had presentations that were monotonous and even boring?"

" It’s true that Nintendo beat out Sony and Microsoft at this year’s E3"

Well it was better than Microsoft's.

MasterCornholio4354d ago

Like they said in a podcast

" It has been proven that 360 owners spend more time using services on their console like Netflix, ESPN etc then playing games"

The same was true about Microsofts conference that it was focused on services and not games.

Hence one of the reasons why i dumped my 360 for a PS3 (kinect was one as well).

"It’s true that Nintendo beat out Sony and Microsoft at this year’s E3"

I've seen a lot of people on this site say the nintendo conference was so bad it put them off buying a Wii U. In fact it was so bad that nintendo's shares dropped afterwards. And Sony's rose funnily enough. But that might be why most people said Sony won.

"nintendo's shares dropped afterwards"

well that always happens when you show new hardware, but yeah the conference sucked. Still don't know what they were thinking with that conference. Did they just sit back and say "hmmm, I'm sure people will like this" I mean where was their core franchises? But I'm beating a dead horse at this point, I'm sure nintendo got the point with the negative feedback from fans.

live2play4354d ago

yes the nintendo conference did fail massivley but its not the reason stocks dropped, STOCKS ALWAYS DROP after nintendo unveils a new system, they say so themselves

and you cant use N4G as proof nintendo sucked, because even if they didnt suck(which they did)
HERE IN SONY CENTRAL aka n4g, people STILL wouldnt admit nintendo won

i mean nintendo killed in 2010 yet people here STILL wouldnt admit it

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
