Nintendo: Free Games Do Not Give Consumers Exceptional Fun

Nintendo believes that dedicated gaming platforms, including Wii, Nintendo 3DS and the forthcoming Wii U, are unworthy of existence unless their games provide exceptional fun for consumers, according to company president Satoru Iwata.

Title doesn't match with what was said but i agree. Ill take bf3, Sr the third and may over farmville everyday and yes if the games aren't fun and don't set themselves apart from free games consumers wont b interested.

1st off jr, i dont troll or defend anything.. I have no allegiance to ANY of the companies.. I been playing games since 1983 & u were prolly a spermie @ that time... I own ALL nintendo products ever released from NES to now including handhelds.. Just because i voice my opinion on what I dont like from them its trolling to u? Who are u? Sony effs up to me too & the only reason i prefer them is cuz they get ALL multiplats & have a strong network unlike nintendo.. But nintendo has the most fulfilling & beautifully crafted 1st party games than anyone else to me..

I am a gamer that owns ALL consoles.. Liking one over the other is just reality.. Everyone has a preferred system.. PS3>Wii>360 to me just like PS2>GC>XBOX was & the list continues.. Nintendo hasnt been #1 since SNES to me & i hope that changes but from what ive seen, played, & read about wii u, its not the case.. Check yourself cuz not everyone thinks the same way u do. Wii U articles are all over the place so of course im going to comment.. I dont look for em just to say negative things if u read my posts.. Dont like what i have to say? Dont read it n mind your business

WiiUalpha4189d ago

Sure kid im going to believe u. If u cant handle it then don't post history cry when ppl see u t rolling and point it out. I cant believe u actually typed all that out when u proved yourself a troll long ago. Why aren't u off telling ppl to give vita and its ports a chancellor claiming ports on Wii u prove its not worth owning ? Or trying to convince ppl no other pub wanted bayonets and thats the only reason Nintendo for the game. Lol u really r pathetic. If u cant handle being called out then don't post but I as answer hate when fanboys like u have an obvious agenda but think we r all too stupid to see. Ur comment history esp during Wii u conferences is proof enough who u really support

Thepcz4190d ago

i will prove their theory wrong

Ilovetheps54190d ago

If you read the article, the quote was comparing it to mobile games. They misquoted him in the title. He basically said that mobile games cannot provide the fun that a game on 3DS can. And I would have to agree. A 99 cent game on cell phones does not provide nearly as much fun as most games on the 3DS.

PopRocks3594190d ago

The quote is out of context. He's referring to cheap mobile games when he refers to "free games."

Thepcz4190d ago

who cares, my reply is funny

ronin4life4190d ago (Edited 4190d ago )

@Thepcz
Yeah, it is actually. ^,^;;
Lol. ^0^/

Hicken4190d ago

Actually, your reply to PopRocks is funnier, for some reason.

rulakir4190d ago

I believe this to be true in the sense that to really have fun in game I like to have "what we in the future call buttons". Playing games with a controller is so much better.

MegaLagann4190d ago

Free games are fun, too bad fun is an optional item that costs two dollars.

jakmckratos4190d ago

Yeah but then again neither are side scrollers. Especially when their almost a re-hash of the previous games. Boom roasted

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos12h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto12h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8811h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z5014d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga4d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos4d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas4d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj4d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger3d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
