The Online Party – Why Nintendo still fails even if it succeeds

AATG writes:

"I'm a big Nintendo fan, I have been for many years. Even when I was a little ZX Spectrum fanboy I coveted my next-door neighbour's NES (even though he only had one game – the woeful Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles). My house is full of Nintendo memorabilia, Nintendo consoles, failed Nintendo gimmicks (Four Swords adventure anyone? No?), and most importantly the games. Lots of their lovely games. But how I consume my games now has been changed entirely to a way I find exciting, rewarding and fits better to my lifestyle. It feels like even if Nintendo succeed by selling millions of units, they'll still fail in the eyes of some gamers like myself. Here, let me use a terrible and long-winded metaphor to explain."

This was the worst analogy I heard in my 19 years of living on this planet.

Lol, I guess people are disagreeing with you just because you're Mika. XD

But you're right, this article is one of the stupidest things I've ever read in my life.

Mr. All About The Games, what you've just published is one of the most insanely idiotic articles I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent diatribe were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in the internet is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

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.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga5d 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

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.

Stevonidas5d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

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

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.
