KT:Nintendo has to compete with two more machines this fall, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, both launching in November. It's part of Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime's job description to be unfazed by that. Here's his take on the pending competition:
Show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced that PAX West 2023 will have a keynote speaker famous within the gaming industry.
Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling. The dude is a true hustler.
Recent stats show that VR will be niche for years to come. Here's why VR gaming shouldn't be afraid to be niche.
My wife who generally hates games has taken over my PS5 for last couple days to play PSVR2 when she is home . Now I have to go get another PS5 at least .
From VGC: "Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé has cautioned fans not to expect further releases in the Earthbound series in the near future.
Mother – or Earthbound, as it’s known in the West – saw its third instalment released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan over 15 years ago, but despite persistent requests from fan groups it has never received an official English release.
The Earthbound series received renewed attention in February after Nintendo announced that both Earthbound and its predecessor Earthbound Beginnings (aka Mother) would be added to Switch Online’s SNES and NES apps."
He would happily suggest buying a NFT of Ness though. Thank God he is a semi-retired mouthpiece.
"I think consumers buy hardware because of the experiences they can have on them. That's why, for us, having a strong holiday line-up is so critically important."
So why haven't you being doing this for the last year.
""Systems that generate pretty pictures by themselves aren't selling propositions," he said, "and all you need to do is look at the last generation to see the evidence. And that's true whether you look at the home console space or the handheld space. It's not about the graphics by itself. It's about the entire experience."
True, I agree to a point. But things still have to look "cool". That is how advertising works. Show something that plays "cool" looking things and it will sell. Explosions are cool to a lot of people. Pretty looking things are cool to a lot of people.
I thinks Wii U has a nicer Holiday lineup than ps4 and x1. Im interested in literally every game. Still all the consoles look pretty great. May the best game system win!
so what was the wii u? :/ because that hasnt seemed to have sold all to well... if they talk about experiences then sure they have games but a lot of people want infamous, they want dead rising, so just because you have mario doesnt mean nobody wants to play other games.
Not quite sure Nintendo should be giving advice to MS and Sony right now....
fanboys in coming
