Myths of Hardcore Nintendo Fans

One of the biggest factors affecting the Nintendo Wii's library is the longstanding assumption among publishers that Nintendo fans don't buy third-party games. And it's an assumption Bitmob has fought against for years. In their opinion, the limits of what core Nintendo fans will buy has never been definitively charted, and it's still an issue to this day.

If they weren't buying thrid party games, then RE 4 & UC wouldn't have sold a million. It's third parties faults for not advertising their games the right way. But yet we can hear "it's Nintendo's fault for not supporting third parties", even though it's the publisher's job. 7_7

How can nintendo owners be expected to support third-party wii games when the third parties do their best to make the games as subpar as they can. Good games sell well on wii. That is slowly being proven to be true. Developers have to stop looking at first week sales as a games ultimate indicator to success and see long term numbers are more important.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
