Why do you think there's like no games coming out for the Wii but they're releasing the N3Ds this year.

C'mon. Little common sense here.

They've had plenty of time to create new franchises. And they have the money too. But Nintendo lacks creativity these days. They're not what they once were.

ChickeyCantor4848d ago

err...
Why is that when some company is in bizz over 20 years, suddenly considered "less creative these days".

Enlighten us on how they were in the past? Considering that they used most franchises back then as well.

Third parties had plenty of time to show their creativity, Nintendo gives them this time. And yet there are only few who are able to give a good collection of games.

If Nintendo is less creative these days, so are third parties then.

And there are new IP's, how about you look further than the mario/zelda

theonlylolking4848d ago

Only super mario galaxy 1 and metroid other M are new and creative. All the other games they have is just the same thing over and over again just like pokemon on the portable nintendo consoles have been for ages. They will release the 3ds but there wont be really anything new. It will be the same games we ahve been playing for more than a decade. Its like activision having there own console and keep releasing the same stuff over and over again. Like guitar hero, call of duty, blur, and the apache game and decades go by yet people will still buy it.

I think after Zelda and Rhythm Heaven they're done with the Wii. I wouldn't be surprised if they released the Wii 2 at the end of this year.

Seferoth754848d ago

Yes NIntendo is completely done... LOL kids today.

Just because they didnt have to delay most of their games like Sony did hardly means they have nothing left but you fanboys live in your on little world. One where being last place makes you first and having record sales means you are doomed

PlayerX4848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

I remember people on N4G a few weeks ago saying Nintendo should just make portables. This is why fanboys are not in business.

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.

Profchaos3h 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

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?

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

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
