this post is honestly based on my anger and frustration with this company rather than me trying to be outrageous. I'm starting to think I'm growing tired of nintendo and their stuck in past approach to gaming . I'm not trying to be a troll here because honestly a good chunk of my best gaming experiences have been on nintendo consoles but i think other developers have seriously surpassed nintendo in terms of storytelling and gameplay since the early 2000's and excuses are constantly made for them because of child like brand loyalty . that whole nintendo magic touch thing is kind of getting played out to me. there have been 8 mario karts lol enough already . super smash was so beloved now its just the same ol game with better graphics and feels like a soulless remake that pays homage to a game of the past . etc. i could go on and on .
nintendo has become a company that will use the same franchises to appeal to a new generation of younger kids that they used to appeal to us . its lame and its obviously not working as well as it should be.and honestly thats fine but where are new ip, maybe hire some new fresh devs that are willing to make more mature new ip that aren't ultra violent but still have the magical nintendo touch to them with a cool endearing story and cool new setting besides the goddamn mushroom freaking kingdom! they have no idea how to cater to fans that have been with them since the beginning and have given them all the money that has made them as big as they are and thats what bothers me the most. this company has no idea how to evolve and cater to multiple crowds . they call themselves innovators and imo they are the polar opposite of that . the only thing they innovate on is a new stupid controller everytime around now because wii was a big success . now they see how fickle those consumers were now they are begging for their fans of the past to help bail them out. everyone needs to stop feeling so bad for this company . they have become so maticulous and calculated and thats why people have lost interest in them . they are at their best when they are risk takers (software wise) . ok we get it you want to appeal to kids .think about it mario kart 8 , a new smash bros , new fire emblem , new pokemon followed by remakes , zelda etc. its all crap we've seen before . if we were to apply this to movies and their sequels they would be straight to dvd at this point. nintendo you are boring ! what the hell happened you!
maybe they should realize they have fans that aren't 10 years old too ! MATURE DOESNT HAVE TO MEAN ITS GTA OR FREAKING MANHUNT. honestly there a lot of smart people there but thEY have no idea how to cater to their fans of the past and their new fans and its a damn shame! i love you nintendo and hopefully you could reinvent yourself . STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE NAME OF YOUR FREAKING SYSTEM AND WHAT THE CONTROLLER LOOKS LIKE AND THE STUPID NEW GIMMICK YOU COULD SLAP ON IT . GIVE US A REGULAR FREAKING CONTROLLER . THAT XBONE CONTROLLER IS LOVELY !!! TAKE THE RISKS ON YOUR SOFTWARE!!! MAKE A SYSTEM WITH GRAPHICS THAT ARENT 10 YEARS OLD AND SPEND SOME OF THAT MONEY ON SOME NEW IP!!!!!!! WAKE THE F UPPPPPPP!
i mean honestly they put out multiple iterations of the same franchises constantly . obviously mario and pokemon are good as a friendly themed game but take zelda for example . your telling me they cant put of a more accessible approach out for the younger players , and a nice new fresh more mature , deeper story zelda for the more experienced players . your telling me people haven't been clamoring for something like that . even pokemon . leave the accessible pokemon on the handheld and a pokemon with more complexity as far as rpg elements go and etc . for the console?!
ahhhh that felt good , sorry about that . this was more of a venting kind of thing than a post . I'm sure most people will not read this whole thing and thats ok. I'm sure people will disagree with me . and i know i trashed beloved ip but there has to be some type of balance. then maybe id appreciate the mario karts and smash bros a lil more . they're getting played out because thats all there is . i no it seems silly that I'm crying to this huge corporation on this obscure gaming forum but whatever . i had to share my frustration
