Do you even know how stupid you look with that Call Of Duty comment? Rendering them useless once the sequel is out? Have you at least played them to test this theory? Just 2 days ago i played both Modern Warfare 1 & 2 online and I had no problem being placed in matches of any mode in less than 5 seconds on both games. Next time better check your theories instead of just assuming and lying in the process. Metroid? One of the few franchises , alongside Pikmin and F-Zero , that are good and not milked. Quality games? That's debatable. And I think it doesn't take an engineer to figure out I meant the fact Nintendo have the same formula they had in the 90s.
Generalize the 3DS audience? I'm not doing that. I just stated what the majority of the 3DS audience is , but you're forgetting that majority doesn't equal everyone. While it's true that the 3DS is doing well this is because it had some timed exclusives that were a system seller , but those are now getting better ports to other consoles , rendering the 3DS library a multipatform one. Meanwhile the Vita doesn't have a library as big due to a 1 year time gap , but at least it's mostly unique - consisting of either spinoffs or cannon games of great series or of new games that can start successful series.
Pokemon? You're forgetting that Pokemon does the same thing CoD does. It has the sae formula since the 80s and with each installment it adds just small improvements , if it adds at all. The Pokemon and CoD games are successful because the first titles were great and every sequel had the same formula with minor or major improvements. People get very hypocritical when defending Pokemon.
While I do agree that Nintendo creates quality games , they also create bad games and their formulas are unchanged since the 90s , with some exceptions of course. The DS is a great system for RPGs and some other genres and it was a great system. Same goes for it's competitor the PSP which had a rough start , but now has a huge library of great & original games , mostly RPGs. The 3DS is doing well , but for how long if third party titles are only timed exclusives? Another reason for the 3DS's success is because it offers low end tech - in terms of power and visuals , not of features - for a small price , compared to it's competitor , the Vita , who offers power for a bigger price.
The 3DS sells because everyone can afford it , but a direct comparison between the 2 handhelds is not advisable considering the 1 year gap of sales , games and time to put a price cut.
Nintento have to add another joy stick/thumb stick to the 3DS since that accessory is a rip-off.
Another reason why Nintendo has a big fanbase is because they are the only ones from the 80s and 90s who are still making handhelds today , the other company being Sony who started in 2000s.
Long time fans & nostalgia are a reason why Nintendo sells. I do agree that their accomplishments helped the gaming community , but people tend to hype them too much and defend them blindly or consider them to be supreme.
In the end they are just a game company , just like the rest.
That's a bad stereotype that is wrong on so many levels. Just because you were unlucky or blind to play only bad spinoffs , it doesn't mean even the slightest a huge portion of them are bad/
I think your comment is one of a blind fanboy. And just to be clear , read the comment again as there was no direct comparison between CoD and TW , but between the retarded reaction of the community.
I'm more interested in Dragon Age than Withcer. Witcher is good , but not that good as people make it sound. It's like with Call Of Duty at the start of the Modern Warfare trilogy. People hype it too much.
Because most of those who buy the 3DS are people who want either something cheap for their kids , Pokemon , Atlus games or people who have supported Nintendo since the NES mainly buying Nintendo for nostalgia. The way COD is milked is nothing compared to how Nintendo milks 1 character alone. Pokemon , Mario , Metroid. Yeah , they had some great games , but NIntendo is stuck in the past. People will eventually wake up and realize this.
