@Fo_Fai It is at least a step in a different direction. Trying something different as opposed to doing the same crap over and over again.
If developers build with the input device in mind then there's a good chance of some interesting work being done. If they simply adapt what is already made and repeat that style again then sure they'll be nothing but a gimmick.
So developers complain that there isn't diversity in titles. Then they complain that they can't make the same drivel they've already been making.
Make up you minds.
While I've no plans to buy Nintendo's next release it'll be interesting to see titles make use of the changes that they've made and incorporated. Who knows what developers that make use of the features could come up with?
If there wasn't going to be yet another Call of Duty if they'd stuck to their guns it'd hardly be a shame...
Bad customers! How dare they complain and want what they paid for and were advertised! Bad!
The free dlc is a plaster to try and mollify the anger. Hardly a shift in PR approach.
If you enjoyed it, that's wonderful. Really! It is. Some of us however would rather have the product we paid for and were advertised based on expectations from previous titles.
@deathstream Perhaps not downhill but the odd belief that people have that they are some magical, wonderful entity that can never fail is puzzling.
If they spent less time playing pr games with customers and more time making content, refining it and pulling their collective head out of their arse *cough* ME3 *cough* then maybe they'd be in a better position.
Is anyone else puzzled as to why the market people (though not in this article so much) are confused that people aren't spending as much on entertainment when it's a downturn economy... As if we dare to have the cheek to not fork out £30-50 for their latest time waster.
They're games, luxury entertainment... not exactly an essential (which are increasing in price_
