Midee posted:Not really? The last game I bought was SM3DL in November 2011. So a year and nine months, give or take a few days. Better? Well buckle up, a poo poo ton of excellent games have come out for 3DS and more are in the pipeline. Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Animal Crossing are pretty excellent titles. Or did you not buy games for some reason other reason?

I said come in! posted:Do we have any actual numbers on this? Cause as far as I know this isn't true. Software sales for Nintendo were actually pretty awful in comparison. This is why Nintendo was banking on bringing in the hardcore crowd with the Wii U. Their core audience on the Wii, for all intents and purposes was totally useless to Nintendo. Lots of them, but they weren't buying software in the numbers Nintendo wanted. I definitely saw an article with more recent numbers but I'm at work so its hard for me to find it. This is the next best thing but a bit outdated. http://www.ign.com/articles/2008/01/24/wii-tie-ratio-at-81-in-december If I get a chance, I'll look for the more recent article. It talked about wii's attach rate that suddenly dropped off in the last years of the consoles life.

I said come in! posted:Well that for sure goes against everything i've heard. That seems like a pretty impressive number, and the drop off at the end of the consoles life is not unexpected. Wouldn't hold that against the Wii, just a fact of a new console coming out. It'll happen to the 360 and PS3 as well. Yeah, I know its a bit  but theres a lot of misinformation about the Wii as a brand and nintendo. In fact Emily Rogers wrote a whole article about how one of the major issues with nintendo right now is they have been fighting bad press.

CapnAndy posted:Is "Oh, that's the thing that I play Wii Sports/Wii Fit on, does it still do that, good, okay then why would I buy that weird tablet accessory" somehow better? We were talking about who won the last generation of consoles though? I get that the Wii was the least appealing console to the hardcore gamer but it did have an 8:1 attach rate for a significant period of time. Anyone who thinks the Wii didn't win is just as delusional as anyone who thinks the Wii U is doing fine. Also that Gamasutra article was the one I was looking for earlier. It tells us basically what we've already known: The Wii was lightning in a bottle that sold a ton of systems and games and then everyone forgot about it during the last year of its life. The article is actually much better at showing the comeback sony made than the failings of the Wii. There was some data somewhere (again, I'm at work) that compared the 1st and 3rd party attach rate for the wii and the 3rd party rate was worse as well.

Barudak posted:Lack of digital download titles for the DS? Once you bought Monster Hunter/Animal Crossing it's all over for you? That rate will change. A new zelda is coming out for the 3DS  Although don't handheld Zeldas do generally worse than console Zeldas? Or am I just imagining this because I never buy handheld Zeldas.

Yeah I think some of you just don't like Zelda games frankly. SS was a weak Zelda, but it was still a pretty good game. E: I know how to save the Zelda Franchise! I will make it a completely different game! Bread Set Jettison fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Sep 9, 2013 |

sethsez posted:So how many Zelda games does someone have to like before it's accepted that they actually like the series? And why is it seemingly accepted wisdom now that the dungeons were always the best and only reason to play the games? 4, and obviously in the Zelda fan website. Saying "I wish Zelda was less about dungeons and more about (other gameplay thing)" is a legit criticism of SS that I'm not trying to downplay. What I'm saying is "You know what would make zelda better? If I played a different game" doesn't really mean anything. Everybody is acting like the franchise is dead and its 100% not dead. Also team ICO would make the most majestic artistic Zelda ever and now I want it.

TaurusOxford posted:This is like saying if people don't like Other M then they don't like Metroid. SS was a bad game - unreliable controls, lovely dungeon items, a sidekick even MORE annoying than Navi, an overworld that made Wind Waker's ocean packed with content by comparison, recycled dungeons and bosses, and a villian even dumber than Zant from TP. Well think about it this way: If Other M was not part of a franchise with a long history would it still be a bad game? Yes. lovely gameplay, terrible main character who apparently is fine fighting the big bad once but the third time she does she shits herself, THE BABY and so on. If Skyward Sword was not part of a franchise with a long history would it still be a bad game? I'd argue no. If it wasn't compared to everyones favorite Zelda, it would have been a solid B+. Since some people can't figure out waggle technology, it had more odds stacked against it. I'm probably in the minority of people who played SS, but I don't think it was that bad of a game. It was a decent game, but there are better games in the franchise.

TaurusOxford posted:I'd still argue yes. All of the problems I listed with SS would still exist even if you slapped another skin over the Zelda one. Fi was terrible, and the sky was empty as poo poo. I'm a huge weirdo and I really enjoyed retracing old zones to find new stuff. Also I had zero issues with the waggle. The villian wasn't THAT bad. The final reveal about him being a sword like Fi was cool. Not every game is for everybody v  v

When Wii U party gets released they should bundle it with the system, and include the Free trials of Wii sports HD and Fit pre installed. That would be a real attractive system for a casual consumer I think.

TaurusOxford posted:Who are you trying to kid? No amount of dumb fitness games or mini-game compilations is going to attract casual gamers to the WiiU. They don't even know it EXISTS, and even if they did, why would they spend 300 dollars minimum on something that's going to collect just as much dust as their Wii? They would buy the newest Wii Sports/Fit/Party for the the same reason people buy remakes and sequels? Its really not that complicated. All Nintendo has to do is advertise it, which seems to be their biggest issue.

Suspicious Dish posted:Let's do this poo poo. If the Wii U makes more money than it cost Nintendo by the end of 2015, then ban my account. I don't care how you count it (development expenses vs. sales for first-party titles being included or not), as long as they recover from the horrible losses they've been seeing as part of Wii U. Lol ok but you gotta include game sales, The Wii U is being sold at a loss.
