Yes, just look at this. It's insane.


Buried in reams of financial data is the revelation that Nintendo have 812.8 billion Yen (£6.7/$10.5 billion) in the bank - enough for it to take a 20 billion Yen loss (£163/$257 million) every year until 2052. Then there's almost 469 billion Yen (£3.8/$6.0 billion) held in premises, equipment and investments. When that runs out - we're in the year 2075 by this point - they've got some of the most valuable intellectual property in gaming to sell off before the company goes out of business.

Quoting every ****** analyst that thought the Wii would fail "But Nintendo are doomed!"

And quoting the same analysts not understanding why Mario sold over 25 million copies "It's them casuals and that nostalgia effect"

Some people STILL look at the Wii as a failure, when in fact it was very successful.

What does Nintendo think about 'used games'?


If devs are worried about used game sales, they should make better games


What Nintendo's legendary game designer says about game ownership...


Miyamoto told Eurogamer that he thought games, like a physical toy, should remain the property of their owner.


"What's really important is viewing Nintendo almost like a toy company where we're making these things for people to play with," he said. "As a consumer you want to be able to keep those things for a long time and have those things from your youth that you can go back to and experience again."

And this:




I'm soooooo happy to be a 3DS owner. We 3DS owners are totally getting spoiled by Nintendo this year (and the next one). 

November 11th according to this.

Are you implying that shooters and sport games, which both have a very immature audience of teenage kids and dudebro gamers, are mature?

Nintendo is more mature than that.


Immature kids play CoD and Fifa (and think it's really mature and cool).

Mature adults play Nintendo.

People have been saying Nintendo is doomed since the N64, ya I don't need to finish that sentence.

[Ravensword]

Nintendo has made some of iffy console design decisions since N64--the N64 being the decision to stick to catridges instead of going for CDs.

Nintendo will be fine.

Sure, sure. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo is mostly played by adults where as CoD and Fifa are mostly played by teenage kids. Case in point: you.

If there is one thing I have learned is that it's never a good idea to sleep on Nintendo. Honestly, I think they really have screwed the pooch with the Wii U given the cons the OP has mention. Then again I'm not willing to write it off entirely. Knowing Nintendo, they'll bounce back. With many people put off by the price of the new consoles there is opportunity here for them. I know I'd like to pick one up myself eventually as Nintendo exclusives typically are some of the best. Can't really say the same about the competition though.

Some people STILL look at the Wii as a failure, when in fact it was very successful.

The Wii's success was attributed to the fact that it appealed to non-gamers, people who won't bother changing console generations as they see no point to.

Whenever I visit relatives who mocked my gaming habits, they've got a Wii stashed under their cupboard with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, they have no interest in switching to Wii U since they've got everything they could potentially want from the console. The fact that Wii Sports--a glorified tech demo--became the best selling game of all time is discouraging.

Whether or not Wii is successful is largely irrelevant, Nintendo's Wii U woes can be attributed to it's predecessors "success" ignoring the core Nintendo fanbase in favor of non-gamers. It doesn't help either that Nintendo is notorious for trademarking technology in their consoles preventing third party developers from creating anything decent.

This is why I really feel they have dropped the ball. Nintendo keeps digging themselves into a hole but they do manage to climb out of it somehow. I seriously doubt the Wii U will be a success though. The Wii U is more like the Wii 1.5 as opposed to an actual next gen system. Nintendo forcing third party developers to utilize thier trademark technology doesn't help things either.

Still, I game mostly on PC so I see no need for a PS4 or that tacky ornamental doorstopper so I figure if I were to get a new console it would be the Wii U. Also the only way some people could get another Wii controller was to buy that glorified tech demo. I recall seeing controllers everywhere packaged with that thing but not just the controllers themselves.

I'm not sure there is a market of games genuinely aimed at an adult audience, the M rating is kind of a joke.

Heavy Rain comes to mind.

That game is M rated if I'm not mistaken and it's most certainly not childish or aimed at teenagers or "trying too hard". Heavy Rain is genuinely a mature game aimed at an mature audience.

Same thing can be said of The Witcher, though I know few will disagree due to the sex-cards in the first game and the sex-scenes in the 2nd game, which indeed might appear a bit as "teenager's wish-fulfilment".

The glorified tech-demo actually comes for free with every new Wii controller. Just look at the price and see for yourself. You only pay for the controller, not the game tech-demo.
