>reggie hating otakus

My respect for Reggie just doubled

bump!

>>118242498
I don't have a problem with that either, but hating core gamers? so this guy doesn't care if the company stops making a lot of money just because he thinks Nintendo can survive by just selling shovelware? they got their boom but now they are losing ground to the more casual market and the smartphones.

He basically spits on the face of the formerly loyal fanbase.

>>118242798
focusing on the core near killed them with the n64/gamecube

>>118242909

that is all

>>118242909

Ummm...explain to me how gamecube/n64 was catering to core gamers?

>>118242296
whoa, that's very sad

but just in case I'm gonna ask for sauce

>>118242909
That was because they had their stupid non-violence policy, they lifted it after the damage on the N64 was done, there was barely 1 or 2 games per year for the N64 and lots of them were shit cuz Nintendo decided to patent the C button camera controls, seriously, people lost faith in Nintendo with the N64, the NGC was good, but they still had the N64 stigma to deal with, also... Mario Party.

>>118242909
I think you underestimate how well N64 and arguably GC did. There was never even remotely the risk of either console killing Nintendo.

That said, I have the Wii, and Zelda is my first game in over a year for it. N64 and GC had so many awesome games through their entire lifespan in comparison.

>basically Reggie hates core gamers

This part is fucking wrong seeing as how he pushed for F-Zero GX

>>118242498
This. There's no such thing as a hardcore console gamer, so basically these otakus are just pathetic little shits that nobody should respect.

>>118243368
Remember that the Wii is what, 6 years old now?

The Gamecube lasted from 2003 to... 2007?

>>118242909
What nearly killed them on the gamecube was having a weaker library vs the playstation int heir home territory and abroad.

>>118243610

>>118243473
Nevertheless I bought more games during the N64's lifespan (5 years) than the Wii's lifespan.

The DS at least had SOME innovative niche titles. The Wii has almost nothing worthwhile besides first party.

>>118243806
and Mother 3.

>>118243806
Don't forget Last Window, Soma Bringer, and ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat all three for the DS

>>118243912
I thought Mother was a different matter due to licensing stuff.

>>118243490
No, nothing "nearly killed them" about the gamecube, nothing to do with that system even hurt them. They sold every console at a profit, they were in the black on both hardware and software sales that gen, it's just that they sold less units than their competitors.
That makes lots of people assume the cube was a failure despite it making Nintendo money.

>>118243833
I am wondering, were those games...

-Super Mario 64
-Zelda OoT and Majora's Mask
-Pokemon Snap

Cuz I can't remember many N64 games within its lifespan.

>>118244121
Competitively.
In the market from a sales standpoint they got mauled.
They did fine, but they were trumped quite badly.

>>118244246

>>118243833
>The Wii has almost nothing worthwhile besides first party.
Are you serious about that dude? I think there are some pretty cool games from third party companies out there.

>No More Heroes 1 & 2

If you think all those games aren't worthwhile to play your taste in vidya is utter shit, my friend.

>>118244501
No, I am seriously asking which ones, I didn't have a N64 and when I got my hands on it I only had OoT, it was good but I lost interest cuz I couldn't think of more games to buy.

>>118244682

Satoru Shibata, but the reasons for NOE improving was because NCL from what I heard finally gave them chance to do things themselves and if they wanted to localize a game, they can, they no longer were given orders for what games they get and what games they don't.

>>118243833

I, too, spent much more on the N64 than I ever did on the Wii. I bought every Wii game I thought might be good, and I still only have nine games.

Nine games in the entire Wii lifespan.

Comparing that to the N64 is almost an insult. I can rattle off an N64 top ten without even commenting on the games I just sort of enjoyed. Same with the Gamecube.

Nintendo's respect for the audience that made them a brand name is non-existent in the Wii era. And I can't imagine the Wii-U will be any different, despite what they tell us.

>>118245190

>Body Harvest

Mah nigga.

>>118243651
That explains why he didn't release Mother 3.

>>118245006
You like SOME of them. There is something for everyone, and I think that's pretty much the point. So it's quite a bullshit to read a faggot saying that there isn't anything worthwhile to play besides 1st parties when this time actually there is. At least comparing to earlier generations of nintendo consoles.

...and probably tons more. The N64 was an awesome system. I don't get the people who complained about "no games" back then.

I have hope Nintendo will fix things with the Wii U. If the rumours that a new Pikmin and F-Zero are in the works, then it could turn out to be as good a console as the Gamecube, having third party support aswell as great first party games.

Nintendo of America will always be shit though, they're holding the company back IMO.

>>118246142
They have been promising great third party support for the past 15 years. They're not gonna start now with the Wii U despite what people say. The third party will always abandon Nintendo consoles one way or the other and anyone who supports Nintendo has always gotten burned and found success on other platforms.

I'd say wait bit more. It's not coming till next year, anyway.

Nintendo is a shitty company I'm glad that they're doing badly. Once they realize how badly they're doing can they stop with the stupid shit they're doing and releasing and concentrate on coming back to the golden age of old Nintendo again.

They need to fall before rising and I'm not supporting them until then.

>>118246046

Yeah, the PSX had a huge library. Not going to deny that.

I will try and pick out 10. I'm not going to count Resident Evil 4, since I enjoyed that long before the Wii was spunked onto shelves. Same with Bully.

>Mario Galaxy
>DKC:Returns
>Kirby's:RTDL
>Zelda TP
>Zelda SS
>NMH 1
>SSB:B
>Okami was... okay.

Well, that's seven that I've played and enjoyed. I've played a lot more from that list, but I never bothered to finish them for one reason or another.

I'd like to try Xenogears, but I'm not going to bother importing it. Nintendo is insulting the US Nintendo fans by not releasing it here, where it's desperately needed to fill out the console's shitty library, so they can keep their game and I'll keep my money.

>>118246790
>doing badly
>sitting on a stockpile of Wii and DS money

>>118246842

Er, Xenoblade. Not Xenogears. Sorry about that.

>>118246570

>Earthbound, Cult following

Not when the first game came out. And still you'd be stupid to claim a re-release of Mother 2 or 3 would sell well. Nearly all the 'fans' would just pirate it.

>Fire Emblem, Healthy fanbase for it

Fanbase =/= Sales.

Every FE game sells around 200,000 units in America. Not worth it.

>Monster Hunter, Sold the most in the US

Still not as much as they expected.

>Dragon Quest, huge following and incredibly popular

In Europe yes. In America, no. Europe buys more Dragon Quest games than America. And in America, more people still pirate the games than buy them.

>>118246046

>>118247018
Nintendo can afford to lose that money, they're not in a bad position at all. Especially considering the 3DS isn't doing as bad as people say it is. What they need to be concerned about is how well the Wii U will do, but it's far too early to be predicting anything regarding that.

>>118246513
I'll just take a picture.

>>118247239
Nah, if you compare the hype between the Wii and Wii U being unveiled, you can see a stark difference on how little people care about the Wii U. Expect it to do N64/GC numbers while being too expensive to cater to the casuals.

>>118247215

>Monster Hunter Tri's the highest selling 3rd party game for Wii there is in America.

WTF are you smoking.

Its sold 500,000 copies in America.

Just Dance 2 has sold 5 MILLION copies in America.

Reggie sucks.

I wonder if at least these will get an overseas release.
Take note NOA and NOE!

Got a pre-order in Japan, so it doesn't really matter to me.

>>118247437
Damn, son.
That's impressive.

>>118247453
That could easily change at E3 2012, when Nintendo plan to unveil the final version of the console and much of it's features. We actually don't know much about the Wii U yet, so it's understandable that there isn't any hype around it. The Wii U was announced pretty early when you consider the time it took for previous consoles to be released after their announcement.

>>118247437

>>118247626

>>118247484
500,000 is a lot. You can't compare Just dance to Monster hunter because one is a casual title that appeals to all ages while Monster Hunter is a niche harcore title.

That's like comparing 3D mario to 2D mario when 2D mario outsells everygame on earth combined while 3D mario barely does decent. Or like how Zelda used to be the game that everyone owns to a game that a niche likes and enjoys.

Casual titles sells more, it's no surprise there.

No company likes 'otakus' or JRPG fans because they're a niche market. Catering for niche markets can make you money, but it'll only ever be small-time money (exception here is Final Fantasy). The leaders of big companies have their eye on the prize, and that prize is not making consistent but small amounts of money -- it's making huge amounts like you can with titles that have broad appeal. So of course none of them like this stubborn market, but it's not going anywhere.

>>118247738

>500,000 is a lot. You can't compare Just dance to Monster hunter because one is a casual title that appeals to all ages while Monster Hunter is a niche harcore title.

By your logic, Dragon Quest IX should have sold 5 million copies. Yet it sold less than Monster Hunter Tri in America.

Face it, Nintendo has tried many times to make RPGs popular in America. And aside from Pokemon and Marip RPG, people just pirate/ignore any other RPGs.

And even if you are an extreme optimist, you have to admit Xenoblade wouldn't even reach 500,000 in sales in America. Probably wouldn't even reach 200,000 units sold due to all the pirates. As much as I want to play Xenoblade myself, from a business standpoint, Nintendo is smart not to bother.

Does Files-Amie have a history of fucking up niche game localizations? With 3DS being region-locked, I'll flip a shit if some games don't come stateside because of him.

>>118248092

>having third party support aswell as great first party games.
>great third party support

They've been saying this every generation since the N64, and it never happens. Face it, third party developers will never make games for a Nintendo console. It's all about the SO DEEP M+ brown and bloom war shooters, and no publisher will ever release one on a Nintendo console due to the "Nintendo = kiddie shit" stigma that they can't get themselves out of. At most you'll just see half assed ports because the Wii U was designed to allow easy porting of XBox games to it, but that's it. No WiiU exclusive games other than first party titles, just like every generation after the SNES.

>>118248128
So by your logic, no games should be released unless they're confirmed big sellers.

That's retarded.

All games should be released on your platform despites the sales because it builds audiences, it builds customer loyalty to your product despite it's niche status and you will only serve to benefit yourself in the future if it succeeds and you've gotten good pull with the devs.

Look at all the popular games, GTA wouldn't have became a popular series if they dropped it after GTA1, Monster Hunter would have died on the PS3, Final Fantasy would have never been localized and put on the Snes, COD would have died after COD1 and etc etc etc.

The more good games you have on your platform, the more you stand to make in the future, denying that for any reasons only serves to further your selfish point of view and to make the least amount of money in the long term.

>>118248064

>>118248469

Prove he's wrong.

or did you not remember the weeks of 'Dragon Quest IX rom where!'

Fuck, anytime a DQ game comes over here, we have tons of threads demanding how to pirate it.

Oh, but Piracy has no effect....

I love Nintendo and their games, and the Wii is the best console this gen imo.

But Reggie is a cunt. He and NoA are seriously holding Nintendo back, they have no fucking idea who they're trying to appeal to anymore. The fact that they are still starkly refusing to bring over Xenoblade, while the rest of the world has already moved on, is a spit in the face to me. Most of their other games that we've been getting have been really hit-or-miss lately, and that's unacceptable. I've come to expect Nintendo's games to be PERFECT after years of playing them, and their quality is slipping fast.

It's a shame, I've really been enjoying their systems and its games over the years, but Reggie really needs to step down. The man doesn't even play video games, he's just some marketing hack.

The Wii U is actually looking pretty good to me so far, especially in the games department (assuming NoA doesn't refuse to localize every game). I may not get one if they go through with their no multitouch decision, or if they end up putting Origin on it, though.

otherwise there no point in buying 3rd party games on WiiU, and so the cycle repeats itself.

>>118248895
It's the doublespeak that bothers me.
He comes on stage and talks about how Nintendo isn't abandoning the core and appeals to everyone, then the next week walks up and says no to a highly appealing core video game.

>>118248895
The last I heard, Reggie was catering to the poor hispanics who didn't buy a Wii. So Xenoblade doesn't cater to them and so they'll never bring it in.

>>118248832

Prove with concrete and cited numbers that piracy substantially affects sales. Developer blogs whining about "waah our game wouldn't have sold like shit if not for those darned pirates!" do not count. Solid, backup up numbers.

We'll wait.

>>118246491

I did like Hybrid Heaven.
Sometimes the plot was a bit bizarre, b-rank sci-fi movie-like, and the gameplay could have been 100 times better just eliminating 1 thing about it: "platforming" sections. Just make all the game focused on battles and it would have been incredible. The hideous platforming segments reminded me of Tomb Raider's awkward controls, or Castlevania 64 (I liked that game though, but I must admit the platforming was also atrocious, should have been just a beat 'em up).

>>118249107
There isn't any point to buying those ports if you already own any system they are already out for.
The ports won't come for over a year after those games are out at first and require a large purchase just to play.

>>118249226
Hell I know even the IRAA acknowledges that citing any more than ten percent of pirated copies of anything as a lost sale is too much.

>>118247437

>rayman origins.

witnessing one of the 4000 owners makes me happy.

So by your logic, no games should be released unless they're confirmed big sellers.

Except that's not my point. My point is Nintendo has made efforts in the past, but people didn't buy the games. Now they're being selective in what RPGs they bring over, to lower that risk.

Europe buys a lot more JRPGs than America. That's why they took a chance with Xenoblade there.

>All games should be released on your platform despites the sales because it builds audiences, it builds customer loyalty to your product despite it's niche status and you will only serve to benefit yourself in the future if it succeeds and you've gotten good pull with the devs.

And Nintendo is doing this, with ire Emblem, Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest. They've fucking made a deal with SE to advertise and publish the DQ games to 'improve their popularity outside Japan.'

But you can't expect them to do it with EVERY game. Not every series has the ability to become a major seller. And I do want to point out Nintendo DID take a chance with MonolithSoft already. Ever hear of a little series called Baten Kaitos? Yeah, sold like shit in America, WITH advertising.

What's to say Nintendo should take more chances with Xenoblade? Oh, just because you signed a petition and claim you would buy the game. HAHAHAHAHA!

First and foremost, Nintendo is a business. And they're tired of releasing niche games and no one buying them/pirating them to death.

>>118247437
you seem like a cool guy

>>118249107
Logically speaking, there's no reason to get multiplatform titles on the Wii U.

1) Wii U is a new console and Iwata has said that it won't be cheap so we're gonna be looking at $350 to 399 price tag
2)Multiplatform games released by then would be cheap as hell, go to amazon or any other good online stores and you can probably order them for 20 bucks instead of full price on the Wii U.
3) Their competitors have a cheaper entry price, Xbox 360 with 99 bucks and PS3 with 200 bucks.
4) They might be superior in terms of graphics or add extra features but would you use those features and would you justify paying potentially 400 dollars just for a new console and a game?

>>118249431

It would have been 4001, but I didn't even know it was coming out. I saw it in the store yesterday and was flabbergasted, and now I can't buy it until I save up a bit of cash.

Which console was it primarily made for? I want to get it on that one.

WHO DECIDED TO FUCKING DESIGN THE WIIU?

FUCK!

2 SLIDERS ON THAT SHIT? 1 CONTROLLER PER SYSTEM? WHAT THE FUCK?

>>118249563
Get it on an HD console. These sprites really demand it.
It's gorgeous.

They need to make gold/goty editions of those games with DLC included on disk, or entirely new exclusive content.

MS and Sony are aggressive enough to make such arrangements if they were in Nintendos situation, but Nintendo, I'm not so sure.

>>118247437
>no demon's souls/dark souls
Seriously?

>>118249494
Nintendo is a badly run business that doesn't care for it's customers then, if all your points are right. Welp, guess I won't be getting a Wii U or a 3DS then.

>>118249746

Are you religious by any chance?

>>118249601
Other than no R3/L3, i think sliders are fine.

1 CONTROLLER IS HORSESHIT THOUGH

>>118249494
Uh what numbers are you grabbing these, out of someones ass I presume? We buy nearly every game more then Europe, including rpgs the reason the pal region got Xenoblade is because upper management of NOE finally got some say in what games they get to localized, and they wanted to localize Xenoblade and those other two games plus the games that aren't rpgs like Another Code R and Disaster Day of Crisis.

>>118249763
Getting all the dlc packed in isn't worth buying something you can still get on system you already own.

>>118249796
I had Demon's Souls.
I didn't have time for it and sold it, waiting for a Dark Souls price drop.

Reggie never said anything to imply that he hates core gamers or otaku. The latter would be especially stupid since he works for a Japanese company.

OP is just another hater, yawn. Shit gets old.

>>118249851
WHY IS IT SHAPED SO HORRIBLY? COULDN'T THEY HAVE MADE IT A LITTLE SMALLER? I HAVE XBOXHUEG HANDS AND IT'S JUST STUPIDLY SIZED.

WHAT THE FUCK?

>>118250075
Have you actually held it?

pretty much everybody who has has said it's suprisingly fucking comfortable.

>>118246790

Sony is a shitty company I'm glad that they're doing badly. Once they realize how badly they're doing can they stop with the stupid shit they're doing and releasing and concentrate on coming back to the golden age of old PlayStation again.

They need to fall before rising and I'm not supporting them until then.

>>118249972
Seriously, is your name Jake?
I seen this same collection and setup...and he didn't get into demon's souls too...

>>118250075
I don't want that controller due to storing the damn thing.
I like where I keep my controllers, in a drawer. You know what won't fit in that drawer?
That big old thing.
I am not just dedicating that much shelf space to a controller.

>>118250182
Not him but a person who has held it here.

The grips are comfy and all but the general shape is uncomfortable.

wish they would just make a regular controller so fucking bad.

>>118250428
Apparently it charges by being placed on the wii U or something, so you don't have to.

>>118250345
No, and this is the first time I have photographed my collection since early 2009 when it was less than half this size and I lived somewhere else.

>>118249494
Nintendo is a business first and foremost and they can't get "tired" of releasing games. A business is not a person but an entity run by a group of people. Also there are smart ways of releasing Xenoblade in america. You can print limited copies (which is what Atlus and Xseed does and they're smaller than Nintendo and still make a profit), you can make it a online only purchasable title and a lot more.

There's a way to get a product into your customer's hands at low costs and the customers are willing to throw money at you to purchase it. There's literally no risks to bringing a title to the US other than feeling hurt that the pirates are playing it without paying. Which they already are doing because you as a company is failing to bring it to the US.

So do you want to make $0 for not bringing a game to your console and losing a potential future customer while pirates are playing your game or do you want to make profit while ensuring your customer's loyalty while the pirate are STILL playing your game anyways.

doesn't matter. this is highly favorable to 3rd parties who don't even have to make an entirely new game.

Their old games will be on WiiU competing with only 12 others games that's easy money.

Nintendo can at least say that they got games on their shelf too at WiiU launch, even if 3rd parties have them. better than only 3 original games in WiiU for the first 2 months after launch.

>Nintendo abandons core gamers in favor of casuals because they'll buy any shit that gets put on store shelves
>Nintendo spits in core fans' faces at every chance they get to make themselves look better to casuals; "See? We're not like those greasy nerds over there, we're a respectable video game company for respectable people like you!" Countless articles are printed where a Nintendo rep delivers a snide comment on how core gamers are anti-social dorks
>the iphone comes out
>casuals abandon Nintendo en masse in favor of even more casual games the flood the app store on smartphones
>Nintendo panics as their master plan is falling apart
>They make the WiiU based on the latest tech fad, tablet computers, and plead with core gamers at E3 that core gamers are the true gamers and the WiiU will be just for them
>nobody cares
>$400
>casuals don't care
>the only people who buy it are nips

And nothing of value was lost.

It matters when that games audience has already played them a year ago and is doing what gamers do and looking at the next big thing.

>UMvsC3

capcom doesn't think so.

>>118250581
Watch as those games do poorly on the Wii U and third party uses that as proof that Nintendo doesn't support them and how the Wii U would fail and then abandon's the Wii U for the new playstation and xbox.

>>118250581
>Nintendo can at least say that they got games on their shelf too at WiiU launch

Games from last year. Did you see the big third party teaser they showed at E3? It was all shit that came out in 2010 and 2011. I don't think Nintendo is going to move many units with "Play yesterday's games today!" as their marketing campaign.

>>118250527

>There's literally no risks to bringing a title to the US other than feeling hurt that the pirates are playing it without paying. Which they already are doing because you as a company is failing to bring it to the US.

I feel this is a good point and worthy of an example. I don't like to pirate stuff that I can buy. I believe in supporting the industry. I only pirate things that I can't get my hands on for some reason... usually stuff that isn't in print anymore.

I pirated Xenoblade since I live in the US. It's the only Wii game I have pirated.

>>118250888
Completely different.
The fighting community is a different animal from the people who play Batman. It is a competition based community that has to keep up with latest iterations of their games in order to stay competitive, and capcom has been abusing this.
Those players also don't have to buy a minimum $300 product to rebuy the game they already played at full price.

>>118250637

>the only people who buy it are nips

not even. home consoles in general are small time in Japan.

games like skyrim also sold 11x what SS did, maybe if they were just a software company they could of made half as much money as the Wii, and SS on the PS3 and 360 probably would've sold 33 times more.

>>118251162

I know, right?

don't clump core gamers with otaku. not the same animal.

>>118251315
Your number guesstimate isn't far off from how my store has been doing skyward sword vs skyrim.
Our reserves were about 5x in favor of skyrim and post release sales have been nuts.
