Not to me personally, but when I see patterns emerge I have to point them out or challenge them, because sometimes those patterns lead to bad outcomes. I see a potential bad outcome with how Nintendo has been doing things lately. In proving me wrong, they're proving that pattern wrong and are making a potentially better outcome for themselves. I literally can't tell you the number of times I've pointed things out to people, they disregarded my warnings, and shit proceeded to happen. I literally cannot, because I've chosen to leave so much of it behind me, only that in itself hasn't been successful because more shit keeps happening that people should be able to prevent. Zeus posted... Entity13 posted...but more than that I am hoping they showcase something this E3 to start on that because I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before people realize they've been had with the Switch and that it will have nothing new they can't find on other systems... save for those few games that only the most diehard of fans will buy. No, it's compatibility in addition to continued motion controls, despite what different people (on an individual basis) think of such controls, and hey lets thrown in games now that we have this much down... rather than a gaming system first, with compatibility being central to Quality of Life second, and motion controls--at their best or otherwise--as an option for those still interested in it. That way there would still be games unhindered by either thing. That way, motion controls aren't being shoved down our throats no matter how much some of us think we like them. Motion controls weren't perfect during the Wii (or even Motion Plus), but they were neat. Wii U might have failed to convey that it was anything more than an updated Wii, but it continued shoving motion controls on everyone in addition to gamepad design that could have been done better. Then Switch comes along: "Hey, you know that Zelda game you were waiting for since the early days of Wii U? Well we have it on the Switch now. You want some games in addition to what our system can do? Sure, have this weird looking Mario game that people are bound to laugh at rather than laugh with, have a small tease at a third 'No More Heroes" with nothing set in stone, have a new entry in 'Fire Emblem' because this niche series is at the height of its popularity, and have this silly looking boxing game that you know will rely on motion controls. See? at least one game for everyone; come buy this pricey system for your one game!" The worst part is people did buy the Switch mainly for Zelda, many of whom expected that version to be something more than it was, which was a literal port of the Wii U version with barely touched up graphics. I'm not saying people aren't buying into this so far. I'm saying that buyers' remorse is down the road for many. It will hurt Nintendo's sales and reputation both in the long run, rather than the immediate future. Zeus posted... lolwut? lolyou heard me. Wii was fine, because it had games. Wii U didn't have enough games, nor enough good press. Switch has a limited worth that hinges on the games we haven't seen yet. But hey! let's enjoy the gimmicks these systems have to offer while we wait for our time and money's worth. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
