TalkBack / Nintendo's Earnings Forecasts
« on: April 08, 2003, 01:06:00 PM »
nintendo has plenty of mature titles in my opinion (i mean 90% of the games are shared by all three systems anyway), i think it would be hard to name 5 mature titles for ps2 or xbox that are even worth porting over to the cube. if that's the truth, then you can't really argue that the cube is failing due to a lack of 5 to 10 games.
as for games being difficult, zelda ww should be easier for you then the original, you were 15 years younger when the old zelda came out, play it now and i think you'll find it quite easier then you remember. with zelda (and other games) it becomes difficult to make a game enjoyable for both 30 year olds and 10 year olds. i see the same issue with the new star wars movies, trying to please a large age gap becomes increasingly difficult the larger the gap. zelda branches that gap quite well in my opinion. on the contrary metroid was geared a little more for the older generation.
i, along with a lot of people i know, also enjoy easier games at our age (I am 28). We just don't have the time due to real life and work, and the easier games are easier to enjoy. Eternal Darkness was a fan favorite of ours since it had a great story, decent length, great gameplay, and the ability to save at any time (as long as no baddies in the room), a perfect game over the past year and a gamecube exclusive.
imho, nintendo's primary issue isn't mature titles, number of games, type of games, it was the n64. it set them back a long time by sticking with a cartridge system and fell quickly to the cd systems. i have xbox and cube and my buddies have ps2, out of all our systems we 'enjoy' the cube the most. they have the best quality games, an extremely comfotable joystick, and great first party games (something that sony and microsoft just don't really do).
the cube is the best system i've had since my dreamcast (which failed due to the saturn), i think nintendo will have a tough time forever with the cube no matter what they do (as did the dreamcast), bt once their next gen console comes out I think they'll be in a better position. i also think the games that are coming out now are extremely stale, but that's another point for another day
just enjoy your cube and don't think its greener on the other side of the fence, cuz its not
