Maybe because I wasn't angry.
: : : I know you seem to think I always am even when I am not. Maybe nobody ever explained the nature of a rant to you, it is a stress release measure, in other words it is something people do to blow off steam. Also in case you still haven't learned, I am not as angry as you keep making me out to be, I am blunt, which often makes me come off as rude, but blunt and rude are also not equal to angry. So please stop anlyzing me and pretending you know when I am angry even when I am not, thanks.
As for the NX library, I am not looking at it from the perspective it will be a sequel to the Wii U or a repeat of their previous console practices. I am trying to look at it broader than that, from the perspective of the shared library concept.
SO I see it being like this, to Ian's credit yes looking at the Wii U games and 3DS games side by side on the same shelf it would be hard to pick the Wii U. But if you combine all of those games into 1 console, yes you get a couple less games total because you just have the 1 Mario game instead of three, fair enough, but you end up with more games total.
They could launch with Mario Kart right away, but they have never done that, ever. No console or handheld has ever launched with a Mario Kart. Do they need it out sooner rather than later, yes but they don't necessarily need it at launch. At launch they need as much variety as they can get, both from the different factions within the Nintendo fanbase, also the casuals and lapsed gamers or the ones that have moved on, they certain can win a chunk of them back they seem to do it often enough to suspect they can, and from the gamers that remember Nintendo fondly but want more games.
Even most of the die hard Sony gamers who snub the Nintendo CONSOLE still pick up or consider the Nintendo Handheld, and for good reason even when the console library does suck, the handheld always complements that. So if there is just ONE device on the shelf but instead of having 5 console games and 12 handheld games you end up with 17 total games, suddenly the system looks better.
Khush, fair enough you think VR is a joke but everyone in the industry is behind it, everyone in the industry is doing something with it.
Also, um how can anyone say VR is only good for one or two games? The entire industry is built on the First Person Shooter, the ENTIRE INDUSTRY revolves around Halo, Call of Duty, Doom, and a few other copy cats. Those games are perfect fit for VR. Even if only half of the Call of Duty and Halo players adopt VR that is still MORE than the entirety of Wii U gamers and 3DS gamers combined. I mean you would have to be really skeptical to think that the same gamers who propped up the entire Xbox division on 75 percent or more FPS games is not going to fall in love with a machine that makes the FPS experience more immersive.
Not to mention the elephant in the room, the thing everyone I know and you too if you stop lying to yourself, the dirty stuff is going to sell VR.
Skype is going to make VR a hit too. If Facebook can let a user create a virtual living room to invite their family over during a virtual sit down then the grandmas and grandpas are going to get behind it. This is not the 90's VR where it was blocky 32X style graphics, this is the immersive experience the world that FLOCKED to Avatar for that fake 3D experience has been waiting for.
If Nintendo was not working towards a VR system eventually why did the Wii exist at all? What about the DS or even adding that 3D to the DS for the sequel? Their entire corporate platform has always been centered around allowing gamers to touch their games and interact with them in new ways. Hello Rob the Robot, Zapper, Wii remote, when Nintendo is at their most successful it is when they have a simple integrated interactive experience.
The difference is Mario isn't a perfect fit for VR to someone that hated Mario 64 but try to picture that game in VR, where you get to experience the rush of running and jumping and seeing the world from that guys perspective, and then tell me there isn't any reason to pick it up. I mean I think the people resisting are only doing so for the typical fear of change reasons which is odd coming from a bunch of fans that embraced the Wii in the first place.
Also you seem to forget Virtual Boy was NOT VR, it was a weird experiment so that whole emotional thing might not apply, they might actually be able to separate the odd experiment from the current reality did you ever consider that?
Also I will say this again, as I skimmed your post earlier, I was not angry so stop trying to read my posts like I was. If you do that you might not be so antagonistic towards me. Also you can disagree with me and I won't see it as a personal attack, I pointed out past true personal attacks and those people either backed off or have left the site so I never accused YOU khush of that, never not once. I accused you only of stabbing me in the back, confiding in you things I shouldn't have, assuming we were friends only to see you take my vulnerabilities and make them public and pile on whenever everyone else does make fun of me. But I shrug it off.
I was not saying they should buy exclusives I was merely pointing out that would be their ONLY want to get back to SNES levels of support, considering the SNES only had that support because they forced people to make games for them in the first place, which incase you forgot history that pre-dates the virtual boy, Nintendo used to bully companies hence why they fled them en mass and have yet to return. Maybe all those people at Id, Midway, Capcom, EA, Rockstar, etc, are just as irratonally emotional and that explains why Nintendo never gets support in which case they never will unless they buy it.
You seem to forget the same Nintendo that refused to go HD when the entire industry begged them to, refused to go CD Rom when the entire industry begged them to, refused to give 3rd parties the time of day when making Wii U and did their own thing is the same Nintendo that pissed everyone off in the 90's and early 2000's and apparently is still doing it today. We can rationalize every decision we want all day long but if the potential for money is slim to begin with and companies are made up of emotional people, which I agree can motivate them, then there is NOTHING Nintendo can do to make amends shy of BRIBING. Would it be the smart move, no but it would be SMARTER than the path they have been on for 35 years pushing the ENTIRE industry away from them.
Will they embrace VR, YES just like they did embrace optical, HD, and online, will they do it the same as everyone else, probably not which is why YOU are not excited for it, because YOU know the VR THEY implement will suck and thus VR will suck, to YOU. But the rest of the world will embrace it, enjoy it and push it forward while Nintendo sits in the corner pouting nobody likes them.
