Nintendo Gaming / Will the big N merge (OR BUY)?

« on: April 20, 2003, 01:26:32 PM »

I doubt Nintendo does anything... wouldnt make much sense, but it would be cool if they did Merge with Capcom or some cool company just to have more good games... hopefully they invest on some Sega or Capcom shares, like Sony did with Square soft..

Nintendo Gaming / No wonder M titles aren't selling

« on: April 14, 2003, 10:39:44 AM »

This happned to me also, people on the stores telling me, no Splinter Cell is never coming out for the GCN but i do have PS2 versions.... This is the sort of Grass Rooots campaigning that Nintendo needs to work with to improve their sales and image... Maybe make a Nintendo street team? or something like that.

Nintendo Gaming / RE's exclusitivity status

« on: April 13, 2003, 03:42:00 PM »

Nintendo signed a contract with Capcom, Capcom cant break it cause it would allow Nintendo to sue them in court.  I doubt Capcom wants to pay millions of dollars in damage..... RE games will be exclusive tilll RE4, after that its anybodys guess..

Thats certainly interesting. Why did the former president of Retro leave?

Nintendo Gaming / Do you think lowering cost will attract more "mature" 3rd parties?

« on: April 11, 2003, 07:23:15 AM »

This will help. Third Parties complain of costs on GCN, if the costs are lower, they have less to complain about... and it will make it more profitable for Third Parties... We just need to entice them even more.... if there are more "mature games" and more advertisments for the "mature" software then eventually the image will change. A good start would be making a "Mature" Nintendo Power with a Demo Disk each month, cause the more "kiddy" magazine helps enforce this idea that the GCN is for kids... to the common gamer of course...

TalkBack / Nintendo Lowers Royalty Fees

« on: April 10, 2003, 05:21:22 PM »

Something Nintendo needed to do from the getgo... they make more money per Gamecube than Sony does per PS2 or Microsoft per Xbox, so it was fair for them to pass some of those savings to Third Parties... Hopefully this means more Support! You listening Rockstar, Namco, ect.

Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo lowers profit expectations... again

They could make companies like Silicon Knights and Retro bigger, and able to produce more than 1 game at a time.... and please market them much better!

My Preference would be silver actually... and no handle regardless of its use.


The Gamecube is popular but its not popular enough....  The Common gamer says its kiddy and discards it, and just doesnt give it a chance... If Nintendo doesnt gain an increase soon, then they will have problems eventually.... You do this by doing more "violent" games, and less enfasis on the General Audiences games, and changing your advertisements to emphasise more on the Mature titles and less on the general ones.

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube oversells PS2 in the UK

« on: April 10, 2003, 05:25:07 AM »

The reason the sales have improved is the fact that the good games are finally reaching Europe, not the price cuts.

kennyb27, Nintendo is basically saying todays gamer doesnt want what we are offering, they want violent games. Halos, and GTAS, and Nintendo isnt known for that. Nintendo isnt mainstream. Watch MTV Cribs, when some Rapper or Sports star shows his TV, you always see a PS2, not a GCN, and Nintendo needs to rectify this.. They need to make the Gamecube cool for the mainstream gamer, if they want to make gains in sales instead of strugling like they are doing.

Well, Iwata and Company arent stupid, hopefully they will rectify this.. The comment about games like GTA has given me hope that Nintendo will also change with the times. Nintendo isnt leaving the console buisness just yet, but they do have to get their act together and make a STRONG push...

423

Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo should pull out of the consol race.

« on: April 08, 2003, 05:34:32 AM »

Going Third Party doesnt Equal $$$.... SEGA hasnt had the best of succes,, they havent been able to beat EA.

Nintendo blamed the sluggish performance of GameCube and its software to rising popularity of such PlayStation 2 titles as Grand Theft Auto

Thats from IGN Cube..... Seems like Nintendo finally "Got it"  If this is the reason for their lack luster sales then i see more of the GTA type games appearing on the cube, and less of the pikmins and Mario sunshines. Nintendo is changing.... The Nintendo of the future isnt your NES nintendo folks.... Its almost quasi historic.

Nintendo is in problems if they loose Capcom support. Capcom has been one of the strongest supporters from the start...
