Topic: How can Nintendo maintain hype through September?

Posts 1 to 20 of 37

So Mario Kart 8 had a great launch, and Nintendo killed it at E3. They definitely have everyone's attention now.

However what concerns me is that the next retail game Nintendo is releasing in the west is Phoenix Wright X Professor Layton for 3DS at the end of August and Hyrule Warriors in September.

That's a long time to ride hype, and I'm afraid the upcoming drought could kill it.

Why are you so concerned about a company?

Isn't it the company's job to worry about the company or am I missing something here?

I honestly don't know. I guess it's just my inner Nintendo fanboy wanting them to do well. I guess if they do well, it means they have more resources to do things I like.

People can worry about a company. It happens all the time, especially in the video game industry. Remember when Atlus was in trouble? People went crazy.
If a company isn't successful, they cannot produce their goods. The goods, in this case, are Nintendo's beloved games.

Yeah, guitars are cool.

My musical project Comet Tail made a couple of recordings.

They'll release new info about Smash Bros every week or two and people will go nuts

Then after Santa month they'll do the same with Zelda until the next Santa month. That's how

No Chrono, you're obviously way off of the mark here. It's not about playing games and enjoying yourself, it's all about dwelling over a company.

None of which launch before September. Again how do you keep the hype through 2.5 months?

Sonic Boom is for 2015.. isnt it? I think the best way to maintain the hype is to have a Nintendo direct in July/August that focuses on the games coming out THIS YEAR! not 2015! like everything were gonna have until December while announcing a new challenger for Smash.. and till then Mario Kart should keep the momentum going..

You've basically confirmed what I confirmed and what most people should be aware of: Certain individuals have pixelated b***rs for certain video game companies.

Again, why should any consumer be worried about a company's well being?

The PS4 is still riding its hype from last e3 so I think the Wii U can easily keep it going for a few months.

The only game on that list that's being released before September if Watch Dogs, and that's only if it doesn't get delayed again. Several are being released Oct/Nov/Dec, while the rest are 2015.

Well the even if it does go away, the hype train will come back when the games get closer to launch.

Plus if they release information about the games weekly it will fuel the hype train.

Sorry.

I'll post my friend code once I have a better team ready for Pokemon X, for battling.

Close to 1/3 of Wii U owners by the end of the Summer are gonna be new owners so Nintendo can live with this maybe?

Helps a bit that Shovel Knight will (for better AND worse) sell better than much of the AAA stuff Wii U has gotten
