Re: Editorial: Nintendo Did A Solid Job at E3 2016, But That Didn't Ease Long-Term Concerns

@IceClimbers I don't agree entirely. With Xbox and PlayStation soon asking fans to pay for new systems the market is there. Let us also not forget that got most gamers having a Nintendo for exclusives alone is almost mandatory if you want some of the best experiences out there.

I think if they show diff something new and shiny with tech on par with the Xbox and PS4 that they would have a shot. They certainly won't if they put out another system woefully underpowered and try to skate on their games no matter how fantastic they are. Wii U has imho one of the best exclusive lineups today, but that doesn't matter if nobody buys it.

I agree with you that it's an uphill battle, but with the hardcore crowd at least it's a chance. With the casual market I don't feel they have a chance at all.

Bottom line is if they want a large install base they have to have third party support and to have third party support they have to have tech on par with Xbox and PlayStation so the games are easy to port. Without that they won't even get off the ground. They need to stop trying to recapture the Wii market and move on because casuals have.

Reggies comment left me shaking my head. The way I see it they can't replicate the success of the Wii with casuals. They hit at the perfect time with the Wii when awesome smart phones weren't exactly the norm and casual gaming isn't what it was them. At this point all those people have moved on: they have their cell phones and tablets and they are set.

Nintendo had a real chance here to get ahead of their competition and release a beefy machine. Xbox and PlayStation to upgrade to these new systems will have to deal with a stigma of leaving day one people behind but not the Wii U. They literally had a fantastic chance handed to them and sounds like they are going to pull another Wii U out. I really thought they learned their lesson.

This may be a disaster though I really hope I'm wrong, because a beefy tech machine partnered with Breath of the Wild on day one could have really moved systems.

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about it sounded like almost every Let's Play I've listened to. In fact I had to double check Nintendo out this out because the narrator didn't sound like a generic bored white guy ala Xenoblade X.

I don't care who does the voice though they needed something like this out there. This is the first time I've really seen something on this game that made me think this looks cool.

I love Nintendo, but if they don't have the basic online capabilities of the other consoles or the technical power to house third party games then I won't be supporting them this time, at least not at launch.

You would think those two things are a no brainer, but you really can never tell with Nintendo. Sometimes they are brilliant and ahead of their time, but just as often shot themselves in the foot. You really never know which company will show up.
