Re: $1.2 Billion Wiped Off Nintendo's Market Value As Share Prices Plummet

It's a shame to see such a great company going in the wrong direction.

Nintendo are a lot like Morrisons, they are stubborn and refuse to move with the times, adopt a clear online strategy and give the consumer what they want. Hell Morrisons can't afford window cleaning at the moment.

The 3DS is surely their saving grace financially at the moment, but I hate to see the Wii U in this predicament as it's a great machine. They need restructure, and sooner rather than later or we may just have trophies and achievements in a Mario game. It's not impossible, we all said Sega would never give up the gauntlet....

But I hope that never happens. Good luck Nintendo.

That's not bad at all to say the successor is just around the corner. Surely support for this machine will have to continue for at least a couple more years after the 3DS release?

What I actually find more interesting is the PS2 sales figures. You have to hand it to Sony, it's an fantastic immoprtal machine. There's still a few releases penned for the US and UK too!

Why do people keep hitting on sonic 4's £10 price tag. Yes I said it - £10 and a few pence. This is it's retail price on the 360 & ps3 so you're not getting screwed in that dept. Granted it's unfair Japan should have the pprice decreased but do their points work out at a different rate maybe?

Re: Nintendo Power Claims Sonic 4: Episode 1 Will Cost 1500 Points

If this rumour is true then It personally doesn't take me by surprise. Think about it, in the UK 2000 points costs £14 direct from Nintendo so this weighs in at £10.50. Similar games on other digital services cost around £10 too. Rocket Knight on xbla and psn for instance is no more than a new version of a classic game but still carries what we may consider a high price tag. Just over a tenner for a game that's easily going to be as big as it's 16-bit forefathers is reasonable imo. Yes it's episodic but if the quality and quantity of level and design is there then price is highly justified.
Saying all this, Nintendo Power have come off a rumour so it may cost less and who knows, may cost more!

I'm in agreement with the majority. Take your time and make it all the better!
I'm sure Mario and Sonic at the winter games will fill my time up over the festive period (well that and reruns of Chritmas specials on TV)
