Do you like the new Nintendo?

Will we have to wear brain sensors next?

Or just a smaller redesigned Wiimote?

With both the Wii remote itself and Wii Motion Plus, what we've been able to do is introduce an interface that is both I think appealing and at the right price for a broad audience. And while we don't have any concrete plans for what we'll be doing with hardware in the future, what I can say is that, my guess is that because we found this interface to be so interesting, I think it would be likely that we would try to make that same functionality perhaps more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient.- Shigeru Miyamoto

So far all fingers are pointing to motion controls.. It's a sad thing really but I guess this is just the Nitnendo we are gonna have to learn how to get used to. Me being a old school Nintendo guy it's kinda hard to take in.

Make the motion controls optional and use a standard controller and I will love you again Nintendo!

Sure, they are a different company, than 5 years ago, but that's okay.

They still make great games...they just also have a nongamer audience to cater too. It's like having a favorite uncle get married. He's still around, but he's busy. When he does visit though, oh boy!

I'm an old-school Nintendo fan too and I can appreciate what they are doing. Ninty is the only company it seems willing to try things differently.

That would be awesome if they did that.. But i'm pretty sure the chances of that happening are very slim.

Nah, i used to like nintendo back in the N64 days. They had remarkable games for the system. GC, still ok, still had my super smash. Wii, not so much due to their focus on the Wii Fit and Wii Sports crowd, and no focus on the Metroid and Zelda gamers.

I never gushed over ninty but I did like a lot of their games and always had tremendous respect for them. This gen i'm bordering on cold indifference and respect has almost hit absolute zero. A good healthy dose of Starfox could get them back on track in my eyes though. :)

Then you love Nintendo now because they are optional in most games.

Besides a few games, Nintendo have made me rather unhappy with them.
Edit: As far as the Wii is concerned atleast. I am happy with the games coming out on the DS.

I like to seperate them into 2 eras.

You know they actually have devices on the computer you can wear that lets you feel like you're accelerating and whatnot by sending your brain signals? Pretty neat idea as long as you don't get motion sickness.

Yes I still like Nintendo even though they don't fill their console with pointless gritty FPS titles.

To be honest it's not wether or not I like Nintendo as a company or the direction they're going with the remote sensing technology or any of that. This is about the games. After all that's why we buy consoles in the first place isn't it? And that's why I'm disappointed with Nintendo. With the Wii they introduced a new concept with tons of potential. They promised a new way to play and they were right with one exception- By-and-large the games suck. They suck bad. And they suck because Nintendo didn't give us a cutting-edge system. All the fanboys out there say "graphics don't make a game fun" and they're right but neither do remote pointers. Nintendo needs to improve the motion-sensing concept and give us a new system which boasts full multi-media compatibility, a hard drive and HD technology. They missed the boat with the Wii and the games have suffered. The best game yet has been the Metroid Prime Trilogy which features 2 gamecube remakes. If they want me to buy there next console they need to be able to gain better 3rd party support and stop makingjunk min-games and sequel after sequel after spinoff after spinoff. And by-god if you're gonna have a motion pointer I want an amazing FPS!

Indeed. Games are crap without super real life graphics and full HD support. I was imagining having fun playing Mega Man 3 on the NES the other day.

well its certainly good to have nintendo as no.1 in the industry since third party support really has ramped up compared to the n64 or gamecube days..

I feel most games these days rely on flashy graphics instead of actual depth and good gameplay. I personally prefer gameplay.

They still have the 'hardcore' releases, I don't see why there's such a melodramatic backlash.

I love how the Wii is saving local multi-player.

That's not quite was getting at but I can see why you may have thought I was. I think the graphics matter because the modern developers are into creating games with the modern HD technology. I think they haven't put much effort by-and-large into making quality Wii games for this reason. They see that they can make more money with a junk mini-game knockoff instead of a great FPS because they believe that the Wii fanbase is made up of people that will buy those titles. In that regard, graphics matter.

I don't want a bunch of interactive movies and first person shooters.

I hear ya, you would never see a game like the old mega mans on the hd consoles. Oh wait.

Do you like the new Nintendo?

-supercharged-

For handhelds, yes. The DS is like the best thing to have happened to gaming in a long long time.

For consoles, no. *sigh* How I miss the days of the GCN and the N64...

You can use the Wiimote and Nunchuck without having motion controls. They do have buttons too.

ugh i miss the old nintendo i hate playing games like mario and zelda with a stupid motion controller.... at least give us an option to use a normal controller!

I like the new Nintendo more than the old Nintendo.

Yeah, I said it. What are you guys gonna do 'bout it?

people call foul nintendo and whine over not releasing hardcore games..

but when nintendo delivers like with excite bots or sin and punishment 2 they just shun the games delivering the perfect message to nintendo

just abandon the hardcore and focus on the casuals

I think they are the same in fact this gen for the Wii they put out more core titles in the first 2 years then they did through the whole GCN (Well it feels like they did). They also are still making great games on both systems they are also making new IPs like Monado, Cosmic Walker, Dynamic Slash, and Line Attack Heroes. But that isn't saying much since they make New IPs all the time people just ignore them.

The new Nintendo is the reason I'm still playing new videogames nowadays. I'm mostly a social and arcade gamer, and that's the sort of material Nintendo is focusing on. As a customer, I couldn't be happier (discounting the fall 08 - spring 09 game drought, of course. That was really bad.) .

Sure, they are a different company, than 5 years ago, but that's okay.

Nintendo pumps out good games. And you realize that every console excepts any type of game that isn't AO? The 360 and Ps3 get crap games too. It's just that the Wii gets the most of it because it's easier to make games with. And they used 'gimmicky motion' controls with the power glove.

Nintendo hasn't change much at all. Their games have always been more towards kids or the family. It's just when people grow up, they want them to grow up with them. Nintendo is the only company that cares about the future set of gamers.

I think everyone who has posted here for the past year should know my position on Nintendo by now. No. I do not like the new Nintendo, I think they aren't trying to be "different" like the illusion of their non-gaming appeal (which is misconstrued as "everyone") is making them... but actually just the "same" (i.e. delivering quality games to hardcore live/eat/breathe-Nintendo fans and the casual audience) and not trying to branch out into new core markets and appeal to the crowds of gamers they've never hooked.

I used to be a pretty big Nintendo fan... but have had many outs with them over the past little while. They just can't seem to move on past all their traditional game types (Mario, Zelda, Metroid plot, character, world progression) and into more focused types (i.e. a narrative-focused Zelda, a M-rated "adult-oriented" RPG Metroid, etc.) that more fall in line with the kinds of games being produced today, that appeal to gamers like myself.

Granted, they just want to make money it seems... and not actually try to make everyone happy.

Theyre alright. I prefer the old Nintendo but the new Nintendo is fine.

for all the flack the GameCube got....I enjoyed it more than the Wii.....and enjoyed the N64 more than the GameCube......and enjoyed the SNES more than the N64......In other words, I miss the old nintendo. The Wii just doesn't do it for me.

3. doubling the amount of gamers.

4.2 screens on a handheld

5. touch screen with a handheld.

6.motion controls.

need i go on? oh, and what do you call games like SMG,MPT,LoZ:TP, and the upcoming:SMG2, M:other m, zelda wii?

I'm an old-school Nintendo fan too and I can appreciate what they are doing. Ninty is the only company it seems willing to try things differently.

Nice. Somebody has some common sense in here after all!
