Nintendo Hasn't Abandoned Core Gamers Says Pachter

Nintendo hasn't abandoned Core Gamers.

Source: http://kotaku.com/5030247/pachter-says-nintendo-hasnt-abandoned-core-gamers

I allready said this before, people have been over reacting and exaggerating about Nintendo's E3 conference. They are still focusing more on hardcore gamers then they do on casual gamers.

lol Nintendo?...hmm...doesn't ring a bell.

Really?? Cuz i have owned a nes, snes, n64, and gamecube, and i have no desire to buy a wii.

They have'nt abondoned core gamers, they insult them with every new announcement. For Shame.

Wait until TGS where they will unveil a new Mario, where there are no possible ways to fall, fail a stage, or be hurt, and can be completed by hanging your wiimote around your cats neck.

Or how about a new F-zero where there are casual friendly barriers so you cannot crash? Or Pikmin where up to 5 pikmin can follow Olimar around (dont want to make it too complicated or people might cry)

If you really don't see that Nintendo is going for the big, easy bucks by focusing on casuals / non gamers, you're beyond help.

And that article sucks. Its title suggests thatthis guy doesn't think Nintendo abandoned its core gamers, but then the text states quotes of his that seem to suggest that he does think that.

So the fact that this guy is saying this, says more about what Nintendo's doing to its core than what some random analyst says. The only thing the analyst says is that he doesn't feel that not announcing certain games is abandoning the core. Not much of an argument there.

Fatal Frame, Disaster: Day of Crisis, De Blob, Conduit, Mad World and Animal Crossing are signs that Wii has still plenty of good software for the core gamer. If you can't really see that, you're beyond help.

I just want more Mario Galaxy, and less (i.e NONE) Big beach Sports. Hear me Nintendo?????

Idiots will buy anything they see on t.v....

Where do I say that Wii doesn't have any games appealing to the core gamer? I'm saying Nintendo doesn't care about the core gamer, and the fact that this list of yours consists only of 3rd party games (I think), is actually proving that point.

AC and DDC are first party.

Nintendo focuses more on hardcore game? This picture says otherwise!

awesome! this concludes what i think right now.

Just because his age is old, it automaticly means he can't be a hardcore gamer? :roll:

LOL!!!!!

I'm pretty sure he's not what we'd consider a hardcore gamer.

No, they haven't abandoned the core gamer. Just as I didn't "abandon" my past girlfriend. I just stopped calling her. Quilt

Yeah they said that at E3 then treated core gamers with a pictures of Link, Mario and Samus.

Very rewarding.

Casuals are a first priority, they are the majority of the userbase.

Live with it.

Pachter figures that the Big N will pull in some $3.9 billion for the quarter, adding up to a $17.7 billion take for the entire year. If Nintendo has indeed abandoned the core, who could blame 'em? That's "f*** you" money, right there.Kotaku

Michael Pachter says that Nintendo hasn't abandoned the core gamer.

Michael Pachter is always wrong.

Therefore, Nintendo has abandoned the core gamer.

The proof is clear as day.

Pachter figures that the Big N will pull in some $3.9 billion for the quarter, adding up to a $17.7 billion take for the entire year. If Nintendo has indeed abandoned the core, who could blame 'em? That's "**** you" money, right there."

So Patcher says don't worry all you hardcore gamers.......look at Nintendos WALLET!!!!! They are making a ton of money, rejoice.......oh wait, he actually forgot to show actual GAMES that prove they haven't dropped support. Anyone taking this guy seriously is a die hard sheep.

I actually agree with Pachter this time, I still se Wii catering to the veteran Nintendo gamers. I mean you still get Mario titles and Zelda titles etc etc and you will carry on getting these titles that Nintendo are well known for. I think people are just annoyed that Nintendo want to expand its business to the casual market and not only cater to the hardcore.Swift_Boss_A

The problem is Patcher's whole point from that story is, dont' worry because Nintendo is getting rich. What they heck does that have to do with giving core gamers somethign to play? This guy is drinking the koolaid. I admit as a BUSINESS Nintendo is doing terrific. As a game console for gamers, in my opinon (as well as many others apparently) no.

so all they have to do is SAY they are working on "stuff" and that's good enough for you people? Heck why do they even go to conferences or have shows if all you people need is a "we are working on zelda, mario, pikmin, star fox, donkey kong, metriod, and Kid Icarus". That way it saves sheep kleenex next time.

I have decided one thing .Whenever I see someone supporting the wii or someone who only owns a wii for gaming.I wont comment on the topic at all .I will just say one thing.And here it is

"I feel sorry for you tc"

That was the very defintion of DAMAGE CONTROL. When you start it off by saying "doesn't matter". It clearly DOES matter or people wouldn't be up in arms over it. Right now you dont' even have a guestimate for those supposed titles in the works. It could be 2010.......congrats, you sheep have taken the "just wait" title from cows.
