Nintendo have become a cancer to the games industy

How can the loyal nintendo fan even associate with such a company anymore?

Im not even going to get started on the Wii, so lets look at the failing 3DS. An underpowered, overpriced handheld with barely any support.

As if all the cancelled games wasn't enough, Nintendo were forced to cease their greedy tactics and reduce the price. A real kick in the nuts for early adopters .... oh wait no, nintendo are offered free crappy games that people would have never bought anyway. Reputation saved.

You can really tell Nintendo put barely any effort into the 3DS. Its a DS with 3D capabilities, woopdy doo. Wheres the innovation? Are Nintendo even trying? Its not often I say this, but at least Sony is trying something original with their next handheld.

I mean really Nintendo? You're going to release a fisher-price add on for your rushed handheld and expect people to snap it up? How such an impractical, cheap looking, ugly add-on was even be allowed past the planning stage is beyond me.

Its beyond ridiculous. What annoys me is that because its Nintendo, they get away with it. The fact that people are even remotely excited about the WiiU proves this.

The WiiU :-

• A 2012 console with outdated tech that barely surpasses current consoles that are nearing 6 years old
• It comes with a huge Leapfrog controller with unsatisfactory circle pads instead of analogue sticks and a screen destined for gimmicky features
• Only supports one WiiU controller, take it in turns kids
• Has **** all dev support, like all nintendo home consoles
• Has been giving what devs who are actually supporting it all kinds of issues as its a complete RUSHJOB of a console

Oh but its okay, its got the nintendo logo on it. More zelda and more mario. Yayy.

While i disagree with the title, that 2nd analog is just terrible. Also, how is vita original? If anything the 3DS is more original.

Unfortunately I mostly agree with what you said OP. I don't think Nintendo has become a cancer to the games industry but I agree with pretty much everything you said in your post.

Says the user, With Halo 4 avatar and sig.

Sadly all you say is true, but I just have hope Nintendo brings something good to redeem themselves.

Don't agree with the topic title, but I agree with your post, however.

EDIT: Minus the part about the Wii U. Nothing has really been confirmed about it yet.

Oh and can i just add, the press conference was a complete disappointment. I hope nintendos shares just keep falling because they need one hell of a wake-up call.RR360DD

They had a lot of games that were just plain uninteresting.

Just a handful of them were cool.

The 2nd analog just looks horrible too.

But Nintendo is far from being the Cancer of the Industry just because you don't like them....>_>

The Real Cancer is all of that DRM bull crap and Online Passes.

I wouldn't say that they are no worse then sony or microsoft.

So, what happens when developers start developing for the revised 3DS and the games are made with two "sticks" in mind? There's no logic trying to defend what Nintendo has done here, it's totally ludicrous and betrayel against loyal customers.

Its funny actually, i remember all the nintendo loyalists arguing saying it didnt need dual analogue, and that the touch screen was enough. Clearly not sheep.

If it wasn't optional then wouldn't they have said something about it in the Conference?

I smell blog material, pal.

Just because you don't like a company or product doesn't make it a "cancer" on the industry.

+1 for the hilarious title. At least it managed to grab my attention, so good job TC.:P

They won't allow it, just like all games need to be playable in 2D mode as well as 3D.

I disagree with everything you said. Also, the second analog slider is an optional attachment, it is not needed for any game.charizard1605

True, I have to agree with you... and if WiiU gets 3rd part support.. then you know what they say, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Like how I could play DSi only titles on my orignal DS lite?

That's some serious rhetoric you've got going on there TC. Some SERIOUS rhetoric.

That's nothing compared to what you think the attachment's function is.

are you serious? is this the gamecube launch or what? hilarious that people talk about COD milkage, and this is what nintendo has to offer. we've seen over half of those games in one form or another before, and in most cases, multiple entries.

There are SOME not ALL like you had claimed.

You mean like stuff you downloaded? That's a bit of a no brainer.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]I disagree with everything you said. Also, the second analog slider is an optional attachment, it is not needed for any game.RR360DD

It's also not going to be more than £10-15, and will most likely be bundled in with some of games that make use of it (I'm almost certain of it). As for the NES games? They could've done nothing, but it's a nice gesture nonetheless. As for a lack of support...did you see the conference last night? They showed a ton of software.

I can't really disagree but.......my god the 2nd analog is just ugly.....and also it need a AAA battery.....:lol:.If you want a good handheld system wait a few months more for the amazing PSVita with 2 analogs,region free and not the need for AAA battery.8)

Still, you can't say like someone did earlier in the tread that Nintendo won't lock out a lot of customers(loyal ones at that) if they don't want to buy an overpriced and tacky addon(which make it like 25% bigger at that). I'm frickin' happy right now that I decided to wait buying a 3DS.

4 actually, 5 if you include Zelda. And thats besides the point. The Wii is dead and its motion controls proven a joke. Even Nintendo have abandoned it with the WiiU.

HOWEVER, dual analogue is a standard, proven control scheme. How can you play an FPS properly on the 3DS with one analogue stick. You cant.

Yes, because both Sony and Microsoft are both FAMOUS for having only original IPs and no sequels :roll:
