[QUOTE="yoshi_64"][QUOTE="meetroid8"][QUOTE="-RPGamer-"] [QUOTE="yoshi_64"] Frankly, i'm concerned too that Nintendo would usher more money and advertising to games like Wii Fit over something like third party support, or new IPs or heck... just games more likely for the core audience. (Where's my Pikmin 3 :| ) Shinobishyguy
Exactly. Where's this big money on the core games that made them who they are after all this time? Also, like you said I doubt new titles like Pikmin 3, Kid Icarus 3 (wishful thinking on my part :)) etc will get anywhere near the same love. That's kind of sad to me. I understand the attraction of the new market and it's money, and that's cool there's room enough for that... however, I don't like watching core games that carried the company to this point get a fraction of the marketing.
Just to brighten your guys' day Pikmin 3 is probably the big announcement. What other game appeals to both casuals and hardcores?My guess is Pikmin 3 is NOT the big announcement. Call it a hunch if you wish, but Pikmin was more the core audience. If anything, it could be a nice tie in for both the core and non-gamer categories, but somehow I'm going to say that won't happen. Likely because it would be the "Third" installment in a series, that alone could make Nintendo think otherwise.Why you ask? Partly because it's very rare that most games succeed more than their predescessors by gaining new market. If anything, most games typically get less and less or just stay the same. Pikmin hardly had a large following, I believe the second game sold pretty poorly if I wasn't mistaken.
Well they better have something planned for the core gamer later this year. I think I speak for many nintendo fans when I say that I wouldn't touch wiifit with a 80 foot poll.It's good to try new things, you might like the the game if you tried it.
