Nintendo have done good with this christmas' line up though, with lots of quality games/

F-zero, mario kart, metal gear solid.

Lets just hope the releases don't slip.

If nintendo weren't such 'tards and listened to us - the gamers, maybe they'd be doing better.

But seeing as how "the nintendo difference" actually means beind spaz's and not listening and giving back to loyal gamers, they kinda got themselves into this mess.

The GBA and GBA SP are selling well, because they actually put effort into advertising, but they don't do anything to advertise the gamecube, they did at the start but now they've given up.

I love nintendo but if they're gonna be stubborn then i might have doubts about getting the next console.

They just need to learn that "the same" isn't always a bad thing, 1 online game in 4 months just isn't good enough.

The GBA link-up's a good idea but they need more than one good idea, or even just one GREAT idea.

I just hope for the N5 they advertise more, come up with good ideas, have less kiddy games, have more good games - long games, and lose this stupid kiddy image.
(as in - don't make it purple, it sucks)

They say they want to make "less complicated" games.

What the feck does that Iwata guy smoke?

Jeez. Nintendo need to get their act together.

Why are you all worried?

"So in a bid to recapture sales, Nintendo has said it will move back to products that anyone can play and enjoy"

Erm.. move BACK to products?

As in like it used to be?


I don't know about you, but that was when games were really games, as in, well, the real Nintendo.

I have faith... still.

Indeed. Maybe they should look on this forum, we could teach them a thing or two!

I sense a price cut must be around the corner ?

They must have millions of them in the warehouse, makes sense to stop production for now really.

If the games are cheaper it could be ok.

Like a Zelda game in episodic installments or something...

Anyway I'm off I can't stand to read anymore.

This is terrible news. Just terrible. :(
