Nintendo stock downgraded on fears of slowing system demand

does making an actual new IP one of those cards?

count as*

Why make a new IP? What's the point of taking a game and change the characters, like every generic shooter?

Besides... Nintendo has created more new IP's than Sony.

Yikes, if video games devs have the same mentality as you, Fernando, the video game industry would eventually grind to a hault..

"Besides... Nintendo has created more new IP's than Sony."

This has nothing to do with Sony so what's your point???? Sony has released a lot of new IP's on the PS3 platform. Off the top of my head I can think of Lair, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and Resistance. In fact these were some of the top games on the platform during its first year. Obviously this year a lot of releases will be rehashes but all highly anticipated. There are also some good exclusive new IP's like Haze, Afrika, White Knight Chronicles and Heavy Rain. Also, LA Noire could still be an exclusive although I question this after the latest rumor was posted.

Anyway.....

I think that Nintendo's biggest problem is going to be the rest of the year after Mario Kart in terms of exclusives. From what I have seen they don't have any new or old IP's coming out that look any good. Samba De Amigo and the Wii Music Orchastreal game could be good but other than that the titles are really lacking. I think we could see the stock drop because you can't expect this console shortage to go on for so long and eventually not hurt sales.

Thos show how you PS3 fanboys can be very stupid...

So, just because Nintendo has ot announced more titles after Mario Kart... so, that means that thats the last game?

I have read a lot of times: "So, after Mario Kart, is over for Nintendo, they don't have anymore games" Thats the most stupid thing ever...

By your logic, after Final Fantasy XIII there will not be any more PS3 game.

Haze? Haze is being published by Ubisoft.

@Fernando

Why so quick to pull the fanboy card out of your a$$??? I just made a simple point and you go and get all mad and puffy on me. I own all the consoles and can look at this from an objective point of view. All I was saying is that the big time Wii exclusives that we know of for 2008 are Wii Fit, SSBB and MArio Kart. I even mentioned Samba De Amigo and the Music Orchastra game from Nintendo. DOnt take stuff so personal and go all willy nily calling someone a fanboy when you Sir are the biggest Zealot and fanboy on the entire site. From the list I have seen comparing the Wii's exclusive lineup in 2008 and the 360 & PS3 the Wii does not appear to have as many good exclusives. So it could be a simple fact of the games not being announced or it could be that they plan for a big 2009. I have no idea. You need to learn not to take things to hear and have an adult discussion on the matter.

Seriously everyone has their favorite games and I think just like you love SSBB and MArio Kart other love FF & MGS just as much or Ninja Gaiden and Gears Of War. You have to be such a snotty brat about and pull the famboy card out of your a$$. Grow Up. Your the one who mentioned Sony anyway in a Nintendo post because you have such contempt in your heart.

I have also ranted and called people fanboys when I shouldn't have. I am just going to chalk your comments up to wearing your heart on your sleeve and give you the benefit of the doubt.

As per your claim on new IP's I gave you 4 off the top of my head that released on the PS3 last year. Tell me all the Nintendo IP's that were in such larger numbers than the PS3 last year. Because I am dying to hear them. Let Me guess your going to call Donkey Kong Barrell Blast, Galaxy and the scuba diving games, am I right?

@Fernando

Haze???


Well i said off the top of my head didn't I?

Anyway I said exclusive new IP's... So crucify me for getting one technically wrong

"Thos show how you PS3 fanboys can be very stupid"

this coming from the same guy who just tried to defend nintendo by saying why make new IPs? I guess some people really are happy playing the same thing for 20 years.

and no there will be more games after mario kart. There will be another animal crossing, another star fox, another f-zero, another donkey kong, another kirby. Then we get to the next console where there will be ANOTHER mario, ANOTHER zelda, and ANOTHER ssb.

In between these titles will be mountains and mountains of shit titles. Seriously this has been going on for years now how can some of you not get this by now?

"Yikes, if video games devs have the same mentality as you, Fernando, the video game industry would eventually grind to a hault.."


Yeah you guys, because true innovation comes through a different graphic for your guy in your same-ass shooter!

There are fantards who would call Mario Kart a rehash of Mario Galaxy because the character is the same. These people need to be fed to wild animals.

Besides, Fernando already said it. Let's face it, fantards, the sheer amount of content in Smash Brothers is objective proof of how many different franchises Nintendo has created. Just because they're not making a new one every week doesn't mean you should start puking all over the internet about it.

Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, and Wii Music don't count as new IPs?

I thoroughly enjoy waiting on the new Zeldas and the new Metroids. New marios, yes, but to a lesser degree (only the 3D platformers, thanks.). It is my personal opinion that these are the only 3 franchises that Nintendo, nay, anyone can get away with repeating this many times.

Don't forget about WiiWare launch in May, and the secret game that Reggie mentioned...

Ad the game from Monolith Soft... and the game from Factor 5... and don't forget about the sales that Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers will boost in Japan.

And still a lot of Nintendo franchises to be released.

Well even so I do not think Wii fit will have any staying power and will suffer a similar fate as Time Crisis 3's Gun Con adapter. Your basicaly paying a lot of money for a periphial that can only be used (to this point) for one game. When you really look at it SSBB, Mario Kart and Wii fit are the only must have (somewhat must have in Wii fits case) exclusives for 2008. It all looks good now but I don't think that Wii Fit will have the same legs as Mario Kart and SSBB. I could be wrong of course.

Dear Fernando
The Wii has had it's day, it will be remembered for it's marketing and a few good games.
It's time to let go mate.

The Nintendo fanboy force has arrived!

Arrived? They live here.

lol... you guys are acting like the Wii suddenly stop selling just because this thread.

really... poor guys.

Wow, I get minused for stating the obvious, now?

Kinda sad...

Goons like you and Fernando should get "minused" for stating anything.

Way to be a jerk, chief.

Wii Fit? Please tell me you're joking. Honestly, I can see Wii eventually slowing down in sales, but not really any time soon. The demand on it is still pretty insane, although it's likely due to everyone who scoops up every last Wii in sight in hopes of selling them for $400-500 still. Hardly any worthwhile third-party games get the appropriate levels of attention, as Nintendo fanboys only buy games that're made by Nintendo. It's actually pretty sad.

Honestly, while I own a Wii, I'd be much happier if it hadn't caught on so well with the mainstream. I have a feeling that the games would be better as a whole.

lol

"Vince UK": confirmed underage.

GTFO my interweb.

"Your basicaly paying a lot of money for a periphial that can only be used (to this point) for one game"

Namco has already made a skiing game that uses the board.

Everyone who downvoted Samfish's Wiifit prediction,

I absolutely guarantee you you will be surprised. Damn, you guys live in an echo chamber sometimes. The casuals will eat that up like you will not believe. See also: Japan.

Wow. The PSFanboys are really out enmass tonight. Getting pissy in your high chair are we now? This weekend the Wii will still be higher than the PS3 and XBox 360 in Japan when it's posted on Joystiq. Same will apply in America and Europe as well actually.

I have to agree with Samfish and Fernando. The Wii is far from dead. It is still sold out in many places and no, not because Nintendo is 'restricting stock to make it seem like there is a demand.'

There will be many games to come out after Mario Kart Wii, and they'll not be absolute crap. If I was a PS3 fanboy I'd not go about bragging about Lair after the amount of shit has been written about it in reviews and such. I'd also not go bitching about the same games over and over. Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawk, Colin McRae, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot (rip off of Mario btw) etc have had numerous games, and each the damn same (except the Crash karting games which ripped off Mario Kart immensely).

It's okay fanboys, you had your time 2 generations ago, now just let the tears flow and get over it you little whiny bitches.

'Your basicaly paying a lot of money for a periphial that can only be used (to this point) for one game. '

This is any different than Rock Band how?

Actually as already said its different because there will be more than one game using the Wii Fit balance board...

Agreed with Anni. I can already see Wii Fit being used on the Today Show and all that jazz.

Most basement dwelling gaming nerds won't like it of course, but that's the truth.

@ Samfish

For want of a less "urban" term, they're just hatin'.

Part of the resentment that something they don't like is selling...

Bowed?

Congratulations. You have just won the prize for most ignorant comment of the year.

He rests his cast.

Roto13, I don't think he understands our language. Best translate as such:

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Most ignorant comment

Fads sell like KayRazy for about 2 years....and then the bottom falls out like Dubya's intelligence level. Oh wait...bad analogy, Dubya never had any intelligence to speak of.
Fernandos...er I mean Client #9
It is becoming more and more obvious that you and you fellow fanboys are becoming more and more desperate everyday.

The PS3 will WIN this generation. When this generation comes to a close...the PS3 will have by far the most diverse gaming library and the best games.

It is unavoidable, you like your Father....are now MINE!!

A Spitzer reference, eh, Killjebus?

No, they are saying that the Wii is the video gaming equivalent of Beanie Babies.

Oh please. You can't say that anything that sells well is a "beanie baby". By that logic the PS2 was a fad going into its thrid year. And no, they aren't saying that. They're saying they expect sales of the wii to "slow," which yes, sales will slow. They should have slowed a long time ago. This machine will be available in stores at some point...

What's this? Logic? In this thread?

No, it can't be!
