Nintendo's Kaplan says 'Gamers were bored before Wii'

Oct 15th 2007 3:40PM (Joystiq)
This makes a lot of sense from Nintendo's perspective.

THEIR gamers were getting bored of playing the same mario, zelda, donkey kong, wario ware, mario [sport], pokemon, pkimin, etc, etc... over and over again.

So, they needed a gimmick to sell their fanbase into buying their next generation console. So, now, nintendo fans are playing mario, zelda, donkey kong, wario ware, mario [sport], pokemon, pkimin, etc, etc... with motion controls instead of the controller.

Except for Smash of course.. putting broken waggle controls in that would basically prove everyones point that waggle is a gimmick used to sell Wii to the masses and oldskool nintendo fans not willing to let go of the past.

Joystiq hands-on: Link's Crossbow Training (Wii)

Now, that would be truly innovative.. a multiplayer Warhawk type game set within the Zelda universe, theres enough material there. But, that would be too time consuming to develop and beyond the skill level of typical wii owners.. so, more mini-games it is.

Nintendo market cap at $85bln, "almost double" Sony's

Wow, thats like $40 billion per non-minigame on the Wii. Have fun with your WiiFit, Pokemon 56, and Cooking Mama 13 guys... jump for joy all you want, thats what is driving their sales and what you will get more of.

Stop whining guys; at least you can pop in your XBOX games to keep you busy.. oh wait a minute; no HDD = no backwards compatibility.. i guess you can pony up the $100 for the 20gb version to enable that feature, eh?

Typical Joystiq responses to game delays or previews...

Delays in NintendoLand = Awesomes.. gives them time to polish the game up

Delays everywhere else = Bad

Rondo is too big.. esp. if they take the CD image... notice they never confirmed TG-CD games.. just the non-CD games.. same with sega and neogeo.

Too bad Wii is gimped with 512mb of built in memory.. you can get a 512mb usn thumbstick for $5 nowadays.

Meh, I'll be playing the Real Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360 in a few months... maybe it will be ported to Wii 4.0 in 2017.

This one has no backwards compatibility if playing original xbox games are important to you.
