We all love Nintendo but there's quality is certainly going down the drain. This could actually be worse then the WiiU thoughts?

Nintendo has really goofed this time. First they make themselves irrelevant in the console race, now they're practically handing mobile control to Apple and Android.
I didn't watch the video, but isn't it supposed to be for small children?
Although to be fair to Nintendo, they're facing Sony and Microsoft. They're a little outclassed when it comes to resources.
Well my question is, does Nintendo really need an amazing console to be a great company.
No.
I love Nintendo because of nostalgia, that is what Nintendo is. Reliving classics, if they just keep doing that, they would be a hit. Super smash bros was successful because it brought back memories. Nintendo used to do things right, and I hope they drop out of the console race. Mabye they should spend a few years polishing a console that could play all Nintendo made games. Anything that was ever comparable with a Nintendo system. Then release this new console. It would be a HIT, they need to remember how that got to where they are. What happened to Quality vs Quantity???
Nintendo will never die, no matter what..
I mean if you have playstation or a xbox you can still buy a wii or a ds and have a total different library of games for each
Plus the games that wii has like Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokémon, etc,... are just so popular !!
Wii can't compete with playstation and xbox but that didn't stop her to sell more then them !!
I'm a playstation guy, i grew up with playstation (and N64 😜) but i still buy a Wii U and 3DS simply because of the history that nintendo has, it pave the way for ps and xbox (and also because Mario Party is awesome 😝)
Nintendo is great, my favorite game to this day is Mario Carts on my Nintendo64 but yeah, recently...they suck.
Only reason I will every buy the 3DS is to finish off my Kingdom Hearts collection. :)
If you have ever played a game on XBox or Playstation (especially Call of Duty) and then gone and played it on a Wii, you would realize how much it sucks...Although Nintendo has an interesting spot in the handheld market.

leaving out the Cd-I games of course

focusing too much on grafics takes away from game play
As long as Nitendo is pushing out Zelda games, I'll continue to live in a Nintendo household. A Link to the Past aside, Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game.
Although the 2DS looks goofy, I get why they're doing it. Holiday season is coming up, and they need a new product to push. Wii U dropped right before Christmas last year. If I didnt already have a 3DS XL, I would MAYBE buy a 2DS simply for its cheaper price tag, even though it looks like a slice of cake.
On a different note, what does the 2ds do differently? I didn't have any sound on the video

Plays 3DS games without the 3D and is backwards compatible with DS games. That's basically it. And it doesn't fold. It's stationary.

I'm not talking about graphics, the controls suck. You aim at the person and pull the trigger but you always have to adjust for the sensor being on top or on the bottom of the tv, not in the middle and I feel the game is clumsier than when you play on any other console.
Oh. Well, that's a valid reason for that argument then
Long live Link and Samus Aran
You have to look at the market share they want. Play station and Xbox are for people in high school and up. Nintendo target market is for the grammar school kids. Nintendo started kidding down their devices in the n64 days.
Argus, Nintendo isn't a system meant to run those types of games. Controls are weak, because they didn't want people to really think they were going to be that type of console.
I think just moving to deving would be good because in a few years there going to end up like sega and possibly stay in the handheld market but that's it

Lol please, Microsoft and Sony will never be able to make games like Nintendo does
Nintendo is going after more casual gamer you can see that with the wii consoles but they should still make things that don't suck I love Nintendo but there performance is not satisfactory
I grew up on Nintendo
SNES->N64->XBOX->Wii->XBOX 360
That's pretty much the consoles I played as I got older, 2/5 Microsoft and 3/5 Nintendo
Microsoft always tried to deliver great graphics, sound, game quality, controls, and gameplay. On the other hand, Nintendo focuses much more on general gameplay experience than game quality. Old Nintendo > New Nintendo
Obviously, they live off their classics, and that's what they need to stick to. New consoles aren't nintendo's forte, they should just stick with nostalgic platformer or fighting or racing games, because that's what they do best. If I want to play CoD or BF ill use my Xbox.
Could you imagine if they re-released a N64 and the games for like 3 months?

Would buy so many
The hardware isn't what wins me over. It's the gameplay, artistry, and storytelling. The library of classics and the modern takes on those same games is what has kept me with Nintendo. To be honest I've enjoyed my 360 but it was an afterthought to my Wii and its library of retro titles. Sony & Microsoft, as solid as they are, will never win my consumer loyalty in the same way because they didn't define the games I played when I was 7 years old. Furthermore no one, barring bathesda, has made a game that pulled me in like the classic NES and SNES games of yore (Zelda, Mario 3, FF6, etc)
I normally use my computer and Xbox, but I I wish one thing for Nintendo...make more super smash bros!!
Sony moving toward small developers and independents seems pretty cool to me. Nintendo has nothing that interests me, but im also no a kid anymore. I'm sure children still enjoy Nintendo games.

I was referring to the 2ds with "what the heck is that"
I don't like it. I like how it is backwards combatable, but still.
I'm looking for my non-handheld console by them to do that. Something that scans the disc, or cartridge what have you, so I can play Every Super Smash Bros on one system.
They should remake the old games (Icarus, DK, Mario, ETC), with the same storylines and everything, EXCEPT with new, fancy graphics.
They already do that with the Mario games
I know. It was just an example.
And I think they might be remaking a few Zelda games for the handhelds

Oracle of Ages ❤
I used to be such a huge Nintendo fan back when they were the monopoly of video games. But they have to come out with something revolutionary to keep up with the new systems. What I WILL give Nintendo is that they have the handheld market on lockdown and have had it that way for a LONG time with their game boy.

the terrain looks almost identical to a link to the past
Oh. It's the same world. That's why :P
I believe it's a remake
I don't think so. You couldn't become a drawing. I think it's a sequel

ya......why does he hafta become a drawing?????? I mean seriously just make him merge into a wall and look NORMAL!
I've been Playing Metroid Fusion alot lately..
I love the metroid games
Metroid is fusion and metroid prime corruption are my all time favs!
I just finished my 100% speedrun... Finished in 1:49... Now to make it faster.
Lol, dat spider boss though.
That guy is the hardest one of all... I literally had to reset several times because it would grab me three times in a row...
I know! And it's not even a main boss! It's like the impossible half-way-through-mission mini boss from hell!
Which is why I save right before it, and right after... Cause otherwise the SA-X will eat you alive
Super excited for the new super smash bros!:D
Yeah that looks good

Villager seems a little OP...
Megaman sound kinda complicated.
And wii fit trainer is just... There...
If they brought back doctor Mario, and Roy, and mewtwo, then I would get my system immeadietly. But sadly they don't... I really wanted roasalina to be there! She would have been so cool! X3

Honestly I think wii fit trainer is a dumb addition :O but the rest look pretty cool I think :D Mewtwo was AWESOME XD I hope they bring him back. I'm kinda curious which Pokemon will be in this one and I hope they speed link back up to melee speed xD I hated how much they slowed him down in brawl
Mega man is always one of my favs.
