It's mostly third party publishers who make the games. Nintendo allows them to make it and put it on the Wii. And why wouldn't they? It makes perfect sense for them. They don't make the game, or have anything to do with it really, but they make money? They're all over those deals. It spreads their audience and makes them money. Nintendo has it's IP's that make money. Really, the only main IP Nintendo has that sees massive amounts of daylight is the Mario series. There's one Zelda game every 1 or 2 years, and Kirby will see some action every so often. What of their other hit IP's? Starfox? F-Zero? They've still got plenty of action waiting. I can't wait to see what Starfox and F-Zero will look like on the Wii. IP is intellectual property, by the way. A lot of people assume that Nintendo does make all the kiddy games though, but then it would be even more so ironic to say that Nintendo makes more mature games for a different auidence than it does with childish games for a more casual wide auidence. Nintendo's been basically trying to do that even before the Wii came out anyway... But this is the problem that lies in itself in which I hate agreeing with game reviewer Yahattze - Imagine a world were games of today didn't have bloody over-produced sequels firing out of the guillet every half a year or so? Or a world where a sequel would take more than a year - especially with smash hits like Zelda so they can at least take there bloody time on the thing and make it stream out with originality and beautiful gameplay? But there's an arguement for this which could be the following: They would loose money if they kept most of there smash hits on hold for years as people would grow tiresome of the console itself or Nintendo itself and move onto a different bandwagon - such as a different console. I'd love to see Nintendo itself, not the other game companies that make these casual games - gather around a desk and think of a new original game to give us that isn't a Mario, or Zelda or Kirby or Metroid. Something that was completely new and brilliant and could, if it was so good, join the many mascots of Nintendo. I'm still rather interested to see how that new Zelda game on the DS does though, or for that matter how Madworld done. Need to buy it now =\ ...

Hello little fella! Posts: 2,147 Group: Peach Member #6,793 Joined: January 1, 2008	KatzMotel Mar 31 2009, 12:45 PM I don't know if anybody's touched on this yet, but I'm wondering if Nintendo is making a profit just by selling hardware. It seems obvious that the Wii would be the cheapest to manufacture, so it's therefore more viable for Nintendo to target casual or non-gamers who don't buy as much software, whereas Sony and Microsoft need strong software sales to make a decent profit. Yeah they do make money on eash Wii sold, I remember reading it somewhere. Can't remember how much to be exact though.I think it is something like $7 or £7. Something around that

You're a louse. Posts: 2,112 Group: Peach Member #1,802 Joined: July 2, 2006	King Leon Mar 28 2009, 03:46 AM Of course I still have faith in Nintendo. Remember how the Game Cube fell to the Xbox and PS2? I'm sure many people still stuck with Nintendo then and now we're seeing a revolution where Nintendo is dominating the market. Microsoft doesn't have a chance. "Nintendo make moar money, therefore they're a better game developer" If a console is "falling" compared to other consoles, it's a bad console - simple. I'm sensing a lot of buyer's remorse just reading the reply. Sell your Wii and buy an Xbox, chap.

They've still made games for us normal gamers, just at a slower pace. Finally, yes, the next Zelda for the DS will be good. IMO, it looks to be better than Phantom Hourglass because it doesn't have the Ocean temple. <_< Edited by Kiske, Apr 2 2009, 09:31 AM.

He's just this guy, you know? Posts: 109 Group: Bombette Member #9,995 Joined: April 20, 2008	I still have faith. Less than 1% of faith, yes, but more than 0%. >_> They're still making games for us normal gamers, but at an abysmal pace, like Kiske said.

But I think Brawl has been the only game they've worked on so far.

New hardcore gamers are being born as we speak because of Nintendo's current business plan, and as long as we stick around to see the outcome, I'm sure they'll start pumping out some more high quality games in due time. Right now they just want to find more people who will play said high quality games instead of only focusing on the little clump of people who still play Super Mario Bros. on their NES.

ChuChu Posts: 60 Group: ChuChu Member #11,461 Joined: November 29, 2008	well, this morning i tried to watch star trek on youtube. i can't, due to the intro ad now needing a higher flash to run. the ad used to run in sound only. it's hard to believe that these companies can't come together to update flash on the wii. well, at least i still have william's pinball, guitar hero, and wii fit i'm sorry you hardcore gamers bought a wii and are now disappointed. i bought it because it seems to cater to me. i like fun, colorful, light hearted games. i also have very little time to play games, so i like games i can jump in and out of. i still like my n64 better. seems like games and everything else are being further dumbed down. perhaps it's demand. i deal with the public on a daily basis. i notice the failure of education everyone used to talk about Edited by androidlove, Apr 24 2009, 08:39 AM.
