After purchasing my gamecube i got a wee bit of buyers remorse. I know NOA is screwing around with their liscencies and they are charging waay higher than Sony and MS to make games for their consoles. Nintendo of America and ESPECIALLY Nintendo of Japan has always had some control issues. I think it stems from the fact that they have been in the game for 100 years, and it's some of that good old fashioned japanese pride my grandpa used to tell me about. The real reason they are hurting right now is the mindset of their consumers has changed. I've touched on this before in other threads.. but Today's gamers are very content with buying crap. Even if they don't keep the game.. those units are getting sold. Thefore have to try as hard to make a game good, they just have to hype it up. DOA BeachVolleyball?, State of Emergency?, do any of those ring a bell? Sure nintendo does have some crap games.. but at least they are trying to be innovative. The problem is their corporate office is stubborn.. and while i love them for being stern, if they dont learn to roll with the punches they are going to get left behind or become a 3rd party software vendor because this isn 1985 and they arent the biggest dog in the yard anymore. That is a VERY embarassing position to have to take because you almost ran yourself into the ground by not changing with the times. I hope they make it through this.. and I hope Sony and Microsoft show me something like a sense of compassion for their products in the future.. Games should never be a graphics/ hardware race like it is now.
