Arrow Nintendo's Marketing Stratedgy

Like many of you, when I first purchased the Wii, I believe that it would be one of the single greatest inventions in history, it would revolutionize the gaming world. Though, I played it for a few months, purchased a few games, and then patiently waited for something worthy of my money to hit the stores. Well years have passed and I'm not exactly happy with what I've seen from Nintendo. Now, not to upset the fan-boys, I love Nintendo, its just I'm not so happy with their current stratedy, marketing to the casual gamers of the world. However, this has helped them grow exponentially when we are talking in financial terms, but at the expense of losing some of the older "hardcore" fanbase.

Do you think this was the most logical movement?
Discuss what you would like to see Nintendo do in the future, or what they could have done differently in terms with the Wii.

I like my wii, am not a wii hater (i have 2), but i think Nintendo need to make more games for the hardcore peeps. Also more online games please.

I'm one of the few people here who still likes Nintendo. They're making casual games, but they're also making hardcore ones, and these are the games I like to see from Nintendo and why I like them. Their franchises are the best IMO. And btw, this doesn't mean I don't like other games.

I own a wii, and I loved it for the first year because of zelda and metroid prime mostly, then Nintendo furthered my love for them with the release of brawl. Ever since, they haven't interested me in any way. Mostly because I think they have been focusing too much with the Wii games. (Wii fit,wii play, wii music,etc.)

Only the fanboys that are too unfortunate to own a real gaming console or a decent gaming PC are actually content with the games. And they're probably just lying to themselves to try and justify their purchase.

I don't really care.

If what they're doing is making them $$$, good luck to them!

I must admit I did that for a little while, then wii fit was the final straw. I didn't even want it...my mom did, and she bought it. That's when I knew nintendo was failing for people like me.

Nintendo should continue to make games for the casual crowd, but enough is enough. I miss the pre-Wii Nintendo. I haven't bought a single game from Nintendo since just before E3 2008. Nintendo really needs to go back to the old formula and make hardcore games again.

The good thing about the wii is that it has more good exclusives than the n64. The wii will most likely not beat the ps2 on exclusive games though. That system was just the greatest when it came to them. Ps2 is still my all time favourite console.

They need to appeal more to the hardcore crowd. The occasional casual game is okay, but Nintendo is going overboard. The hardcore should come first.
