Ubi: NX will "recapture lapsed Wii players," Nintendo "addressing the family market"
- Thread starter Father_Brain

Thanks for the reminder that 3rd parties are of no relevance to Nintendo.

What did we honestly expect, the Just Dance guy to say that they're bringing it to the NX because Nintendo's striking out for the core audience?

Nintendo hasn't really cared about those since the DS and Wii, so it doesn't mean anything to them. If you mean the Nintendo core, well those will be just fine and get the Nintendo games they want and some extra stuff from 3rd party deals here and there as usual.

been calling this for a long time, they will gimmick it up again. No surprise from me Been saying it for months.
Nintendo games dead to me for another generation because of borked consoles... sigh. Expected but saddening all the same.

It has always been part of the Nintendo market in some way or the other.
Although obviously, Nintendo has been affected because how accessible interactive enterteinment has become in live essential devices like Smart phones.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Can you feel it?
Pretty much. We literally know nothing about the machine.

After seeing Zelda
I am very optimistic about NX
And honestly? It doesnt need to be overly powerful. Just powerful enough, cheap and packed with great features (something WiiU STILL LACKS) and great games

It will recapture them because they will be able to play NX games on their phones, and on their tablets, and on their PS4s! NX is not a console!

and they called me crazy when I pointed out how problematic the Ubi Just Dance announcement was few days ago
The funny thing is, from all of these games, only Just Dance got announced for NX. Pretty much tells you what's happening.
This is exactly what I implied in my post, good reading comprehension as always

Some of the games were great. The console was not.

If NX wants that family market then they need to try and get an absolutely stunning Mario Kart in for/around launch. Mario Kart is the one franchise that even my friends who don't like Nintendo love.

It tells you that as long as you have a phone, you can play Just Dance.
It was supposed to be sarcasm, but agreed.

I think the biggest message is that of all the games at Ubisoft's conference, the only one they announced for the NX was Just Dance.
Edit: Beaten!

Power isn't the problem if it's priced accordly. But if it's to get another expensive underpowered console... this isn't going to cut it out. Unless they have the most amazing library ever.

The NX is a smart watch.
But really, I'm not looking forward to the gimmick that's supposed to capture the family audience. I feel like they're chasing a market that has left the building.

Or died, in the case of those folks in retirement homes.
I've made myself sad now
I laughed. Now I feel ashamed of myself.

Wow that guy basically said exactly what we did not want to hear
Slightly confused...
Wasn't the WiiU also familly focused?
Or does he mean on a cost level perhaps (not having a screen on the pad maybe making it more affordable) ?
Or maybe as related to Ubi, this time Nin doesn't plan to try to overlap by producing titles like ZombiU or Bayonetta2?

They just need to source current mass produced components
Done and Done
And it looks like thats what they are doing.

Speculation on one quote and all...
The Wii's sales numbers were a complete fluke and not indicative of where the video game market is heading. People wanted Wii sports for the novelty and once the luster of new wore off, Wii consoles the world over universally sat under TVs collecting dust.

Why are people jumping to negative conclusions? The Wii was an amazing system. It got third party support

They are delusional if they think they're ever going to recapture that market. Those people are playing on their smartphones and tablets now.

nothing really. The Wii had plenty of good games that weren't aimed at casuals.
Aslong as games are there, i'm in.
