Nintendo Announces 2010 Releases

[DrDeath3191]

ive said it once, and i'll say it a dozen times, forget nintendo, they've blown off their fans and are completely uninterested in releasing high-quality first party titles (new super mario bros wii is a freakin lame remake of a remake) and they can't even work with third party developers to deliver squat. i'm perfectly happy with my pc, ps3, and 360. at least there's five DIFFERENT games on EACH platform worth getting

Red Steel 2
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
No More Heroes 2
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll
Mega Man 10
And Yet It Moves
Super Meat Boy
Max & the Magic Marker
Warioware DIY
Dementium II
Sands of Destruction
Pokemon Heart Gold/soul Silver
Shin Megami Tensei:Strange Journey

Five games for DS
Eight Games for Wii

Let's see...
Red Steel 2 = sequel to an extremely disappointing release game
Tatsunoko v. Capcom = don't care for Tatsunoko and probably many people (general consumers) don't know who that company is
No More Heroes 2 = the only one I'll consider playing by renting, the first was good by the open world was an illusion and was too short for its own good
Super Monkey Ball = utter crap
Mega Man 10 = it looks the same as the old mega man that i can play for free on roms
And Yet It Moves = already available on PC and while unique, not interested
Super Meat Boy = available on Steam
Max and the Magic Marker = never heard of it and probably never will again
WarioWare DIY = a quirky collection of 50 microgames thats over before you know it
Dementium 2 = the first was decent, but a waste of money to buy(worth a rental)
Sands of Destruction = never heard of and don't care for
Pokemon = grew out of it after Pokemon Blue
Shin Megami Tensei:Strange Journey = never heard of and just researched it, not interested

So the list of games you provided are what sums up the big N in 2010, and none of them will break past 500,000 copies (with the exception of pokemon obviously). Sure some these games might be "good", but will they be worth paying the full $50 (wii) or $25 (ds) for ownership? maybe only pokemon, but thats for a group i don't belong to

Red Steel 2: Just because its a sequel to a passable game doesn't mean that its going to be crap. Ubisoft is genuinely trying to make this one significantly different from its predessor. Whether it will be good OR bad has yet to be proven.
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: The fact that Capcom is relying almost solely on the demand of the game's import fans mean that there IS an audience for it
No More Heroes 2: They've listened to the complaints of the first game and are genuinely trying to improve on the open world
Super Monkey Ball: Adventure notwithstanding, all of the console games in the series have seen positive critical acclaim. And how do you know if it will be crap before it even comes out?
Mega Man 10: Your excuse is that you can play them all ILLEGALLY on roms? Really?
And Yet it Moves/ Super Meat Boy: I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't use PCs for games and would want both
Max and the Magic Marker: Go look it up. It has the potential to be the best WiiWare game of the year.
WarioWare DIY: Until you remember that you can go online to make and download user-created content, which, while I'm sure some will not want, others will be glad to look into
Dementium II: Like NMH2, the developers are taking the critism seriously and improving on them in the sequel.
Sands of Destruction: a unique and cliche twisting RPG from Sega
Shin Megami Tensei: Also a unique RPG from Atlus

All your excuses make no sense, have been disproven, or are based on your own subjective opinion. There are plenty of people who would be willing to play these games. Also, see my previous comment about their release timing.

Very well then, let me simplify my opinion even further: NONE of these games appeal to me. The only ones that have been commercially successful are Pokemon and Red Steel (because it was a launch title). These games may all get positive critical acclaim like you say, but as we all know positive acclaim doesn't always translate to great sales.

Because here's the BIGGEST problem Nintendo has with its third party developers: they do not help at all with marketing the game. Normally this would fall to the publishers in the 360 and PS3 realm, but with Nintendo, they've given up all hope that they can make great profits on the system. Thus Nintendo would need to show off the games to the right audiences, but they don't even try. Besides, these games will appear on shelves and be lost in the droves of shovelware that comes out for the Wii. And also the RPGs released on the DS are hardly ever given any attention in the gaming media or advertisements in general. So only a few people will actually buy the games.

Isn't it the job of the game's publisher to advertise and market the game, and not Nintendo themselves? Why the hell should it be their job to do the marketting?

Oh goody. More goddamn Pokemon. Isn't that corpse just about a shriveled bloodless mummy at this point?

The games make money, and while I'll agree that the RPGs could stand to have some new ideas pumped into them, the general consensus seems to be that they're still great.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

Wii and DS games I'm looking forward to are:...

No More Heroes 2
red Steel 2
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Metroid: The Other M
Golden Sun DS


Probably more to ocme.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Hmmm. Metroid: Other M still not declared, the SMG expansion still pretending, and still not even a date that they'll announce a title to a potential new Zelda. New Pokemon, though, so at least the children will be happy. Oh, wait, no, it's the old pokemon. On the bright side, at least we won't have to learn another 100 names.

Nintendo is out of ideas tbh.

Woah woah...What's up with this article? This article is nothing like this.

Huh. That looks more professional than this news post. And it was more informative. Thanks for the link.

I'll take that as a compliment. *was the one who wrote that article*

 

[Paragon Fury]

The Wii Zelda is coming out when HL2: Episode 3 comes out.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

The Wii? Meh. Totally meh, wasn't expecting any less given the systems track-record but still...two new controllers? That's it? Nintendo are becoming more pathetic as the days roll by.

Considering the list only accounts for Q1, Wii has Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, No More Heroes 2, Red Steel 2, Super Meat Boy, And Yet It Moves, Max & the Magic Marker, Mega Man 10, and Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll. I'd argue this should be enough to hold us over.

Oooh! I forgot about Tastunoko and the second No More Heroes.

Also did I miss something? Mega Man 10? When did that happen?

Nintendo Power [http://nintendopower.com/images/NP250_DLmega.jpg] revealed Megaman 10 for WiiWare a few days ago, so you're not too far behind.

 

[hypothetical fact]

The list of games has been posted several times yet I will still disregard them all to buy Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2. They all cost the same money so the Nintendo defence force should know that they must be compared.

 

[Once a Human]

I miss River City Ransom :'(

 

[Hippobatman]

I'm a bit ashamed when I think about how incredibly much I want the new Pokémon remakes...

[sub]I'm such a fanboy..[/sub]

 

[soulasylum85]

hmmm another dissapointment from nintendo..... cant really say im surprised, although i was hoping for a zelda that wasnt tainted by horrible touch controls or cartoon graphics

Wii games are about $10 less than HD ones. I know it isn't much, but it should be stated.
