i think nintendo has been doomed for awhile. maybe late wii era was when it was becoming apparent. there's a reason they're finally deciding to spread their IP to mobile devices.

It would have been better if they hadn't censored our games. Thats why they are loosing their shit

Nigger do you have any idea how much money Nintendo has in the bank?
You'll be long dead before they are
>>335670475
The Wii was a massive success but it fucked them over in the end.
Their main playerbase moved to smartphone games.

Yes, I too read the article in the OP. Also, you must be a real shitty businessman, holy shit.
>>335670842

>thinks the Wii wasn't one on Nintendo's most profitable consoles ever
So, hol' up, let me get this straight: they just said NX is coming in march 2017 and they confirmed they are showing Zelda in E3 which is still coming to Wii U?
What's all the fuzz about?
>>335670974
Casuals were like 80% of Wii's playerbase. The type that you see playing games on their phones while taking a bus or sth.
Man they achieved the living meme status today
>>335670974
>dudebros
>playing Nintendo
Unless you talk about the Smash community that is full of niggers, why would normies care about Ninty? They're too busy playing with their FIFA machines.
It's funny
Just 2 years ago they returned to profits, and good profits at that, by releasing games. And now they've released fuck all and aren't making money. My sides.
>>335670475
they need to start censoring more shit
>>335670475
Thank fucking christ I hope tgey fucking burn after the travesty that was Fireemblem Fates.

Glad I didn't waste any money on this subpar Nintendo console.
>>335670475
>Maybe we should start a campaign to buy Wii U's and Wii U software?
Not when the new Zelda isn't even going to be exclusive to the Wii U. Also

>Japanese video-game maker Nintendo Co. reported a 24 billion yen ($216 million) loss for January-March Wednesday, bigger than the loss it reported the previous year.
>For the fiscal year just ended, it earned 16.5 billion yen ($148 million), down 61 percent from the previous fiscal year.
OP is faggot, but the losses are real.
>>335670475
They better get started on that New NEW NEW 3ds XXXXL. I'm sure all their fanboys would buy it up again like retards.
They deserve it.
I stood by them since the N64 and this is honestly their worst gen ever.
The Wii U games drought are like constantly happening with slight drizzle of some games here and there.
It honestly kills hype.
Even the gamecube always had promise of new things to come.
This is just months of nothing.
No game, no information of anything, especially when they made every direct only cover upcoming content within the next season.
>>335670475
good
>>335670475
>start a campaign to buy Wii U's and Wii U software?
How about they just lower the fucking price of a fucking Wii U instead?
They saved the 3DS with a price cut, why the fuck can't they do the same with this overpriced system?
>>335670974
But SJWs are nintendo fans.
>>335670475
No fucking shit. You cunts can't stop talking about muh NX, it's one year you tell people not to buy a Wii U because "muh NX will launch soon, I swear!"
Burn in hell.
>>335670475I can't for them to die and start making PS4 games 2bh :^)Imagine the next Smash including PlayStation characters too :^)
Why does every other fucking article call nintendo "Mario maker" or "house of Mario"? holy fuck its so cringeworthy
Just die already
STOP
BULLYING

>>335670974
They do that already nigger. Nintendo paved the way for that with the Wii.
Fact
can we just let everything die
>>335679571
this
nintendo is literally the one that invited all these idiots in. gaming before that was just dedicated hardcore gamers playing whatever and being catered to. the wii fucked up the gaming landscape forever and pretty much brought smartphones and casual gaming into the spotlight.
Amiibo made up for half the money they made with software that's what fees so wrong at the moment.Can't say I'm surprised about mild profits considering there wasn't much big hits in the time frame. Zelda TP did good but isn't charted.
>worldwide Wii total tops 52 million
most people probably don't even know that there is a new consoloe, the Wii U
>>335679932
>gaming before that was just dedicated hardcore gamers
Jesus my fucking sides.
>>335680129
they'd have no reason to upgrade, dance dance revolution still release on wii. And none of the wragglan series made it on the wiiu.
>>335673241
Who would have a thought that a video game development company making video games would earn them profits?
>>335672979
Wii U to remain gameless until the NX is out
>>335679932
>tfw you can't tell if this is sarcasm or not
WE DON'T NEED NO WATER LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN, BURN MOTHERFUCKER, BURN
When will they drop out of the console business and make games on pc?
>we already have a Wii, it's collecting dust in the cupboard

>That autist yesterday who was telling everyone Nintendo was fine because of 3DS

One shit idea can bring a company to it's knees.
>>335670842
Kek
Wii was their most profitable console
Nintendo are financially secure for decades.
Compay has been going since the early 1900's
Business fag needs to go back to business fag school
>>335670475
This is because of exchange rate inflation.
Thanks Op, been looking for some good fap material
>>335670803
>>fail to attract casuals and sit on the "loyal" fanbase by censoring the fuck out of the games
Censorfags are really something special
Nintendo needs games worth censoring, then I'll start to care, until then it's a non-issue.
>>335670803
>by censoring
If you think that's the problem and not the fact that they sat on their ass on all the good IP's like F-Zero and Metroid fuck off.

dude do you really want Nintendo to keep being alive if they are just gonna continue releasing mediocre game after mediocre game.
>7 was 2009 ago
>>335677515
It's also bad form now that there is actually a product called Mario Maker.
>>335670475
thats actually an increase since they have only released one game
>>335682167
All the nintendo drones in this thread just got wrecked.
>>335670475
who cares? they could go over 20 years in a row without gaining profit
>>335682442

ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>335673779
>that was Fireemblem Fates.
Speaking of which, it sold stupidly well. Apparently 1.64m across the three games in NA alone.
I wonder what happened to Torrential Downpour fans.
>>335670475
what software? seriously.
>>335685124
1.84m*The localization still sucks whale wang.
>>335685124
So in reality around 500-600k right? Because that's what you're looking at if it didn't go the pokemon route and divided it's game into three campaigns.
>inb4 it's not like pokemon
I know that but that's what they were going for and it work.

look buddy, im here to see a woman get fucked so hard her eyes roll back, not this nintendo console war shit. Nintendos been fucked since the NES because of yamauchi. The ONLY positive side to nintendo was the handhelds and the surprise breakout wii.

He said "late wii era". By then everyone already forgot about the wii and the wii-fit crowd was already gone.
do you think they go bankrupt one day
or will the government subsidize them since its an old japanese company and part of their "culture"?
>all these retards that didn't look at the date of the article
>>335670974
THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FORETOLD!
>>335686130
Yeah, it's actually worse than what retard OP posted.
See: >>335682167
>>335686248
Not entirely true.
It shows that they pretty much hit the anticipated finincial outcast. Not releasing games will net you a lower target, that's just the way it is.
>>335686697
I expect next years isn't going to be pretty with what looks like a pretty big Wii U drought, and how late they are releasing NX though
>>335670803
More like
>release undeperforming hardware in 3x the time as anyone else
>don't make any new ips, just make "sequels" (which are actually just rehashes with more shiny graphics)
>lose money
>>335685852
>yamauchi pissed off almost every single dev and publisher with the NES era contracts. Only reason he doesnt sue the living shit out of everyone post genesis launch was because it would almost bankrupt nintendo to just file
>genesis beats SNES so goddamn hard yamauchi hired yakuza to hang around sega arcades to hurt them and SNES only surpassed the genesis sales almost 2 years after the genesis was discontinued for the saturn and only even got that high because DKC came out right at the end of the genesis's life. Miyamoto was so god damn salty about it that he insulted everyone who liked it even in passing
>n64 was a trainwreck and a pile of lies from the beginning of R&D all the way through development and post launch. It was hard to code for, it has massive problems, it was limited as fuck size wise, nintendo was charing 13$ per unit to produce the cartridge (and if you didnt go through nintendo, you didnt get your game ON nintendo), was being an even BIGGER bitch towards devs/publishers and was just a sad console all around. This doesnt even take into account the horrendous lies made by nintendo and its n64 co-creators
>NGC was the best thing to happen from nintendo since the GB, where they actually got their heads out of their ass and got REAL help from the outside, and actually did things RIGHT. easy to code for, no weak specs, designed from the ground up to work well with all the parts, extremely easy dev tools, etc. People didnt like the small disc space and working with nintendo
>Wii was their only legit hit since the NES console wise. And the only reason it got as many good games it did on there was because it is, for all intent and purpose, a NGC with upgraded parts of the same family. The devtools stayed the same, the architecture stayed the same, etc. The Wii was the NGC 2.0 and it found an untapped market
The WiiU continued the NORMAL trend of nintendo console products
now give me the source of the chick getting her brains fucked out.
