Two decades later, Nintendo still hasn't figured out what this kid understood in the mid 90s.
>>338012463
And the response.
Nothing has changed.
They literally just don't get it.
>>338012463
I bet he's one of us sent back to save Nintendo
>>338012463
most of their systems and games have been aimed at children. They also have had titles that reflect older kids as well through games like TLOZ and Fzero, smash, james bond, etc
however today there are fewer and fewer of those games that appeal to older kids and nintendo has really lost their audience in that theater. They're relying souly on first party games that don't even touch the 10+ year old crowd
Because all the people in charge of marketing or at Treehouse at NoA wish they were still children.
>>338012523
This is exactly what I thought
Today's WiiU doesn't have mortal kombat anymore, it doesn't have all these heavy older player games
hell if the Wii had GTA4 it would be hilariously fun to drive and shoot and punch in that game
>>338012463
>>338012523
The fuck is this from?
That kid is a genius
Thinly veiled AVGN thread?
>>338012813
Nintendo Power likely.
From the same episode...
>"if I was wearing that, I'd have problems"
This satire episode is literally a future prediction prophesy warning
Ni1ntemdo will aways be respected for saving the industry from collapse with the NES.
But they were never meant to be the great innovator they think themselves as. Just make games and get 3rd party support.
>>338012813
Nintendo Power, check the avgn episode on Nintendo power.
>>338012887
You know, outside of the hair loss, he actually hasn't aged badly at all
The best is reading "A Dolphin Tale" and soaking in the absolute befuddlement and panic setting in at Nintendo when the Gamecube bombed as if all the clues weren't right in front of their face.
>>338013637
They literally have no idea
>>338012463
But by targeting teens you alienate the people with money: manchildren.
>>338013736
Manchildren will like it as long as the game itself appeals to them. This is solely marketing.
Conversely, does this mean Sony or MS do appeal to kiddy gamers when they market to them 0%?
>>338013895
Yes.
>>338012523
What does it say after "dim-witted"? Also, what issue was this?
>>338012768
This is really reflective of the kind of world we live in.
>>338013895
How many screaming brats do YOU near during online matches?
>>338012629
Shit, I'll go back.
>>338012463
>>338012523
Maybe let them do whatever the fuck they want, instead of calling them idiots because they aren't doing what YOU want.
>>338014586
NDF finally arrived.
>>338014460
Let it go. I loved them more than anyone. Let it go.
>>338012768
>trying to push a mockery of what it means to be a grown-up onto gamers
>>338014856
Stop roleplaying, you sound like a retard.
>>338014856
Fuck them, I just want to go back to the 90s.
>>338012523
Nintendo Power was not officially affiliated with Nintendo. However I do agree with the point you're making.
>>338015058
It was run by Nintendo until 2007.
>>338015058
It was made by NoA up until 2007.
That's what Sega did and look what happened to them
>>338015126
>>338015130
Oh yeah I forgot, Howard and Nester wouldn't really be a thing if they weren't.
>>338015345
Sega's success came from marketing, their downfall came from retarded decisions.
>>338014994
Is it a new way you like to be?
>>338012463
Two decades later and that kid still got it wrong; videogames are toys, and toys are for kids.
The only one who "grow up" is the person not the game.
>>338012463
>NoA
One of the biggest tumors in gaming. I have no idea why they haven't been shut down yet, they've spent 20 plus years doing fuck-all except "localizing" everything they can get their hands on and shoving memes into our faces 24/7. My body isn't ready for the future of Nintendo.
>>338015487
YES I WANNA KNOW
YES I WANNA SEE
>>338015570
Oh yeah, just look at all the statistics. The average gamer is like, what, 10?
Or maybe it's like 30, but close enough. 30 is practically still a kid.
>>338015672
Because NoA products sell more than NoE and NoJ products
>>338015756
>30 is practically still a kid.
>30yo people playing with toys.
I see nothing wrong.
Uhh, the N64 failed because it had no 3rd party support. Development was costly and it was hard to program for, not to mention Nintendo's strict publishing restrictions
>>338015776
Maybe that's because there's a bigger game buying audience in America than anywhere else and not because they're actually any good at their jobs.
I'm sure if NoA and NoE switched places we'd see who was more competent.
Damn, I remember that issue, I had it. Unfortunately when I moved I got rid of my NP magazines except for the fun special book issue ones like the Mario Paint guide. I can't live without that.
>>338012463
>>338012523
They can do whatever the fuck they want, so long as ads run to remind people that they exist, and nintoddlers will buy their shit every fucking year because they don't care. They are so brain damaged that they are emotionally attached to defending a goddamn company like a family member.
>>338018165
Just like you hating a company like it killed your family
Both sides are equally as bad, but your side is more vocal now
