Funny (Old) Nintendo quotes about GCN and GBA on IGN Cube tonight
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Nintendo says the focus needs to be brought back to games that are simple in design and that are consistantly fun. A new age tetris, if you will.
They're working to do this with the NDS and the Revolution, but they know that those can't be the only titles they make. You will still see Zelda and Metroid titles out of Nintendo. Grand adventures with cutting edge graphics and great story lines.

I don't know about Squeenix or NCsoft in the US (I know whoever handles Lineage in Korea is rolling in the cash, Lineage II ain't doing so well here), but the only MMORPG company making a profit that I know of is Mythic (which is why they can easily give out free months for people referring others to the game). And they've made a profit each year for the three years DAoC has been out. SOE has only had one profitable month since EQ launched.
SOE rakes in the cash from EQ, but that money is put into the ungodly expensive development of EQII and games like PlanetSide, EQOA, and stuff they are working on in secret.

Yamauchi is my idol. I respect him very much. He doesn't budge on his agenda unless HE says so. And he'll just piss in your mouth and fuck your wife while you're tied to the chair watching because he doesn't give a shit. This man, I respect. I admire. I will become.

Fixed after realizing my mistake. This doesn't change a damn thing.
Yamauchi's problem, besides being stubborn, is that he has a very Japan-centric perspective.
But Manabyte, post full quotes:
If you put "only" between 'not' and 'interested', he starts to make much more sense. Otherwise he contradicts himself in the second sentence by qualifying with "not necessarily".

Where's the quote where old Hiroshi was apolgozing for the available line-up, but said they were working on a game that was amazing and revolutionary (They can't release any information, of course, because it would be stolen before they released it) and he was just hoping Nintendo could be competitive till they were able to release this? Because it would change everything. I think this quote was early in the launch and I've never seen anything that even comes close to this (Unless the project was scrapped and formed the basis for Revolution).
Edit: And even though this logic was used for not showing SMS, the actual quote made it sound like it was an original project and had nothing to do with any known franchises.

but you must agree the quotes are shameful and sad just to be a Nintendo fan

"Meanwhile the Japanese firms can no longer rely on their home market to quickly recoup their investments in new games: console-software sales have shrunk from $3.4 billion in 1998 to $2.2 billion last year, a 35 percent drop. "We need the U.S. in order to be profitable," says Namco vice president Yoichi Haraguchi."
No. The entire market is in the crapper. 35 percent drop in the entire Japan market in the last 6 years is horrible. People are becoming disallusioned with games and how boring they are. I guess if Japan weren't such a one console country they might not be so jaded, but that's not really the point. The point is, the market sucks.
Video games industry as a whole has been growing over the last 5 years. This holiday is gauranteed to be the biggest we have ever seen.
Yet Nintendos console market share decreases at an alarming rate. My, how the mighty have fallen. Maybe Ninty can turn it around and the Revolution will be their 1st console (since the NES) to actually make market share gains.

Geez, and some of you people call Yamauchi stubborn.
Don't call Yamauchi stupid though, if it wasn't sure him the industry wouldn't be where it is today. He is a very smart business man. Business men don't always see things clearly as a consumer who wants everything for nothing. So shut the fuck up, please!
