Who wants Nintendo to fail?

There is a lot of Nintendo bashing in this thread, like in most forums. Some of it is founded, most of it isn't. Now, I'm a big Nintendo supporter, I criticize the company when I need to and I praise the company when it's appropriate. But in the end, I don't think it would be healthy for the industry, in any way, for the company to call it quits as a console manufacturer. What are your opinions?
 
So what's everyone's favorite microwave popcorn? Myself, I usually go with:

While Nintendo's done nothing for me since Super Mario 64, I can't say that I want them to "fail".

That being said, if the Apocalypse was to happen and Nintendo became a third-party publisher, I'd certainly take a look at what they had to offer.
 
i don't think nintendo's success or failure has any special bearing on the health of the industry. financially or creatively.

i think the ds is a stupid product that deserves to fail, but i wouldn't resent its success, should it persist.
 
I want nintendo to die. They have been going downhill since Mario 3. If they die soon, they may go out with some dignity.
 
If Nintendo went third party and made games for Sony, at least you'd be able to play their games with a controller that doesn't suck.
 
This is akin to asking 'Who wants their breaks to fail?'. The only people who would raise their hands would be people who rode the bus.


The short bus.
 
As a general rule would the industry lose "soul" or "heart" if Nintendo left? Seeing as how Nintendo is the only real videogame company still making consoles? I truly think it would be a dark day for everyone. And I'm questioning the quality of Nintendo's games if it went completely third-party. The last thing we want is Nintendo to become Sega. After all, Sega has become an utterly worthless developer with no more influence.
 
I think they're the best overall publisher in the biz still and I enjoy their games a lot, but I've just grown tired of their little hardware quirks (like no Dolby Digital support in the GameCube, no point in releasing the 56k/BBA, etc. using kidney shaped buttons, having a small ass d-pad, etc.).

The GameCube really hardware wise brought nothing to the industry except for the idea of digital click triggers, which is nice, but c'mon.

I'll still buy their consoles as long as they make good games for them, and I will give them props for supporting all their consoles for a good period of time (ahem, SEGA), but yeah as a hardware maker, I'm not crazy about Nintendo.

Their quality is already questionable. It won't make a difference until Nintendo realises that they have to cater to their fans if they want to succed. And the only way to do that is to make good products.

Financially, Nintendo's departure would be worthless, but I think the industry loses a valuable developer and a force that really got it moving again. At the very least, the industry loses something internal when Nintendo leaves.

Regarding your DS comment, it's ridiculous. WANTING a risky, innovative system to fail means that you don't like videogames. That's the only logical conclusion I can come to.
 
Nintendo would still make games, it'd just be on someone's elses console, likely in some part of partnership (not being a full out 3rd party).

So I really wouldn't mind to be honest. It'd be one less console for me to buy and that means more money to spend on their games.

I don't think the DS would even be on the market if it wasn't for the PSP announcement. That gave them a kick in the ass, otherwise they probably would've just stuck with the GBA SP at $99.
 
It will get old when all my rage at Nintendo fades away. They sure as hell better make that 2d mario awesome or somebody is going to die.

A spot right next to people who don't capitalize all of their sentences, i'd imagine.

PS3 is ditching the Dual Shock for a Controller S? Good to hear.

i hate it when people start sounding cocky like this. The industry would gain or lose nothing if Nintendo stopped making consoles. They are not Sega. If Nintendo pulled out of the hardware race then I would like them to go second party to MS, but that would never happen since I doubt Nintendo want to work for an amerin company. i wouldnt mind if they went third party as long as they stay stable and dont turn into Sega. Im very confident Nintendo would never turn into another Sega. They have a lot of money and if they were to pullout of the race now, they wouldnt have to worry about bankrupcy due to the amount of money they have
 
Nintendo ceased to be relevant to my video game needs somewhere around the launch of the PSX and N64. I just sorta grew out of their games, although they still make some very high quality first party titles, most of them just don't appeal to me.

That said, I constantly recommend the GC to friends with younger kids when they ask me which system to buy. And even though I don't buy their home console systems (I do have a GBA: SP at least until the PSP launches) I don't really care if they fail or succeed.

It does seem as if their star has dimmed a little more each round of the console wars since the SNES.

did i neglect to mention that i hate videogames? because i do. hate videogames. that's why i can't get on board the ds's MINIGAME REVOLUTION. real game enthusiasts have spoken, and they want puppy simulators. now if you'll excuse me, i'm late for the short bus. i'll save you a seat, cruel bastard mario!

Not an Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Metroid Prime, or Pikmin fan? Those games are excellent and every gamer should beat them.

Agreed. My opinion of Nintendo has dropped way off since the SNES.

Ultra 64 delays, the decision to stick with carts, no RPGs, poor third-party support, questionable controller... and that was just the N64.

With the GC, it just got ugly.

Guess I'm not a gamer then. Time to sell off my stuff and walk off a cliff.

Aside from Super Mario 64, I don't care for any of the other games that you listed.

Ocarina of Time? Bah. A Link To The Past was better, IMO.
Metroid Prime? I don't like first-person games very much, if at all.

By the time Pikmin came out, I was already disenchanted with Nintendo enough where I just didn't gave a damn.

I guess you are entitled to your opinion, but this really surprises me. I really think you are in the minority here, Monk.
 
The Good New and Bad News of the "Nintendo Fail" Club is that Nintendo never fails :lol :lol

Good News = as long as Nintendo doesn't fail, their club can go on. Just look at how fast the "Sega Fail" Club disbanded, it's like when they started "Sega should Die" campaign then 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. Where's Sega !? ... Dead already !? .. that's no fun.

Bad News = They'll have to spend alot of time on GAF to Bash Nintendo, and money on non-Nintendo's stuff (e.g. importing PSP) so they could brag about it on GAF.

No, you are not. A gamer does not hate games purely based on the developer. I suggest you do not walk, but take a running leap.
 
what retard wouldn't salivate at the sight of your NINTENDO DS? it's the only system that accomodates the cognitive and tactile needs of the mentally challenged gamer! you brought it on yourself!
 
just want Nintendo to go 3rd party, if fanboys consider that failure then that's their problem, the industry survived without Atari, it survived without Sega and it'll survive without Nintendo
 
Come on now what has nintendo done to you people that you just can't ignore it?

I hear:

I outgrew Nintendo

Nintendo is not Relevant

I hate Nintendo's Minigame Revolution

You people sure bitch a lot about something you could give less shit about!

If you don't like Nintendo maybe little bobby does, why must you take Nintendo away from little bobby? Why don't you take your Playstation and Xbox and SHUT THE F UP! IS IT THAT HARD TO IGNORE? Most MATURE dev companies do it all the time.
 
Well, I did say that they make some quality first party games. I enjoyed Mario 64 back in the day, and it was a wonderful example of how to take an old 2D game and bring it to life in 3-D. The one thing that has kept Nintendo from dying is their ace in the hole, namely Shigeru Miyamoto.
