10 Nintendo MISTAKES They Want You To FORGET

[@artate92]

Ill never forget seeing super mario 64 ds in walmart almost a decade or more later after having it on my ds as a kid, and the game was still like 50 dollars!!

[@julianx2rl]

@@artate92 - That sucks, but at least on the e-shop Nintendo does drop the price of their games, like, almost frequently, it hasn't even been half a month since they dropped Splatoon 2's price to $41.99. Yes it was for a limited time, but not only was it not the first time they dropped its price, they actually dropped the price of a bunch of other games in the past, like BotW, Mario Odyssey, Kart8, Maker2, Party, Tennis, Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade 2 and more, and that's only on Switch. Granted, most of them don't get massive discounts, the most we get is 33% off. But do you really want them to rip the value of the games you already bought so they can make a quick buck? Because that's what happened with MK11: Aftermath and a lot of fans aren't happy with that.

Botw I thought got a permanent price decrease to $50. Not much better, but if you want to pick that up or Mario Odyssey, they're $49 at target, best buy and Walmart. It's the reason I got a switch, and I truly think it was the best $50 I've spent on a nintendo game.

Diego Medina That’s any console tho, to be fair. Piracy is just an issue, no matter what shades you give it. Doesn’t mean you see Sony never drop their prices on first party exclusives, but people have softmodded PS4s anyway. But that’s the thing. People still buy games. Fuck, the best selling category on the eShop still shows games like BotW and Mario Odyssey as top sellers. I don’t agree with how Nintendo handles their sales, but people will buy them, wether it be brand loyalty or because people know what Nintendo is and trust their software because it’s Nintendo (based on the more wide majority of people who know what Nintendo is and not necessarily just core gamers.)

[@KewlCrayon]

Wii U today is still my favorite console. I had so much fun with friends and family playing the multiplayer games. Especially Nintendoland and Warioware. Biggest mistake with the Switch is the lack of backwards compatibility. The Wii, and to greater extent, the Wii U were fully backwards compatible back to the gamecube. The Wii could play a gamecube disc. All you needed was a gamecube controller. So that means all that junk you bought for the Wii, all the dumb controllers and what not, all work on the Wii, and to greater extend-- the Wii U. The Virtual Console Store featured almost a full library of N64, SNES, and NES games, and even some SEGA games. The fact that the Wii U had a "Wii Menu" alone should've prompt more sales from upgrading Wii users. The Wii U doubled as its own console and the Wii, and the Wii doubled as its own console and a Gamecube. The Wii U was 3 consoles in one. It let you carry all the add-ons and junk controller attachments that you bought for the previous two generations, and use them on the current generation. The Switches greatest mistake was throwing all this away and forcing you to start over, with a new virtual console, which released with very little games. The JoyCon controllers were basically Wii motion controllers remade, and the Switch itself was the Wii U Gamepad with the guts of the console inside of it. I held off for quite a while before getting a Switch simply because of the sheer lack of backwards compatibility. The only games the Switch had at launch was Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2. I could pass on Splatoon, and BoTW was also a Wii U game.. and the future games to come were just re-releases of older switch games like Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 8. Literally gave me zero reason to upgrade, I just bought BoTW on Wii U and enjoyed that while I waited for more titles to appear.

As much as we hate paying full price for an old game, Nintendo is smartly protecting their brand by never devaluing it. Everyone that buys their games is fully invested in their purchase, and as a result they will often appreciate the games more since they paid so much for it. The last thing Nintendo wants is to give their stuff away for $5-$10, only for people to buy it, play it for a hot minute, then never touch it again, telling all their friends, “I played that, it’s whatever.” They want you to buy into the $60 glory that is a Nintendo game, play the crap out of it to get your money’s worth, and tell everyone about it because you’ve invested so much of yourself into the purchase; sort of a sunk cost fallacy, although the games are often really good.

[@MrLenny011]

I remember when my friend bought a 3ds for £200 (in the UK) and couldn’t even use the 3D because he had eye problems then they dropped the price and the 2DS

Nintendo have never listened to their fans. The only times they have tried and misunderstood have resulted in disaster, so they've returned to not listening.

[@jm9534]

Well Nintendo does remind us about the Virtual Boy in some of their own games and they also have Nintendo Selects which are games that sold well and Nintendo decided to lower the price of the game down to $20.

[@Speedether]

Yeah Nintendo always wait in the last year of there consoles to start releasing Nintendo select titles for cheaper...

I hate that normal game process just don't go down, but I have a more optimistic reason why. Let's face it, you legit cannot break the car majority of Nintendo games no matter how used they are. For Xbox or PlayStation games, I'll try my best to buy it used (no matter how the manager at GameStop insists) but for Nintendo games, I'll usually buy it used unless their is a physical pre order or day one merch involved. With cartridges I don't mind letting my friends and little cousins borrow or trade games. I was never worried when my mom told me she accidentally washed my Mario game cause it was in my pocket. I just waited for it to dry and popped it into the GBA, SP, DS, 3DS and now I've washed two Switch games (on accident, not as some official test) and I'm still very satisfied. No disk not reading, no sudden freezes, no random forced quits.

[@darkanimecommandersoto9992]

No. 1 isn’t really a mistake. If the quality is there and it has longevity, I don’t mind paying full price, granted they may make more sales on games over 2 years old with a 15 to 20 dollar price drop. But that’s just me. I’m no marketing expert.

I'm always in the minority whenever anyone brings up the VirtualBoy. I enjoyed mine right up to the day it died (in 2009). Galaxy Pinball, Mario Tennis, and Wario Land. Enjoyed playing them all. Agree with the rest, though.

I dont think nintendo wants you to forget the wii u, yes it was poorly advertised, yes it sold poorly. But the wii u was a good console and a good contender against xbox 360 and ps3. It had great first party games (no suprise there), the second screen was innovative and in some games enhanced the experience.

I loved my Wii U tbh. I loved Mario Party 10 and I had home brew on it so that I could play everything else. I played my Wii U more than the Switch. At this moment, my Switch is somewhere buried underneath something somewhere in my room. We NEVER use it. My daughter may dig it out when she goes to my sister in law house because her cousins like the Switch. But I am also still upset about the Virtual Boy. It was the only gift I got for my bday and I actually saved up for it and my aunt met me halfway with the price. And man it was bad. I cried

I'm not that mad about the prices tbh. If that's the trade off for launching games in a completed state and not forcing microtransactions into them, so be it. Most AAA titles these days ought to start at $30 and increase the price of the base game with each patch until it works. Plus, since the prices don't drop, you can get a decent amount back selling used Nintendo games you don't want to keep on Ebay.

[@thegrimps1049]

I mistakenly brought the Wii U. Thought it would be something like the Switch

[@KewlCrayon]

Still a good console, its 3 consoles in one (Wii U, Wii, and Gamecube) If you owned a Wii or a Gamecube, all your stuff would work on the Wii U. It also has almost a full library of N64, Snes, and Nes games, and even some SEGA games. To date the Wii U is still my favorite console. I own a switch but only recently. I held off buying a switch because of its lack of backwards compatibility, and at launch the only hyped game it had was Breath of the Wild, which was already a Wii U game. Newer games to come to the switch were also re-releases of Wii U games-- Mario Kart 8, DK Country, Super Smash, etc.

[@FoxMcCloudFF7]

To be fair it is the pre-cursor to the switch, the gamepad practically functions like the switch and you can play some games on the gamepad with the TV turned off, only thing is its not as portable and you have to stay near the console but yeah thats pretty much where it got its start!

Your assessment on the 3ds is wrong. At the time it came out, it was expensive to produce the tech they created then for the 3ds. You cant compare the 3ds price and the switch price, they are two different system built differently, with different architecture. The 3ds back then was a good technological leap! It was innovative! But also dont forget that when they dropped the price, they gave free games to those who bought the system full price at release!

[@JaslowDrumSheets]

Removing all of the GameCube functionality from the second version of the Wii. It never affected me personally but it just makes me so angry, mainly because it directly affects a lot of games made for the system and not just the GameCube. Tons of games could use GameCube controllers as an input, FE: Radiant Dawn could import save data, and I'm sure there's more. Developers expected the GameCube part to be there, and they ripped it out. Maybe it's just me, but I was so not okay with it when I found out.

To be honest? Nintendo does make mistakes. But I’ve always felt like they push the boundaries of what a game system can do. Granted it doesn’t always work. Like the virtual boy. But how many people at the time were even thinking about anything close to VR? These things weren’t good. But they pushed to try new things.
