What happened to this company? Seriously people, even Sup Forums loved them in 2014 and before.

What the fucked happened?

They seemingly stopped trying halfway through 2015

Niggers took over the company

They were shit long before 2014.

People just finally started to realize it.

once the NX comes out, hopefully things will start turning around for ol' ninty.

>even Sup Forums loved them in 2014 and before.
Let me guess, you started browsing here in 2014.

i'm a person.

i even use Sup Forums.

the last Nintendo product I was psyched for was Skyward Sword, and before that it was the gamecube and smash bros melee, though there were far more quality third party games on the gamecube than nintendo games.

so 2014? no. They've been pretty shitty as a whole for a while. Iwata was a bad businessman and I voiced that opinion many times even before he died. Shigeru Miyamoto aka the star of nintendo had been pulled out of directorial management after Ocarina of Time and put into general producer and oversight positions where he's no longer actually doing what he's good at - that being game design. Much like Iwata took over being a businessman when he was much better as a programmer.

Nintendo has been a clustfucked pile of dicks and I have no idea what they're going to do should their key people kick the bucket if they don't reverse the process of not having quality control and hiring a bunch of unimaginative idiots.

This.

I think I found one of their biggest problems.

>"Well, the games will be lower priced to make up for it"
No one ever said that

Not him, but they did that with Mario Golf and it's Day 1 DLC. Sup Forums was defending the hell out of that.

P-please buy a wii u.

At least Mario Golf was $30? Idk

When Wii U started flopping they shifted their focus towards NX thus shit games were released to fill time.

>Sup Forums loved them in 2014
You mean you did and you took all that shilling to heart? Sup Forums send them a card and still clamors games like Tropical Freeze and 3D World to be great games.

>Tropical Freeze
>Not a great game

It's an insult to the original DKC trilogy.
It's the NSMBfication of DK games
But here you are, still shilling despite complaining about how much this place has changed while evidently it hasn't.

@350667219

overhyped as fuck.

This game killed Nintendo. It's when they chose to focus on child and refused to follow they grown-up fanbase who grew up with the NES/SNES.

The N64 was the last Nintendo console I bought, for me the playstation is the true successor of the SNES.

If we're lucky, then what we're seeing is just a result of them putting all of their effort into the NX and just keeping 3DS and Wii U on life support with some quickly made stuff from their B-teams.

Though given some of their treatment of the games and franchises recently, it's also totally possible that Nintendo is falling apart at the seams from trying to adjust to the fact that casuals can't keep them afloat anymore.

There is nothing wrong about focusing on children
In fact, it's needed. With videogames as a whole, I feel like adults stole a precious toy from the children.

I sold mine after playing Fatal Frame 5, Bayonetta 2, and Wonderful 101. I used the trade credit to buy PS4 games.

What are you tallking about? There's hardly any video games for adults

>There's hardly any video games for adults
Except for all of them. The poor little bastards are forced to play non-child friendly shit like GTA or COD because there's nothing for them.

Global economic slump. Things might pick back up after elections, or we're going to have civil wars all around if you know who gets elected.

Every kids around me want to play COD and GTA like their grown-up brothers or father, they don't care about "Mario".

Kids don't want playskool games, they want the real stuff.

>even Sup Forums loved them in 2014 and before

Only manchind autist loved Nintendo in 2014. Most of their real core fanbase left between 2003 and 2009

>"It-it's not Nintendo's fault! it's everyone but Nintendo's!"

GTA and CoD are the epitome of children's video games.

Sums up how old nintendo feels. Toon link despite tech demos indicating otherwise. Same shit happened to prime before moto forced fps
/thread

It's not just Nintendo that's doing horribly.

Funny you took exactly the same games.

I had kids last week in my home, they played GTA5 during hours and didn't wanted to leave.

Nothing happened.

Zelda won E3 2016
Zelda won Gamescom 2016

>I had kids last week in my
elaborate

Thinking about that, probably kids like GTA so much due to the sheer interactivity open world games have.

I remember someone posting how his six year old daughter loves to play GTAV. She spends her entire gameplay time driving in the city and doing nothing more.

>What happened to this company?
Pic related

the industry has been bigger than ever.

This shit wasn't fun in golden sun and it isn't fun now. It's literally just frogger.

You grew up.

Kids like GTA because it's edgy.
Were you never a kid or something?

Cutting a tree to make a makeshift bridge is one of the oldest puzzles in videogames.

U fools never learn, huh? Most of their IPS have played out, better graphics won't add shit to the experience. The N X will be the NMS of consoles.

There are no miracles in the game industry, just lucky shots. Nintendo doesn't like money or they'd get their shit together already.

>Quit enabling bad practices

I'm sorry you hate fun.

But the point is they dominated two of the largest gaming tradeshows with a single game.

Nothing has happened.

>PS4 games

And how many people are really going to buy a new console for one game?

they dominated for you, because you have blinders on. the rest noted how they completely dropped support for their current mainline console remarkably early into its lifetime.

>I'm sorry you hate fun
It's just grinding chore

I blame Iwata

So sad retards will praise him for the ruin of Nintendo with his casual faggotry

>She spends her entire gameplay time driving in the city and doing nothing more.

lol

It's exactly what they were doing. They spend their time modding cars and driving...

I kidnap kids for a living.

Nothing, they release great games for the last 30 years.

>Zelda won E3 2016

I don't care how much you like Zelda, this is still the height of bullshit.

Hello man from the future.

Nintendo having only one single game to show during E3, even if it seems to be a decent game, says a lot about the company.
The other consoles (and platforms if you include PC) have many different things for everyone. Meanwhile Nintendo doesn't want to take back its place in the living room and keeps inside its small safe space.

That looks like a Skyrim mod with Teamfortress 2 textures

>Sonycucks pretending that this is true

>two of the largest gaming tradeshows
Do you have any idea how retarded you sound to an adult?

>I kidnap kids for a living
How does that make money?

Iwata pushed out the Wii, which saved Nintendo after several flops. Including the Gamecube and Virtual boy

>this is still the height of bullshit.

It also WON E3 with that single game.

Says a lot about the company huh?

They dropped Wii support around 2012, making six years.
Wii U support is being dropped 2017, making five years.
One year off is remarkably early?

>The legend of Zelda: Just Cause

>Nintendo having only one single game to show during E3
>still won the E3

says a lot about the other companies...

Sales say otherwise

>but-but sales don't count unless we talk about Wii sales!!

>but Iwata saved Nintendo
truly nothing more delusional than people not understanding old men in suits

>social media

...

I'm just fucking with you, stop being so dense.

...

Considering the question was about the future, not a question that was making a prediction, I'm pretty confused at what you're getting at here.

((YOU))

>no yooka-laylee

>persecution complex
>nintendo fans can't criticize the once-great company that has lost touch with what made them great

...

I know for a fact No Man Sky 'won' e3.

Not an argument

>moving goalposts

>Sup Forums did a top picks poll right after E3
>what came out on #1?

>I know for a fact
But let me guess: You don't have a single bit of evidence right?

nogames since 2014

This isn't the PS4 thread dude.

moving what goal posts?

No man's sky is on none of your 'facts'. Isn't that funny?

so, a whole bunch of nothing?

Is it just me or is Nintendo better on handhelds than consoles?

And how many of those Twitter / Facebook users are going to buy a NX for Zelda?

>I don't have a single fact to back my argument
Ok.

No, you're a special fucking snowflake with 20/20 vision.

>Nintendo didn't win E3!!!
>Show objective evidence that it did
>NeoGAF: But how will this translate into sales?
Everythread.

Probably about a dozen or so.

I looked at your pictures, no man's sky isn't in them. That's my proof

>won
>this is what Nintendrones believe

Nobody won the E3. AlI saw was dissapointment.

They did that for Bloodborne.

>I looked at your pictures
So you're literally making shit up and hoping nobody calls you out on it?

are you just a nintoddler or a shill for Nintendo Treehouse?

that E3 Demo of Zelda was a mistake. It proved to the world just how not far along the game was in development.

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire UI, food mechanics, sound effects and lack of a proper soundtrack changes by the time the game actually comes out. It was literally just a physics demo circa 2004 except 12 years late and paired with some infringing Metal Gear-esque ripoff stuff.

They seriously cant and wont release the final game resembling the mechanics and lack of polish as their demo. If they do it will flop and the NX will become the Wii U 2.0

What's your proof to back up your claim, bubba?

So your pictures aren't proof?

>Nobody won the E3
Zelda won.

See

Really? On a mass scale?

>Bloodborne sold 2.5m copies
>Sony has sold 40mil PS4 units
Not a bunch of people.

You do realize that while BotW was the most talked about game, it was the ONLY game Nintendo had that anyone gave a shit about, right?

All together, the other conferences got just as much or more attention, just spread amongst multiple games. I'm sure if Sony only had one game, it would have eaten up more discussion simply because there was less to focus on.

They are, and they demonstrate how Zelda won.

>They seriously cant and wont release the final game resembling the mechanics and lack of polish as their demo. If they do it will flop and the NX will become the Wii U 2.0
Since they get away with Mario Maker, do you honestly expect them to not get away with it? There's that one comparison shot already of Nintendo having removed a heap of leaves hiding a character and it being a rock instead now because obviously having a heap of leaves in a forest is too difficult for the modern gamer

>You do realize that while BotW was the most talked about game
Yes it was the most talked about game.

Are you ok user?

read >

>Sonyggers trying to deny Nintendo BTFO'd them with one game
>Even stoop as low as to say NMS was the E3 winner
Is the Sony dick that tasty?

So you don't actually have any proof or an argument.

The proof shows Zelda winning.
