What happens when Nintendo can't guarantee success from their handheld next generation?

Nothing is better than Fez

Fez was ok.

The creator is a complete fukkboy drama queen tho. Cancelling the sequel cause of some Twitter shyt.

I am sure he is working on it in silence. Phil Fish just doesn't know how to control himself and pushes back too quickly. He is another example of why some people are probably better off twitter/facebook. Keep in mind what he did with Fez, he literally had reddit and all of the gaming community on the internet playing together to try to figure out how things worked in the game, you could tell how much pressure he was under if you watched the indie game movie.

I don't get on those sites because I am less productive because of it. I already spend way too much time on the coli, but looking to cut that down soon in the coming months.

Well if Fez 2 happens I'll check it out eventually.

Until then I think he's enjoying life as a DJ.

Never was true. You can't go by stock to determine how much a company would sell for. Sony's revenue alone dwarfs Nintendo's. Plus also all their assets and debts would have to be payed for too. Nintendo's pockets aren't that long or they would of dropped the price of the Wii U and 3ds along time ago. But there pockets aren't fat enough to eat that cost. 3DS and Wii U sales are dropping every year and they were losing money until they figured out how to maximize the exploitation of their stanbase by releasing Amiibos.

If you look at every Nintendo console excluding the Wii since the SNES all of them have sold worse than their predecessor. The Wii U has gotten some of Nintendo's best work yet it has sold the worst of all their consoles.

Nintendo maximizes the profits on their diminishing fanbase. They have a loyal group of followers that will buy whatever they make but as time goes on that number shrinks more and more. At some point that's going to catch up to them. They can't outrun that forever. Either they will evolve as a company or they will continue on their long path to eventual irrelevancy.

Nintendo used to rule the gaming industry with an iron fist. Some of my older heads out here can remember when Nintendo had the Nintendo Dream Team back in the N64 days which was the beginning of their fall from grace.

Hold on now ,there's actually people who like sub par, boring, wannabe movie QTE fests like The Order 1886, bloated open world games with pointless collectibles like Assassins Creed and Mad Max (game is mediocre BTW), literal rehashes of annual sports games sold at full price with minor updates every single fukking year when it can easily update previous games via DLC instead. Then they wanna go on social media about how the game is full of bugs and swear that they're never gonna buy Madden ever again knowing full well that they're gonna cop it next year like the brainless sheep they are.

Oh and the yearly Call of Duty game but even they're getting of that series.

@ people getting tired if the Hollywood games. If they begin to fail, the industry will collapse

Sony was losing a lot of money too, but thanks to the pS4 its losing less. Lost 1.5 billions last year. Nintendo is now back to profiting after taking a hit.

speaking of exploitation, how's PS+ treating everybody?

Nintendo wont bring it back the Gameboy brand because feminazi's would throw a fit.
