Title: Nintendo's next-gen (Wii 2?) launch strategy
Post by: Nintendosbooger on January 07, 2010, 02:50:58 PM
While I have sincere doubts that this discussion will not deteriorate into a fanboy pissing match orchestrated by the anti-Nintendo establishment here, I will nevertheless make an honest attempt to incite a serious and intelligent discussion.

With the recent announcement by both Capcom and Sega to possibly suspend game development of the hardcore variety for the Nintendo Wii, I have been studying the history behind the gradual decline of third-party support for Nintendo’s latest home console. Now, while some gamers might cite the turbulent and lopsided relationship between Nintendo and third parties, harking back to the days of the NES, as its explanation, I am more inclined to believe that the corporate world suffers from short memory and that history is just that…history.

I believe the reason why, in each of the last three generations, Nintendo cannot maintain steady third party support is because the Big N fails to set the proper tone for its console at launch.

With regard to Nintendo consoles, third parties generally follow Nintendo’s lead in terms of the makeup of their gaming software, specifically those at launch and it continues from there until the end of the console’s lifecycle. Wii Sports is Nintendo’s most successful title this generation, released at launch, and, as a result, third parties have opted to emulate its success by emulating the game itself.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/94/Pilotwings_64_box.jpg/250px-Pilotwings_64_box.jpg)(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6a/Super_Mario_64_box_cover.jpg)


The Nintendo 64 launched with the revolutionary Super Mario 64. Third parties in general prefer not to compete with Nintendo’s heavyweights on their own turf, and, considering Nintendo’s stubborn reluctance to evolve its software media at the time, it really did not give third parties many options: again, Nintendo setting the wrong tone for third parties at launch.


(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Lmbox.jpg)(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/76/Waveracebluestorm.jpg/256px-Waveracebluestorm.jpg)

The Nintendo Gamecube was probably the Big N’s best attempt to set everything right for third parties at launch. They did not release a blockbuster legacy title at launch and the two games they did publish/develop (Luigi’s Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm) did not stray from traditional gaming roots. This granted third parties a great opportunity to set up shop on a system that was in need of an AAA title. Unfortunately, the Gamecube was going up against what-would-soon-be the best selling console of all time, and so third parties didn’t take advantage of this opportunity with much enthusiasm or passion.

For Nintendo’s next console (Wii 2?), Mother Brain needs to do the following things in order to give other developers a shot at making some serious money off Nintendo’s home console. Nintendo needs to do exactly what they with the Gamecube launch, and let third parties establish the identity of the console themselves, meaning no Mario title at launch or any official pack-in. Having established market dominance and mindshare this generation affords Nintendo the luxury of not having to do everything themselves the next go around.

I am interested in hearing what your ideas for Nintendo's next launch strategy should be.

Sounds like a personal problem to me, there. This isn't a forum exclusive to XBox 360, PS3, and PC gamers, despite you having a strong desire for it to be so. If members can discuss video games from these formats, I'm within my right to discuss video games on Nintendo's, be it the Wii or the DS.

You people think you can dictate the type of discussion being laid out here on a regular basis, but I think that is what's exactly wrong with this place and others like it that allow the fickle inmates to run the asylum, chasing away "unwanted" discussion from here and limiting the sort of topic variety that a small community such as this one demands if growth is to be expected.

I'll continue to post topics here based on my interest, be it Nintendo or whatever...until I have nothing else to discuss or I'm banned from not adhering to some unwritten rule. You don't like it? You can fuck off, because I'm not going anywhere. :)

PS: The pics and derailing don't bother me one bit, by the way, kids. It simply serves to confirm to the outside reader what happens when a bunch of jilted online manchildren don't have things their way.

Joke about it all you want, but the stats speak for themselves. You and your little bitch friends have probably been hazing and chasing away new members here with your little kindergarten antics for a while, which explains why this community's activity rate matches the PSPGo's relevance in video games.

I was a huge Nintendo fan until Nintendo started releasing shitty supported consoles. I'm still a Nintendo fan, but a very bitter one.

I'll always buy Nintendo platforms because I love Mario, Zelda, Metroid and most other Nintendo games.
Nintendo going forward was something I always hoped since the N64 days. And Wii is not going forward. Maybe for Nintendo's pocket$, but as a console it's very disappointing. So much potential wasted thanks to Nintendo.

What Nintendo needs to do with Wii 2(?) is get better 3rd party support. They can start by actually supporting 3rd party developers. Nintendo only seem to care about themselves. Even more so with the Wii now. Their games are selling well, so who cares about third parties? That's how Nintendo must be thinking.

MS and Sony get the most games because they support 3rd party developers. Nintendo should start doing it too.

Lemme see if I can put the thread back on track:

While I don't disagree with Booger's basic assessment, the problem is that Nintendo's fanbase expects the following from any new console release: A new Mario game and a new iteration of one of Nintendo's big IPs.  Whenever they don't get one, complaints inevitably follow, so I figure Nintendo feels forced to push out one of those titles.  In the case of Luigi's Mansion, that was definitely done as a stopgap title while Sunshine was being worked on.

I know that Nintendo's different strategy helped them survive. If Wii was a traditional console, Nintendo would've lost big time this gen.

Nintendo can continue their successful path next gen and release 48693 WiiSports and WiiFit games, because those are the games that made the Wii huge.
All I want is better support and HD(<---VERY IMPORTANT)

I'd argue that the majority of people who are buying the Wii don't want big third party titles, evidenced by sales, and which is driving the forum dweller old-school Nintendo devotees insane.

I'd be frustrated too if I were no longer Nintendo's target demographic, but still loyal.

I mean, is the latter really all that hard to imagine for them next generation?  Nintendo is historically behind the technological times, but let's face it, most people still don't use HD tvs.  They only jump into something when there's a large enough userbase.

Although when they do jump in, it's usually half-assed.  :-\

HD support is one thing, decent power is another. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a HD add-on for Wii. But I think the power thing is a thing of the past for Nintendo. Similarly, people holding out hope for decent online play is out of their minds.

Your average family that's going out to buy the Wii probably doesn't care about HD or online play. They just want a fun system to play with friends and their kids. And they'll get that.

There's a big discrepency between what the old-school Nintendo fans want and what the average consumer who is driving sales wants.

Nintendo had the second most powerful console last gen and the most powerful overall in the one prior to that with the N64, so the Big N won't hesitate to go for horsepower next generation.

I don't think they'll completely play the same card next gen. They gradually lost marketshare as a result of executing the same gameplan during the course of 4 generations (NES -> GC). If anything, they'll do something completely different, software and hardware wise.

I personally want big sequels of 3rd party games to be released for the Ps3/X360. But that's mainly thanks to Wii's shitty hardware.  I want a sequel to be better than the previous game, not worse.
And a tacked on waggle won't help it. Graphics and sound to me are just as important a gamepay. And Ps3/X360 controls are still perfect imo.

But if Capcom made a new RE game for the Wii that controls like RE4 and has adjusted difficulty, I'm all for it. But please, leave RE6 to the Ps3/X360. (just an example, this goes for all big sequels)

When i see Lost Planet 2 all i can think of is "this is what a real Monster Hunter could have looked like"

I still don't understand moving that game over to the Wii.

You're forgetting that the PS3 and 360 are sadly trailing the Wii in whimsy output.  :wag

It's hard to compete after the PS2 generation. It got such a flood of support. The n64/PS1 was easily the worst for me. Load times and compromises as people tried to switch to new tools and hardware.

I'll probably still line up to get whatever Nintendo trickles out as a new console, out of obligation. I know it'll be cheap and have at least 1 good game a year, but the days are long gone where it can be a primary console.

I think they had half the right idea when they launched the DS way back, giving Pictochat and a nice UI. The Wii took it a bit further, but they REALLY lacked forethought in the UI department. Upgrades for the Wii/DS are pretty hacky and the system can't really do too much at once to bring people together.

I remember when Nintendo would visit around LA devs when they came down for E3. They'd ask us why we aren't putting more online in their console and we gave the same answers everytime and they don't get it. (Friend codes, ridiculous safety restrictions, etc.)

If anything, this is the first time the Wii is getting criticized outside of nerds. (Who said it from the beginning, but whatever) After Capcom's laughable PR and Nintendo's statements about the new DS, they're finally realizing where they made the wrong turn in terms of 3rd party support.

Although I don't know what to expect in the years to come, if the Wii support is just a fad or not. It's a totally new market, not as dedicated as the core gamers. Will they stick around? E3 is 6 months away.

I'm wagering on a very incremental upgrade ala the dsi. Expect motionplus enabled wiimotes, a reconstructed online mode that probably whittles it down to one friend code per console, wii speak built in, hd compatibility, a slight horsepower and ram boost, and a few gigs of storage.  The  only thing I think they might add to the console is a natal like camera. 

edit: And as for software, I expect even more of their legacy franchises to disappear entirely.  They seem only interested in the mega sellers.  It would not surprise me in the least to see Metroid die next gen.

No fucking way.

The Wii should be construed as an anomaly in Nintendo's long history of creating home consoles with horsepower, and now with the market and mindshare they've attained, I see them reverting to their old ways in that regard. They skimped with the Wii because, after the GC, they simply couldn't afford to manufacture an expensive machine that no one was going to buy.

I doubt Nintendo is eager to dump money into something that hasn't worked out for them in the past. If the success of Wii has something to do with a combination of something new at an unusually attractive price point, then it would seem very non-Nintendo to splurge for the hell of it and potentially damage the image of the Wii as the reasonable family alternative. GC was what it was because at the time, Nintendo was gunning for basically the same market. The Wii is what it is because Nintendo decided to stop competing on the terms set by the competition, and instead do its own thing. It is possible that they will update the hardware to HD spec and improve other aspects that a limited amount of their old market is thirsting for, but I don't see Nintendo ever again even approaching power parity with the other two. It's a necessity for the other two, not least for Sony with its CE business, but for Nintendo? No way.

I expect it to not deviate too much from the Wii: copycat Apple design (unless something new is the new hot shit for Nintendo to borrow from), underpowered hardware (what would be acceptable on the Pee Cee in 2004 or 2005), small hardware, and priced $100-150 less than Microsoft and Sony.

I think Nintendo knows that they need more than waggle but what, I'm not sure.  I don't expect much in terms of technological advancements - I think it will be low tech because Nintendo raked in billions with the Wii and DS, the lowest tech machines in relation to their competition that we've ever seen.  I do think Nintendo is worried that lightning won't strike twice here so they won't be so averse to their core audience like they were with the Wii.  I will expect the next iterations of Wii Sports and Wii Fit but no more "Hey guys, we didn't forget about you, here's Animal Crossing!"  Nintendo will try to bring their core audience back into the fold.  They've been talking about this recently.

I do think the next generation won't see a system launch over $299 (unless it is some Elite style pack).

Zack & Wiki: The Quest For Barbaros' Treasure, as polished a Wii game as was released in 2007, has sold just 126,000 copies in its first 26 months of release.

13th highest Wii score on Metacritic = horrible god damn sales.

But Cowen Group analyst Doug Creutz says that it is the casual gamers who are behind the deflating of the Wii bubble. Revealing the results of a broad fall-holiday survey, he reports that Wii owners are buying fewer games now than they did a year ago while Xbox 360 and PS3 owners plan to buy more.

Quote
They bought what they wanted and don't feel the need to buy more,

The market dominated more and more by Nintendo releases with fewer games from the major third parties, like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft."

"the secret is for all of us just to adopt a Sega model -- and just stick Mario into every game we make."

They need to do something to encourage the third parties to create more, not less, content. Otherwise, Nintendo is going to lose all its third-party royalties and, well, they can't afford that."

Sega's Constantine Hatzopoulos recently said the company was so "stunned" by Dead Space Extraction's sales figures that it will "probably not" try further M-rated content on Wii. Capcom itself had to stress its stance as a multiplatform publisher after Capcom France's Antoine Seux criticized Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles' weak 16,000-unit performance on Wii.

Says Kramer, "For any sort of solid statement you want to make about the platform or the audience, there are enough opposite proofs to show that it is extremely scattered and chaotic."

Zack & Wiki had its issues. I don't think the trial & error gameplay appealed to a lot of gamers, new or old. For a while, a lot of people were saying that it was the defining third party title for the Wii, but when I played it, I saw a lot of room for improvement.

Aside from that, Capcom needs to temper its expectation for their Wii games and keep it in-line with the quality of their games. Monster Hunter 3 is the ONLY exclusive high-profile Wii game they've released; everything else could be categorized as either a port, shallow spin-off, or niche. What exactly were they expecting? The Wii audience is tired of these goddamn tests, and whenever their cash-in titles fail to grab huge numbers, they bitch and moan on press releases, and use it to justify the absence of future serious support.

Fucking EA and Activision have provided the Wii with more support.

Are you implying that they put A+ effort and resources in their Wii titles, or that they're putting the best of what they've got on the machine? They aren't, and have no intention of doing that. That's fine, but they shouldn't pretend like they don't know wtf is going on.

I'm still of the belief that the average Wii owner doesn't want AAA third party titles.

The Nintendo fans on the forums, I'm guessing, are a vocal minority and nothing more.

Back to the topic:

Another strategy Nintendo should ponder is the possibility of releasing their next-gen console well before the other two, with a launch lineup of familiar hardcore third party IPs, like the next RE, MGS, and CoD to set the tone for the system prior to these games re-establishing themselves on the PS and XBox brands.

As I recall, Nintendo has never released a home console well ahead of its main rival(s); they either join the fray late (SNES, GC) or simultaneously with another competitor (PS3).

GDS, which is why I said home consoles. Nintendo could release their handhelds at any time of a generation's cycle, and it would still beat out the competition, but its their home consoles that possibly require a new launch strategy (which is what the topic is about).
