Hello thewiiu.com community!,

My name is NintendoFan, and as you can probably see from my username...I am a Nintendo fan! Ever since I was little, I have always been a fan of Nintendo; their expertise and attention to detail is nothing short of astounding, and their commitment to gameplay over everything else has been at the core of the company since their gaming beginning. Nintendo's history is colorful and riddled with business brilliance. The companies' R&D divisions are the Willy Wonka factories of the gaming industry. Many engineer geniuses work for Nintendo, and that's just the start. From the founder Fusajiro Yamauchi, with his attention to quality products, to Hiroshi Yamauchi's strict business practices, and steering the company to electronic entertainment, to Gunpei Yokoi's engineering genius and mentoring of Shigeru Miyamoto, a man who needs no introduction, it is undeniable Nintendo has and still has geniuses working for them.

Not everyone will agree on Nintendo's decisions over the years, but one thing's for sure: Nintendo encapsulates gameplay, breathes innovation, executes control, and constantly challenges itself and the gaming industry.

For me, it is understandable that third-party developers are hesitant to make their games on Nintendo's platforms - Nintendo consistently pushes the boundaries for new ways to play. They refuse to get comfortable, and not every company wants to do that to the extent Nintendo does. Also, with Nintendo's first party titles, it is hard to compete (but not impossible).

Do I want third party companies to succeed on Nintendo platforms? Sure. Do I think Nintendo's online multiplayer services could be improved? Yes.

I am a Nintendo fan, not a Nintendo fanboy, and look at things objectively.

If the two things mentioned above met people's expectations, Nintendo would be an even bigger force to be reckoned with in my opinion.

Nintendo has always been about quality over quantity, gameplay over graphics, and affordable products for all.

I could go on about Nintendo, but I feel this sums up my opinion nicely.

After finding out about this website (through a Google search), I have to say, this community seems like an amazing bunch of people! I look forward to conversing with all of you and getting to know you all better.

Take care everyone! :)

Sincerely, NintendoFan

Welcome to the Forums NintendoFan.
Great intro by the way, Without third party's Nintendo wouldn't get far, And I think that what happened with the Wii is why developers are maybe holding back. So far, I think Nintendo have done a good job in getting support from third party's, although some of them may be ports, its crucial that Nintendo use the head start they have over Microsoft and Sony wisely to create a large fan-base so that when they come up with there consoles, Nintendo already has allot of support.

As for me, I choose Nintendo because I enjoy there innovation. I had a ps1 and ps2, And I still enjoy them today, but ever since I got the Wii, I've grown to like Nintendo as a company. The games they make tend to be the games I prefer.(I hate shooters)

Hope you enjoy your stay here :)

Hello stephen! Thank you for the kind words. :)

Regarding your comment about Nintendo, building up a fan base early on is a great idea. The key is to get the "hardcore" players (I do not like the terms casual and hardcore, and might explain that in more detail in the future) back.

I am glad to see you have grown to like Nintendo. If you haven't done so already, you might enjoy looking into Nintendo's history.

Take care! :)

Sincerely, NintendoFan

Hello, welcome to the site.
I am hoping the Wii U does get good third party support. I am disappointed that apparently we wont get Bioshock Infinite. Why they showed Kevin Levine on E3 2011 and now we don't get Bioshock :(
(ooops just noticed I made a booboo, his name is Ken lol)

Hello Shogo, thank you for the nice welcome! :)

I agree. Hopefully over time, more third party developers will come on board.

It looks like Mr. Miyamoto is going around to various developers himself and trying to convince them they should develop their AAA titles on the Wii U.

Here's hoping that will happen.

Take care! :)
