Mario creator and game designer Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that Nintendo is no longer concerned with the casual gaming market. In a recent feature with Edge Magazine, Miyamoto explained Nintendo’s current stance was its particular need to focus on the dedicated core fan-base. Since the shift to mobile gaming, the casual and “passive” market – that Nintendo profited from in the days of the Wii and DS generation – is no longer there. Here’s what Miyamoto said on the matter:
“[These are] the sort of people who, for example, might want to watch a movie. They might want to go to Disneyland. Their attitude is, ‘okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.’ It’s kind of a passive attitude they’re taking, and to me it’s kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself [with more advanced games].
“In the days of DS and Wii, Nintendo tried its best to expand the gaming population. Fortunately, because of the spread of smart devices, people take games for granted now. It’s a good thing for us, because we do not have to worry about making games something that are relevant to general people’s daily lives.”
Though Nintendo has yet to come fully forward with their Quality of Life (QOL) initiative, bar from the knowledge it will focus on fun, it appears the company is stepping in the correct direction. Let us know your thoughts on Miyamoto’s statement in the comment section below.
i’ve never been to disneyland D:
It’s awesome. I live like an hour away. Whenever you get the chance, you have to go. Just eat before hand. It’s like $10 for a bottle of water alone.
lawl an hour away? I live like 10 minutes away xD
I live like 2 hours away… ;_;
*COUGH* I mean DisneyWOOOORLD… Not land… *COUGH*
2014/15 YEAR OF THE HARDCORE GAMERS!! :D
Me too :/ oh well! I think his comment is interesting. I think he basically said they re done trying to cater to all gamers needs and are going to focus on their core group of gamers.
I have no idea where one is near me!
lawl, I live like 3 countries away xD
So the water is cheaper than getting it at a rave.
Raves hardly exist in south florida anymore it sucks. Going to Electric Daisy Carnival in orlando in november though which I highly recommend, electronic music and carnival rides and $10 for UNLIMITED water refills. EDC also goes to New York, Vegas, and maybe a few other spots. Vegas passed, this year already, I think that’s the biggest.
Hey, I used to live on hwy 27 Haines City/ baseball city. It was like 20 minutes from Disney. Sadly I only went there in order to look for a job. Never went to the park. :(
No it’s not. Here’s one of the menus (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disney-california-adventure/award-wieners/menus/) and a bottle of Dasani water is only $2.79 as seen on the menu. There are lots of very well priced food options in the park as well as the more pricey fine dining. I love Disneyland food!
are you an employee?
That was funny ahahahaha. Eat before hand. Truer words have not been typed today.
….And u thought I wrote a lot. I have these stalkers online who follow my posts and write whole books about me. True story, and pretty sad predicament….uh, for the stalkers…I’ll list them for you “neutral” readers to see. Oh, I won’t name them by name, my GREATNESS doesn’t allow peasants to be acknowledged by their little appropriate “username” I NEVER place anyone above or on the same level, I’m in a league of my own(cliche as that may be, it’s the TRUTH)
Also: it’s pretty sad, these “guys” are in their mid thirties and one in his forties, and they have nothing better to do than to criticize a younger(can’t say more) successful person. Well, I guess goes to show that’s where DRUGS will lead you…continuing….
Rated on their idiocy level 1-10, 10 is the most stoopid he/she can get….
-That Queer: there is only one queer who roams these pages, so if you frequent the site daily, you know who it is. IT isn’t that much of a bother, but it is the forty year old, acts like its intelligent, but it’s only an act.
Idiocy: 7.5
-That (W)itch, username starts with an M: this depressed whale of a female reads and follows all my posts and replies only with negativity, like, you’re depressed and you can’t be positive online? Well, like many females, she serves no purpose in life. Don’t know her age, but I would, with confidence, guess over thirty.
Idiocy: 8.0
That army moron: this one doesn’t make sense. This moron not only attacks my greatness, but somehow is also against That Queer. Mind boggling, right? That queer is seen as the good guy, and I’m the bad guy(opinions vary by ones own assessment) so how could you hate both??? Whatever, this guy wrote books about me, maybe he should contact RL Stine(if he/she is still alive) anyways, this guy is over thirty.
Idiocy: 9.0
The latest addition:
Drug boy(Lord Idiocy): this reject is in love with narcotics. Every chance this retard junkie gets, he’s the first to open his mouth if drugs is the conversation topic. Like if that somehow elevates(yea 420, dog, bruh) a persons status. Only LOSERS care about drugs and their effects, dissected to the very last compound. Though it is sad, as I stated, morons make up the majority of the world, mindless followers. Oh, well..,heres to you Lord Dumbass…Spliff, Pot, Weed, L, Endo, Indica, Cronic, Kush, Cat Piss, Trees, Green, Bionic, blunt, joint, Swisha, Chocolate, and so on….he’s also over thirty, and has written books about me.
Idiocy: 10
There you have it, my neutrals, stand clear of these sick-in-the-head individuals. If I didn’t point them out for who they are, you would’ve sworn they were children, which makes things more humiliating for them.

I want to dance with those indians by the fire and then meditate with them. They would probably stab me to death since the white man stole their land lmao!
I’ve always wanted to go chill with native americans since elementary school before I ever knew about psychedelics. They seem so wise and connected to nature.
I’ve met indians and went to there like tribe thing haha, i bet they still have that going on every year.
Sweet that’s awesome dude. I was afraid the casinos had totally destroyed their culture
It pretty much did but i live in a place where there is still some hardcore indians at heart i guess. The french and indian trade. They used to be this thing where you would go to there huts and see how they lived and they were actually legit pure indians. Like last year i saw this pure indian dude just walking down the street….. he looked angry when looking at me lmao! pure indian right there.
Damn I need to come check that out some time. Very cool shit man, happy just knowing about that
I want to meet an indian that looks like john redcorn lmao!
Hahaha that would be awesome! Hanka Hill!

So….miyamoto….yeah.
I believe this would be the opportune moment for me to step in.
Sir, you believe yourself to be above others, and yet you lack the ability to correctly type people’s usernames. Or perhaps you simply are too cowardly to address them directly?
You attempt to use “evidence” gathered from the hole betwixt your sore buttocks, and yet this “evidence” is so laughable I know not whether to slap you in the face for your stupidity, or to chuckle at your sorry attempts and turn away from such a pitiful display of butthurt.
Regardless, you shall never best me– alas, you lack finesse, my dear dweller, and the experience necessary to properly troll the masses.
Please, withdraw your throbbing member from thine own screen, and retreat while you can, for when I start trolling, I don’t stop until you have run off like the blackguard you are.
Sincerely,
EstocZero, Nintendo Assassin.
P.S. If you consider US losers, then wouldn’t you be worse, because you go to such lengths just to try and prove us to be losers? Logically speaking, of course.
You forgot about the Hashtag in Need…
And you FUCKING IDIOT!!! Psychedelic drugs are NOT NARCOTICS!! SCHOOLED AGAIN BITCH!!!
Narcotics, are like heroin, oxy and hydrocodone lmao. It’s seriously not that hard to know that acid is a hulicnation drug lmao i think everyone knows that just from common knowledge and learning.
Seriously lol this guy is nuts lol he doesn’t even follow up on his own shit and contradicts himself with like every statement. I don’t mind trolling and gotten used to it but this guy is fun to fuck with. Sad part is I’m starting to think he isn’t trolling and is seriously just a delusional reject.
I think he’s doing both.
You brought up drugs in the first place fuckface lol you’re such a retard! I love this! Do you have dimentia?!?! And yea you ARE the bad guy since you claim you are better than everyone here and talk shit! And fuck you for knocking gays and females! Pathetic lol.
Fuck, I need drugs to actually understand what the fuck he’s talking about
Yea he is something else lol. He makes no sense
Yeah… pass the weed will you?
I wish I had some lol I’m out of state but hopefully when I go see my friend up here he can get me some. I usually have a good amount, I’ll buy 2 Os and get it cheap great stuff too, then sell most back to a few close friends and end up smoking free. I won’t go big time cause I’m not looking to deal with a bunch of strangers and risk getting caught or robbed. My friends come to me and we smoke and play video games and such. If you happen to live in south florida let me know lol
Yeah -_- advertise it on the internet on a public comment section.
Great fucking job.
Lol you seriousy think they’re gonna go on a nintendo site and figure out exactly who I am? Cops on the street will grab you for crumbs…but when it comes to looking online and such they’re looking for big time sellers. Not worried in the slightest. Think of how much would that woulld take to track down everyone who talks about it online and how much time and money they would waste tracking everyone. They’re looking for kingpins, big time sellers and growers with pounds upon pounds. They’ve got bigger fish to fry. I’ve dealt with cops a number of times. They suck. But even local cops aren’t getting a warrant for everyone serving that little to break into their house.
And idiocy level of you…it’s…it’s…it’s OVER 9000!!!!
I wouldn’t write books about you cause nobody would read them lol
That thing is writting its own books every day…
lol yup what a tool. when did he even start coming here? I first saw him when he slammed me for saying respects to Robin Williams and he also slammed Robin
It’s either Sasori, the abomination nostalgiaww or Donko…

Oh My God J R!!
I remember that moment lol what happened to WWF it was fucking great but like most things turned sour
Agree, wwe is just so fucking bad now i can barley watch it. I remember watching wwf but i was really young. I remember watching it with my dad, my dad watched it when he was drunk lmao! He doesn’t even like wrestling. My dad used to be a pimp, he used to play nes with me and shit.
That guy says your 30? Are you really?
yea I am lol I watched WWF from when I was like 2-3 till about 04-05. I still watch wrestlemania if they have good matches. My friends and I actually went to the one live in miami to see the Rock whip john cena and it was a beautiful moment and nod to the oldschool fans. There were some cena chants but every time the whole stadium erupted with CENA SUCKS!!! CENA SUCKS!! And the Undetaker and HHH match was sick, Taker has been my favorite ever since Ultimate Warrior left WWF back in the early 90s. Still love Warrior, may he rest in peace. Your dad sounds awesome!! I can’t wait to have kids and whoop them in games lol. Oh and I’m 30 but a kid at heart, my friends always forget how old I am. I’m responsible though and all lol. There’s a huge difference between childlike and childish. Don’t ever let the world turn you into a lame boring piece of shit, not that you need me to tell you from what I can tell.
Your seriously the coolest 30 year old ever man.
Your a decade older than me but i feel like im talking to like a 24 year old. When im 30 ill look 22……. I don’t age. My brain ages but my appearance doesn’t as much. I realized this even more in late high school when i moved schols and i friend told me “when you said to me you were 18 i thought you were joking, i thought you were 14 and a freshmen. It sorta sucks because it kinda effects who i actually am. looking younger than what you are can maje you treated like your younger even if people know how old you are.
I probably will never be boring or laid back or anything, I am different from a lot of people. Nobody likes adventure and stuff. I want to like explore, travel, discover, find deep meaning in things. I think about deep things and like atmospheric things to help so as well. Everybody else is more lame, like just want to hangout and do generic things and have stupid boring personalities.
I hate on hippies and not one but form talking i sound like one……
Now I can reply weird…anyway yea adventures and exploring are definitely awesome. Deep stuff is always awesome. Do you have netflix? If so watch The Spirit Molecule
I do and ill check it out. Ill even do stupid bets where the others will bet money and ill bet some thing like if i lose you can shave my head bald or ill cut my hair because i find it interesting and i don’t care.
I lost and had to cut my hair off myself with a scissors lmao. I must say though i did a pretty damn good job, it looks almost normal shaved head. You can tell that i cut my own hair off but you would have to analyze it because of it’s not even length everywhere to do cutting it off with a scissors. I like it kinda, it doesn’t look bad but it’s totally different do to parts being darker and parts where my skull shows more. It blends in nice and i did it myself. I don’t care what people think and it makes me look older too so, not all bad like it would seem.
Nice Kurt Angle style bets lol. The one and only time I ever cheated on a girl who I was with for a week, I ended up drinking with my friends, her, and her best friend. We got southern comfort which the two girls warned me was strong. My chick ended up leaving to go to sleep, and my friend and I who I actually get to see for the first time in six years tomorrow took the bottle back and forth chugging cause it had no burn and tasted like cough syrup more than liquor. I though I passed out. I find out the next night that I had actually made out with the best friend of my ex, and the best friend is the one who actually liked me but I asked the wrong one out. So yea apparently we made out at the pool and then I fell and knocked her in the bushes according to my friends who watched and didn’t stop the making out, and kept fusing her name and the others name cause they were similar so I guess I didn’t even know who she was lol. And I apparently passed out ass up head in pillow in my friends bed. Point of the whole story is when I found out what I did when they told me, I felt so bad I cut my hair off and shaved it totally bald (man I looked bad). Ever since then I don’t really get drunk too much cause blackout drunk is scary, doing things you don’t know you’re doing and it made me go against my morals. Lol don’t know why I’m posting my life stories for all to see but whatevs. Glad you look good with it, I don’t have the head shape for it lol. That was back in february of 06.
LMAO! Bad luck with the bottle.
Yea lol so co ain’t no joke! Learned my lesson!
Hahaha remember this?
Thanks lol you’re cool too dude. And sounds like you got the good genes too lol. I also look younger than I am, people mistake me for your age even, I’ve heard 18 even when I shave. At your age it’s harder but you’ll be so thankful in a few years. And now I’ve been through a lot the last ten years, my parents moved up to PA where I’m visiting now, ten years ago and I stayed in florida. Been tough ever since, but it made me who I am. I went through 3 apartments, first was a total drug fest, second was insane drinking parties like all the time til we got kicked out, I then ended up homess on and off for about a year, then built myself up, got with my ex, had an apartment with her, got fucked over by her, and built myself up again. Between the drugs and drinking and homelessness I grew up a ton and learned a ton and broke out of my shell cause I used to be real shy. I learned to just be me and not let the world shape me and how to be responsible. Now I live with longtime friends, one who I’ve been friends with about 20 years and his mom got him a 4 bedroom house that him, my other friend and I are paying off. The last three years I worked all the time and didn’t go out much but saved a bunch of money and bought myself a car last november straight cash for a 2012 Jetta. So yea if you ever feel fucked in life, remember it’s never too late to make something of yourself or get what you want in life is the moral of that I guess lol.
im actually 20, and that sounds like hell of a ride and a experience. I couldn’t be homless do to things.. I would probably be so fucked unless i could find a place to take care of myself. My life has been a total rough and trauma efficient piece of shit and it definitely made me different form most people. I really don’t care to talk about everything though….. it makes me pissed and everything and it’s to much anyway,
Your story sounds interesting and gives hope to change things around.
Yeah my later high school was drug city, speaking of that lmao.
Damn that sucks, and no problem totally understand if you don’t want your personal business on here. Whatever it is that caused you to be different is understandable. Everyone goes through some shit, some worse than others, like being born and wheelchair bound or something, and people are cruel and judgemental and can push people to dark places in their mind. I’m glad my life experiences helped if even in the slightest in giving hope. I struggle with hope at times myself but as the grateful dead said, Keep on Truckin’ my friend.
Yeah, at least i don’t have cancer and i can walk and stuff. In short mother nature has fucked me over, over and over and over badly for no reason or action.
A lot of people have told me, or my mom or whatever that i ‘m the kid that had to deal with the most out of any kid they know in there 40 years. Some kids my age to would say your a mess dude. Though mostly nobody knows everything because i don’t say anything, people will just know if something just happens and like i have to say something or siblings to there friends casually in conversation.
This is like the most open i ‘ll ever get because i don’t like to sound like a complainer and don’t want sympathy.
I wouldn’t want some life ending disease or anything though, that would be worse.
Sounds like you.ve hd it rough indeed. Going through hell I’ve realized makes you stronger though so hopefully some day all your hells will bring you to a better place. Glad you don’t have cancer or anything lke that though. Is there a way to message each other on this site instead of constantly replying? I use my gamepad for browsing since I have no computer and some times it’s hard to get to the reply button, can’t explain why but the browser is just weird on some sites like facebook too.
hmmmm i don’t think you can message each other on this website. Yeah i hope some day things will get better which they kinda are but things keep on happening…… everything that happened through my life has fucked up my brain. I realize i’m not normal but all my bad experiences truly took a toll on me, no matter how strong i was, the damage has been done.
Mother nature fucked me over quite a bit.
Mother nature can be beautiful, but also a malicious bitch. And when others around you have it way easier it fucks with you. Like did I do something in my past life to deserve this? Do you have a 3ds? If so we could message there for private convos. Life scars are certainly not easily forgotten.
Yeah i do but i don’t use it that much ill maybe add you later because the damn thing has a friend code. You can add me on wii u too if you want but let’s not like message and talk about this kinda stuff on wii u because people will able to see it, like my brother and stuff. Whenever i boot the damn thing up again ill accept it. I haven’t touched it since i beat shovelknght. I usually don’t add people i don’t know or care to add anybody unless i know them. I actually only knew one person who had a wii u and they sold it lmao!
Haha I didn’t know if you had a U. I’m on mine, my 3ds is in florida so I won’t be able to get my friend code til wednesday. What’s your NNID? And if we are friends on wii u does that make us 3ds friends too since miiverse is connected? Most people I know with Wii U are my age, who have been on nintendo for 25 years plus. On miiverse though it’s like 8 year olds lol. And yea I’ll definitely keep the drug talk off their to respect your brothers, totally understandable.
im pretty sure it’s just iceazeama lmao. Nintendo keeps fucking banning me and my retarded mii. I used to trash talk so bad on there lmao but don’t care to anymore. They crossed my name out too….
lol that’s great hopefully I can find you gonna check now, no capitals? It’s case and space sensitive
Found you pothead lol. And TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT TOAD’S TURNPIKE! It was hands down the hardest track in the series in mirror mode, practically impossible to beat it without hitting a car, but that made it awesome
LMAO i totally have the best mii ever, It’s SOO fucking funny playing as him in mario kart online in the ladybug kart so everyone can see me.
Yeah seriously nintendo fucked my description over, it said. Favorite pokemon is oddish the weed pokemon. lmao that’s actually what the pokedex says!! NINTENDO IS JUST STEREOTYPING!!!
lol great move Ninty, going against your own words. And yea your mii looks great lol. I used to have a stoned looking one when I had long hair lol
Gotta run dinnertime lol
Throw me a cheeseburger damnit!!! Ill try to catch it. If it sounds like it hit the floor, it’s probably nothing.
Haha I flung it but a dog caught it, little fucker
Gonna be busy the next few days so might not be on here too much, going to the renaissance fest tomorrow my friend said, and water tubing sunday I think.
Did you change to Bad News Ema or is that another imposter lol can never tell. Either way good races earlier, had to run though cause my friend had to drop me off at my parents and get his girl friend from the airport.
That was me lmao. How did you find me on there is there a join friend race or something?
Gosh i really fucking hate how there is no voice chat, it felt so weird not to be able to communicate. Nintendo is so behind on all the online features.
When you go online in kart, go to friends and if your friend has a checkered flag next to their name you can join them if their room isn’t full, and if they aren’t in a locked tournament. And yea I hate that voice chat is limited to a room you create for friends only, and also you can’t chat during the race, only between. It’s your friends damn it, let me talk! I know a kid who whines about everything in the game cause I win, and he only wins when they give him triple red shells and everything needed to take me out and I’d love to tell him to stop bitching lol. He’s never been as good as me or my friend, we’ve been whooping him in kart and smash since either 64 or gamecube at least, he just can’t accept we’re better lol. New name is great by the way lol are you sticking with it?
Yeah that’s fucking dumb, hasn’t nintendo ever heard of party chat or muting other people?
If there was online voice chat during races you would probably here me saying “huh REALLY bitch” everytime i got hit with a cheap shell or got screwed by a player knocking me off the cliff. The other day i probably said it 5 time in a race lmao and over 20 times overall. I see you use fast characters, it’s probably the best strategy in this game. Once your in 1st in this game i feel like you safe since 2nd place always gets like a banana. With a fast character you would get very far ahead. I hate heavy characters though because there control sucks so i don’t use them.
I don’t know if i will keep the name i kinda like it lmao but the whole point of it is if i see bad news for nintendo BAD NEWS ZEAMA will be thanked by sickr haha,
I freaking loved smash when i was younger more so, me and my friends used to play that shit all the time. Though the best memories was playing smash 64 with my brother when i was really young. Everything is so magical when your young lmao.
Mute is such an easy option and people who complain about having to mute arr selfish. Nobody gets chat cause you’re too lazy to mute? It’s probably a one time option that would save so why are they complaining. Lol yea I can curse up a storm when I get like five to seven hits without even being able to move after the first lol. And yea I love my speed, although my acceleration is trash so I gotta hope I don’t get four straight coin items and left defenseless otherwise it can get nasty. I started off with Ludwig and then moved to Morton Jr. I always mained Yoshi in the original two games, DD I used paratroopa and Diddy, Wii I used my lightweight Mii, then in 7 is when I started using heavy. Actually I used King Koopa too almost as much as Yoshi, especially in battle so I could ram people and take a balloon. Especially right after the count down on blockfort and double decker if the other player was either spun out or dumb enough to charge at me lol. I love 64 Smash, still has the best throws by far among other things. And yes indeed things felt way more magical as a kid. I miss it lol. My brother and I were partners in games back in the day and it was awesome, lots of great memories.
Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 are among my favorites that we beat, the music and boards were so fucking great. Krazy Kremland for fucksakes, how awesome of a video game map was that.
Yeah dkc 1&2 are amazing, i actually played 2 first on gba. My brother got it from a friend or something and that was me and my sisters favorite game and we would always talk about “did you beat that, uhh so fucking hard” or would just talk about certain things in it.
Yeah things were awesome as a kid, though most of my best childhood games were on the nes or n64.
I remember me and this kid everday at school in 3rd grade asking which DK coins we had found since internet wasn’t big yet and game magazines weren’t always available. Super Mario Brothers was how I started. My dad got it and the NES for my older brother, but me and my other brother ended up playing it more and became long time gamers. Bubble Bobble was one of my favorites, Marble Madness was great too, which that was on VC. The Ninja Turtles game was fun except we could never figure out what to do after the underwater bombs area lol. Everyone I knew was stumped after that. I played it again in high school on an emulator and finally was able to get past being older. Ever play Darius Twin on SNES? That was great lol. Gradius 3 as well though that got tough at the end.
My god I’m dying laughing having way too much fun with this
Ahhh that explains it
It would be a dream if nintendo hired vince to do this to iwata and reggie.
hahahaha! do it in japanese vince!
And don’t worry about making fun of hippies, I used to like them but today being a hippie is just another trend I realized and most are full of shit and just say Namaste and thank the universe for the light of the holy sun and dumb shit and take psychedelics cause that’s what hippies are “supposed to do” and a lot are trustafarians. Sorry I’m responding out of order but it won’t let me reply to your last comment
I totally agree with that. Hippies just try to be hippes, but not because it’s who they are. It’s totally a trend. It’s like they WANT people to notice they’re hippies when there just trending fags who want to fit in with a group. Stupid fake losers.
I just saw your responses, I’ll have to give a proper response when I get back from helping my dad tonight
haha ok.
Dude… I need to smoke crack and weed at the same time understand what you just said there ._.
NO STAY AWAY FROM CRACK!!!! IT’S BAD!!! *gives meth* ok here take this.
Hahaha
Everybody get s cool nicknames except ME. Why? ;_;
Am I really that invisible? And I don’t want a nickname based on how hard it is to notice me. That would be an ass move.
What do you mean man?
That loser gave all you guys cool nick-names.
Lord Zedd got Drug lord idiocity. Because he deals in super crazy ways that the cops cant understand. So they think he’s in idiot… When he’s really a genius.
The Capitain got the Moron Army. While having low IQ’s his army is willing to do anything and everything because they’re too dumb and to think of the consequences. While wreckless, they are fearless.
I don’t know who the queer or witch is. Probably has something to do with casting spells or being unique.
He’s not very good at being descriptive. Probably because he’s in middle school.
It’s ok…..
You persistent piece of garbage. There, this is the only attention you will get. You will now be ignored for being more useless than that junkie.
Oh, and the queer is your boyfriend.

Lol that was great
He also gave me a perfect 10 :p
I notice you lol
You never watched Ned’s school survival guide? A nickname happens, you can’t ask or make for one for yourself.
You should go one day.
WiiU, WiiUFail, NO3rdPartyU, CasualU….do i need to go on????
Good, now we might see some more third parties coming back because Nintendo is pulling their fingers out of their asses…. GTA V Wii U anyone?
“Pulling there fingers out of their asses” do you mean heads…?
Same meaning, different expression
Gta v hardcore Lolol maybe you should pull your fist out of your ass
Someone sounds like they care ;)
I would love for a Wii U GTA5 so most idiots can shut up about Nintendo being only for kids which ironically most kids play M rated games these days should they shouldn’t be. lol
Even though every one has played it, they should pay Bethesda to make a special version of Skyrim for the Wii U (with special Zelda content) and a version of morrowind for the 3DS. And they should work on T and M rated games of their own. They should also do a Mario HD collection that has updated versions of 64, sunshine, galaxy, and galaxy 2. With support for pro controller, Wii remote, and gamepad. ….that would ster up a lot of gamers…..then fallow up with a Zelda HD that had ocerina of time, majoras mask, twilight princess, and skyward sword.
Today is just full of good news.
Nintendo has been having an awesome day to day. This news and some of the best DLC I have ever played in my life
FINALLY THEY REALIZED WHAT WAS KILLING THEM!
And also what Sony has been envy over Nintendo for years.
English mothafuckka!
Speaking of which, you misspelled “motherfucker”..motherfucker. lol
Good shift Myamoto-san… Casuals have abandoned Nintendo after WII games. This gen belong for hardcore gamer .
Yeah it only took them a shitty worthless gaympad, treating us like kids, making wii u for kids. dumbing down all of there games.Making so many garbage casual games that nobody wants. The list goes on and on and it took the 2 years out of wii u to figure this out?
uhhhh yeah great nintendo, just keep your word for once. Which might be true because that midget bastard didn’t say it or that fat pizza faced cunt reggie.
The gamepad is a awesome idea, BUT they should have made it more tablet like, include multitouch and a digital pen, then give it analog triggers. But the focus should have bin E-M not focus on E and let platinum focus on T
Preach brother!
Let’s mediate and pray for iwata and reggies falling. maybe we will have a spiritual calling on the answer to all of our questions as well. Like why wiitards are the way they’re.
Not to mention all the baby sitting they do with all online features… it’s the reason why we don’t have many/decent online features
finally they’re saying “fuck you” to the casual market and sticking to whats important,
Yeah, let’s abandon all the success we had with the casual market and jump into the hardcore bandwaggon where we never make money
Except that success has been turning to rousing failure the past couple years. They NEED to do this if they want to keep up.
The failure is their focus on the hardcore, which started with 3DS
wait the 3ds is a failure?..sry I must have read it wrong..
Umm…haha 3DS a failure?? Umm..no, just because it hasn’t enjoyed the same success as the DS does not make it a failure. The only thing it fails at is staying in one piece o.o mine is falling apart, but I might just be a violent gamer.
More like let’s abandon the market that got dominated by smartphones since we cannot compete anymore and let’s try to go back to that market where we could make some money in the past.
The past is the past, the circumstances change, it is not possible for Nintendo to keep printing money out of the casual gaming market, smartphones are widely available and enough for casual gamers, they got beaten. Do some reality check. It is all business of course.
Actually they only made EXTRA money from casuals. This Gen they mainly focused on casual and children (not going to lie I still got a lot of those games, simply because they are not found on my Xbox) but its good that their turning their focus to the customers they actualy care. Now if they well just let up on their rules about blood and gore, and buy platinum and Sega….
Short term success. Long term failure. The Wii us why the Wii U has been such a failure in sales. It’s starting to come around, but the core gamers felt betrayed by the Wii, which is the worst console I’ve ever owned. Not saying it didn’t have some good games, but it was showered with dog crap casual game left and right that no gamer wanted. You think the casuals have any loyalty to Nintendo? Where are they? Why isn’t Nintendo successful with the Wii U since it has a bunch of casual games? Oh that’s right, they left for the next big thing in mobile gaming. Candy Crush and all that nonsense. Yeah, those people were going to keep Nintendo afloat.
Nintendo is seriously retarded. That’s like me saying fuck you to anybody truly loyal to me and selling out to them over some retard that benefits me, and that person never cared for me like the other person. That’s nintendo.
Well, what do you know? Nintendo just might be able to start recovering from all this nonsense.
“[These are] the sort of people who, for example, might want to watch a movie. They might want to go to Disneyland.”
lolwut? That’s….that’s a really stupid thing to say.
He’s just saying that these are casual people that are looking for casual entertainment. There is nothing hardcore about watching a movie or going to Disneyland. That’s why they do it, because there is no challenge.
Playing hardcore videogames is a challenge and casual people occupy their time with movies and trips to the amusement park rather than playing hardcore games.
That’s what he basically said.
Hokay – from what is posted there it seems like he’s making a blanket generalized statement which is inaccurate, but I guess either the rest of the article provides more context to the comments.
*I guess the rest of the article
-ahem-.
Well I assessed what he said just from the comment posted above.
Well I didn’t, soooo…..-shrug-
http://youtu.be/YBEXLkDzQ-s
Yes, they’re gonna make games challenging again!
Good! Nintendo should spoil their loyal fanbase! It’s when they cater to the Nintendo fans that they make their best games!
I’m even more excited to see what Nintendo has in store now that they have officially confirmed that they will be stepping away from the “casual” market and stepping back into the “core.”
Hopefully this means their next console will be more powerful and a real competitor against the Sony and Microsoft console. The casual catering worked for the Wii, but thank god for iPhone apps, because they really stole a lot of Nintendo’s customers. Had the Wii U been a success, I fear Nintendo would have stuck to pleasing the casual market.
I’m so glad that fucking fail wii u failed. It looks like nintendo MIGHT of finally of learned there lesson. We all have wii u to thank, if that thing was selling then woahh would us non wiitards be in trouble.
Your actually right. Though you put it meanly XD
The Wii U still could succeed in it’s own right, however. It will just succeed catering to the hardcore Nintendo fan base is all ;) Which is how it should be all day every day anyway!
It should of been that way for the last decade…..
They only messed up with the Wii. The Gamecube was a great time to be a Nintendo fan.
the gamecube was almost a decade ago now.
*Almost ;) It essentially was ended by Nintendo in 2007 which was… 7 years ago. That’s about 3 years shy of a decade.
3 years is a long time!
No it’ not, I feel like the last few years flew buy…..
My grammar is just awful today. I do realize all of these mistakes but i’m just typing so fast and don’t care to check.
this translation is really bad lol, lots of spelling mistakes and unless Miyamoto’s tone was really an attack on casual gamers, i doubt he said it like this.
Look even the wiitards are happy even if they were damage controlling nintendo’s selling out, downfall and just being overall cocksucker social rejects to the company.
http://youtu.be/fhcLsh-m_Zg?t=8s
ROCK ON WIITARD!!!!!! YOUR A FRAUD THAT JUST SAYS ANYTHING THAT NINTENDO DOES IS GOOD, MEANING YOU WERE WORNG FOR A LONG TIME NOW, BUT IF YOU WANT TO DANCE THAN FINE BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING FINALLY GOOD.
you’re so retarded hahaha :D
shhhhh don’t make fun of the average nintendo fan.
Didn’t know you made youtube videos of yourself dance
I’m skinny a a rail dude.
yes, that’s sasori when he used to be white.
haha i see but it doesn’t fit. He should be holding doritos and be drinking mountain dew. It’s just not the xlard way.
looks like he’s fapping and we can bet that when he’s not holding a doritos and a mountain dew, he’s holding his…
He does it over the xbox one…… while the kinect watches and sends it to his grandma.
oh gaad no.
This is good news but I hope it’s not too late, half of my family left Nintendo because they couldn’t take it anymore
Most people have left nintendo besides the wiitards, but it’s never to late for change. Old fans of nintendo are still fans despite not even being with the company anymore or just stopped gaming all together. They will come back, that’s IF nintendo isn’t fucking lying again.
Those “old fans” weren’t fans to begin with if they left Nintendo…
Yeah they’re at heart. A lot of them left gaming i think and most still follow nintendo in disappointment. I don’t blame them, nintendo are as much of sell outs as, eminem, metallica, korn and every other artist/band that are sell outs.
If our empire are sellouts then the other 2 are a buffeet of bargain deals made to sacrifice themselves to the mainstream garbage…
Say what you want but nintendo is. The others are some what mainstream garbage now……. mostly xbox. Gaming i think is overall crap now. Compared to the 6th gen.
It might be in some aspects but overall they still do their own thing…
The other 2, specially the infectious disease known as the Xbots do whatever it is their slaves tells them to do…
No that’s a good thing listening to your fans *cough not nintendo cough* though i think you mean is that, (especially xlards) is that they obey what they do even if some of it is mainstream garbage that is trash, (pretty much everything on xbox) unlike before it wasn’t like that at all. (the original xbox wasn’t that bad but it was still the worst)
I just want them destroyed as soon as possible so that gaming can be restored to its true purpose…
Yeah but lmao have you noticed how off topic this page is!?!? I think i contribute to it.
Well this base is all about wars between fanboys, fans, trolls, haters and the innocent civilians caught in the brutal cross-fire…
Actually a lot of people came back to Nintendo and left the Xbox One until Sunset Overdrive is out.. seeing how that’s the only game on the console ;)
What I miss? Any flame wars while I was gone?
No, only butthurts because High Command is bringing the sacred weapons now…

Don’t you have a wiiremote to stick up your ass and a numchuck to lick you nintenquuer wiitard?
*a pee ass move
fixed it for you, bro
Jesus. This site is still full of idiots…look, a controller doesn’t mean much, it’s all about how the game plays, and the experiences you have while playing the game. It’s great that the Wii U has a screen on its controller, it’s great that the Ps4 has a touchpad, they serve to enhance gameplay, or make it more accessible, and you know what, it’s still great that the Xbox One controller hasn’t attached any new form of control scheme on, because in the end, it’s all about the game and how it plays, and an added control scheme really doesn’t make a difference, all games could be played regardless of the controller, and I know this because I have yet to see a wii u game, or ps4 game or xbox one game that couldn’t be controlled with the GameCube controller or first dualshock.
Nintendo is indeed focusing on the core gaming market and this is one of them…

They should focus on BOTH! Not just core
Mostly core though because the civilian garbage have been corruptedby the Apples…
Sadly, most of the casual gamers have moved onto mobile gaming.

Seriously get out of here you wiitard corporate slave. NOBODY WANTS YOUR FAGGOT CASUALS ON NINTENDO.
Dark horse rider put on wiitard fraud list.
Awww, sounds like a troll is getting a witty cranky ;)
Oh well, I’ll just go back to my palace of PC gaming whilst you peasants fight it out

Seriously dude, you might want to put your ass out there because the fires seem to be burning your butt, I’m sure it must hurt ;)
your right i’ll remember when i give a fuck.
Well you’re pretty much giving a fuck seeing how you’re replying ;)
You fancy me or something?
Most of the people he’s probably talking about never really liked Nintendo. They just liked the idea of the Wii. I’m glad they’re gone. They gave Nintendo a money pile to sit on anyway. That means they have more freedom to experiment than any company in business today.
Casuals/hipsters/”trend & fad” consumers just go with whatever is “hot” at the moment and most convenient, and phones playing games is a lot more convenient and popular right now than $300-$400 boxes you hook up in your living room. They mostly need to focus on the dedicated gamers who have no problem spending hundreds of dollars on a console and hundreds of dollars on games because ultimately they’re gonna be long-time customers and steady revenue if you treat them right while being actively invested in the advancement and future of video games as opposed to only wanting to play whatever game is trending that month.
tl;dr: Core gamers stick around and buy more games, casuals could leave at any time to follow a trend.
finally
Sounds like these next 7 years are going to be pretty satisfying.
I certainly hope so!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
ITS ALREAY HAPPENING YOU DOUCHBAG CORE DOESNT MEAN BRODUDE YOU STUPID CHAV

You need to chill out. All he said is he’ll believe it when he sees i, and you somehow get out of that that he is a dudebro and go off on him. Grow up. I am not a dudebro, but I have the same mindset as him. Nintendo has some core games coming up, but I’d let them to keep it up. They said when the Wii U launched it was going to favor the core gamers, and it didn’t. Hell, with all the droughts up until recently, I’m not even sure they went after casuals. Nintendo can make statements all it wants, but actions speak louder than words. The games you mentioned are good, but it’s just a start. They need to keep it up. Back to my original point, chill out. No need to berate someone based off one sentence and make wild assumptions based on said sentence.
Yeah. Exactly. I’m 18 btw. I’ve only owned Nintendo systems my whole life. I was so impressed by the Wii that I bought a Wii U day one. I remember the hype before its launch date saying that it’s gonna focus on core gamers and have awesome third parties. And it did for the first few months. I finally got to experience assassins creed, batman arkham, and darksiders. But after this years e3 of watching what everyone had to show. I wanted to be able to play it all. But because I’ve stuck with Nintendo all these years, and now all the third parties are shunning the system, I can’t. No Kingdom Hearts 3, Assassins Creed Unity or Rogue, The Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, No Mans Sky, Shadow of Mordor, Legend of Korra, Valiant Hearts, Scalebound, the list goes on and on. I have played xenoblade chronicles. It was amazing. Will be getting the sequal. I just wish Nintendo made more of those games and also got third party support. I am not currently seeing those games though. So I am not currently believing it.
To add to that I’ve never played a first person shooter. Or any shooting game. They dont really appeal to me. Destiny would be the first to actually appeal to me. And this is an honest question, what is brodude?
Well, I’m not 100% certain, but I think dudebro refers to guys who say dude and bro all the time while playing first person shooters. I could be way off though.
Good. Cause that’s what drove me away from the Wii and DS early on in the 7th generation.
COD = CASUAL BATTLEFIELD= CASUAL ANYONE SAYING OTHERWISE IS A BRAINWASHED BRO DUDE FUCK
First off, it’s dudebro, not bro dude. You sound ignorant saying it wrong. Second, while I may not enjoy those games, people are allowed to have differing tastes in games.
Good and it’s about time they do. I can’t wait to see what the next year holds if they have one game planned for every month and it is all going to be core gamer focused.
Then give us Fatal Frame 5U and we’ll forgive you.

It’s like the beginning of the Nintendo Enlightenment. xD They’ll become the ultimate company if they keep up with this mentality.
I have read so many posts concerning the blogger lovers but this article is truly a pleasant piece of writing,
keep it up.
interestingly, all the core games are 3rd party.
Miyamoto found the perfect words to explain passive gamers, something that sasori could not and failed miserably. it’s a shame that my lord was quoted by Miyamoto as a passive gamer.
forgive us sasori.
Amen
That’s what I have been saying. And What Nintendo should have done since the launch of the Wii U lol. But ever since E3 they have gone back to the core, the real question is, can they STAY focused on the core, or will they drift back to the casuals?
I think that Nintendo is doing the right thing with this because, a lot of my friends don’t really play Nintendo and I think because of what Miyamoto is doing that it might bring more hardcore players back to Nintendo.
Good. Once Nintendo manage to change there image and people realise that Mario and friends might look child friendly but are actually home to some of the best games ever created, Nintendo will be back in the game. Hopefully on there next console they keep up with the hardware of their competitors and third party support should return with a vengeance.
The core gamers didn’t ask for a successor to the Wii. :P
I did and i thank Nintendo for it
do not worry about hollowgrapej’s comment. if he was a core gamer and if did not ask for a successor to the Wii, why the fuck he owns one?. Just enjoy your games!
Because I like to play Nintendo games. Just because I like the games doesn’t mean I like the system, but I still think the Wii U is ok.
hey, no worries!. just replying your last comment what i wanted to say it’s that people asked for a sucesor to te Wii, believe it or not.
Normally, i do not like to generalize my point of view. I think the Wii is cool, it was nice to have all the content i enjoyed on the nes, snes, genesis, n64 in one console.
The wii had some cool games like Super Mario Galaxy, but I don’t think I really enjoyed it as a normal system. It lacked a lot of features and the motion control was used way too much. I didn’t enjoy playing normal games with the controller, but it’s alright playing stuff like Wii Sports where it actually uses it pretty good.
They didn’t even ask for a successor to the Gamecube or N64.
HollowGrapeJ burned!
Ummm, wasn’t meant as a burn.
lol a new target.
No, you’ll be always out lolcow.
keep dreaming, kid, keep dreaming
maybe we should ask nintendo is my blood :)
Flip flopping again, don’t you? you said wii was a disgrace for nintendo and now you say this..yesterday i wrote sasori is the worst flip flopper now i see there’s a tie between you and him.
Where on Earth did I say the Wii was a disgrace? I said I didn’t like it as a system. It still had some good games though. Why do you think I bought 20+ Wii games last gen?
No one asked for a Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, or Ps4, in fact no one ever asks for a new game system in general at all until its invented.
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about people that want them to make something different and not focus on Wii related things.
A related name and a related thing are two different things altogether.
I could explain more but I rather not type up an essay.
Does he mean from now on? Because every nintendo game I have on the WiiU and 3ds seems pretty casual to me. Mario Kart 8 has an incredibly small learning curve and I’m tempted to think Smash Bros won’t be any more competitive than brawl. Pikmin 3 was easy, every new super mario bros game ive played to date has been easy. I don’t see many new ideas or challenges at all outside of the zelda franchise honestly, and link between worlds was still incredibly easy
The general business definition of “casual” doesn’t equate to “it’s easy”, even if said definition is indefinable at best. The Walking Dead is some of the easiest stuff you’ll ever play but no one in their right mind would call it a casual game.
“Animal Crossing: New Leaf won the ‘Best Casual Game award.'”
What if you are not a hardcore or casual gamer….when we get back to focusing on the rest of us.
He didn’t say hardcore. He used Nintendo’s own terminology, “core”. I believe it refers to people who are genuinely, seriously interested in video games.
My personal belief is that most the industry has forgotten about this middle ground gamer that really grew the industry during the 90s. One that like to play games a good amount, but has other interests or obligations in life and wants to play in short or medium bursts (kind of games you could play for minutes or hours and get as much enjoyment out of it). Ones that are around for the long haul of video games as a hobby, which are the same kind of people who use to fill the arcade.
But core gamer signifies someone who plays video games all the time. Most of the industry has been a real turn off the last decade cause they have really turned there backs on this large demographic, who is now buying stuff like Shovel Knight not cause of the nostalgia graphics but cause its something that fits well.
Miyamoto’s still as sharp as ever. Guy doesn’t pull any punches… whether or not you agree doesn’t matter. Like the guy implies, apathy is death.
I hope I don’t have to cancel this party, because I just ordered a New Year’s supply of confetti.
this guy should just retire and live in his luigi mansion for the rest of his life.
just like when you said you were done with this site.
EXPOSED
Finally! I’m so happy to hear this! Best news all year! Even more than the announcements at E3. This is the one thing I wanted Nintendo to say. Thank you!
if this means an overpriced 500-700 dollar machine! count me out! one of the good things about nintendo is they made affordable consoles! Also free online! i do not care if i am a nintendo fanboy! i will not pay over 400 for a console!
Don’t be surprised if they start charging for online play or ease it in by starting it as an optional subscription with a few benefits. They’ve already considered it. And in case you forgot, 3DS started off as an overpriced, faulty by design PoS.
We’re willing to go wherever the money is. Casual dried up.
Aw… That seems a bit bitter…
But I’ll admit, they hit mainstream with the Wii. It’s different now, so I’d say Nintendo’s made a smart decision to focus on hardcore gamers again. Lets be honest, games aren’t fads to gamers.
Gamers4Life.
“Games aren’t fads to gamers”. Says who? Even casual gamers are gamers.
Or in other words: Casual gamers, Fuck off¡
Kinda sad and not at the same time, is not that I will miss the Wii sport look a like games, but I think some one will.
Not entirely if Miyamoto’s definition of core gamer is the same as Iwata’s (” I personally think the definition of a core gamer is much wider, namely, someone who has a much wider range of interests, someone who enthusiastically plays many types of games that challenges different creative directions. “) BTW, Captain Toad says Hi.
It’s about damn time Nintendo woke the fuck up and went back to making games for the core gamers now I’m excited.
Sony have a renewed focus on core gamers with the PS4.
Microsoft finally dropped that pile of shit known as Kinect and Xbox Entertainment to focus on core gamers.
Now Nintendo has realized that the casual market is garbage and now are focused on core gamers.
It feels good to see the big three going back to their roots again now I can’t wait to see what the next Nintendo home console and Xbox will be like with the focus on core games.
It’s about fucking time, enough of the Wii X (Sports, Party, ect.) bullshit and non-challenging sequels (Paper Mario Sticker Star, New Super Mario Bros. U, ect.).
On a side note, I wonder if this means that the Miis will not be involved in the next console.
Don’t bet on it.
I thought I read this same BS before the Wii U’s launch.

when you focus on the core you start to lose sales…
If they don’t focus on the core they won’t sale.
Reblogged this on eufario512's Blog.
Please bring back the Nintendo that was able to offer us games like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark
That would mean Nintendo re-acquiring Rare, then bringing back the Rare that was able to dev games like Golden Eye & Perfect Dark. Nintendo sold Rare because the 2nd party was already in decline around the 6th gen.
But I prefer a 1st Person Adventure Shooter like Metroid Prime, or a 1st/3rd Person Action Shooter like Devil’s 3rd. Never liked the Golden Eye game & never played Perfect Dark. I thought Turok was boring.
I also thought the original Halo was mediocre. So I guess traditional FPSes aren’t my favorite.
The original Halo was awesome…
