10 nintendo mistakes they want you to forget
video description
Another major mistake was coding back in the 64 days. Nintendo deliberately made coding for the 64 difficult in the hopes that it would bring only the best developers to the table. It backfired horribly and nobody wanted to work with their clunky system when they could work on easier projects for the same price. The result was that many titles that were scheduled for cross-platform release wound up missing the N64 boat, ultimately leaving the 64 with a very limited game selection.

Nintendo can sell games at full price years later because... they can and people pay it. What's the Gamestop situation like on used Nintendo games? (Serious question I haven't been to a Gamestop in years.) Last time I was there though, not a lot of people were bringing in used Nintendo games for trade. Those were games you didn't just get to play, but to add to your collection, and we only part with our collections when we fall on hard times (like get married, have kids, and what not) but even then nobody parting with a collection is going to go to Gamestop to off load it at $0.01 on the dollar of what it would go for on ebay.

I loved my Wii U tbh. I loved Mario Party 10 and I had home brew on it so that I could play everything else. I played my Wii U more than the Switch. At this moment, my Switch is somewhere buried underneath something somewhere in my room. We NEVER use it. My daughter may dig it out when she goes to my sister in law house because her cousins like the Switch.
But I am also still upset about the Virtual Boy. It was the only gift I got for my bday and I actually saved up for it and my aunt met me halfway with the price. And man it was bad. I cried

Plenty of people are happy never playing the game. They are mostly female, and mostly didn't get their turn on the console when they were young, so gaming to them is mostly an interactive art exhibit. Thus started a long career of game watching. Sadly nintendo creator's club has a point but it's not something that lends itself to monetization all that well and they overplayed their hand with what they thought they could restrict in the current culture. They did have a point just not one that matters at this point in time.

Their biggest mistake is not releasing any of their games on pc. Like, I get it. You want your own games on your own platforms and consoles because it's more profitable for you as a video game studio, but you're actually wrong there. If you had ported your games over to pc (and/or any other console for that matter), your profits would see a massive increase, since that is (mostly) all you care about anyways.

I'm not that mad about the prices tbh. If that's the trade off for launching games in a completed state and not forcing microtransactions into them, so be it. Most AAA titles these days ought to start at $30 and increase the price of the base game with each patch until it works. Plus, since the prices don't drop, you can get a decent amount back selling used Nintendo games you don't want to keep on Ebay.

1 is the reason they do it.
Nintendo is a closed ecosystem like Apple. They can do whatever they want because the consumer has no alternative.
Were they to be on the PC, their games would pirated so much, they'd be forced to lower the price (like HBO forcing you to pay a subscription and the world just downloading their shows on the side).

I think that Nintendo's biggest mistake is Breath of the wild, there was so much more potential for this fantastic gameseries, and Nintendo just brought us a mediocre adventure. I'd expect dungeons you spend hours and hours on, not some poop like : oh I'll wait here for a while because I can't climb this 6ft. cliff on the count of a slight drizzle.
