Most of You Won't Like the NX and Neither Will Third Parties


I've said it before and I'll say it again: people are too obsessed with the NX.

These people think that the NX will "save" Nintendo. They think third parties will come running back to Nintendo and start developing games for Nintendo's new system. The Wii U is almost dead. All Hail the NX.

The truth is, though, most Nintendo fans won't like the NX. It won't be the system most of them seem to want: a system with a regular controller and next generation graphics. I don't think it'll be that hybrid system some other Nintendo fans want either.

The NX will be a new system that does things differently than the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. Many will say that its not as powerful as either system but the games will probably look better because of the brighter graphics (and they'll be more fun too).

Oh and third parties, ya, they won't come running back. Or if they do, they won't stay for long. Look at how "well" they supported the Wii. The Wii was the best selling system of last generation and third parties, the major third parties, didn't want to support it. And with the Wii U, they supported it a little and quickly abandoned it. Third parties won't support the NX. They'll play around with it a little, maybe, but then they'll go running back to Microsoft and Sony.

The NX won't "save" Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't need saving. Yes, the Wii U didn't do as well as the PS4 or the Xbox One, but its selling more and more all the time. The 3DS sells VERY well. Oh and there's a little thing called AMIIBO too. Those are selling like crazy, especially in the United States.

Nintendo is, in the end, making more money than Sony or Microsoft. Those guys have more popular SYSTEMS, but Nintendo has the popular IPs.

Nintendo refuses to lay down and just make "yet another video game console". Thats what a lot of "fans" want. They want Nintendo to create a powerful system that they can play ALL the games on. They don't want gimmicks or innovation or something different. But Nintendo loves to innovate. Nintendo isn't going to stop doing that.

And another thing....the NX is coming out in 2017 (or 2018 or...).

Next year is the year of the Wii U and 3DS.

P.S. I will definitely be avoiding social media during E3 next year. If you thought Nintendo fans were bad this year....whew...

The above piece is all opinion and not really based on anything. I could be wrong and the NX might come out next year and be the mind-blowing, jaw-dropping system that "everybody" wants. We'll see I guess.

I'll be back on Friday!
