What went wrong with this generation of Nintendo? Why were there so many flops, both in terms of games as well as hardware? Did the Wii/DS make them too cocky?

>so many flops
Wii U is the only thing that flopped, fucking ARMS broke 2 million
Lincoln Evans
3DS wasn't a flop though
Anthony Torres
It was at the start. Plus, I was talking about all of the games that came out on 3DS/Wii U that killed their franchises (Pikmin, Metroid, etc)
Carson Torres
Fuck you faggot, 3DS was great. Up there with the original GB/GBC as far as I'm concerned. GBA had a shit ton of ports and since the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS I just combine both their libraries. It's such a powerhouse game machine.

Benjamin Allen
WiiU was the only flop.
3DS and Switch sold like hotcakes
Gavin Bennett
Speaking of which.. What the FUCK went wrong with the current generation of Nintendo? All their teams now only have to develop for one platform and..

Gamefreak is adding a bunch of old pokemon back as a part of its DLC
and you can pay for the Pokemon Bank to transfer a bunch of pokemon not present in sword and shield into sword and shield
Samuel Long
>tfw the only way to catch them all is to buy them all
Oliver Sanchez
So nice of Game Freak to let us pay more!
Carson Barnes
why does this board fucking loathe 3D/VR
Noah Powell
No glasses 3D was pretty cool but VR is always gimmicky shit or makes compromises like "teleporting" in Doom
Adam Reed
He clearly meant games retard, Nintendo has gone a through a shit ton of ip's the past decade, none of which went past 1-3 games. Only Shitoon was a true hit.
Juan Martinez
They are fads that will be tossed out, remember 3DTV?
Dominic Butler
yes, and I enjoyed it until they stopped making shit for it
Josiah Clark
>>tfw the only way to catch them all is to buy them all
New here are you?.

Calling it the "Wii U" after the success of the Wii, which was a system with many accessories, confused boomers who thought it was another add-on to the base Wii system. And then it had like 5 games.
Jordan Garcia
>no f-zero
Nintendo doesn't want to compete with itself with Mario Kart, and the series only ever existed when Nintendo wanted to flex on how powerful its systems were. They haven't had that approach to making games since the GCN.
>no custom robo
Doesn't sell.
>no advance wars
Doesn't sell, and also Nintendo doesn't want to compete with Fire Emblem.
>metroid got RESTARTED, jesus christ
Hey, at least we won't get another Other M, right?
>no new mario kart
8 Deluxe sells to much to dilute the market with a new game.
>no new punch out
Can't do it, too many stereotypes.
>no wave race
They don't want another racing game that isn't Mario Kart.
>no 1080 snowboarding
They don't want another racing game that isn't Mario Kart.
>no mario golf or strikers
No clue why they haven't done these
>game freak finally has mainline Pokemon on a home console and managed to fuck it up with less than PS2 graphics and only 1/4 of all Pokemon in it
Agreed
>no new IP besides Arms
Yep
>No N64 games or GCN games with online as part of NSO
System isn't powerful enough for GCN and neither it or the N64 are beloved enough in Japan.
>No Mother 3
Nintendo doesn't want to censor or release it at its proper age rating of T
>No original Dankey Kang game
Retro is working on Prime 4

Weather you liked them or not is irrelevant, most people didn’t so they stopped.
Jose Hughes
In hindsight, they probably were too cocky on both ends. The Wii taught them that casual gimmicks were how you sell hardware, so they created the Wii U with an emphasis on a tablet controller since iPads were trendy and added 3D to the new DS since 3D movies were somewhat popular.
John Phillips
>Gamefreak is adding a bunch of old pokemon back as a part of its DLC
The fact that you think this is a defense and not a condemnation says it all.
Easton White
>The Wii taught them that casual gimmicks were how you sell hardware, so they created the Wii U with an emphasis on a tablet controller since iPads were trendy
That's the thing, the Wii was plateauing within three years of it coming out but Nintendo refused to admit it was a fad.
Connor Williams
3ds is my favorite fucking console come at me fags.
Perfect for mobility when hangin wit the boys. Drinkin grain alcohol, smoking joints, and huntin monsters or playin smash etc.
played mh3u, 4u, GU and imported 4,X, and XX playing for over 4000 hrs combined.
Hacked it and got new life from it and still play it ocassionally.
played NL for 2000 hrs with the gf.
I have more games on it even before I hacked it than any other console ive owned.
I fucking miss it bros... It had an incredible run but the nostalgia of shit like walking across campus and getting streetpass tags for even the mii shovelware that was pretty comfy will stay with me for a lifetime.

>Shitoon
Seething at successful squidkids and octokids
John Foster
>no new IP besides Arms
I guess Sushi Striker isn't a thing then
Ryan Green
It flopped just like The Stretchers did. Only Good Job did well. C-list projects have a 1/3 success rate for Nintendo.
Juan Peterson
stretchers is fun what the fuck, man
Jason Thompson
3DS is trite shite compared to DS.
Ryan Hall
that sucks though, luckily VR seems to have a decent fanbase
Tyler Brooks
>3DS was great
Lol
Bentley Peterson
Still flopped.
