Nintendo – Hardcore loves to be unfulfilled
Nintendo’s Denise Kaigler never wants to give you enough. She wants you to keep begging, you disgusting little boy.
“I will give you that hardcore gamers have an insatiable appetite for everything Nintendo,” she told BitMob.
“And we love that! We love that! When we get to a point where core gamers say, ‘OK, Nintendo, enough! We don’t need any more games from you guys…” None of us wants to be put in that position, right?
“We don’t want your appetite to ever be satisfied, because when we satisfy you, it’s time for us to go [dusts off hands], ‘OK! Let’s go on home now!’ And none of us wants to go home. So there’s this sort of fun… relationship, I think, that’s happening between Nintendo and the hardcore gamer — which we enjoy and hope that the core gamer enjoys it.”
Keep going, Denise. Nearly there.

What the hell’s up with that picture?
So… they’re maintaining the appetite by starving the core gamers to death? That doesn’t sound sustainable.

So Nintendo Hates its Hard Core Gamers???? Were just going to tease you with the tip and never put it in???? Time to chop up my Wii and snort all the crack, meth, and cocaine that was used to make it!!! Tired of Good Old Nintendo Leaving me Blue Balled. I can Blow my Wad on some Hard Core Action in a Dark Back Alley with another Console. Wii you have just become the Casual Friend that I see at Group Functions every once in a while but would never play hot dripping juicy sweaty thrusting hard core games with!!!

Yes I LOVE having no games to play on my Wii Nintendo, and I love you for it! That’s why my Wii is happily sitting in my closet!

My wife plays WiiFit, kids play SSMB, I play my PS3 and xb360. Go figure. Well to be fair I do play a cpl of VC games, and I also use the Wii to upscale a few GameCube games(PSO) to 480P on my hdtv. But the wii isn’t a main gaming system any dedicated gamer knows that by now.

Little King’s Story is awesome, one of the best games I’ve played this year. So is MadWorld, ExciteBots, HOTD and Tales of. If you havent touched the wii in all this time maybe you simply aren’t interested in what the console has to offer, but please don’t reiterate the same bullshit argument there are no games. There ARE games, it’s just that you aren’t interested in em
“Nintendo. Great marketing.”
looks like it worked out pretty well innit?
man, I’m sick of this kind of overenthusiastic neverheardbefore people working for the company who seem to know shit about the industry. Even Reggie is not the same anymore
bring back 2004 puh-lease

This is like some African countries government excuse about why they embezzle the countries money while it’s people starve.
“We think it’s a nice rappor we’ve got going on. Keeping the people of Ethiopia starving, is just a bit of fun, I think they like it that way”
