Miyamoto Thinks PS Vita Needs More Games

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

The Vita has an absolutely tepid release schedule so far. Literally every single title that is worth playing is already out on a home console. Then again, Sony has ALWAYS forgotten that software sells units, not how many bells and whistles the hardware has. Then again, this is what happens when you're not a game company but a games division of an electronics company

Does there exist a single original IP on the 3DS? At all?

Once again you can't compare some obscure Japanese game to the most popular game series on the planet. Nintendo could half ass a Mario game in less than a year and it would still sell a million.

Because Uncharted doesn't exist anymore, and Golden Abyss was erased from existence.

Uncharted isn't original and on top of that has 3 better games on the PS3 already. All the new one has to add is touch screen controls and there's a reason Uncharted 2 got rid of the motion controls of the first one. Would you really pay an extra $250 plus the memory card just for another Uncharted that's only new feature is touch controls?

For the exact same reason you'd pay $169 for a new Mario thats only new feature is a hard to focus 3D effect that doesn't add anything.

Once again, refrain from bringing up any argument that you yourself already dismissed.

Mario on the 3DS made it's sales jump. Uncharted did nothing.

LoL they actually think Kid Icharus is a good game.

It's a Nintendo Game.

Based on a franchise from the 80s.

With some gimmick attached to it.

Isn't that Nintendo's textbook definition of good?

So therefore the problem isn't a lack of quality games by any stretch of the imagination.

Like John said, the 3DS's sales had nothing to do with the software, and more to do with the price drop.

Well that's obvious by it's sales records when they did that. What was it less than 100k sold before the drop to 370k sold afterward? However I doubt Sony is going to cut the price anytime soon since they are already selling it at a loss.

No, the fact that its a portable game that isn't fucking portable makes it a bad game.

Kid Icarus: Uprising isn't portable?

Gee, I wish someone informed me that before I spent the vast majority of my playtime on it beyond the confines of my home.

Dillon's Rolling Western, Mutant Mudds, Freakyforms, Pushmo, Sakura Samurai?

Captain Obvious to the rescue! Only he can point out what everyone else already knows! Blue skies? Now you know for sure! Water is wet? Fact checked and proven accurate!

Miyamoto admitted that the 3DS had had issues with a similar lack of compelling launch titles.
Miyamoto is a troll to think we listen to him when he being a hypocrite.

The 3DS been out for more than a year, the PS Vita, a few months and the Vita already has the stronger library of games, and it is not region locked.

Well, the Vita didn't release with mountains of shovelware, unlike the 3DS, so I don't think nintendo has the right to talk in that regard.

Besides, we get P4:TG. That makes the whole console worth buying. Best part is: It's coming out in fall. Most original titles for 3DS took a year to come out.

Agreed

When Nintendo stop accepting Shovelware for titles, then maybe Nintendon't might have a point.

So far I seen only one really bad title for the Vita (Dungeon Hunter), some are lack luster titles but not awful ones. I can count on one hand all the 3DS games I think are worth it, 3 and 2 of them are N64 ports. The is Mario Kart 7. Super Mario 3D Land is a disappointment, and that is hard for a non-sport Mario game to do.

LoL they actually think Kid Icharus is a good game.

I liked it, It had good writing that actually made me laugh a few times as well as the fact that it wasn't afraid to make fun of itself.

Why does everything Miyamoto say become news? He's not particularly insightful and he's incredibly boring.

Because he created some of the most successful games in the world, and having a ludicrous pedigree of games he either worked on or headed up.

I probably should have phrased it better; why is he still news worthy?

You know what they say about people living in glass houses...

 

[Tempest13]

the 3DS hasn't really impressed me much either, once Fire Emblem 13 comes out then Miyamoto can start talking

Mario is far different from Persona. The only people I see using the "remaking the same game" thing are people who just hate Nintendo. Also considering the popularity of Mario versus Persona you might want to find a better comparison point instead of an obscure japanese game versus the most popular game series in the world.

My point was that original titles are not as important as you were making out. Consoles can do fine with remakes and sequels if there is an appetite for them. If you'd read all of my post you would have seen that I went on to question the niche titles people are desperate for on the vita.

Just because you can find very similar mario or mario kart titles on the Wii or the DS lite has not meant that the 3ds didnt sell. There is no saying that the Vita cant do the same with popular sony titles.

Someone is feeling defensive today...

This isn't really me being defensive I have arguments to what people are saying and I'm saying them. I never said the 3DS didn't sell though I get people saying that I was saying that from my statements about unoriginal titles. The problem is Sony doesn't own anything that much in high demand. Uncharted was a launch title and that obviously didn't do much and that's one of Sony's highest selling first party titles. Honestly Sony's own titles aren't that original anyway. The most popular ones I can think of are Uncharted and Gran Turismo and regardless of their quality they are just a racing game and a third person shooter. Software sells a console and they just don't have anything that's screaming at people to buy the system and I really don't think Persona 4 will be that game either. If it ends up being that I'll make a post on the forums and apologize for all of this.

Add $120+ onto those prices and that's how much we have to pay in Australia for one. Price is too high, and there's a lack of games also. top top it off, games we DO own on PS1 or PS2 have to be Re-Bought AGAIN via the PS Network.

Personally, I'm not buying one until FFX is released on it, which probably wont be until 2013 :\

 

[Guffe]

the vitas problem is that it does not play Pokemon.

Business idea!
Lets make a watch that you can play the pokemon games on!
Soon we're billionares!
