So what should Nintendo do?

Nintendo used to be pretty controlling about the games that end up on their system.
Now Nintendo are getting a bit lax with their restrictions, trying to open up the doors and encourage 3rd party support. What do they get? A few good games from obscure IPs and PS2 ports that make any potential demo-booth player go ''ugh, is that the best the Wii can do?''

I can see how this strategy might work. After all, more choice to the consumer, and it worked with the PS2 to garner a load of 3rd party exclusives. But I can see how many will become disappointed when they play games and discover that ''cool revolutionary feel'' is lost with tacky buggy games.

Here's a few questions:
Should Nintendo become more restrictive to what they will allow on their system?
Should Nintendo work with developers to teach them how to effectively utilize the Wiimote?
Should Nintendo become less restrictive and welcome a lot of mature games? (note, it should remove the kiddy image, but let's just say it right now: nobody will EXPECT the Wii to have a mature franchise)
Should Nintendo encourage new IPs, thus swaying developers from porting old ones? (to make this work, Nintendo has to make sure their own new IPs don't fall short)
Should Nintendo open up all features of their system to differ games from their ported counterparts? (with more features open, theoretically, developers will find mroe to enhance their games with)
So what should Nintendo do?

it's a 3D render I made
If they can make a 360 and PS3 version with better graphics they should be able to make a Wii version with better graphics as well. People are stupidly judging the consoles power by the fifty last gen ports that come out every month. Nintendo was in a bit of a fix with the whole lack of 3rd party suuport thing and became a little dependent on pretty much anyone, but I think they need to start putting their foot down and holding out for some good games.
[QUOTE=''billyea'']Should Nintendo become more restrictive to what they will allow on their system?No, because who would like it? We wouldnt because we want a freedom to play our games. Nintendo wouldn't wouldn't because it would hurt sales. Third-parties wouldn't because they want to make money.Should Nintendo work with developers to teach them how to effectively utilize the Wiimote?Of course.Should Nintendo become less restrictive and welcome a lot of mature games? If you don't like a certain game, don't buy it. Nintendo isn't making those games and it would open up more games for the gamers.Should Nintendo encourage new IPs, thus swaying developers from porting old ones? Less half-@$$ ports are good. Nintendo should set the standard, dont make a another sequal/rehash unless it's going to be better or at least different from the previous one (IM TALKING TO YOU MARIO PARTY)

1. No. Now that 3rd party are interested in the Wii, Nintendo doesn't want to 'shun' them.



2. Yes, the wiimote is still pretty new. They should try their best in working with developers as motion sensing is it's strength.



3. Yes, be less restrictive. But give the control to the consumers; exploit the parental controls better 'specific assigned game-locking' with parental password.



4. Let the developers be. The market should right itself over time due to customer demand.



5. I don't quite understand what features you mean.

1. No. One of the most important factors for making the Wii successful is to get as much 3rd party support as possible. Poor games are released on every system no matter how much control you have over the developer.



2. Obviously, the better developers can take advantage of the remote, the better the games will be. I would hope in the SDK they offer quite a bit of info on how to take advantage of it.



3. Do they restrict mature games? If so, then it'd probably be a good idea to be less restrictive.



4. While there are some series I really enjoy, I'd rather see new IPs over a sequel. But, I'm not sure how you persuade someone to develop a new IP when a sequel is generally going to sell better. 5. Uhh.. What?

I think Nintendo is pushing for mature games. With trying to get a GTA on the Wii.I don't mind new IPs but not at the cost of making sequels of the ones I already know and love.
They should make sure the game at least functions correctly. There's too many unplayable buggy broken messes on Wii.
Didn't they fully support MadWorld, No More Heroes, and Manhunt 2? 2 of those games have raised controversy in Europe because of its blood.
