Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

[Opossum]

I can just picture Miitomo now...


"Hello, I'm ______! Now, let me tell you about my Internet search history..."

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Miitomo is the first of 5 apps to be released by March 2017.

Oh good.


Now when's Ice Climbers Mobile game?


Fixed btw

 

[powerprotoman]

as its should be surprising no one we got next to no info in the investors meeting

seriously guys this isnt a direct its not e3 you should not have expected anything

 

[Gunla]

Why is the stock plummeting?

They did this when the 3DS was first revealed. Probably a knee-jerk reaction to the delay.

Either way, I'm cool with Miitomo. Definitely going to grab it when it launches.

 

[Z25]

Miitomo sounds like the name of Miyamoto's long lost brother...

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Oh geez

I'm deeply sad that mobile games are all that matter to these investors. Remember that one from long ago mentioning something along the lines of "Pay more for Mario to jump!"? They don't care for actual gameplay and more on money.

The game being a mii free to play is interesting. Hearing the other games are pay to download is nice, so we may get regularly developed games on mobile devices (Ports or even new games). I'm actually curious as to how they'll deal with the mobile market.

 

[AreJay25]

I misread it, it's 5 apps by 2017.

Well, wonder what they have in store...

THE END OF TIMES ARE HERE
NINTENDO'S STOCK MARKET CRASH
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Spoiler

But seriously, I'm scared. What even caused this to happen anyway?

*Reads last 3 pages*

Because we totally got next to none amirite guise?

 

[A Distant Demon]

First.
I read Miitomo as it would be pronounced Miiamoto (Miyamoto confirmed)
Second
Miis continue to ruin everything.

 

[Chrono.]

Can't wait for all the Nintendoomed clickbait articles.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

DeNa handling the mobile stuff and meanwhile Ninty are going to be doing their own hardware stuff.


That sounds good to me imo.

A summary of the meeting I believe.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Nintendo's stocks are going down?

I'm more worried for the investors than Nintendo themselves.

 

[BluePikmin11]

How long are these Q+As going to go?

 

[kylexv]

"Nintendo’s goal is to use smart devices to increase the value of its IP, which will help sales of both software and hardware, he says."

Good. They're not trying to milk cash from you unlike other developers (I'm looking at you, Rovio...)

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Using mobile games to increase value of ips.


Ice Climbers, F-Zero and Metroid anyone?

 

[Deleted member]

lol. Stuff like this is just like Gamecube era to me. I didn't go to online websites about video games, and that era was one of my favorite eras of all time, and here Nintendo is to this day the most successful out of all the game companies and still alive and kicking.

I'm kinda glad I stopped paying attention to news so much lately, when I sometimes get shown articles of stuff like this or negativity towards things, it makes me realizes how people across social media are overly and really negative about everything.

When I get introduced to new things, I generally walk into it with an open mind and think of the possibilities, I feel more people should do the same instead of knee jerk reactions.

It seems weird to make the first Nintendo game about Miis instead of one of their flagship characters.

Why not some kind of Dr. Mario/Yoshi puzzle games, or an endless Donkey Kong mine cart/runner? I mean obviously they'd come up with something more inspired than that, but the amount of potential there is crazy.

Kinda looks like Tomodachi Life mixed with texting.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Sony dun goofed.

This is more than several times worse than when they used Mega Man's Sm4sh render in that big group Playstation character image.

Just to clear things up, you know that Ubisoft "we made the first female in games evar" thing? Turns out that was from the actress's publicist, not Ubisoft themselves. At least they're not that dumb that they forget over 30 years of gaming.

That makes slightly more sense. Is it bad we were all perfectly willing to believe that was Ubisoft's mistake though?

Maybe... Maybe I should read the thread first.

RIP Tomodachi Life

 

[SuperMii3D]

Guys. these unannounced games will be for this year.

CEO Tatsumi Kimishima says there are more titles–unannounced–coming this year to promote both Wii U and 3DS during the year-end holiday season.

Year end holiday season. Sounds like November and December to me.

 

[Opossum]

So the delay is to promote Miitomo more.

While I see where you're coming from, Miis pretty much are flagship characters for Nintendo, up there with Link, Mario, DK, and Pikachu at least.


I can also understand the Tomodachi Life parallels. That's a series I think can do really well on mobile.

Miitomo
Mii + Tomodachi Life - dachi Life = Miitomo
okay
still inexcusable

 

[BluePikmin11]

Still curious bout the actual premise of the app before I get excited for it.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So apparently DeNa will be handling the operation of the games, which suggests that the game design is all Nintendo.

That makes sense to me.

 

[epicmartin7]

*clickbait* Welp. DeNA just killed over. *clickbait*

It's a social app.

So basically it's more or less a glorified texting game.

The pic didn't load at first so I expected a "Ridley is in the clouds!" joke.





Look what Smash has done to me...

 

[PushDustIn]

What would you call it then?

I'll probably go with Nintendo Active since I don't wanna use Live or Network

Nintendo Unified Membership Service, obviously.

Spoiler

Actually, I'd call it Nintendo Connect

 

[BluePikmin11]

Whatever Nintendo's move on the business is, I hope the risk is really worth it, I don't like seeing Nintendo falling down.

 

[A Distant Demon]

It just clicked for me. unannounced games. There are multiple games not advertised right now. Not one surprise. Multiple. On different consoles.

Why
