Nintendo already support Indy games in WiiWare. My boys 7 & 10 love their 3DSs & Wii and rarely use the the iPod touch or XBox. Nintendo is after a younger market. There is lots of room for them. They have been pronounced "nearly dead" many times.
- chaostheory 15y agoI don't feel that they'll ever die either. It'll just be another Gamecube period that they're entering. Their indy catalog pales in comparison to their competitor's catalogs. Not to mention the pricing sucks in general
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoMore accurate would be comparing to the N64. The [N64|3DS] came out using overpriced, relatively low storage cartridges when [Sony/Sega|Apple/Amazon] moved to [CD-ROM|cloud!] which is cheaper, more powerful, and allowed for easier distribution; as well as their competitors being easier to write for.
- peterb 15y agoIn Nintendo's market cartridges are an advantage. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt & Uncle want to give a tangible present, not a gift card or "points". It is not about the technology, it is about the experience. I'm a dad, Nintendo has nailed it.
- peterb 15y agoHow many indy games target 4-10 year olds? Pricing doesn't matter as long as it is an affordable birthday present for grandma, grandpa, aunts, etc.
- chaostheory 15y agoActually a lot. Currently there are hundreds of titles on Apple's store. I wouldn't doubt if Google had a similar number. Have you seen the library for iPad and iPhone?
