Between that, the repeatedly utterly shoddy rollout of Amiibos, and the collective yawn from consumers over the Wii U it seems like Nintendo may find itself in trouble soon.
I see both sides of it to be honest. Most "Let's Plays" are harmless. However games that rely on story can indeed have a Let's Play make a negative impact on sales revenue. Regardless, it IS free advertising and for those who stop doing Nintendo games there will be others happy to fork over the $ because people will still want to see them and they'll get more views because the high profile ones aren't doing it anymore.
:lol Far from it actually. The Wii U is doing poorly, yes (which is sad, EASILY the best console this generation thus far) but Amiibos are making a killing as is they're handheld platforms. Of the three big players Nintendo is actually doing the best. Sony, as a company, is in dire straights. PS4 is doing very well but it can't hold up that ship by itself. Microsoft has indicated that XB1 might be their last system, playing with selling the XB division off. The only one who's full steam ahead, and has LOADS of money in the bank is Nintendo. They easily have the best IP's in the business and their funds are such that they could take a big hit on the Wii U AND their next few consoles and still be in the game.
Nintendo makes a LOT of dumb calls. I agree that this is one of them. However the right calls they make have made them the most secure name in the biz.

MS should let Nintendo take over the Xbox biz, best of both worlds.

So they have the most money and now want to take more off the little people that are really already advertising them.That's corporate greed at its best. Disgusting.![]()
Kinda. Lol. It's their intellectual property so they have every right to claim 100% If they wanted to. Still a dick move though.

Angry Joe posted a video saying he wasn't going to do Nintendo videos anymore. Being a Nintendo Loyalist since the original NES, this breaks my heart.
Its the same as Mr Lucas and any other company turning a blind eye to us making costumes and props.
I totally agree.I still maintain that if Nintendo stopped messing around and just came out with a powerful system with no forced gimmicks they'd win the war again. One console that gives you all the new multiplats as well as the most prominent IPs in the business? Game over. There would be no need for any other console.
But no, we need a touch screen and motion controls...
Don't get me wrong, LOVE how the touch screen is used in many games but don't force it on developers and don't sacrifice the power of your system to include it.
