Nintendo may be gaming Giants but they
don’t get everything right with their
home consoles welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the 10 things we’d like to see in
nintendos next console the NX and here’s
the reason why this is the new
controller for Wii U just to be clear
this list isn’t meant to be blind
criticism of Nintendo or the Wii U as
while it may not have been a mass seller
there’s no denying its first party
lineup is top notch this is just meant
to be a bit of constructive criticism
going forward more than anything I’m
really looking forward to new styles of
play in ways we haven’t thought of yet
number 10 ditch the Wii brand Nintendo
has always been a company that is very
keen on innovation with that in mind
perhaps the time to come up with new
branding for their consoles the Wii U’s
resemblance to its predecessor led a lot
of casual gamers not to realise that it
was an entirely new console the Wii had
by this point become known for its
gimmicky motion controls that many
people stopped playing after the fad
wore off
which in turn turned away a lot of new
potential customers when the WiiU
arrived
plus naming conventions seem to be a
sticking point for Nintendo just look at
the 3ds 3ds XL the 2d s the new 3ds and
the new 3ds XL for example something
that looks a lot like new super mario
brothers Wii but in this conceptual
state it’s being called new Super Mario
Brothers me wait what number nine bundle
a normal controller with the console
today rightly or wrongly these days most
controllers have the same basic setup
while we like innovation we feel that it
would be great to stick with the
controller shape that has become
standard down knows you don’t tell
anything about this oh we do they
already have the pro controller but it
doesn’t come with the console for the NX
we’d suggest that they package a simple
controller with the console something
that will appeal to hardcore gamers who
didn’t think controllers needed to be
improved upon in the first place kind of
looks a lot like the Xbox 360 controller
but the layout is just a little bit
different obviously you can still have
your unique Flair but a back to basics
approach might be more widely adopted by
new customers but I just like to see
them put the headset in here just try to
make it a simpler process unless things
you have to worry about whenever you’re
playing the game number 8 options for a
virtual reality controller attachment
though it may bring back memories of the
infamous Virtual Boy flop the time is
probably right to bring virtual reality
back to Nintendo consoles or at least
offer it as a side option for those who
want to play it that way remember we can
do more than two colors now there’s only
one problem it leaves your eyes the 3ds
has already employed augmented reality
to great success and feels like a step
in the right direction
with the slow-burn introduction of
systems like the oculus rift and project
mobius virtual reality gaming is set to
take off in a huge way and Nintendo have
the potential to be on the front line
once again
a few seconds remaining number salmon
loser let’s play restrictions do you
feed his moves son
Wow let’s play videos and streaming game
casts are one of the biggest trends in
gaming and they aren’t going anywhere
anytime soon so naturally Nintendo’s
recent decision to monetize the videos
that these content creators has been met
with a lot of criticism what if I do a
review I’m gonna deal with this
Nintendo really Nintendo has to realize
that this is entirely free advertising
for their games considering how it’s
often the simplest and silliest of games
that get the most traction in this
medium it seems like a perfect fit for
Nintendo with their overall emphasis on
fun being one of their core values think
about it
do you think all those let’s play videos
actually hurt the sales of five nights
at Freddy’s I tried to push it number
six offer a larger native hard drive
these days downloadable triple-a titles
can come in anywhere from 20 to 50
gigabytes of hard drive space and that’s
not even taking into account DLC and
patches which take up even more space
on the Xbox and Playstation which can
store 500 gigabytes each that’s not much
of a problem yet but the Wii U hard
drives come in two basic sizes the 8
gigabyte and the premium 32 gigabyte
size the Wii U’s storage can be
increased but it’s annoying that we have
to buy another hard drive just to fit
the games that we paid for considering
how fast things are moving in order to
stay relevant for a decent amount of
time the NX should probably sport no
less than a full terabyte of storage
number 5 graphics and specs on par with
their competitors hey Mona me on a
popular movie game Nintendo have gone
one of the best handhelds out there in
the form of the 3ds but they are far
outclassed on the home console front
we’ve already mentioned their hard drive
issues but looking at the specs it’s
clear that they fall short again even if
you don’t count the second screen
sapping a lot of the processing power
the CPU and the GPU s found in
Nintendo’s current console are far
behind what’s offered by Sony and
Microsoft Plus even the competitors are
having a tough time hitting 1080p 60
frames per second so the NX is going to
need a major boost in order to meet
today’s brutal demand for graphics
number for a stronger launch lineup a
console is only as good as the games it
can play so why buy a new console with
no good new games I’m on my way just
behave yourself for a bit longer in the
past they’ve had some extremely strong
launch titles like Super Mario Brothers
Super Mario World and Super Mario 64
that were not only system sellers but
groundbreaking titles in their own right
compare that to the wheat you with
strong titles like Super Smash Brothers
and Mario Kart 8 that weren’t released
until 18 months after the launch you got
to have a reason to line up to buy this
thing on launch day and Nintendo
definitely has the names they just need
the games
number three either a good port or none
at all
sorry I’m late yeah yeah doing it add
when developers have to port a game to a
system with inferior specs or
alterations sometimes the end results
make the customer wish they hadn’t even
bothered titles like watchdogs were not
only released much later than their
counterparts on other systems but they
had missing content these late releases
often lack the DLC missions and some
games like Sniper Elite v2 and Batman
Arkham origins
lacked the multiplayer modes found on
other platforms you do realize it is
Christmas Eve
this relates to our point about stronger
hardware if you can keep up with the
other consoles you can have a lot of the
same games do you think this is strong
enough look did you know his voice Jesus
Eden just leave it it’s fine number two
more new intellectual properties
splatoon is a good step in the right
direction but waiting four years for a
new Zelda or Mario game is not enough to
build a strong console community with oh
I heard a metallic sound that sound
tells you that your arrow has hit the
right spot and damaged your enemy while
these games will always sell the gaming
powerhouse needs to come up with some
more reasons to buy the console and for
that they need stronger exclusive titles
people who don’t like Mario Zelda and
maybe Metroid in the first place won’t
get excited for the next release in
those franchises you got to make some
new fans to not just cling desperately
to the old ones are you sure that this
will be released next year yes all the
staff members are working together and
doing their best before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
how are you
number one a better online ecosystem
sometimes it’s good to say what Nintendo
does right it’s great that they offer a
subscription free online gaming service
while this is admirable it’s hard to
deny that their online presence needs an
overhaul oh man he got me again at the
moment there a shop needs a major
revision shopping and purchasing needs
to be much easier and more intuitive
finding the Smash Brothers a non content
for example is a needlessly complex
process they also need to implement key
features like messaging your friends and
setting up groups and parties to join
with features that are much simpler on
the competing consoles people want to
play with their friends and they want to
give you their money online you just
gotta let them hey ok come on come on
come on pick up man how’s the zombie
killing business do you agree with our
list yes how do you think Nintendo needs
to improve their game for more great top
