Operation rainfall

Nintendo fans(america) pushing for Jrpg's that only seem to come out in japan. Thought it was a good read. Reason why I personally moved away from nintendo. While I did enjoy nintendo's lineup of games(zelda, mario) it wasn't enough to make me buy a nintendo system after N64. N64 while it had some really great games I already missed the RPG's that came out on super nintendo before. As their systems after super nintendo came out all I saw was less and less Jrpg's. While these games continue to come out in japan.

Gamecube was lame, N64 was the height of nintendo systems and they will continue to fall behind because they gave up marketing to gamers and just make stuff for families and kids. Granted it's a solid business plan, but the majority of purchasing power in games these days is like 18-40 age range for men.

They did studies and have found that the last generation plays more games than the one right now. Never understood why Nintendo doesn't cater more towards 21-50, that's where the money is. I understand that there is lots of money off kids and families and that's fine. Nintendo makes a killing, but they could be making so much more.

I think people our age appreciate good games more. We aren't as complacent when it comes to rehashing the same COD over and over. We remember good games, that for the flaws they had, had also giant spots of brilliance. Need more of this shit.
