== Nintendo focusing on casual gaming wasn't done for profit. ==
It was done to troll hardcore gamers. That [[Memetic Mutation|IT PRINTS MONEY!]] is nothing more than a very pleasant side-effect.
Line 7:
Here are the occurrences of such trolling taking place:
* The first articles announcing the [[Game Boy]], when no pictures were released yet, described it as a "portable entertainment system", leading people to believe it would have been a portable NES. It turned out to have much more in common with a Game & Watch than an NES.
* A game titled ''Super Mario's Wacky Worlds'' and three "great" Zelda games, were announced for the [[C Di]]. What we got was a Mario game called ''Hotel Mario,'' where the goal is to shut doors, and the infamous [[The
* The Virtual Boy was announced as a full-color virtual reality console called VR-32. It was released as a pair of goggles on a stand, capable only to display monochromatic (red) bitmap scenes.
* The Nintendo 64 was announced as a console called Ultra 64, based on Silicon Graphics technology with advanced CGI capabilities that would rival supercomputers of the era. It was supposed to come out in 1995 and have pixel-perfect ports of ''[[Killer Instinct]]'' and ''Cruis'n USA'' (which allegedly used Ultra 64 hardware) as killer apps. It was released one year after the intended release date with completely different hardware than that of those arcade games, mediocre graphic capabilities, and crappy ports of those games.
Line 20:
* As a way of trolling its fans and hardcore gamers, as well as following its trend of not following the lead of any console and not [[Pandering to the Base]], Nintendo will probably refuse to make any console in HD.
** I've heard that the next console will be able to play Blu-ray, which means it would need to be HD by definition. Besides, Nintendo is super-impressive in making games with low-res graphics; if anything, they'd hold back on HD because the pure awesomeness that would result from an HD Nintendo game would make the world explode. [[Completely Missing the Point|And then who would they sell to?]]
** It is possible to play Gamecube and Wii games in HD, just not with a Gamecube or Wii. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110801093137/http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/ Dolphin] is a Gamecube and Wii emulator for PC that is capable of displaying games in arbitrarily high resolutions, and if the computer is equipped with stereoscopic displays and drivers, even in real 3D. That's right: an emulator offers more functionality than the original consoles.
** They said they would at the 2011 E3. But there's no release date yet, so the Wii U could be the console equivalent of [[Vaporware]].
** Not the case, recent interviews say it's Spring/Summer 2012.
Line 32:
== Nintendo planned on Microsoft and Sony doing motion controls. ==
Think about it, Nintendo was happy that Microsoft and Sony were adding motion controls to their respective consoles. They know when their motion controls got popular others would have no choice but to follow. That was the plan, once the competition fumbles with motion controls, Nintendo gets popular and makes money by bringing back all the classics. So Nintendo probably pulled off the biggest [[Out-Gambitted|outwitting plan]] in video game history. [[Go Mad
* They'll probably do the same thing with 3D as well. Think about it, when the opposition starts to include 3D into their consoles (and possibly handhelds), they may start fumbling [[Virtual Boy]] style. After the Microsoft and Sony fanboys go blind, only those who believe in Nintendo will survive the impending apocalypse. These guys have probably been planning this from the ''very beginning''. Their company has a [[Meaningful Name]]...
* In the E3 of 2010, Nintendo released a set of games reflecting the classics. The competition? Casual gaming. At E3 of 2011, Nintendo is releasing information on the Wii 2. Again, eerily enough, it seems to be a return to traditional games.
** Then bam, once they finally get Microsoft and Sony to follow in their footprints, Nintendo turns around and unleashes the [[Wii U]] onto the world.
