I like Nintendo since my childhood in the past and playing some great classics like Mario, Zelda and Metroid for SNES, N64 and others.
Sometimes Nintendo did a lot mistakes between the past and the current year that they didn't get the ideas right. Sometimes it can be fail, but not so much, when it comes with the dumbest ideas without the getting the right things. Nintendo tried their best to get a point right that what they trying to do before correct it.
Here is a Top 10 Worst Nintendo Mistakes.
10 - N64 Cartridge
Nintendo 64 is a great console classic on Fifth Generation with tons of good games to play with, but there is a problem, when it comes with game cartridge that Nintendo just focus on.
Game cartridge is completely outdated for these days in 1996. N64 cartridge can be useful for less load times and built in save data, but it useless for limitations of ROM sizes, which means it can't hold the whole games as CD Roms do since Square trying the best to developing Final Fantasy 7, which suppose to come N64, but Square is moving on PSX instead because of CD-ROM has a 700 MB, while N64 cart has 64 MB. I've played the good fighting games on N64 like Killer Instinct Gold is much faithful to arcade version, but the graphics isn't strong enough to handle is because of the limitations of N64 cartridge.The Cruis'n USA had a same problem too, which N64 can't handle the arcade version, which later becoming most panned N64 racing games in 1996. Nintendo is also made a N64 DD for N64 add ons, which became unsuccessful in Japan and never got released at USA and UK. Cartridge is not worth to developing and look like Nintendo learned their lesson to move on CD base, which later made a Gamecube in 2001, finally.
9 - Shitty Wiiware games library
I never get a chance to have a good games here. Wiiware is just pointless piece of shit with the choice of all the shitty games library they got is not worth to buy it because it's completely worse than the PSN and XBLA games did have a better games than this crap. It's better to stick with Virtual Console with all the awesome classics games on Wii. I'm sure that won't do the same thing on upcoming new console Wii U, is it gonna be more shitter than before?, who knows.
8 - NES Accessories
There are so many useless NES peripherals they got. NES Zapper is unresponsive to shoot because it felt so broken and not responding well for some games. Power gloves is useless for motion controls because it didn't do anything at all and finally R.O.B the robot is damn slow and sluggish as a game controller. All these NES accessories are just plays like a baby's toys. It's better to stick with normal controller, instead of using the crappy peripherals.
7 - 3DS right circle pad add on's
Why the hell Nintendo came up with this shit. Nintendo have no idea why they never put a right circle pad on the actual handheld system instead of having a add on, which attached to 3DS to make look like a big joke. It feels uncomfortable to hold because of the size of the add ons is damn too big. The design of the add ons is terrible. If the 3DS XL is already came out but why did they have a same layout like a original model, what they were thinking? What will Nintendo is supposed to do is to add layouts, instead of add on attachments to handheld. Men it need to redesign the system again.
6 - Nintendo Skips SONY
Nintendo was meant to announced a CD base add ons for SNES. First of all, Nintendo was asked to Philips to develop the CD base console, but got cancelled, due to Philips created their stand alone console CD-i came in 1992. In 1993, Nintendo and SONY still continuing developing the CD console. in 1994, when Nintendo and SONY having a breakdown and then having refuse to make a SNES CD, which later becomes a Playstation made by SONY. Nintendo had a hard time to make a CD base consoles, which instead focusing on cartridges. Too bad SNES CD wasn't made, but I still like the Nintendo and the Playstation.
5 - Nintendo Wii U have region locked.
God dammit, I never get a chance to play any Japanese or USA exclusives games that never came on our country. Region locked is to prevent stop gamers playing a import games, which is f-ing stupid. Having a region locked is bullshit, which is unfair to all gamers, who wanted to play games that never came out on their home country. If you brought a games from Japan, then you place the disk on PAL or NTSC-U consoles and then suddenly the error message comes on screen, what a epic failure that was. I wanted to play a japanese games dammit.
4 - Virtual boy
One of the Nintendo portable console failures are Virtual Boy is a first portable system that features with 3D graphics comes with black and red color schemes and 2 dimensional screen that you look through the portable system to squeeze your eye on both screen to make a 3D virtual reality. It may causes a eye strain, which blinds your eye sight and having repetitive strain injury on your neck, which became so stiff and hard to move. The controller is poorly designed with battery pack on back of it which causes to lose out the battery pack and accidently turned off itself. There are only 15 games available, due to failures of the virtual boy. Gunpei Yokoi left Nintendo in year 1996 and began worked with Bandai to develop the handheld console Wonderswan. Bottom line, Virtual Boy sucks and considered to be worst portable system in 1996.
3 - Nintendo Games on CD-i
F-up CDi comes with f-up Nintendo games. Philips CD-i is a biggest ultimate failures ever created. So Philips and Nintendo have rights to developed the 4 crappy games that destroys the both great franchise. Hotel Mario came with crappy stages that you just to close the door, which nothing plays like a actual platforming games. There is a 3 crappy Zelda games here with cheesy cutscenes, poorly plot and shitty gameplay made. However, it went became a internet memes is because of the cheesy cutscenes is finding to funny and weird. So it's better to stick with a proper Mario and Zelda games on Nintendo exclusive console and lets forget the CD-i shit because it's insults to our 2 favourites franchises, Damn you CD-i.
2 - Censorship
Nintendo of America won't allow the game to be show a adult content such as Adult themes, levels of violence, drugs and alcohol and strong languages that the parents adviced to children not to play 18 and over. Censorship coming to spoil the great games like Mortal Kombat which the blood got removed from the SNES version, which became a huge disappointment to Midway's fans and poorly sold compared to SEGA Genesis version did better than the SNES version. There are some of the game like Wolfenstein came on SNES, which the Nazi themes got removed and the dog was replace by rat instead. Duke Nukem 64 has a lot of censorship, due to concern of original game has too many adult themes. Final Fight on SNES removed the female characters like poison and roxy which got replace to Billy and Sid, due to it's violence against woman.
Lot of gamers getting really pissed when Nintendo describing as kiddy's consoles, but that doesn't seem to be right. Nintendo is not supposed to censor the great games that we got it for SNES and N64. Fans is point out at Nintendo is to stop f-ing the game up please.
1 - Rare left Nintendo
I miss Rare as a greatest Nintendo developers of all time. Rare made a such a superb games like Battletoads, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie, Conker Bad Fur Day, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark and Killer Instinct. I can't believe they leaving Nintendo since Microsoft owned Rare in 2003 to support the exclusive xbox games. It's gone crap for now days that Microsoft come to spoil and kills the greatest developer of all time. We wanted to bring Rare back the way it came from to make a games that we wanted to bring back a great classics to be back again. Nintendo, you need to bring Rare back for good, once again.
