Reggie talks 3DS momentum, missed opportunities

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime recently talked about 3DS momentum and missed opportunities.

 

"This is a momentum driven business. When you have momentum, it can work in your favor. When you don't have momentum, it can be a really tough situation," Fils-Aime said. "For us, this is all about making sure we have strong momentum for Nintendo 3DS."

 

"When we were preparing to launch the 3DS, we had very positive signals. High levels of pre-orders. High levels of buzz. High levels of interest. Even things like search activity, which we measure, were all very positive and very robust. That led to a very strong first day and very strong first few weeks of sell-through. Following that is when we began to see some slowdown of momentum," he continued.

 

"I would characterize the key factors as being... first party games, like Ocarina of Time or Star Fox, should maybe have been made available more quickly after launch. That might have been a missed opportunity. And then secondly, not launching the eShop until June was certainly was something that negatively impacted our momentum. I would point to those two factors as being significant ones that took some of the wind out of our sails following a positive few weeks after launch. As we take away those lessons and apply them to future launches, we need to look at things like key first party titles are launching much earlier in the launch window."

 

The new red-hot Nintendo 3DS is coming to North America next month.

Their biggest problem is games, plain and simple. They think that just because they remake a game or two that everything is great because they now have a first party title out. Pilot wings is fun but doesn't have the broad appeal. They need a NEW first party title. Put out a New Super Mario Bro's and a Pokemon and your problem is solved. That being said I don't see any of those in the near enough future to fix things immediately.

The problem can be solve very simple, smack that f$%king ass face of Reggie, and put a picture of Vanessa Hudgens, all nintendo economics problem will be solve, even with crappy third party games. I will have nightmares again because of that jack ass picture.

LoL and you would think they knew this sort of things by now! This dude is a joke really.
i mean if you sell a console without games what do you expect? sure there were 1-2 games i liked but most were remakes of old games. We need more NEW games!

There was alot of buzz behind the glasses-less 3D, but even though there was talk of developers behind it, the conchies consumer was hesitant about the device as they didn't really see a software line up, and feared a lack of 3rd party support just like the wii.

He's wrong. They're doing terrible because they expected people to buy a handheld thats more expensive than their console when another handheld with roughly the same price is going to be released by sony and has better specs than it. I tried a 3ds a gamestop and its nothing special the 3d isnt even that great. Also all the 3ds games suck so far with the exception of zelda.The other decent ones are just ports or remakes of other games that are cheaper.

I certainly regret buying a 3DS. Not only do the games range from "terrible" to "marginally acceptable," but the $70 price cut had me really feeling buyers remorse. Oh I get 10 NES games and 10 GBA games? Well that's something. Oh, the NES and GBA games offered aren't even good.

The 3d classics series is equally bad. What was nintendo thinking re-releasing Urban Champion in 3d? They've re-made and re-released so many games over the years now they give terrible NES launch games a re-release. Pathetic, nintendo.
