Game developers: Nintendo is not doing enough to promote WiiWare and DSiWare |
Listed in: Wii, Nintendo DS Tags: dsiware, WiiWare
It's no secret that Nintendo hasn't been proliferating the online sales front, and for some of the developers on WiiWare and DSiWare, the company just isn't making enough effort to promote the service. As a result, many games on the online store have gone unnoticed, much to the dismay of their developers.
"Nintendo, in my opinion, could do more to keep the WiiWare and DSiWare stores in customer's minds" said Nick Watt of Australian developer, Nnooo! Games. "It is great that every new customer knows about and uses these services when they first connect their Wiis or DS. However, how many continue to frequent those stores? I think it is and should be Nintendo's responsibility to have a continued marketing presence to maintain people's awareness about the service."
"We feel that Nintendo is not doing enough to promote the service at all," said Jag Jaege of JV Games. "We feel that the vast majority of Wii owners have absolutely no idea that they can even connect to the internet."
Nintendo already launched a sizable ad campaign for their digital distribution avenues, but the push goes only as far as the United Kingdom.

Most likely you'll never see it, just like the same way Golden Eye couldn't come to Xbox.

True dat ISOHaven. My mom just recently got a Wii and since I've been to the Wiiware store, I can't help but think that Nintendo (they have started getting more lazy than ever) could have done alot more to make the storefrontlook alot more appealing and easier to navigate, not to mention the ridiculous elevator music that they have to put in every menu.

For the DSi, I would like to "download" games such as StarFox, SuperMarioWorld and other classics (including arcade ones), for a few bucks.
Having bought Games'n Music for my previous DS, I know that the technology IS there. The thing can emulate old Atari consoles, and even the SNES to some extent.
