Nintendo Exclusives Have Magical Powers
Nintendo is one of the few companies that shows up with amazing exclusives right out of the gate. Now, stop for a second and think about Xenoblade Chronicles X. It’s one of the biggest action RPGs available on consoles right now, and it’s on the weakest (hardware-wise) of the Big 3. Just imagine what some ingenuity along with a beefed up Nintendo console could do.
There’s a reason Nintendo can make so many praised games out of the same worlds for the past three decades. It’s because if the company knows how to do one thing: make some damn fine video games.
Take a console that is powerful enough to run all of the newest video games, allows for all of the streaming and sharing you could hope for, and is the only place where you can play Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, and what do you have? A box that gamers old and young would line up for.
Nintendo has proven that they can step into nearly any genre and impress. Splatoon alone is proof that a silly idea can become something absolutely amazing. That Nintendo magic is the first step in capturing attention, and then the tech will do the rest of the talking.
Just imagine the NX launching, that huge open world Legend of Zelda with stunning visuals. People would care. They would care a whole lot.
