Gamer demands are "insatiable", says Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime

When did insatiable become a bad word? We are a bit insatiable, to that I agree. And with gaming and the Wii U I really am insatiable until I know every single little detail about it!

His gesture in the photo makes gamers more 'insatiable'!!!!

There isn't anything wrong with being insatiable. At least it implies we keep wanting more from our favorite console(s) which in turn means we follow the fanbase more when it comes down to announcing games we want.

But damnit I'm insatiable because a game announced and pushed back since 2010 has yet to be released.

Or he simply fails to understand the gaming community isn't one solid group of interests. The people asking for Pikmin don't make the people who don't care about it and want other games magically shut up.

These guys really need to stop and think before they talk. People were upset because nintendo went through all that trouble and didn't actually show anything of particular interest.

Oh Reggie... You and your honeyed words, you sly dog!

Though, I'm not sure where he's trying to get with that statement.

damn right i want more from nintendo only tho i want a real gameing system with some real games hell i dont even care if it comes out on the gamecube i will buy it

that said insatiable i never heard it used in the way of an insult and is it not used to describe a lot of nintendo games ?

I don't think he's insulting anyone, just saying that the gaming community is never satisfied, which is true. There will always be people complaining about too much or too little of any game, and that is bound to get on the publishers/developers nerves after awhile. He also said it was a part of the community he loves, because the insatiable appetite for games is what keeps companies like Nintendo in business.

I AGREE! He's not insulting anyone. Gamers just aren't satistfied.

Oh Reggie,it took you this long to realize that gamers are always wanting more,even when you give them what they want?

What he sais is true. However, nintendo has been slacking off towards the hard core fans. The ds saw two loz exclusives and the wii only gets one.. So you can't release the wiiu with a zelda title? I bet it will be 2 years before we even hear of another big zelda title and it will be cel shaded or something goofy. They also need to rerelease virtual console titles as online multiplayable.

His remarks ring true. Since this generation, the gaming market has become supersaturated. New games are constantly announced and there's massive hype for over a year leading up to its release. Everyone regards it as "must have" game. It comes out and in a relatively short period of time, it’s pretty much forgotten. And early some features that people praise later become things they scrutinize. Gamers are never content these days. When developers take in player feedback and integrate it into a future game, rather than be glad, gamers just find more to criticize. Back in the PS1 and N64 days, games had more staying power. If you look at gaming forum communities you see that activity dies off much faster than it did a decade ago aside from a select few games for each system.

I think your right buck_russell. It does seem like games come and go way too fast now a days. I see it in my own play habits, I barely finishing a game before moving onto the next because I keep buying new ones I want.

I don't know if its that there are more quality games releasing than ever before, if its just that the internet saturates us with hype for games we previously wouldn't have bought, or if its just people have more money to through around on games than the used to. When I was a kid I maybe got four games a year at most, so I invested a ton of time into each and really tried to get every last bit out of the games. Now that I buy my own, it seems like I can barely even keep up with the ones I want to play, and I feel like I enjoy each one less for it.

Reggie and gamers? This is what is going on:

Internet gamers see NSMB U as a Wii U launch title and cry like babies because they prefer 3D Mario games and Metroid and F-zero. Some of the others gamers say, "fk all of you, just give me Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem."

So Reggie says, shut the fk up you entitled pricks. We just had our first ever annual loss at the company and you guys can't see past your selfish needs. You internet gamers don't account for most of Nintendo's sales. NSMB Wii outsold all the "hardcore" Metroid, Fire Emblem, CoD Games, Zelda Games, and even Galaxy 1 + 2 combined.

The games you entitled pricks want don't fking sell with numbers like NSMB U, they just don't *bleep*ing sell you massive fking idiots. How is Nintendo supposed to survive in the difficult marketplace if they just cater to you whiny babies all the time? So Nintendo wants to bounce back after a difficult year and launching the Wii U alongside NSMB U is a great fking idea. But Internet gamers are selfish pricks who don't give a shit about Reggie, Nintendo or any of the rest of the Nintendo community.

So they cry about how they like 3D Mario better than 2D Mario. Who cares what YOU like - that's the point. If these babies like Nintendo and want to see them succeed (or just want them to keep making games), they would suck it up just like Nintendo is doing and take the bad with the good. Maybe they prefer a 3D Mario, I hear lots of complaints. Maybe they should grow up and look past their own interests and step in someone else's shoes. They don't have to, but if they like Nintendo, want 3D Mario and Metroid, but still don't care for 2D Mario, then maybe they should shut the hell up and take one for the team.

Point is, people complaining about Metroid, 3D Mario, F-Zero, Zelda when those games will not sell faster than NSMB U. Nor will they sell as many copies - yes, even Zelda games don't do great numbers compared to NSMB. Nintendo just had their first annual loss, and they need to sell the Wii U and they need to sell lots of software. NSMB U will do that better than any other game internet gamers can call out.

how much did Metroid Prime 3 + the Metroid Prime Trilogy sell altogether? Huh? What was that? About 2.5 million? Did you just tell me that Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 combined sales are still 10 million less than NSMB Wii? How much did NSMB Wii sell? What?! 26 million? Isn't that, wait, that's... 10x the Wii's Metroid Prime franchise software sales.

Unless the "hardcore" gamers want Nintendo to die off, they should shut the fk up and let Nintendo get back on its feet before whining about games that don't sell all that well
