Embracing Larger Media Formats
Nintendo should consider transitioning from mini-disks and cartridges to full-sized compact disks for publishing games. This shift can help shed the company's 'cute, child-oriented' image.
Punctuality in Game Releases
Avoid overhyping games before ensuring they can meet release deadlines. It's frustrating for fans when titles like Twilight Princess are repeatedly delayed. Instead, complete the game before announcing it, ideally six months prior to its release.
Race to Market with Sony
While it might be late, Nintendo should strive to beat Sony to market with its hardware, such as the Revolution console. Being first in consumers' hands can secure early adoption and discourage them from investing heavily in competitors like the PlayStation III.
Revamping Nintendo's Image
To appeal to a broader adult audience, Nintendo could consider acquiring well-known franchises like Grand Theft Auto or creating exclusive ones. Reminding players of Nintendo's pioneering role in multiplayer console shooters with Goldeneye can also help mature its image.
Controller Evolution
Nintendo should improve the design of its controllers. While innovative, the current style might not resonate with all gamers. Offering a more traditional controller alongside motion-sensing capabilities can provide a broader appeal without abandoning the unique features of the existing controller.
