Forums - Nintendo Discussion - My Take On Nintendo And why I Sat this Generation Out

Let me get this straight. I've been a Nintendo fan since I was born. I was born the year a NES came out. I loved it. And every system they came out with to follow. I LOVED NINTENDO. I LOVED SUPER NINTENDO, I LOVED N64. Gamecube was a pretty good system to. To this day i still have debates with friends why N64 was so much better than playstation 1. But thats a whole nother topic. I bought every Nintendo system, and still play them all to this day. (Currently playing F-Zero X and Goldeneye 007 on N64). Hell, I even loved the gamecube and still consider it a gaming system. Remember when ps2 could play dvd's and nintendo defended gamecube as saying we are purely a gaming company? Wow, has that changed. As a gamer, I've seen Nintendo compleley fall flat on their face this generation with the Wii. It's a complete shame to me that Nintendo has had so much success with the Wii because that means they will continue this motion control bull**** with ancient dated graphics. Yes, the Wii is cool in some respects, but in no means as a gaming system. Yes games like Super Mario Galaxy are sweet, but imagine if Nintendo would have put in the graphics like Sony and Microsoft did. The game is basically like Super mario sunshine with motion controls. And thats all the Wii is. A Gamecube with motion controls. Grapically anyways. Even Gamecube in my opinion had better games then Wii tho. Look at the graphics difference between 1991 - 1996 . Super mario world to super mario 64. Even from 1985 to 1991. super mario bros. to super mario world. and here it is 2010 . 1996 (super mario 64 to 2009 super mario galaxy. ) look how long that time period was and its still only a bit better.Anyways Ive decided to sit this generation out with nintendo b/c of the wii. Nintendo didnt use to be about krap graphics, and the company that wasnt competing about party games and old ppl. it used to be about having a cutting edge graphics and technology system that competed with awesome graphics, and great games. Imagine a Zelda game or Mario with PS3 or 360's graphics. It'd be SICK. And until Nintendo comes back to the gamer, I wont be buying any Nintendo systems.

This thread only shows how terribly shallow you are, and once again how gamers are loosing touch with whats important in gaming

To help this thread out i'll add my 2c.. Use the enter key next time.

k thx bye.



The Wii is my favorite Nintendo console by far. Graphics to not matter to me. I just don't want them to be blurry because that makes my eyes water. lol But that hsn't really happened to me on the Wii.

Some thoughts:

1) Paragraphs are your friend. As is spell check. I will vouch for them, they are good people.

2) I think my biggest pet peeve this generation is the "lapsed Nintendo fan". Why is it that every person who goes off on a tirade against Nintendo always starts it with "Let me say this up front, I was always a Nintendo fan". If you value graphics as much as you claim you do, then you have missed the point of Nintendo's products for all these years.

1) Paragraphs

2) The word another is a condensed form of 'an other' it is NOT a condensed form of 'a nother'

3) Stop trolling



So you hate the wii because it can't compete with the HD twin in term of graphic ?



           Sequel I want the most :

Patapon 3 , Elite beat Agent 2 , ROTK 12 , Mother 4, Legend of legaia      3, Resident Evil outbreak 3.

Favorite Youtube poop        McDonnald                 Morshu              

                                                  

What I got from that was that the main thing in gaming for you is graphics, Nintendo didn't live up to your expectation in graphics, and now you call their games crap (with a k?)

graphics are one of the least important aspects of a game, even less then story, which I debated in another thread.
