Just as how you played Smash with the mote/chuck option, I believe us cube players deserve fair treatment don't you think?
NINTENDO
nintendo forever . . .
It worked for Sony, they have beaten Nintendo 2 of the last three generations.
On a serious note, Nintendo took a real chance with both the DS and the Wii, it was truly amazing how the market embraced these technology, but it does not take away from both MS with its online features and Sony's $600 blu-ray mess. In the end, Nintendo won, but Sony and MS had the consoles with the lasting appeal.
In terms of innovation, Nintendo is way behind to me, they are missing so many essential features a 2011 console should have.
To me, MS has done more for its future minus blu-ray than any other console this Gen. By making it more about the software, Ms has really impressed me, and if they can learn to make a decent hardware, they can win a generation.
Next Gen

Does this count for anything? The Playstation controller was the first console controller I was able to comfortably hold. Also why don't the Wiimotes have analog buttons? It sucks for racing games.
Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move, and Kinect.

If that happened there would only be Playstation today. For you kids that don't know, the original playstation was supposed to be a CD add on for the SNES.
Sony is not going to leave the handheld market. With 60 million PSP hardware in the world that is no failure. If Nintendo can get or Sony does something stupid like the PSP-GO and they lose revenue on hardware that could happen. Sony have no shame and will copy /steal your idea if they think it will sell hardware. Move might be more precise but the Wii remote & Nunchuk is better and don't need glowing balls that change colors. Sony needs to improve its controller.

All the inovations I mentioned were console specific features at some point, features that Nintendo copied, improved upon and pushed into the mainstream. I wrote a long post on it a while back, I had a point to prove and I spent about two hours researching the history of these features and what I found is that Nintendo isn't as innovative as people make out, it's just that they take their ideas from smaller companies and then market the hell out of them, making it seem as if it's a feature that is related specifically to them. I said that Sony took old ideas and improved upon them, I didn't say they invented them, they did exactly what Nintendo did, the difference is that people don't give credit to Sony for those inventions, but they do give credit to Nintendo for their improvisions when they should be crediting the original creators. I could re-write the report and re-research everything on the topic, but I don't have the time or the patience to re-exaplain these things to overly sensitive Nintendo fans. I'll just add a few points: - Donkey Kong copied Space Panic as a platformer game. Nintendo did not invent platform games. - Sidescrolling platforming Mario was copied from Pitfall!! and Jump Bug. Nintendo did not invent sidescrolling platform games. - The Game.com was the first touch screen gaming handheld. Nintendo did not invent touch screen gaming. - Motion controls were first introduced on consoles by Sega with Samba di Amigo and the Sega Activator, before them it was something frequently used in the Arcades. Nintendo did not invent motion controls and were not the first to bring it to consoles. - The first 3D platforming game was not Mario 64, it was Alpha Waves on the PC, the first on console was released on the PS1 and it was called Jumping Flash. Nintendo did not invent 3D platforming on consoles. - The Vectrex was the first console to use an analogue stick. Nintendo did not invent the analogue stick. - The first force feedback controllers were found on the PC, Nintendo popularized it on the console, but they didn't invent it. I could list more, but I haven't got the time. Nintendo are as original as Lady Gaga in a steak costume, meaning that they aren't original at all, they just like to pretend that they are and the ignorant press and the overly obssessed Nintendo userbase just gobble it all up and treat it as truth. If you want to praise an innovate company, then praise Sega, despite their downfall, they've done more for new ideas in games than any other company on the market. |

Did you say this because of ElGranCabiza's sig? He posted last just before you posted this so I was just wondering, since no one said anything about Sony leaving the handheld market in this thread.

"Sony have no shame and will copy /steal your idea" like how nintendo stole the motion wand idea from datasoft? does this look familiar?
http://classicgames.about.com/od/consoleandhandheldgames/p/LeStickProfile.htm
nintendo fanboys like to also credit nintendo with bringing stuff like analog thumbsticks and light gun gaming to consoles.... nonsense :
one of the first consoles with analog thumbsticks : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex
the first with a light gun : http://www.magnavox-odyssey.com/Shooting%20gallery.htm
isn't nintendo also "guilty" of theft? well of course not for some people lol because its nintendo!... fyi companies like sega and atari have brought far more innovation than nintendo or sony or nicrosoft to gaming
"Move might be more precise but the Wii remote & Nunchuk is better" isn't that contradictory? if its more precise how is the wiimote nunchuck combination better?

It's funny how people can go the extra mile to shift blame. Sony strait up stole Nintendo's idea and didn't think twice. They took ball and ran with it and didn't look back. But that no longer mean anything today but if Nintendo had done that I would strait up call them out on it. To try and put it up with something that hardly resemble a remote is not fair. Playstation's move resemble the Wii remote.
