Not at all, I posted my opinion and asked for other opinions and others have replied with theirs, Some agreeing others disagreeing.

To be fair, I think MOST threads on this site are just people stating their opinions, and seeing who agrees with them.

My first console was an NES and back then I worshiped it like a god. I considered getting an n64 just for pokemon stadium, but thankfully I didn't. I bought a wii solely for the motion controls (and because of the hype), which sadly didn't work very well.

I have zero interest in buying a Ninty home (or handheld) console in the future. I played Super Mario 3d land and absolutely hated how little the franchise has progressed. That (and Pokemon Y) was enough for me to decide to never buy another Ninty console unless they come up with something truly revolutionary (something like motion controls).

@OP your logic is extremely flawed as most people have pointed out. The other consoles undoubtedly offer more variety than Ninty ever has. If you think that all they offer is realistic shooters and cinematic experiences, you should do some research, because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

a fair point of view. Though i can agree with the OP when he mentions too cinematic experiences and i felt the exact same way actually. Its just too movie. Nintendo feels more arcade:ish. And that in itself feels also nostalgic. BUt they dont always do that.

Their mentality of taking risks, and being unique and doing something new is not respected or appreciated by some people. For me however i appreciate it very much even though the results may not always be so good

I kinda see where you are coming from with the violence bit. I love a good mature game as much as the next person, but after a sustained period playing shooters, open world and war games on my PS4, I then turn to my Wii U for more family friendly type stuff to cool down from the violence. It's nice to have these options and it shows that Nintendo need to be around in this industry just to offer that difference. They may not be the mainstream darlings at present but they stll offer something unique and totally different to what MS and Sony offer. Personally I love my gaming hobby and I like the diversity on offer for me to choose from, I do sway a little more to Nintendo but that's because I love their franchises. Every dog has its day, Sony are having theirs now, Nintendo will again at some stage and maybe Xbox might sneak a gen, but boy the industry is thriving and that's the most important thing.

I think, open-world games, cinematic action games, and stuff thats popular now will get maybe go down in popularity, maybe slight spikes going up again. But its like the N64 days where platformers were very popular. Like crash bandicoot, spyro, mario 64. Banjo, and all those games. I think the popularity of a genre depends on the technology available. The latest decades it was maybe not always nintendos strong point. Because they couldnt keep up with the technology that good like the other companies could. If some sort of new technology starts to emerge that nintendo can benefit easier from than other companies than i think that would give Nintendo the upper hand. It will be interesting to see VR

I grew up with the NES & SNES, but started losing interest with the N64. The stuff I liked (3rd party, crisp[er] visuals, lots of variety) had moved over to PlayStation. Ever since, Nintendo has felt so out of touch, like a relative who used to be fun and cool, but is now annoying to deal with because he refuses to upgrade his dialup, watch R-rated movies, or try new food because most places refuse to deliver to his place out in the boonies.

Your "opinion" is wrong. You cannot post distorted facts and claim they are opinions. Others have pointed out what's wrong with your post.

I think Sony fills most of those needs to with their diversity in their third party and exclusives. There is one thing Nintendo kills it in though, and that's COUCH CO-OP. It's the one thing I've missed about selling my WiiU. Then again they didn't have many story games and not any with the co-op I want. Wish Sony would make Uncharted, Infamous, and many more with co-op modes or just open up these online MP games like Doom up to more than one player on a console.

Those points are pretty generalized for non-Nintendo games, but those type of games do appear on other consoles in one form or another, so Nintendo isn't really a catchall for it :/

Nintendo definitely offers a great experience, but I'm not burnt out playing the same Nintendo games either that I have to move to other platforms :p
