So a thread only makes sense to you if the TC is for or against something?

And someone can only use the term "we" when you consider yourself a member of the party?  Are you the type of person who gets mad at reviewers who don't start every sentence with, "In my opinion,...."

I'm with Bandorr on this, I buy Nintendo hardware, but very much for the specs of the machines, the N64 and GC were powerhouses of their time, even the SNES could run circles around the megadrive in some areas (audio/having Doom) I was even sort of happy when games like Smash Brawl and Smash 4 included an achievements wall because in line with the other consoles it was Nintendo bringing their game up to spec really.

I'm afraid in recent times as more and more of the things listed in OP have appeared on other hardware and Nintendo seems to be lost, especially in the area of an online store with cross buy between 3ds and Wii/U or even having to pay to regain access to the virtual console games on the Wii-U again, that shit just doesn't hold up when both MS and PS have very good cross buy functionality over their consoles.

as for "

If there's a game from the competition that is graphically superior, use voice chat and sells better, what we do? we don't care"

I mean, that to me is where I'm out the door, you can't just close your eyes to the other options which exist, if rival systems have better looking more feature filled games... why in the world would anyone not consider purchasing the hardware to play that instead.

I love me some Nintendo, but I would hope the OP is just using the royal We :)

I was afraid you missed my entire point until I read your last sentence.

wow wow! I didn't say that. Better looking games is a subjective manner. Nintendo making "inferior" hw didn't stop them to make incredible games filled with content and astonishing visuals

Maybe for the hardware, but if you put anything on the Wii-U side by side with the likes of a Drive Club or so from the PS4 it is just odd to think that the titles have the same $ asking price on a shelf.

There are some really nice looking Wii-U games don't get me wrong, like the Mario 3d World looks fantastic in a visual style which will age very well, but still from a technical point of view, when talking about the Visuals of the majority of the games, they require a qualifying statment such as "for a Wii-U game" after it.

Even for a unique visual game, compare the likes of Yoshi's Wooly World to LBP3 on the ps3 or 4, it isn't even like Nintendo machines are the only place to find lovely family entertainment, unique visual style games anymore.

But we (the guys on the other side) want you to start caring about hardware specs, graphics quality, online features, game lineups and sales. We want you to join the war.

So that we can beat you.

Fair enough. We are on Vgchartz, so count me in!

But that won't stop me from liking Nintendo more than the others, to make that clear

You buy their hardware because they convinced you that exclusives are a good thing instead of a hideous consumer unfriendly practice to force you on their platform.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I buy hardware for the software on it.

The purpose of exclusives is to make your system more attractive to people isn't it? Everyone does it.
