Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Putting tired complaints to rest: Nintendo and the core gamer.

Well, I am technicallya professional gamer, but that's probably a bit of a stretch. I've been sponsored, and I've made... oh, 2,000-3,000 dollars, maybe, in my "career" playing games. It's really not much, it just sounds cool to say: "I'm a professional gamer!" I had a few moments in the sun, especially with Team Fortress (which is why I'm so pumped for TF2). 

I'm certainly very good, and I can trounce almost everyone who doesn't play FPS professionally, but I don't want to pretend I'm in the upper stratosphere, either. I'm a low end professional gamer, if you will, and may not play many tournaments in the future, unless Team Fortress 2 really, really captures my interest.

I largely agree with your definition, SSJ: I just didn't want to make myself seem cooler than I actually am. That is, if gamers can actually be cool :p

Honestly I think "hardcore" is just a term for teenagers who play nothing but shooters, racers, and sports games.

As far as I am concerned, Nintendo hates me and wants to elope with my mother and there is nothing that can change that point of view. I have got to go because me and my friends are going to play some melee.

Take it from me, I know EXACTLY how you feel about Nintendo wanting to elope with your mother...



WTF is a non-game?
Who defines whether something is a 'game' or a 'non-game'?



Well said, naznatips.

Incredible Post... absolutely awesome.

I agree with you 100% and I've been trying to say it in a much less matter of words for the last few days... people base too much on the press conference, but what REALLY matters is how people receive the games on the show floor... Nintendo is smart, you are smart.

Good Fuckin Work!! Thumbs up!

Another one of these threads to prove that Nintendo isn't abandoning the core gamer.

If it isn't why are there all these threads trying to convince people...

Also you included Warioware, Mario Party AND Endless Blue in core games?



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

great post...

@Rath

A non-game is what the Sony camp and invented to have an excuse to say that Nintendo killed gaming.



 

 

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!

I want Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland... I can't be the only one who wants this game...



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
