Maybe Nintendo’s Just Not Into You

[Preacher37]

wow sqrl, that is some serious reasoning you got going on there, major props but be careful because your logic alone could explode some heads.

Speaking as a person who has been around gaming since the 2600 and a loyal big N fan since '86 from NES thru Wii I have to say that this kind of insipid pandering is merely a smoke screen by those who refuse to see what is happening in the world of gaming, change and alteration.

To be fair I too own a 360(2rrod's in) and I simply cannot find any games that make me go wowwwwww, or wheeeeeee, let alone both at the same time. Yet somehow Miyamoto-san and the rest at the big N game me TP, SMG and Brawl within a year and a half of their console launch. TO add to that NMH, RE4, and even Godfather showed the lack of a gimmick and the true possibility of interactivity on different levels.(Ahhh, strangling people is so much fun!)

If people want their GOW, FF, Halo, and anything else that needs to have a frame rate of 60 and 1080p so that it can make a mediocre game(Halo 3) seem worthwhile, and instead of enjoying their games they need to attack someone, then by all means continue to endlessly bash Nintendo for leaving you out in the cold and dark, because you will be there alone while the rest of us bask in the awesomeness of the new ips and next iterations(Please.....a new Zelda.....a Wii one...)

To often we forget our History, and in doing so we allow ourselves to think that we are the first people who have ever trod this ground before, when we are certainly newcomers to this grand world. One man has seen it all in gaming, because he is responsible almost single-handedly for our ways of "hardcore" gaming as we know it: Miyamoto-san.

If anyone thinks the Wii has forgotten those of us who have been there awhile, or that Nintendo has turned away from us for the "very old, very young, and girls" then they are simply idiotic fools, because they cannot remember 20 years in the past, when each and every one of us who was gaming owed our gratitude to the big N and Miyamoto-san.

Perhaps the day is coming soon when this change Nintendo is talking about will be a reality and we can all rejoice in our 256 online multiplayer fps's where we shoot all the girl gamers, kid gamers, and older gamers we want, because we are all enjoying this hobby together, and we can all realize that this is not a matter of life or death. Unless we are the ones wielding the shotgun
