What Wii core gamers must understand, Wii/consoles IS A TOY its for KIDS...

[bdbdbd]

@Soriku&dib8rman: Umm... Not quite. The reason for the popularity of Mario and Pokemon is, that they appeal everyone (not target kids). If kids were the target, the games would be very different.

@dib8rman: When i started gaming with NES (well, my friends C64 actually, but NES was my first gaming machine), it all started in my life. My friends loved the system for its great and fun games (and its quick start) and started to buy their own NES:s. After that, some of the C64 owners started saying how bad NES was and how much better C64 was because you could write your own programs with it (and all i wanted was to play games, just like everybody else with NES).
Next thing to happen was The Great Gianna Sisters in 1989, from which (as i was told) Nintendo was copied from (i pointed them out that Nintendo is the company, NES the system and asked why SMB is four years older, Nintendo copied Gianna Sisters four years in advance?).
Then someone got a Megadrive and bought into the "does what Nintendon't", "blast processing" and other Sega PR BS (i played quite a lot with him with his Megadrive). That lasted until SNES came out.
And then, one jerk got state-of-the-art 100MHz Pentium (he always wanted a console but his father didn't get him one, so he propably got the PC for other purposes than games) and started to send me letters through my cousin "why do you prefer SMW and LTTP over Phantasmagoria". I had never even heard about the game before, so i went to him, played Phantasmagoria and told him why it sucked.
Next thing to happen was PSX coming to market. I was literally amazed and couldn't think of any reason why people bought the system when it had literally nothing but shovelware. Then it sometime after struck me, all the hate towards the NES was because of how different the system and its games were compared to what the people, who had previously played games were used to.

You may get the wrong impression, but i have only wanted to play and enjoy games, not argue about them. The games forums i'm registered into, i've registered only for the info i can get there, came to VGC for the sales numbers but since the forum had so much sane people and people who seemed to know their business, i decided to register and take part for the conversations.
