While Nintendo have made immense contribution to the gaming community, they have also stifled it for almost a decade due to the total domination of the NES and Nintendo's bully tactic when it comes to software development in those wild west days. If not for Sega forcing Nintendo's hand one must wonder how much longer people would have been stuck with their 8 bit NES.
Acknowledge Nintendo as a pillar of the gaming institution, but always encourage competition.
If there is no M$ or Xbox, then there would have been a small chance that Sega and the Dreamcast might still be alive. I would most likely be an advocate of its successor as I've enjoyed Sega's console since the 8 bit days. They've had their share of screwups but their games always had more appeal to me than Nintendo's first party contributions |
Bolded part: It would help if you understood (or expressed it) the context of what your talking about, In that time developers were jumping to PC builds and console gaming was all but dead in the US, those same bully tactics didn't become negative until the SNES era to which both Sega and Nintendo practiced it - the age of exclusivity. Even then many of the gamers who were around for those times would argue to the grave that the content of the games back then surpassed games today in accomplishing a singular goal; being a game. But that's pretty subjective anyway however even developers under such "bully tactics" have stated that the competition within platforms (As well as technological limitations) forced them to do their best work. (Chrono Trigger interview)
So though your reffrencing in that comment in whole is true from the context of those times in relation to the point your making is exposes it as slander.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
