"Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, all those games are rehashes"

 

That is the sentiment of some gamers which I have absolutely no idea of understanding. Can somebody please explain to me why someone would say this sober?

Because they've been around forever and need to go. I was playing Mario when I was 4.....16 years later I shouldn't still have to be subjected to the same game.

We always here about how every new FPS is a "generic shooter" or has a "been there done that" feel. So then why isn't Nintendo being criticized? They continually whore out their franchises over and over and over and over and over...

 

 

...and over and over again. And it's funny that it's mostly Nintendo fans bashing most other games because of a lack of "innovation" when they've been playing essentially the same Pokemon game for 11 years

/rant over

...Tell me how, exactly, you're being subjected to these games.

Really.

Go ahead.

After I posted that, I knew that out of everything, that was the one thing someone was going to highlight lol.

Anyway, in the context I was using, if Nintendo wants me (another consumer) to by their product, I shouldn't still, after 15 years, expect a new Mario to still be the "next big thing" for the console. By saying that I'm "subjected" to it, I mean that if I were to purchase a Wii right now, Mario or Zelda is still, somehow after so long, a "must have" for the system. Come up with something new for a change. I expect more from the 1st party....if you want to talk about 3rd parties, that's a completely different story, even though the support from them for the Wii is dismal (yes dismal. Spin it however you want and say that the Wii sells the most 3rd party software..yeah, most of them the caliber of  "Game Party" or "Carnival Games")  I'm sorry, but I want to say that Nintendo is the LEAST innovative company out of the big 3 because they, after being in the business for over 20 years are still using Mario and the like as their big seller. I don't care about the Wii remote either. I can replicate tennis in Wii Sports by pressing X or A on the PS3 or 360 in Virtua Tennis, so even in that sense, Ninty isn't innovative.

I'll by a Nintendo console again (my last one was the N64..when I was 10) when they get more 3rd party support (and I mean the likes of MGS4 or even Street Fighter..uhh 4 lol (we've gotten a lot of 4's this gen, haven't we?) ) and don't shove anything with Mario in it down my throat.

And on a final note, no, No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki aren't going to make me think "Oh my! The Wii is a PREMIUM gaming console". You need more than that, and on a consistent basis
