| RolStoppable said: What makes these people sad is that the Wii sold so many units. They don't want to play Nintendo, it's that simple. If you spit on New Super Mario Bros. Wii and at the same time demand the old Nintendo to come back, then that's the biggest contradiction you can possibly make. Either that or you don't know what the old Nintendo was like. In both cases it's embarrassing for a gaming journalist. |
They're targeting a different Nintendo to come back. They want SNES N64 Nintendo to come back.
I've always thought that a lot of these "Nintendo abandoned us!" screamers were more Rare fans then Nintendo fans, but blame Microsoft's acquisition of Rare and Rare's changes over the years on Nintendo. If you look at a lot of what they scream about, it was stuff that Rare provided at one point. Nintendo's largely been doing the same thing over the years, aside from some changes in hardware design philosophy.
Oh, and it is categorically and objectively false to declare that Brawl had an "overreliance on clones," especially if you're trying to make a comparison to Melee. Brawl had a cast of 35 and 6 clones (if we don't count the original characters: Luigi, Wolf, Falco, Ganondorf, Lucas, and Toon Link), Melee had a cast of 25 and 7 clones (Pichu, Roy, Dr. Mario, Luigi, Falco, Young Link, and Ganondorf), and in Brawl's case much more was done to distinguish the clones. Luigi grew still further away from Mario, and Falco and Wolf have more subtle differences from Fox this time then Falco did from Fox in Melee, Ganondorf and Captain Falcon both received changes that sent them in different directions. Lucas barely counts as a clone given that a lot of his Smash attacks function incredibly differently from Ness
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
