| cliffhanger said: wow, i just finished reading through this entire thread and it (and the article) is absolutely ridiculous. The nintendo now IS the the nintendo of the past. Anybody saying otherwise is just very dumb. Sorry. Like some have said already, it is not nintendo that has changed, it is them. They grew up, and their tastes have changed, but nintendo is making the same kinds of games they did in their hay day (imo NES and SNES) and more. I nearly quit gaming in the N64 days because I felt nintendo changed, and it was even worse for the GC. So I switched over to sony systems. But this gen Nintendo has clearly gone back to what made them popular in the past. I saw this right away and instantly became a Nintendo fan once again, and I haven't been gaming this much since the SNES days. I really doubt I'm the only one that this happened to. As to those who say that nintendo treats its long time fans as second rate, I'd really like to beg to differ. What have nintendo fans been asking for all these years. New 2d mario, new donkey kong country, new kid icarus, etc. And most of these are now here or coming soon. I think nintendo are clearly listening to their fans, and delivering. I have not been such a happy gamer as I am this gen and again, I don't think I'm the only one. Now the people in this thread that are saying they agree with the article are most likely nintendo haters, and no matter what nintendo does, they will not be happy and will bitch about no new IP, no innovation, etc, and they will continue to play their 294th generic FPS. But those who follow what nintendo does know that that is BS. So what's the point of trying to defend ourselves against those haters? Nothing we say will change their minds, they just don't like nintendo's style, so what's the use? And I'm so fucking sick of list wars. They don't matter! Nintendo fans like nintendo games, PS fans like PS games. Either side will look at the other's list and say " that list sucks". Nothing will change that. I'm so sick of this console war shit. It's the same thing every friggen time. Everybody has different tastes, not everyone will like the same system, deal with it! But then, I guess if everybody was able to deal with it, we wouldn't have anything else to talk about... omfg, holy shit, this is ridiculous, I'm sick of this, people suck, I'm done. /rant lol |
Thank you. I'm glad to see that there are still gamers with common sense.
I've already said this earlier myself that Nintendo really hasn't changed, but certain gamers themselves have. Yet, they continue to demand for the "old Nintendo" to return, and to cater to them. The truth of the matter is, Iwata has brought Nintendo back to their true selves. He is one of the major reasons why Nintendo is doing so well now.
Nintendo is still making great games for their fans as well as games to bring in new gamers, something they have been doing for years. I'm glad to see Nintendo return to their roots, and I hope they will continue to stay that way and not make the same mistakes they made with the Nintendo 64 and GameCube.
