The truth is that G4 is a network for gamers, and the vast majority of gamers couldn't be bothered to give a shit about Nintendo. They don't own the consoles, and hold a generally dim view of the company. To be honest they are just reflecting the views of their audience. Which is that Nintendo is not only outclassed, but entirely antiquated. Which means it is the stuff of jokes. Nintendo does deserve these barbs, because for the most part they are true. Nintendo doesn't generate a mature library, and before anyone gives me some argument that mature means shlock. Mature simply means a game that is made for adults to play, and that doesn't just equal out to gratuitous sex and violence. It applies to things like the contents of a story, or the way characters interact. Nintendo does dial in uninspired reiterations of the previous generations games. The innovation is damned near nonexistent, and it shows in their presentations. They don't talk up the game, because there really isn't anything new to get really excited about. Hell even as their latest console slipped into the domain of purely being a toy. They didn't take any bold moves to change that. So now they are looked at as a toy company rather then as a serious player. You gotta understand that Nintendo doesn't get any respect, because it doesn't deserve respect. Nobody expects a great turn around from Nintendo. The reason being that these same complaints have been thrown at Nintendo for over a decade, and it still hasn't seemed to have sunken in for Nintendo. They can't do the things that they have been doing, and be taken as credible. How can anyone be expected to have a fire in their belly for Nintendo. When Nintendo doesn't seem to have a fire in its own. Mediocrity gets ignored, and disparaged. |
Seriously, this is the most ridiculous and nonsense post I´ve seen in these forums. You tried to make ellaborated trolling, but the content of your post makes me wonder if you´ve been living in a cave in the last 6 years only playing PS2. You and "G4 audience"are tottally missing the point of today´s gaming market background and consumers, what makes me wonder if you (they) are really gamers or just Sony/MS lobbyists
