Nintendo fails 2012: I blame everyone

Is it me or is it the people who complain the loudest about Nintendo want it to be more like the other companies.
But if it were more like Sony and Microsoft, then it would not longer be Nintendo. And chances are, people (these same people no doubt) would complain about that too.

Nintendo is Honda. It does what it wants to do. It is solid but not flashy. It is not for everyone. Nevertheless, it is generally successful at doing it.

Come on, you and me both know that is absolutely wrong.

Have you really forgotten that it was Nintendo who had Final Fantasy, Zelda, StarFox, Mario, Secret of Mana, Mario Kart, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein 3D and Civilization all while having plenty of games that catered to the casual or the very young in age?

Since when did having that kind of lineup of titles become Non-Nintendo? When Nintendo got in it's own way and lost that support?

 

Nintendo will always be Nintendo and differ from Sony and/or Microsoft due to their strong list of household names. Adding in a Bioshock here and a Grand Theft Auto there does not change that, nor does some of us wanting on a Nintendo console make us wrong.

Maybe, just maybe some of us actually think that if they had some of these IPs we wouldn't have to go out and grab multiple consoles just to play ALL the different styles of gaming out there.

There was a time like that once. A time when Nintendo WAS Nintendo and offered their users gaming on all fronts across the industry.

Please don't allow recent history to really make you believe otherwise.
