Do not like Nintendo's current policy on hardware and I like Nintendo's 1st party the least of the big 3. They really have a lot more to do to get me back as a customer. Basically, exactly what Kantor wrote.

I reiterate on here that it is about 5 years late to the game.


... Hold on.

I understand Playstation exclusives.

But you really think Xbox's Halo + Gears of War is superior to the multitude of Nintendo first party games? Puh-lease.

2D platformers are not my type of game even if I do enjoy them for breif periods. The only IPs I still some what enjoy from Ninty are Pokemon, Zelda and Mario Kart and Pokemon is only on hanhelds. Halo is more fun than all those alone. Gears is a solid IP as well as well as fable. 2nd party exclusives are way better from left for dead, the witcher 2, and Mass Effect.

As much as it may sound preposterous for hardcore Nintendo fans to hear, to me, games like Uncharted, Fable, Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Mass Effect, Batman Arkham, MGS, Final Fantasy, and many others all play in the same ballpark. They're all extemely good games in their respective genre. And I think it's a shame that anyone would dismiss any such good games just because they're not on their worshipped console manufacturer's console.

There are too many gamers out there who refuse to acknowledge that not only Nintendo (or Sony, or Microsoft, depending) make great games. But I believe Nintendo is held in an over the top high regard compared to the other developers. Even if they did work hard to get to that reputation, and that they continue to provide gamers with highly polished and creative games even to this day, deserving the reputation, many other developers have caught up to them in those regards and many Nintendo fans should open their eyes to them. But that's me. I like gaming as a whole (although... mobile isn't really for me... yet), and it's sometimes difficult for me to understand the reasoning behind blind fanboyism. Be it for Nintendo or any other console makers (I'm just saying. I'm not aiming this at anyone in here.).
