Rut roh, looks like someone got upset that I suggested that Nintendo might be a for-profit corporation rather than a group of elves making games in a tree-top workshop.  Please forgive me!

Oh.  OHH.  I see, Nintendo's moves only LOOKED like they were ruthless but they were really death-grips of love.  I SEE NOW.  Nice to know.  Can't fault that kind of logic.  I'm sure that publishers who protested that they weren't making money with Nintendo were lying.  Of course.

As far as parallax barrier technology being new, are you serious?  I mean, no, honestly, are you serious about that?  Sure, that makes sense, as the lawsuit that Nintendo just lost hinged on a patent that was filed in 2003 and Sharp has been using it for quite awhile.  Have you even seen the materials estimates for the 3DS?  As I said, they were making a huge profit.  That's what the hell I'm talking about.   Honestly, I can't believe that someone would still be defending that.  Of course, I get the impression that you would have defended it had it been $1000, so I guess this is kind of a dead-end discussion.

Ah, and now you climb on your soapbox again about how Nintendo games are pure and wonderful and filled with unicorns and rainbows.  Bloody hell.  They make platformers, dude.  Games where you jump on stuff to kill it instead of using guns.  That's great and everything, and awesome for people who like it, but damn, some people need to get the hell over themselves for thinking that's something sent from the bloody gods themselves.

 

 

You know, it is possible for two adults to have a disagreement on something, without devolving into the speak and rhetoric of an immature, spoiled 13 year old troll. You ARE aware of that right? Just checking, because your post comes off like exactly that.

 

I stated RATHER clearly that Nintendo is obviously a company out to make money. I also stated RATHER clearly that Yamauchi's business tactics were at least somewhat ruthless. I ALSO stated the already-long-known reasons they impemented those tactics in the first place, as WELL as the wide-spread common knowledge that they had already really relaxed those tactics by the SNES era.

And again, where do you get this crap that publishers didn't make money with Nintendo? Please, do tell me WHAT big, relevant publishers DIDN'T make money with Nintendo. Would it be Capcom? Nope, their games sold like hotcakes on SNES, and far better than they did on Genesis. And theirs were always some of the highest selling on NES. Konami then? Nope, seems like they did rather well for themselves on SNES too, as with the NES before it. Square? Well damn it, seems that FFIV, VI, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, etc. all did RATHER well on store shelves. Enix not as much in the States, but games like Actraiser and Illusion of Gaia still did good business for them. Acclaim/Midway? Again, there games like Mortal Kombat, etc. did really well, especially MK2.

So I'm just not really sure who you're referring to that didn't make money with Nintendo back in the day. Because what I was talking about, was SPECIFICALLY in reply to your insenuation that Nintendo's third party issues of today, have something at all to do with third parties' reasons for going with Playstation back in the N64 era. And I very clearly pointed out information that was ALSO openly and readily available common knowledge to any gamer who bothers to look. Those big publishers left because of the CD format and nothing else. Many that stayed, like Midway, Acclaim, THQ, etc, did in fact make money on N64 with games like Turok, Doom 64, NBA Hangtime, Extreme G, SF Rush, Cruis'n World, Wrestlemania 2000, etc.

 

And as for that drivel at the end....and I'm not even sure a single word of that really merits response. You treating my post as if I'm just some raving "Nintendo Defense Force" kid, when that isn't the case at all, is laughable. What you're doing is an age old internet forum tactic, wherein you disagree with someone's post, so instead of acting like a grown up and discussing things rationally, agreeing to disagree, etc., you instead treat that person like their opinion is invalid because "Oh, you're just an _____ fan". That tactic is as old as it is lame. I highly suggest the next time you want to have a discussion, try actually having a discussion, and not just performing the equivalent of an internet tantrum. Thanks and have a nice day.

Blimey, you made me feel like the good cop here. .  . *facepalm
