Nintendo is THAT important because they are the last large publisher that insists on creating games of high quality. One by one other publishers are falling to the 'story driven' and 'emotion driven' drivel that the mindless consumer demands. Don't worry though, Nintendo will not be along in this form for much longer, soon the true quality will be drowned out in an ocean of high polish, lowest common denominator bullshit that 'AAA' publishers are pushing, and quality gamemaking will be relageted to niche status and chased off onto the indy market.
I know most people don't give a shit and are eagerly lapping up the latest 'epic story' or 'hyper realistic' graphics that one of this turdfactories churn out, but I am saddened to see that making games is becoming less and less important while rolling out glitter and confetti gets you 'Game of the Year' awards and 9.9 on metacritic.
Fuck you all.
Thanks.
