On topic: I don't want Nintendo dead. I prefer them barely alive/struggling so I can laugh at their failures (Virtual Boy, N64 'lolcartridges', Game Cube, Wii U, more to come). Dead Nintendo would be less fun than it is now. Good to see Nintendo get what it deserves. Hopefully handheld market implodes so they look more fun than they do now. |
1. Smash Bros. IS a fighting game. It is a stripped down, simple fighting experience, but not calling it a fighting game, just because it's not the same KIND of fighting game as Tekken or SFII, is fairly silly.
2. Your "on topic" comments are exactly what is wrong with internet forums and the gaming community in general. You want to see Nintendo struggle so that you can laugh at their failures? It's "good to see Nintendo get what it deserves"? What exactly does Nintendo deserve, and for what? For giving gamers great games and consoles, many of which have literally defined and redefined gaming genres, controller designs, etc., for 30+ years?
This is the part about some "fans" of anything that I just don't really get. It's one thing to be a sports fan and enjoy seeing a rival team lose. But this isn't sports. It's video games. It's entertainment. If you don't personally like something, then why not just enjoy what you DO like and leave it at that? I personally dislike Microsoft and their Xbox brand, not to mention Xbox exclusive franchises. I just don't care for them, they don't appeal to me, and never have. But that doesn't mean I'm sitting there rooting for their failure. It's a waste of my time. Instead, I take the mature route, and simply enjoy the good games that the comapnies I DO like provide for me. Period.
