I was just going to passively read the thread, not responding until after reading it all (if then), but I snapped on page 3 (@50) when I noticed a passage from the OP I'd overlooked:

Same thing happened in the Fighting genre, where Nintendo came up with Super Smash Bros to compete with the complex and somehow realistic Tekken, Dead Or Alive and Soul Calibur.
YOU SON OF A BITCH! After that huge fight in the other thread over "photo realism" you dare to call Tekken and Soul Calibur "realistic"? I guess Jigglypuff is too much of a balloon for you.

The fact is that you are still mistaking your personal views for universal truth. (This isn't directly talking about Tekken anymore, but in general how rock music and human characters are supposed to be objectively superior in games to orchestral music and Pokemon.)

Nice to see you Final-Fan.

LOL, I understand your anger, but let me explain then. First of all, I called them "somehow realistic", not "realistic". And I did so because they comprise fighters with real techniques and real moves. You can actually learn a lot about martial arts playing those games (in a way that you can't on books or videos, because on videogames you do it yourself and you apply each move when you feel the need to do so). On top of that, the characters are humans (maybe not all of them) and the arenas seem real.

And this is universal truth. Super Smash Bros doesn't comprise real martial arts. Other games do. Super Smash Bros isn't mainly about humans. Other games are. This is not my opinion. These are facts.

In regards to music, one can perceive an evolution along the time. And there was a time in history when music in videogames began to shift from instrumental-only to sang music. For example, 8 bit music is not as evolved as the music we have nowadays on games. Is it better or worse? That's about tastes. But it's not as evolved, that's a fact too.

As for the human characters vs Pokémon, I didn't get it. What are you talking about?

I feel like every time you use the word "evolution", the entire scientific community cringes.Its like when people say that humans are the "most evolved" animal which is complete BS from a scientific perspective.

You really cannot say anything about the music Nintendo uses in their games without being 100% opinionated. There is no facts backing up those opinions. "Sang music" is in no way more evolved than instrumental music. You have spoken about music a few times on here and used it as an example of how Nintendo hasn't evolved or adapted but I am still waiting for proof.

Additionally Nintendo does use vocals in a lot of their music (whether it is a choir or it is lyrical varies)
