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)

If this isn't enough proof for you, then I will not bother debating with you about this topic (once 3D is objectively more evolved than 2D):

"Regarding music, no, games don't need to (and they didn't) phase out instrumental music. They (can) have both. And of course vocal music is more evolved. Games began to have only instrumental music and then adopted vocal music when they became more evolved. Even the music itself began to be instrumental-only and then evolved too. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean vocal music is better. A perfect comparison would be 2D and 3D games. Games began to be 2D and then most of them evolved to 3D. Does this mean 2D games are worse? Of course not. But they are not as evolved, that's for sure."

Additionally, the OP doesn't say Nintendo games don't have vocal music nowadays but that they got it later than the competitors.


Once again, you are using the word "evolved" terribly wrong.

Also, Instruments were introduced at about the same time vocals were in video games (and it could also be argued that vocals are less evolved than instruments but I will ignore that point). Prior to that it was all digital. Therefore, by using your own logic (which is HIGHLY flawed), instruments in music are equally evolved as lyrics, with both being more evolved than digital music (including digital lyrics). As soon as technology allowed using recorded sounds, both vocals and instruments were utilized.

You certainly aren't backing up your opinions with facts here...I'm not going to bother delving into the 2D vs 3D evolution debate because it is basically a matter of semantics.

Also, once again, you aren't showing how this in any way villifies Nintendo or this should be seen as a negative. You can talk about effort but I think its fairly undeniable that Nintendo does and always has put a lot of effort into their soundtracks...

So basically what I'm saying is that your point is flawed, not based in facts and you have no way of connecting this point to your central thesis statement (Nintendo is evil and whatnot)...
