I can't speak for other Nintendo fans, but I do enjoy other franchises like Halo, Uncharted, BioShock, etc.. even if Nintendo franchises like Mario and Metroid are among my favorites! |
I can respect that. I agree that nintendo make some really great games. But imho, so does everyone else. Looking back at every game in all the genres I have played, the only genre that I may tentatively give nintendo the crown is in side scrolling platform based games. And thats because even though I feel a game like LBP has more depth and variety, its floaty controls puts it behind offerings from nintendo.
But when it comes to every other genre, I can only assume that most of the nintendo faithful simply haven't played other games in those genres and is why they champion nintendo games.
Like kets take MK. At its core its a arcade/combat/racing/tactical game. You basically race around, pick up power-ups or weapons and how or what you choose to use or pick up determines if you win the race or not. Personally, I feel it doesn't hold a candle to a game like Wipeout (especially wipeout HD/fury) which is basically the same kinda game just considerably harder cause emphasis is actually put on learning the tracks and piloting the crafts very well. And this is just an example....
