Are you a fanboy?

robjoh said: Well I am somewhat a Nintendo fan, but I do not jump on to new hardware before the games I want is there (which is the reason why I don't own a Wii yet). For me Nintendo has always stood for fun, which is what I am looking for. I am not that big fan that I couldn't buy another hardware if the game I want is on that hardware. So far Nintendo have succeded Some of the Nintendo games are done by thired party groups, heck some of my favorit Nintendo games has different studios behind them: Super Mario Strikers (next level games), Fire Emblem (intelligent systems), Paper Mario and Battalion Wars (Kuju) is done by independent groups using Nintendos license (at least I think so ). For me the best games are * arcade action like sport (so far from reality as possible thanks) * SRPG (turn based) * Turn based strategy (or actuly just CIV) * Plattform, big reason for why I am chosing Nintendo. I do think Mario is the best plattform "Hero"

It's nice to see software matters to you. Becuase that's what should matter. :P Nintendo does have a few good IPs today. But I think they were in their prime at the N64 launch. Battalion wars is the only one from that group you listed as 2nd party. (someone developing for mentioned brand) Battalion wars was fun. I bought it and had VERY high hopes. I played it for about 4 hours untill I realised it was such a task to keep your 'army' alive, that the only way to play it was to go out solo, 1 unit at a time. The AI in battalion wars was HORRIBLE for lack of better words. For your Arcade Action like sport - Motorstorm comes in as a sport because it's raceing. I'd say it's the best arcade feeling race game in 10 years. SRPG - There arent too many of these that are made today, but most of those that are made, come for the DS. Turn based strategy - Cant really think of any of those that I like... Platformers... I think Sony has a MUCH better game than any nintendo I have ever played. (3 months ago I would have said that would not happen. God of war, blew away my expectations. God of War2 is coming out soon... *drool*) Overall seeing the games that you would like, if your computer is capable of running this... http://egosoft.com Look into that game. Download the demo, and see if it works. That is one of the best games I have ever played. It's a cult game, that seems to grow like kudzu. I saw X2-The Threat's bencharking program. I was intreauged by it, and looked into the game. I found it for 20$. and bought it. That game made me... so happy. lol. And then 6 months later I knew X3 was comming so on launch day. (europe launch was like 2 weeks before US launch) I imported the Europe version... Two reasons. 1. I got it for 42$ (after shipping) 2. It was on 1 DVD instead of 4 CDs. 3. I still got it 3 days before it was released in america. :D X4 is kinda announced, and I am eagerly awaiting it to buy... gobble gobble I go. :P Please for gods sake, if you know how. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. They sell like 300,000 copies of the game. It's a great game, and you can buy it for 20-30$ today. If your even interested. It's worth it. They are one of the most successful small fry developers out there. (they dont get paid by a publisher to make the games. They make the games, and pay the publishers to publish their stuff) But seriously. If your into space sim/fighter/builder/RTS. This is the game for you.
