That's not his argument at all. No need to turn this into a "Nintendo is abandoning the core gamer". He is talking about Nintendo ruining the industry by not striving for his own "cultured" artistic ideals. You can't honestly tell me Super Mario 64 would qualify under that, can you? If he honestly responds and agrees that Super Mario Sunshine has the "artistic merit" he was speaking of then an argument could be made that this is moreso about the Wii's shift from Nintendo's older style. |
Ya, Mario 64 does have artistic qualities. Most games do. Even COD: World at War does. Art doesnt have to be Okami. Art can be a 3 year old making her first finger painting or for a 5 year old a brush painting.
