Forums - Gaming - Why Nintendo has ruined this gen for me

Nintendo may have introduced more people into gaming with the wii but they also seperated hardcore and casual gamers! :(

During the says of the ps2 I used to be able to play, socom, battlefrontII, timesplitters, crash nitro kart, wacky races and dbz boudaki all on the same system! It was great! However nowadays to play all of these types of games, I have to buy a minimum of two consoles! It's ridiculous :(

Also I think nintendo ruined this gen because just imagine how good super mario galaxy would look and play on the ps3! It'd be a  breathtaking experience. However due to the limitations of the wii we can only experience great games NOT excellent games from nintendo this gen...

 

BTW- I didn't label this thread as nintendo because I didn't wand hordes of nintendo fanboys running in, so please keep fanboyism to a minimum, thanks :)

In reponse to bold: No, the industry and industry controlled media did that, not Nintendo. Nintendo is bringing gamers together.

So basically your argument is Nintendo ruined this gen because they are releasing their own games on their own consoles.. DAMN THEM! Maybe I hate PS3 because Little Big Planet is on the PS3 and not the Wii and 360. Damn Sony for separating gamers! Also, MS ruined gaming because Halo 3 is on Xbox 360 and not PS3 and Wii.. DAMN THEM! Have you ever heard of exclusives?

The supidity of this post is simply baffling. I feel like I'm back at Gamepro.com.

Not a very good argument...

Graphics don't make a game excellent. Having SMG on the PS3 would not make it excellent. It doesn't need good graphics. I don't care about how detailed the game is. I don't want to see Mario's individual nose hairs.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

@Wyrdness, yeah your right, im just speaking from personal experience. My Wii only friends have got like one or two games (the WII sports and such) and they barely touch it. Most of my PS360 only friends play them things on a regular. (this is pretty much the same for anyone I ask outside my idmediate friends) YOu do have those people who have an HD system and dont play it. One of my homies is like that, barely touches his 360, I make my girl boot up her WII fit because I forked over the bread and Ill be damned if it dont get used.

Galaxy wouldn't work as well on PS3 as wii. The motion controls are what make the game fun and its a experiance than can't work on PS3. Also the whole casual and hardcore split it a dumb phrase. What makes the 360 and PS3 more hardcore than wii?


have you not noticed the slew of quality titles that are released on 360 and ps3 all the time?

Have you noticed about 2 or 3 of them are really original with unique concept?

Yep, reported. Theres plenty of unique content on the HD systems. Stop lying to yourself.

Until he becomes a multi-console owner (or a fellow console + PC gamer), he will never see the light. True story, as I was blind myself before. He's only hurting myself by not experiencing the joys of what the other developers can bring to your life.

Sorry? Don't treat me like if I were an ignorant! I own a PC and games like Half-Life, Diablo II and AOE series (all games)

I tried many games on the PS3 and, sorry, it's not every game that is my type.

So... because Galaxy is not on the PS3, Nintendo ruined this gen for you?

Let's blame Nintendo for being a market success and own the Mario IP while we're at it.

Lol at that info manipulation. We all understood what he was trying to say - Nintendo's (overpriced) casual console has been pwning the PS3 and 360 for 4 years. Sony and MS are now more focused on the casual market because Nintendo is swimming in money, that in my honest opinion, (now ignore my PS3 tag) they don't deserve... at all.

There's no way to know if we would be better or worse without the Wii. Unless you have a time machine, go back to 2006 and burn Nintendo's headquarters. If you have one, please PM me, I have no idea where I left my wallet D:

Oh boo-freakedy hoo.. What the hell is that ever supposed to mean "they don't deserve it"? What did they break into Fort Knox or something for their money?

Have you ever heard of a little saying called "the customer is always right?" Nintendo obviously did SOMETHING right or they wouldn't be swimming in money.

I can just as easilly flip that around and say Sony didn't deserve their success in the PS1 and PS2 days.. See how dumb that argument sounds now?

Btw, the whole casual thing doesn't exist. It's a myth created by the industry to try and categorize gamers and give an excuse for the Wii's success. It is stupid branding and nothing else. People conisdered the NES a "casual console" back then too.

Galaxy would not be enhanced on PS3 either, it would be exactly the same as Nintendo are the developer.

Gotta disagree on this point, bud.  With this logic, Super Nintendo games wouldn't look any better than they did on NES, or Wii games wouldn't look any better than Gamecube... er... wait... bad example.  

 

What I'm saying is, that Nintendo wouldn't limit what they could achieve with Mario to Wii code, if their console were in fact as powerful as a PS3.  Even the current Galaxy code alone would look better running on PS3 (think GOW Collection; silky smooth with no graphical hitches whatsoever and in 720p).

Of course it would look better, but does it really matter? The details in that game are still outstanding, sorry. It would be just about resolution and I'm fine with my 480p.

I'm sick of those dumb comments (Mezzzzhhh we got better gamezzzz than u on a regular basis)

What the hell are you talking about? The experience could be even better on the PS3. Online play, and downloadable content would make the game better. And casual and hardcore is not a dumb phrase. . Hardcore owners play thier systems alot, while as casual owners will casually play. Get it? its not that hard to understand. have you not seen how many hours people dump into games on the ps3 and 360? 

So? Does it make the system any worse?

Galaxy is fine with what it is. There is no absolute need to put online or DLC. This is NOT a standard, and some people need to get it.

 

And how on Earth can you report me for such little thing I said! Too sensible?

1.No one ever said it made the system any worse.

2.Galaxy is fine the way it is. But you said that the game would not worse as well on the PS3, and that is pure BS.

3.You are right, there is no need for DLC, but it extends the game even further, something that is not usually done on the WII. I was simply stating ways the game could be on the PS3.

4.I reported you because you stated that "2 or 3 of them are really original with unique concept". Really? Do i need to explain myself? That's trolling. Just in case you did not know.

How many of the same threads talking about the same subject are we going to have?

Too many. Too many Sony fans will come and bash a console they don't even own.

I noticed MS fans weren't coming that much. A sign.
