Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo is doomed: Circa 1989

Pyro as Bill said:

Hey this video is pretty cool.  It really makes me feel old though.  I was eleven years old and I remember when my sisters and I got the "16 Bit" SNES system for Christmas of 1991.  Oh the memories :).

Hmmm...I wonder why it didn't repost the video?

It seems that in any decade, "hardcore gaming" has somehow been all about sexism.  They hate women's drinks, they hate women's games, they hate princesses, and they hate their own mothers.  However, they love blowing shit up, they love pretending they're God, they love punching doggies, and they love sperm.

Now I kind of feel weird for loving Robotron so much.

Wow. Didn't realize the levels of internet stuff pre-internet during NES days.

Nintendo has always had the core all pissed off.


In fairness, you can find similar posts about other companies (just like people post childish rants against Sony and Microsoft). 

The moral of the story here is that there will always be people who are elitist dicks; the internet just makes it easier for them to spread their retardation to the masses.  If the internet had come around in the 70's, we'd be reading similar articles about how Hardcore pinball players are, and how all videogames were for pussies.

The sperm gamer part really, really got me.



"About 30% of consumers are female," as the girl in the video plays with just one hand on top of the controller.

XD

LOL! Those posts are epic. :)

That's the glory of the internet. Your meltdowns will be laughed at for decades to come.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Three quick notes.

First, the Internet has always had pr0n.  Just in the old days it was binary files posted in several takes in alt.newsgroups that had to be specially downloaded and assembled.  Of course it was just still pictures.

Second, the competitors were superior to the Gameboy -- except in battery life and game play. Even then, Nintendo knew what most consumers wanted.

Third, the NES v. Genesis arguments were true. But it was an apples to oranges comparison, as the SNES proved.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I'm glad this was brought up. It's shown that video gamers were casual and that Nintendo has always been doomed. Can this entire concept of casual and hardcore die. It's just an illusion. The casuals of today are hardcore of the future.

Epic information.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Of course, the Genesis won the latter battle too.  High Definition gaming and Blast Processing!!!*

 

 

 

 

*Does anyone know what Blast Processing actually means?  Serious question.



Man, Nintendo's been through it all. Nothing has changed since those days. Everything is still the same. They will always be doomed.
