Forums - Nintendo - G4 Doesn’t Seem Too Excited For Nintendo’s E3 Presentation

Nintendo does deserve these barbs, because for the most part they are true. Nintendo doesn't generate a mature library, and before anyone gives me some argument that mature means shlock. Mature simply means a game that is made for adults to play, and that doesn't just equal out to gratuitous sex and violence. It applies to things like the contents of a story, or the way characters interact.

Nintendo created plenty of games for adults, games like Wii Fit probably are more "mature" than anything else, but what I'd like them to approach more is the darkness in one's soul, as I trust Nintendo to do that in a way that could result in sth truly special.

You actually have me feeling kind of sorry for you. Since you seem to think that all gaming should be is mindless fun rather then a full fledged medium like any other. By the way there are a lot of mature games that have little to no sex or graphic violence. The fact that you are buying into the notion that you can't have a mature game without those very things tells me one thing. Your the kind of person gamers have been fighting against for years. You know the guy who wants to label gamers as immature, stupid, and freakish. Since they are doing something that only small children are supposed to do. I am questioning your credentials as a gamer. You don't sound like one to me for damned sure.

They're just acting like a bunch of little girls since Spike has the exlcusive broadcasting rights to all three E3 presentations.

G4 still has Sony, but you are right, they're mad  because they lost the rights to Nintendo.

Wii fit does not appeal to serious gamers, bar exception cases. For the most part, Nintendo needs to (and will) up its game when it comes to games made for hobbyists in mind.

Now that kevin and adam are gone the only thing keeping G4 afloat is probably ninja warrior. Man will be akward if G4 runs into gametrailers and Adam's there

Save the drama for yo' mama, because she wants to hear it and I don't

Nowhere did I mention sex and violence, nor did I imply that this is necessary for a "mature" game; you will take note that I only spoke about narrative, and the place of narrative in the context of mature content, because "mature", according to your defintion, which is "made for adults", does not require narrative. Some of the best mature games in the medium - Journey, for one, or Another World, or Wii Fit, etc. - do not have much of a narrative to speak of. One of the strengths of the medium is its ability to convey an experience that lacks plot - or, if you want, a narrative that lacks the traditional structure and trapping of storytelling as defined in other media.

Nor do I think that all gaming should be "mindless fun", nor do I think that fun is mindless. Nor did I say these things. You are taking a conversation that didn't happen and are responding to it, and, you know, that's fine and all, but doing it in front of people and me and God and everybody, it's not kosher. We're not supposed to know about these scenarios that play out in your head. We all have imaginary arguments! The key thing is to make sure they stay imaginary.

You're free to continue to attempt to pigeon-hole "gamers" however you like, or to try to exclude people from your imaginary treehouse, but would you kindly only talk to me, specifically, about things that I've actually said?

Thanks

G4 is for posers, seriously I wanted to break the TV when I was watching it. Everything Nintendo is not cool, everything non-Nintendo is cool. It's really kindergarden shit.

Someone needs to make a meme picture for this sort of behavior. The whole:

*Looks at two posts*

*pretends they reflect the entire community*

That, for some reason, strikes me as a somewhat hipster meme.
