Could just be because they thought SotC was one of the most amazing and critically acclaimed unique games they've ever played and think that Nintendo could use another couple games like that.  Or no, it's probably all those things you guys are talking about.  y'know by this logic Nintendo should just go copy Angry Birds since that shits all over NSMB, but that'd be stupid because it wouldn't be the amazing game I assume you guys love to play.  Sales numbers or no there are some games that will be remembered for a really long time as the best that their generation had to offer, and why shouldn't Nintendo get another one of those?  Sure they have tons already, but does one more actually hurt them?  

I know this is a site dedicated to sales, but you guys do know that a game's quality isn't defined by it and you can have an amazing game that doesn't sell millions, right?  Or do you honestly believe everything you say about not bothering to make a game like the one that almost always makes it into top 10's for best games ever?  

I'm sure this all falls on deaf ears, and you'll continue to go on and on about sales while I try and talk about the quality of games. 

It truly is sad at how much Sony fans believe they know. Why exactly should Sony make a game like that? Because a bunch of Sony fans want something like that out of them, while the Ninty fans don't. So why should they please you over me, a loyal fan? You make absolutely no sense what so ever. It's like me asking for Sony to make games like Metriod even though I don't even support them. They make what their FANS want, not what some random internet dwellers want lol. I don't care what you think is quality, millions don't think so, so who cares about how much you like SOTC. Wow it truly is sad how much you guys try lol. Let it go, let Sony be Sony and Ninty be Ninty. I think Ninty has it right, those blue lines are the tallest on the front page for a reason. They have a massive fanbase to please, they don't waste time pleasing Sony fans lol. That's Sony's job. ;)

You are on the razor's edge of having a very bad time

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be served in the context of any given platform

Christ, I have a PS3 solely for the Last Guardian. That's not hyperbole; it's a true fact. It would make things so much simpler if the game were coming to the Wii U or the PC. Wanting more games on your platform of choice is not bad.

Are you threatning me? If not then maybe I miss understood. Is that game published by Sony? If so then why would you ask for it to be on the WiiU or PC. Fail. What I'm saying is Ninty doesn't need to waste time making bs for Sony fans, when they aren't even apart of Ninty's fanbase. It's like asking Ninty to change their strategy for a bunch of gamers that may not still buy their platforms. If you actually worked for a gaming company you would realize how stupid this all sounds.

My luck I pick the one person that doesn't recognize the South Park bit.

You really are taking every word I say as poorly as you possibly can.  I'm saying that they don't have a game that I'd call similar and is constantly brought up in the "are games art?" argument, not that they don't have a game as good as it.  And who even argued that Nintendo needed it, just that it's something they don't happen to have and could be better for its inclusion.  

And I didn't even insult Nintendo and you immediately jump on that to try and bring up your console of choice by bringing down mine.  It's like talking to a cult member.  Y'know I'm not a nintendo hater, but I can understand why your friends mentioned in your sig would badmouth Nintendo in your presence if you immediately jump to badmouthing other people's favorite companies.  Shit, you're making me want to just because your attitude is so infuriatingly one-sided and you seem to intentionally misconstrue everything to make it something worth getting defensive about.  Maybe they're not the issue.

I'm not your pal, friend.

mk, that out of the way.  I'm not arguing any of that crap, jeezus.  I am saying that Nintendo is not perfect, there is no game like SotC made by Nintendo, maybe that's because they don't give a little group like Team Ico total freedom to just screw around and maybe they should give it a shot.  I'm arguing that just because SotC doesn't sell amazing doesn't mean that Nintendo couldn't use a game like it.  

So to recap, I got into this because I'm so tired of people getting defensive the second someone says Nintendo might be able to work on something.  I swear it's like a religion.  The idea that Shigy isn't an infallible god just gets some people in a frenzy and it's terribly annoying to see.  SotC is an amazing game, Nintendo doesn't have a comparable game, maybe they could look into trying to make a team like team ico.  

I hope I'm not overstepping my place by inserting myself into this conversation.

I think there is a fundmental disagreement here between two sides. I had the same disagreement with happydolphin earlier in the thread.

One side, I believe, is arguing that Nintendo should invest in studios like Team Ico and games like Shadow of the Colossus.

The other side, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is arguing that it is unnecessary, because Nintendo's games are already as good or better than Colossus.

I think one side is looking at Shadow of the Colossus as a game with some special property that can be emulated.

And one side is looking at Shadow of the Colossus as simply a great game.

So therein lies this stalemate. I think each side is arguing a different point. On one hand, why borrow from Colossus is it's just a great game? Nintendo already has tons of great games. On the other hand, if there is something unique about Colossus' greatness, then that should be borrowed by Nintendo.

I hope what I wrote makes sense.

Yeah makes sense. See the problem is where to these people stop, i.e. is SotC the only game Nintendo should be looking to emulate?
