Since when are people moving away from console gaming? Last I checked this generation is bigger and better than the last.


Bigger? Perhaps. Better. Certainly not.


Sounds like someone's got a case of the ol' nostalgia! But yeah I do agree past generations were more fun. 


Nostalgia? Not in the least. A good game will always be a good game.


I only partially agree. I think the really old games (like 8/16 bit) aged really well and are very playable, but I find it hard to play last gen (PS2/Xbox) games due to the now horribly outdated 3d graphics. That might just be me, I don't know. 

Outdated graphics don't bother me too much, especially when some last-gen games feature great art design, but outdated controls are a deal-breaker. Thankfully, this is rarely a problem with Nintendo titles. :)

No Team Ninja, we will not pay attention to your titles again. 



Sounds like marketing. Remember that Team Ninja is closely aligned with Nintendo. Otherwise, this doesn't make a lot of sense. The Japanese are happy with their handhelds because they commute with them and the rest of the world is happy with consoles. The Wii U might do well in Japan but it's not going to cut into the handheld market.

Team _____ is not deserving of the ninja title.

Yeah, I believe he's referring to Japan, since that's the only region where people have drifted away from consoles. And I fully agree: I believe WiiU will reinvigorate Japan's interest in console gaming.

Really?

I didn't think people weren't paying attention to console games.

I paid attention to Ninja Gaiden 2. But I refuse to pay attention to 3 as its utter crap.

To me, graphics don't get out of date. They are just different styles to me. I like variety and I like uniqueness. I like 8 bit styled games, 16 bit, 32 bit. It doesn't matter so long as it looks well made within its scope and its fun.

Its like with all of the indie games that are coming out now that use pixelated sprites. Its a style, not a date.

Good graphics are realitve. Most PS3 and 360 games look dull, boring and monotonous to me. Give me something like no more heroes or guilty gear. Something with life.

NOOOOOoooOO...NOOOooo

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I think my toilet is in range, but barely. So I can finally get rid of my iPad and do some hardcore gaming and shit.
