Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Today I was going to announce that I hate Nintendo for taking my best gaming years away from me, but then I realized I could be bi-polar

I'm very happy with Nintendo at the moment but then I was happy with them as far as the Wii went too. The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles more than made up for the drought we experienced towards the end of the Wii's life imo.

The Wii was the first Nintendo console I've owned, I always favoured the PS1 over the N64, the PS2 over the Gamecube and the PSP over the DS. I also never had a NES or SNES because I owned a 48K Speccy at that time, contributing to the Crash of 84. But now I can see I've missed a shitload of quality gaming over the years. I've now got a 3DS, Wii and Wii U and will probably buy a PS4 when they release a Slim version but in the meantime I think I'm going to be happy just owning the Wii U.

No sane man can be mad at Nintendo!

Bloody hell, spurge! Your love/hate relationship with Nintendo never cease to astound me, ol' chap..! LOL

Mua? The only times I really hate Nintendo was for the dumb decisions they made, like releasing the Virtual Boy and causing the father of Game Boy to leave the company, pulling the stunt behind Sony's back for partnering Phillips for making the CDi that caused the birth of the Playstation and etc...

Unless it was the other way around.

I grew up with them (33 years old), but I've come to realize that they're not the innovative (new IP, software wise) company of the 80's that I grew up with. They're selling their products to families, not hard core gamers. They're more interested in the bottom line (cheap consoles) than gaming imo. So, without hate, or anything ridiculous like that, I've moved on.

I still have my NES and 70 glorious carts that I play all the time, but those days are gone and Nintendo isn't about that anymore.

I'm pretty sure that the NES was targeted at families.

People act like this is some new thing Nintendo is trying, but Nintendo has always tried to do a mix of hardcore and casual stuff.  Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party, Yoshi's Story, Kirby 64, etc.  It's not like Nintendo started courting casual gamers with the Wii U.

It becomes perfectly clear when you realize that the NES was basically called "Family Computer" in Japan. Nintendo wasn't trying to hide it, and honestly I don't think they should.

Yes, because we all know 3 year olds, 45 year old mothers and 70 year old grandmothers can beat Metroid and Zelda 2.
