If you had played Metroid Prime, you wouldn't make such a claim. Are you German?

Pwahahaha, rightyo if that's how you saw reality unfolding. You compared two games of probably the most shallow genre, and then ran away when I mentioned things like SotC, Ico, Flower, Journey, Heavy Rain etc. Those games are far more involved, mature, emotionally gripping than any Nintendo game. But apparently, SSBB is the peak depth of gaming.

...and you're clealry taking the piss. I played it years ago, was very unimpressed (specailly as it came out at the same time as HL2 and Halo 2), and to make such a comparison means you are obviously not serious. No, I'm not German...why do you even ask?

Journey and Heavy Rain are terrible examples. The former hardly has any content and both of them hardly has any gameplay, the latter being full of QTE.

It's a perfect example because he was emphasizing the mood of the game versus the gameplay. He wanted to show that Nintendo didn't have games like that (relatively speaking).

It is very obvious. You can use both hands for popcorn all the time, rather than just the half with the cutscenes.

I wanted my games to be great at their core, not full of distractions that covered up for an unpolished/unbalanced game. You might say that good gameplay and good graphics are not mutually exclusive and you would be right for saying this. That's why I switched to Nintendo who have the highest batting average when it comes to making games like that.

Press X to Jason does not constitute mature or emotionally gripping in my book. Heavy Rain was probably the funniest game I played this generation, but not for the right reasons.
