The DC Wacky Races game was actually rather good... it even has a Gamerankings score of 84%.

Well, in all fairness, at least Nintendo fans have someone worth defending.

You're a fair and relevant poster, the most you post, the more I see that.

I don't know who is responsible for the miscommunication (or that there even was one) but I don't think Jaffe got the point and likely wouldn't have even if it was conveyed properly.

Everything I've heard/read about Miyamoto makes me think that he was genuinely looking at the mechanics of the game and asking the question not as a means to ridicule but as part of his design process where he looks at the basic concept for what it is.

On the other hand Jaffe has pretty much always been an elitist prick who simply doesn't care what others think of him. Its just his style and it has worked for him thus far. I point this out because I don't think it would matter to Jaffe if the quote was in or out of context, he would have said the same thing either way. I pretty much expect him to lash out at any comment about his games that isn't a blatant praise.....but for a lot of people thats part of his charm.

In truth there is nothing to see here. Its pretty much par for the course on both counts, Miyamoto says something deep yet cryptic and Jaffe gives a chuckle and lashes out. Really I don't care if they become pen pals or butt buddies, so long as they both keep making games for me to play

PS - yes I posted this in the other thread too 

"I have both systems, and I can see that no sane person could judge the PSP's actual library superior to the DS's library..."

Right, because it's entirely impossible for someone to hate using a stylus and just not find the kind of games that come out on the DS unappealing?

"The issue is, he's not JUST up-playing the sony products, he's passive-agressively flaming Sony's biggest rival, Nintendo. What's worse, he's attempting to make his opinion seem unbiased and relevant, in an attempt to give it more creedance, and since he's a developer of a famous games, it DOES give him more creedance, than that of the average fanboy. The press loves him, because he's one of the few publishers who will give them the time of day, and again, their anti-Nintendo biased goals(believe in them or not) are furthered with every word that comes out of Jaffe's mouth..."

Anti-Nintendo bias in the gaming press?  You must be joking?  You're overly defensive over NOTHING.  There is no Anti-Nintendo bias.  You're imagining an enemy that doesn't exist.

"This pissed off Nintendo fans, to no end, who feel that Miyamoto is, of course, the best developer of all time(which can be backed up with facts, but I digress)"

Oh?  I beg you to back up a matter which is entirely subjective with facts.  I really want to see you do something that Western Philosophy has thought impossible for 3000 years.  This would be quite the breakthrough!

"Then again, maybe I'm taking things too seriously."

Oh, just a tad. 

This just means I'm not filling my daily quota of Wii-bashing.  I'll get on that right away. 

Mustn't let the soccer moms get too comfy after all.
