Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Seriously, Nintendo is not THAT Important

Anyway if you think an ethernet port is inovative, when previous consoles had online with the technology present (dial up) then....you don't know what innovation is.

So, putting a start and select button on a controller is innovation, but putting in an onboard network controller is not? if you say so.

Oh, and just so you know, Atari were the first to do that, too (reset was used to switch game modes, as any Atari owner will tell you), and would you look at those two weird red... oh whats the name of them.. the name printed in the actual manual? oh right.. Shoulder buttons.

Have fun being wrong.

This is older then the Atari 5200......

Nintendo's start + select button are something because every developer since has followed that controller layout. I'll admit it's not a big deal, but it's not trivial like a faster internet port.

Same with the shoulder buttons, and the 4 button layout on the right, and the d-pad, and pretty much the controller as a whole.

BTW I can see why you got banned before, you're very invasive. Instead of debating civily, you insist on being right on wrong. Have you seen me point out and tell you where you're wrong on everything you said? (which was a lot too).

BTW thinking of controllers, Sony did introduce pressure sensitive buttons on the PS2, or am I wrong about this too? I would give MS credit for the XBO controller as well, having rumble packs in the triggers, but Nintendo is still the leader here.

I think 50% agree, 50% don't. Half the comments I see agree with you, the other half just look at it as another Mario platformer.

Regardless, I'm sure you agree Nintendo could use some new IP's. XenoBlade was one of Wii's best games, and before that a Nintendo hasn't seen a new IP since Batallion Wars for Gamecube. I love Pikmin, and Animal Crossing has proven to be fruitful for the DS & 3DS. Nintendo needs to keep the creative ball rolling.

Nintendo definitely need some new IPs for Wii U, I do agree there.

Would you have Nintendo make something completely out of left field, or something specific?

Personally, I just want something new from Intelligent Systems.

Personally, I would like them to make an action adventure game along the lines of Uncharted.

Commercially, it probably makes more sense for them to make an FPS to compete with the likes of Halo and Destiny.

U might want to go back and do some research if u believe Nintendo didnt make any new ip between Battalion Wars and Xenoblade

They made Capatian Rainbow in Japan, and re-introduced Kid Icarus, but what did they make that was new? (I'm not counting DSI-ware games because I honestly don't know anything about them)

Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Wii Music, Disaster Day of Crisis, Hotel Dusk, Endless Ocean

Not sure why you're pasting the BK6, it had a power button and a play button everything else were sliders and a free rotation potentiometer, doesnt bring a single thing in repute of my post, but at least you tried *pat pat*

Dpad is right, 4 button layout on the right is stretch at best, shoulder buttons as i have clearly shown, nope, and the manual even reffered to them, in plain english as shoulder buttons.

PS2 had pressure sensitive buttons, which was new, but they werent all that great, or even useful.

I see you've gone the route of many a forumer who become aware that theyve been corrected and do not want to admit it, or feel theyre on the losing end of an argument, and instead try to divert focus towards the other posters low post count, often to label said user a noob, or a lesser user and contributer to the forum, but more often than not, and as is the case with you, to vocally hypothesize that the person youre in discussion with had been on the forums prior and been banned.

What it boils down to essentially, is that you made some brash, and ultimately, incorrect claims, I pointed out these mistakes and corrected you, in a civil manner, you got extremely defensive and have been so ever since, rather than simply saying "ah right, my bad" and contining the discussion in a civil manner yourself.

I am more than happy to list further innovations by all three manufacturers to debate in a more pleasant manner, It will however require that you take my hand, shake it and be done with this argument and progress henceforth in a more mature manner so we can have a proper discussion.

When i correct you, i do so for your own good, not to piss you off, please understand that.

Nintendo is THAT important because they are the last large publisher that insists on creating games of high quality. One by one other publishers are falling to the 'story driven' and 'emotion driven' drivel that the mindless consumer demands. Don't worry though, Nintendo will not be along in this form for much longer, soon the  true quality will be drowned out in an ocean of high polish, lowest common denominator bullshit that 'AAA' publishers are pushing, and quality gamemaking will be relageted to niche status and chased off onto the indy market.

I know most people don't give a shit and are eagerly lapping up the latest 'epic story' or  'hyper realistic' graphics that one of this turdfactories churn out, but I am saddened to see that making games is becoming less and less important while rolling out glitter and confetti gets you 'Game of the Year' awards and 9.9 on metacritic.

Fuck you all.

Thanks.

Wow, just wow. How dare people enjoy different games then you. We should all like the exact same type of thing! Then gaming will be awesome again! Jesus Christ, get off your high horse because this is disgusting to read. Some people like having great storytelling in addition to great gameplay. Who the hell are you to tell them what they should and shouldn't enjoy? Please grow up and realize that not everyone is going to have the same tastes as you. 

C-

How about you grow up and learn to not rely on a strawman argument?

Don't I at least deserve a B for calling you out on your attitude? I've read enough of your posts to know that you condemn storytelling in games and anybody who enjoys them. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

No, a C- is better than you deserve for your lack of reading comprehension.

I have never condemed storytelling in games, nor the people who enjoy it. I have just pointed out that in my opinion storytelling as an artform and videogames as a format is about as compatible as a moose and a bike and as a result to this day videogames have produced not one single worthwhile story, but rather an ocean of extremely mediocre story telling and equally mediocre game designs.

That is my OPINION, and has nothing to do with condemning anyone or anything or telling people what they should enjoy or do. I have long ago resign to what I see as a fact: That the videogame industry will colapse into a shadow of the movie and music industry. Meaning that craftmanship will be replaced by showmanship and glitz, the massmarket will bow down to and lap up the most inane drivel as long as the presentation and hype is strong enough (and yes, I consider story part of the presentation and not the substance).

It saddens me to see that the path is ireversable and it likely means that my 30 years as a videogame enthusiast will likely die with it, but I'm not some sort of moron who thinks that means people should do something they don't want to to facilitate my tastes. I don't condem people for listening to One Direction, I don't condem people for watching Avatar, and I don't condem people for playing The Last of Us. I just hold their tastes in low regard, that's all. Now if my opinion on this matter is offensive to your sensibilities: though cookies.

Right, I forgot about the Wii series, however I consider Wii Sport/Fit/Play/Music/Whatever one franchise. Disaster: Day of Crisis never localized here, and aren't the last 2 only published by Nintendo? That would be like calling Titanfall an MS IP.

Still, look what the Wii franchises did for Nintendo. That's 2 IP's in all of Wii's life, not bad, but now I want WiiU to see something.

People wouldn't take a Nintendo FPS seriously, and I bought Nintendo could produce something like Destiny. A FPS would be nice, but it would be niche. An Uncharted like game might make more sense financially, but basically you want something for the older crowd right?

Ha, you're a character, and you have an ego. Instead of admiting to be wrong, your taking the route of being "superior" and then you have the audacity to talk down to me. It's funny how when I correct you more then me, your the one who's always right......

A thumb button is not a shoulder button.......

Anyway I think this debate is over, you've already agreed Nintendo is an innovative leader, so I was right the whole time . Plus if you think things like an ethernet port is innovative, well.....you don't understand what that word means.
