1. Nintendo games - "When, oh when, will Nintendo go third party?" That's the thinly disguised port-begging that pops up all the time. What pushes this entry to the top of the list is not just the frequency or the expressions coming from common fanboys, like "Nintendo is holding their games hostage. It's really anti-consumer when you think about it.", but the fact that this narrative is also pushed by people in the video game industry.

Naughty Dog cofounder and former THQ president: "It is a crime that we do not play those games on the systems that we have."

No other instance of port-begging runs so deep and it's all the more inexcusable when Nintendo is nowhere near as in a dire state as Sega was when they were forced to go third party.

 

Dang it! I was so excited to be able to one up you on something and mention this, but then I scrolled away from the OP. My dreams were forever crushed, thrown into the wind.



I'm guilty of the monster hunter one. :(



This all sounds about right, out of curiosity, can anyone who was about at the time say if there was much complaining about all of Capcom's once-GCN exclusives, particularly RE4?



so whats next top 8 most obnoxious instances of remake-begging?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

The reverse of the Nintendo games point also applies: porting games to a Nintendo console. When the Wii U isn't included, it's like "OMGWTFWIIUHASENOUGHPOWERSCALINGGRAPHICSENGINES", lol... Though, I am guilty of saying that of certain titles on other systems myself... :P
