hey everybody! i cant explain to you guys how amazingly good it feels to be back! i know, i know.. all of you are wondering "who?" well, i cannot answer that question right now. that is a question that will be addressed and answered in a future thread in the "introduce yourself" section. it is a long convoluted story, but all any of you need to know now is that the mods are cool with it. but anyway, let's throw that all to the side for the moment and forget about all that shit. i am going to start off my FIRSTSST new post as my new identity with a BANG and do something fun! 

oh yes, it is a VGC classic.. a game we all know and love. ELIMINATION GAME!!!!!11!!!

ok, so we all know Nintendo is the best and deserves to be on top. but what reason is the reason of all reasons that they are the best? well, that is what we are going to be deciding here! come on down and get your say in while you can as to why nintendo is the best.

now let's get to the rules. i know, i know, rules suck, ill be the first to admit that rules suck, but we are going to need them for this. luckily for you guys, the rules are simple. You are allowed to vote once every three (3) hours, adding ONE plus (+) to whichever trait listed below that Nintendo has that makes them the best, and adding three (3) minuses (-) to whichever trait or traits that Nintendo doesn't need in order to still be the best. 

YOU CAN SPLIT UP MINUSES HOWEVER YOU WANT. 

If you don't have one plus and three minuses, your vote will not be counted. 

this will continue until we are left with the one defining reason that nintendo is the best.

9 - 1. Nintendo sells pure game machines without forcing expensive nongaming stuff on you.
6 - 2. Nintendo keeps development costs at a reasonable level. 
7 - 3. Nintendo's games are still worth something a year after you buy it. 
13 - 4. Nintendo doesn't sell you their games in pieces. 
9 - 5. Nintendo has the greatest customer service. 
11 - 6. Nintendo makes the most durable consoles. 
8 - 7. Nintendo doesn't charge you to play online.
9 - 8. Nintendo's games always have high quality and strong presentation, no matter what audience that they are geared towards.
10 - 9. Nintendo is the only true gaming company left making consoles. 
12 - 10. Mario, Metroid, Zelda 

ELIMINATED:

1. Nintendo has branched out to new gamers, young and old. 

Yeah real mystery...



Welcome back!

lol oh yeah..

you forgot to vote =]

I didn't know you, but with such nicknames you must be a cool guy haha. Also I love cats so, yeah.

Let me see if I got the game right:

My vote goes to 10.4. I could replay almost any Nintendo game and I will love it. I could have voted 8, 9 or 10 but I guess 8&9 points are debatable and last one is not enough for me.

I don't know what to do with the minuses. My vote should go to Don't charge for online as xbox and ps do, or whatever is more closed to that.

spurge you didnt read the rules very well. you have to vote one reason up and you can vote down other reasons. i have provided an example in the OP.

hey, nintendo not charging for online is a great reason as to why they are the best, i will include that :)

but unfortunately, i cannot add your vote unless you add one plus and three minueses =/

Bit off-topic, but you just remember me what happens to my New3DS today. I was playing on my house's balcony (first floor) and it slipped from my hands. More or less a... 5 meters fall. It's as good as new. So, Nintendo making durable and reliable consoles are one of the things I'm really loving about them right now lol.

lol, then cast your vote! i know its hard picking three things to vote down since nintendo is so great, but in order to narrow it down to 1, its just something we are going to have to do. nintendo having durable consoles is a very great reason that theyre the best though, i agree. 

11. (+)
9. (-)
1. (-)
6. (-)
