Well it plays 400 Nintendo games and 300 multiplatform games worse than on any other platform.

Remember when Oculus made people buy a specific piece of hardware to play its games? Remember the outrage? At least they play all other games as well.

So are you saying that Nintendo is milking consumers because its hardware is less powerful than the competition? And that it's also guilty of milking because Nintendo hardware is required to play Nintendo software?

Yes. Not only milking but also being bad for the environment. I mean do we really need to waste our precious rare minerals and pile on even more plastics because Nintendo refuses to just get it over with and go 3rd party? It really is sickening if you think about it.

EA and Activision

The big three aren't even close to the level of milking those two companies achieve.

If you add the price of the console just to play a few Nintendo games, then Nintendo.

You have to be severely dishonest with yourself if you think Nintendo milks consumers more than EA.

I find the way the handled the IP appalling.

I think they handle Pokemon quite well.

 

The battle system is more polished than ever, and Pokemon games are still a blast. Pokemon designs aren't become bland, and each game always has new things to offer.

 

 

Only thing I dislike is how they don't release many games besides Pokemon. Harmo Knight proved that they're capable of more than Pokemon

Great work chopping out the middle of the sentence, completely changing its meaning. Anything useful to contribute to this discussion?

What if Nintendo sold its games on dedicated hardware AND PC, like Microsoft? Would you forgive the carbon footprint and withdraw your claims of "milking" - which I guess by your definition means charging money for something you don't want to buy.

Nintendo. Only ones able to force you to buy a useless piece of plastic that plays their games and their games only. And their game prices never drop.

I'm pretty sure there is more than just Nintendo games on the Wii U. Also, in a way, you could argue that Sony does a similar thing because you need to buy a PlayStation system to play their exclusives.

Nintendo is charging extra money for things I DO want, their games. I don't know where you got that backwards.

I will forgive them AND Microsoft if they scrap their consoles altogether and release their games on both PC and PS4. That will certainly decrease the carbon footprint and make every gamer pretty happy.
