What do u mean "to become #1 again". They are #1. I think them having about 47% of the console sales proves it.

 

HD counts as one cosole. Didn't you know that?

 

I always thought it was everyone vs Nintendo. That would include all third parties and the PC as well, right?

 

 And celphones. Or perhaps they should count on Ninty side because they provide casual gaming? mmm...

I... I actually agree with him...

*prepares to be flamed*

He's got a point, guys! A lot of 'core' gamers say the exact same thing, just not all at the same time. In fact, it's those ten things that pretty much sum up my dislike of the Wii and this new Nintendo.

EDIT: You know what it reminds me of? Spider-Man 3. Spiderman goes all dark and lets power go to his head. He abandons the people who were his friends before, because he has better friends now. Eventually his new friends begin to hate him and he goes back to his old ones. Or something. Will that happen with Nintendo? I doubt it.

So you're a 'core' gamer?

No, I'm not a 'core' gamer, because I don't own a Wii.

Come to think of it, what am I doing in this thread?

Read and cry or laugh.

I choose laugh!

 

To save folks the time, a quick summary:

10) Miis are stupid. Nobody likes Miis, because they're lame. Avatars are totally cool, though.

9) New technology sucks. No one likes motion controls, or touch screens. Do what I'm telling you to do, and stick with the traditional controllers, like Sony Microsoft Sega(?).

8) Easy games are easy! Give me hard stuff, like that Castlevania game. Man, it'd be great if there were Castlevania games on Nintendo systems nowadays...

7) Ports are bad! No more ports! You don't see XBLA Classics, for instance, or downloadable PlayStation games. Have some dignity Nintendo, no one likes to pay for old stuff.

6) Exclusives are awesome, and Nintendo doesn't have them. Why can't they be more like the PS3 and 360? They totally have third-party exclusives up the wazoo and stuff.

5) You shouldn't let third parties make Wii games for you anymore. (Yes, they're really in this order).

4) Give us moar of your classic franchises. Your new stuff sucks. I want you to bring back your old series. Like Viewtiful Joe. That was my favorite Nintendo game ever, so much so that I know who the developer was.

3) Waah! Friend Codes suck! I don't wanna make friends in RL!

2) Casuals suck. why doesn't daddy luv me anymore...

1) Listen to your fanbase, by which I mean me. Pandering exclusively to us totally paid off in the GameCube era. Remember how you rose to heaven on our wings, and we totally didn't laugh at you, or call you kiddy back then? Yeah, those were good times...And now you think you're all special and stuff, just because people are buying your products in droves. If you'd just listened to me, you totally wouldn't still be sold out. Stupid Nintendo.

WHY WON'T YOU RETURN MY CALLS NINTENDO!!!!???

Wow! That's the best summary in the history of summaries!

Also, that GamersMark article is so funny now... too bad we can't leave comments on it.

 



Signature goes here!

Ninendo cares about money. Casual is more profitable then hardcore for them, though they are making a half-hearted attempt to keep their core base (an they have plenty of hardcore fans who will stupidly follow them and buy games like Zack and Wiki or de blob even if those game don't suit their taste because they need to "support 'hardcore' gaming on the Wii"

 

I prefer both Zack & Wiki and de Blob to every 360 game I own with the possible exception of Fable 2 (depends on my mood).

Are we sure this isn't a joke article? Well, I should say intentional joke, because the article itself is a joke regardless of the author's intentions.

 

I thought the same, isn't this a hardcore parody or something?

 

Anyway, I kinda agree with #3, but thinking about it, Nintendo games have never been too difficult since the Snes era. Mario World, A link to the Past etc were very easy games. Maybe we see them too easy now because we're now more experienced, but reading some posts in Amazon, there a lot of people having trouble with Galaxy.

I wish they were a bit more difficult though, for example, Mario Galaxy  had more Purple Coin Galaxies would had been excellent for me.
