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.

THIS. This effect never fails to amaze me. Games are actually incredibly easy once you learn the logic behind them. the only games that aren't are the one that usually require you spend hours redoing the same level over and over in order to memorize all the timing involved.

I actually ended up skipping the Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons games for the Gameboy color, and now that I've had a chance to play them, they're challenging, but I still have only died about 2 times total due to getting lazy about keeping potion backups. (I will admit that they're far more challenging than Phantom Hourglass ever was though) Going back and playing Link to the Past is a walk in the park, so are Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Just for kicks, I recently beat Super Mario world in roughly 10 minutes, using the star warp points. I can't do THAT with Mario Galaxy. He was comparing that to the Shines in Mario Sunshine? Didn't people HATE that game?



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

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!!!!???

This is by far your best post EVER, absolutely EPIC WIN. I have nothing I could possibly add to this thread. =)

Am I an idiot but Nintendo IS NUMBER ONE, no one is even close WII is selling double PS3 and 360 and the DS is cleaning the PSP's clock again 2 to one. He may want to get his head out of his A@# before he gives advise.



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

I agree with the online part and that's about it. Otherwise Nintendo, even this generation, has given us the best games. It's just unfortunately people always want more haha. So they are number one as a developer still as no one can match Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Metroid Prime 3. No other developers has released that many good games already. So they are still my number 1 haha.
