It is pretty fun to see the Nintendo fanboys act like 10 year olds just because someone actually doesn't like the Wii. I got news for all of you, I have spent more money on Nintendo products than most of you will in your lives. So you can take that "I hate Nintendo" crap and shove it. I was there from the NES until now buying EVERYONE of their systems. Most of you probably have probably owned like 2-3 of their systems. If you are under 25 or have only owned a handful of systems your opinion means exactly nothing. You can spout all the useless insults you want it doesn't change the fact that Nintendo has changed to a sell a lot of crap for high profit to anyone on the street kind of company.

I'm 29 and have been gaming since I was (about) 4 on the Colecovision, PC, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, GBA, Nintendo DS, Genesis, Playstation, PS2 and XBox 360 and I haven't really noticed Nintendo selling "A lot of crap for high profit to anyone on the street" ...

Up until mid 2008 Nintendo had maintained the fastest rate of releasing their highest quality games that I have ever seen from Nintendo ... After all, within 18 months of releasing the Wii Nintendo had released The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Super Mario Galaxy which are Nintendo's 4 strongest home console games and they found time to release other core franchises like Fire Emblem, Super Paper Mario, Battalion Wars 2, and Metroid Prime 3. When you consider that it took Microsoft 2 years to release Halo 3 and it will take over 3 years for Sony to release Gran Turismo 5, Nintendo has been very speedy about releasing their core franchises.

Now, Nintendo has only released 4 games with aggregate review scores of (roughly) 90% or more and Sony has done so much better by releasing 1 in the same time frame ... Microsoft has done an amazing job and released 5 with a year extra on the market and with 3 of those games being developed by third party developers.

What are you talking about Super Mario Galaxy is more hardcore than Halo 3.

 

 

Really? Why?

 

 

Because we have this fat guy going around the unverise trying to get stars and save this girl. He fights a gaint lizard kills animals. The game was so violent they took out the blood and his gun so they had to think of another way of killing them so they gave him the ability to jump on them.

Reality check. Your the one acting immature. You have something against other people getting into gaming.

I have something against people that have no business getting into gaming trying to get into gaming. Kind of like a fat person that wants to play sports. It just doesn't work that way.

 

Who are you to tell other what they can and can't do?

It has nothing to do with telling them what to do or not do, it has to do with what they shouldn't do. Good example, I quit WoW after Blizzard screwed up the entire game by taking every difficult part of the game out so they could get more subscribers. That is why Everquest never had as many subscribers as WoW even though it was a far superior game. They kept the game difficult to be good at so the quality wouldn't turn into crap just like WoW has now.

It's the same thing.

Superior is subjective, having played neither I can't comment.

difficult=/=good

Difficult does not always equal good, that is true, but easy means completely pointless and a waste of time and 0 fun.

First off, review scores mean diddly squat as to if a game is good or not. I have seen great games get bad reviews and crap games get great reviews. Secondly, just go to Walmart or Gamestop and check out the Wii section for about 5 minutes. See how many completely worthless games you can count and how many great games you can count. Let me help you, the ratio is about 100 to 1 in favor of the crap games.

I agree with the OT, but minus 25%. I mean, what? wait..hold on.
SOME core games sell on the Wii, and some core games that *deserve* to sell don't. Whereas on the 360 and PS3 good games sell, and bad games don't.

"I have something against people that have no business getting into gaming trying to get into gaming."

I think that says everything we need to know about you.

Yeah, and some people think that killing other people is no big deal. That doesn't make it any less wrong.

Did you even read the entire thread? People actually said that I hate Nintendo directly. And yes, I am 29 years old, even though I don't have to prove anything to you. I was born in 1979, I have no reason to lie. Lying on the internet is for pedophiles, morons and generally insignificant people.

 

I read the thread. There are alot of replys you've ignored and simply chosen to behave as though the only reply's were "you hate nintendo!".



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Yeah, it means that gaming is NOT for everyone even though that is what Nintendo wants everyone to think. Just like sports are not for everyone, and school is not for everyone, and reading is not for everyone...
