So, Nintendo making Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime, Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem, etc. isn't good enough they now have to prevent third party publishers (Ubisoft) from releasing games you don't approve of?

Of course. Bring back the dream team, and Nintendo seal of quality

Oh yes, this ridiculous seal of quality. Some people actually think that games with this seal were automatically good or at least decent, but all it meant was that the game was playtested and didn't suffer from extreme bugs like so many titles during the crash in the early '80s.

at least tomb raider wouldn't have been released for the wii if we still had it

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

can't wait till you are married, your gonna love when your wife brings home some stupid ass nicknacks or expensive shoes that only get worn like 1-2 times a year if that.

it is so hard to realize that woman buy more shit than guys and their tastes look rediculous to us. I believe its something like 80% of the spending power in the household is up to the mom/wife or woman in the family. Sure the income may be split 50/50 or 60/40 or whatever (men still typically make more) but the woman are the ones who have the spending power.

 

Hahah...That works only in US.

 

"because "nintendo only survived because of the hardcore fans" without "hardcore" gamers, games wouldn't exsist today, yet Nintendo being arogant like they are decided to only make casual crap and have forgotten the people who saved them. "hardcore" gamers fear that Sony and Microsoft will go bankrupt because they too will go the way of the casual games, and who will be left to save gaming once there are no more "hardcore" gamers?"

Last big game that is not casual on DS?Crhono cross.

Next big game that isin't casual on Ds?Gta Chinatown.Then what?

Last big game that is not casual on WII?Hmm...Next big game that isin't casual on WII?Conduit.

So what we "hardcore" gamers fear that companys like Nintendo stop making "hardcore" games.

And since it  is leading gaming company + games like in first post sell millions...

Last Nintendo's game was Wii music.

So what do you consider hardcore?  I bet there are people out there that play Animal Crossing more "hardcore" than you play any FPS game.

I guess the saying "Ignorance is Bliss" would help you cope with living.

So is that the best thing you can come up with to counter my point?

I have a new flash for you:
"Criminal916 is not the Center of the Universe"
I thought I should inform you of this breaking news.

Ok I answer with real thinkin.

So what do you consider hardcore?  I bet there are people out there that play Animal Crossing more "hardcore" than you play any FPS game.

First, I didin't bring "hardcore" here.

"because "nintendo only survived because of the hardcore fans" without "hardcore" gamers, games wouldn't exsist today, yet Nintendo being arogant like they are decided to only make casual crap and have forgotten the people who saved them. "hardcore" gamers fear that Sony and Microsoft will go bankrupt because they too will go the way of the casual games, and who will be left to save gaming once there are no more "hardcore" gamers?" "

Norlead said that.

But then,what I consider hardcore?

Hardcore is such a stupid word.But I would say "hardcore" is for users that have started gaming at Playstation or older system,have played games that really effect your life,games like Final Fantasys,Metal gear solid, if not Playstation brand,then games like Mario,Zelda and others.Its hard to say.But you should know.

Animal Crossing,playing hardcore?So you think that ammout of time played on game,then you are "hardcore" ?

Soo you play Animal Crossing 24h day then you are considered as a hardcore?

Please.

Don't blame me. I didn't bring "hardcore" into the conversation. It was HappySqurriel who brought the term up first. I just used it in a really lame argument.

3) Wii Sports is an extremely popular game, and while no-one cares if you like it or not, it could be considered rude to say that someone is not gamer because they like Wii Sports

Anyway, welcome to the site

 

What?  Who said something bad about Wii Sports?  I want to report them right now!!!

If we made a thread for every time a good game sold badly and a bad game sold well, the thread count on this forum would rise faster than the U.S. debt (if that's even possible).
