Wha?! Justify yourself.

EDIT: I see your response. The very ignorant excuse that PS3 and 360 are just fun to look at and nothing else.

I feel like I'm back in 2007. It's silly to think that Epic, Kojima Productions, or Naughty Dog making their games look excellent has made the gameplay. Not sure where you're pulling that from.

That's nice :)

Pfft...

No matter how many memories of awesome sauce are brought back by playing remakes or the like...I'll never play the wii, even if my parents get one...i refuse to go SD now that i've recently officially gone true HD...

Glad YOU enjoyed it though, have fun.

i do! otherwise i wouldnt post

Nintendo is also my reason for gaming. I remember the excitement and awe that I felt when I played my first Mario platformer. I still feel that way when a new one comes out. Long live Nintendo!

Nintendo as a whole definitely does more for gaming than any other company out there. They've consistently churned out great games throughout the year, ever year, for the last 2 decades. And they're always on the frontier of gaming, setting standards for gaming today (Donkey Kong, Mario 64, Goldeneye, Wii Sports, etc), instead of waiting for OTHER companies to take the risks, staying in a money-making comfort zone that is "HD". Plus, their customer service is top notch. NO OTHER GAMING CORPORATION has done what Nintendo has, not Kojima Productions, Sony, Microsoft, Capcom, or anybody else. It's not just about the nostalgia. It's because Nintendo IS about gaming. Nothing else.

I'd say dido to what B.L. said. I feel for him, even though I don't have a family of my own yet. And while saying this, I'm not to bad mouth 360 and PS3 owners/fanboys. But for the gamers out their who don't understand this, try to see yourself as an age 30-40 induvidual who lost his/her favourite interest/past-time for an inivetable reason what life hits you and making you think that you will never get that chance ever to have that joy (when you were young) again... And then an oppertunity aproaches that can and will rekindled your past-time, but also to share it others you thought that would be impossible and in the process brightens that dark space that's been eating you up inside...

yeah... lot's of spelling mistakes, but bare with me.

You saying "hardcore" gamers suffer from a Diva complex?

This attitude prooves you are a True Gamer.

No, Bong Lover is right. Let's look at the history of gaming briefly:

Nintendo revived a dying market in the 1980's. They introduced controller standards that are still used to this day, albeit in modified forms. They introduced the concept of portable gaming consoles. They have constantly innovated controls, even with the current DS and Wii. Nintendo knows how to make people feel young, and in a good way.

Sony has... well... been the big catalyst of the current industry problem. Sega started the arms race with the Genesis, but they knew enough to keep substance. Sony saw that by throwing away said substance, they can make it even prettier! Reviewers loved this; it made their jobs easier, thus, the higher scores. (This also explains the current low scores for Wii games- they actually have to play the games with an effort!) And this rush to graphics has spiraled out of control, making games too hard to profit off of. This is Sony's legacy, down to the huge losses on the current PS3.

Microsoft only did 1 major contribution to gaming, and that was mastering console gaming online. Sure, the Dreamcast was first, but it didn't take off for consoles until XBox with Live. Otherwise, Microsoft has also been around the least amount of time in gaming, so it's harder for them to make more of an actual legacy, though their current direction doesn't indicate that they will...
