I won't give up on Nintendo because I have no reason to. I love their games.

I have long given up on 3rd parties concerning Nintendo though.

I started gaming in the pre-Nintendo era. However, Nintendo was my favorite console maker in the 8bit and 16bit times. I bought a PS instead of a N64 games it had great fighting games, great racing games, and Sqaure. Additionally, the games were less expensive and the PS played CDs. I still enjoyed playing Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64, but they weren't worth buying an entire system for.

That said, I think Nintendo's games on DS and Wii are tend to be far more fun than most games on competing systems. In other words, I'm back in Nintendo's camp because the company makes amazing games!

Well, this generation is the first generation where my primary console has been a non-Nintendo console, and that honor goes to the 360. I got a PS2 a few years after it came out, but primarily purchased and played games on the GC... I'd say it was about 60/40 split between the two going by my game library.

Never really gave up on Nintendo, though there's been several times over the past decade where I had felt they had given up on their fans.

I didn't.

I gave up on Nintendo decades ago when they were a pathetic company making cards........yes I have been there....for I am the....


HIGHLANDER!!!






On a more serious note, I haven't given up on Nintendo as a gaming company, for they have always been serious about creating games that give me a smile . Other game companies would push my mind to think (like Kojima and his MGS games), allow me to daydream about adventures (like the Dragon Quest and FF games) or ponder about love and friendships (like Kingdom Heart games), but Nintendo will always give me a smile and pure joy in their games....always.


Besides, Shigsy is just a creative genius! It's like he's in my mind or something....he just knows what to make to make me happy....creepy I know...

I don't know if i'd say give up exactly but close. I'd say N64.

Yah, I feel Nintendo is to redundant not making many new IP's. Always will love a few Nintendo properties, but they rely on the proven. What makes them money. To me inovation rulz, capatilism should not be the ultimate motivater. Try some thing new. Still Sony and Microsoft are not immune to this by far. 360 rulz 2 was converted to microsoft by coop campaign in halo: combat evolved. Never will enjoy a non coop shooter as much again. to bad, oh well.

in 2299 when my conciousness was downloaded to a mechanical body... my new bio mechanical brain just gets bored by playing games for human like reflexes...
Besides that I had a great 320 years of gaming with them (a nod to the competitor GHFDS that did manage to stay in the game for 25 years against Nintendo, a new record in the 2180s).

Correct me if I'm wrong,but so far,no one has said they gave up on nintendo and never came back?Short answer
:I pretty much was a neutral gamer until I realised that almost all the games I had really,really,enjoyed,those that left permanent marks in my memory,were N-games.I realised taht a couple of years ago & became a Nintendo gamer.Of course,I still play everything else.

I left because of the gamecube. Came back because of the DS. :p
