Forums - Gaming Discussion - Don't forget to say a BIG THANK YOU to Nintendo...

If you are going to say thank you, send a shout out to Ralph Baer. He is the inventor of home video games -- and patented the process for moving objects on a television screen. He invented what became the Magnavox Odyssey as well as Milton Bradley's handheld Simon and a lot of other toys and gadgets.

As for the OP -- Nintendo did make console motion controls accepted, so the waggle that some complained about 2-3 years ago is now coming to other consoles.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Don't you think their is enough hate against Nintendo? Why make a thread like this :(. This is a clever thread for trolling Nintendo :(.
