IT'S OVER NINTENDO JUST WON THE EVERYTHING

lol, oh the old "Nintendo is an evil corporate company boo-hoo" argument.

I don't see what the problem is. Yeah, it sucks that Nintendo makes assloads of coin by reselling the same franchises through reinvention of it's tried and true game mechanics (which, I could easily argue is actually a very good thing) but so what?

Seriously, who the fuck cares and why should they?

I, like many people, own many systems.

And I, like many people, play both new and innovative games and Zelda: Phantom Twilight Time Travelling Mystical Dildo Hunt: Return to the Past that was the Present but now it's Another Dimension: Mr. Tingle Edition Silver with gold-plated cartidge. No big deal. So long as there are other games out there with new franchises and gameplay why would anyone give a damn?

Unless (and this the only reason why, I could think Marcus is going apeshit) you're jealous because Nintendo can make assloads of coin doing what appears to be not much of anything, while you're sitting around with what you believe to be "hella-hella-brilliant" gameplay ideas and not a cent for them.

Or some kind of, vestigial playground rage because all the cool kids in school had a SNES and you were stuck with Sonic and Vectorman (<- go steal this game from Gamestop now!!)

hell yes i'm jealous but i'm equal parts angry that people tolerate this kind of nonsense in the entertainment business as a whole.  we pay so much attention to CELEBRITY A or DANCING YOUTUBE JERK B that these dumbfucks get rich and famous with absolutely zero talent or knowledge.  my parents raised me to work and you'll succeed and it would be great if all kids had this attitude but people like britney spears and tim buckley prove that all you have to do is find the right niche and whore yourself and fame and fortune will come.

in 1999 i drew in my school notebook, as a joke, a video game system you controlled via remote control because people would get too lazy to use their other fingers.  i can't help but think that if i had a sponsor and funding i could've beat nintendo to the punch and enjoy international fame like shigeru miyamoto whom i have a sneaking suspicion does absolutely nothing other than smoking pot and getting drunk while a team of writers wait eagerly with pen and paper in hand.

Herr Frederick, please stop saying "if you don't like it, don't buy it." I'm neutral on this whole issue (I honestly don't care who makes what game unless it means I have to shell out mad stacks,) s I'm posting just to tell you that that is not a legitimate argument and I am tired of hearing it.

Stop saying it!
Lol I stop saying it when they stop trolling Wii-Threads. I mean I don't go to a XBOX360 Thread and say :"The XBOX360 sucks dick because it is only about graphics" (Which isn't true)
Of course an XBOX360 Fanboy can post in Wii-Thread but they just shouldn't write that the wii is "5 dollars worth"
And why can't you just ignore those games? eh? The PS2 had a bunch of crap aswell but nobody cared about it. It's always the sam about Nintendo: "Nintendo games are for kids" "Nintendo forgot Hardcoregamers (stupidest word i have ever heard in my whole life)" "Nintendo is just remaking" "Nintendo is destroying gaming" I guess they are trying to say "Nintendo has no right to have a console which sells good (well it seems like it)"

Marcus here is a quote from you. I changed it a bit.
Hardcoregamer

^ that word should be banned.  no developer should be allowed to say it.

First off, look up "trolling" on wikipedia or something.

Second off, alright, but no one's going to take you seriously when you say it. I've seen this argument a billion times since coming here, and it's never actually meant anything or broken the stalemate in an argument. If someone thinks a game is shit, they're probably going to stop playing it anyway -- so why talk about it at all? Far as I can tell, it's so that other people won't have to make the same mistake, not because the reviewer thinks it makes him feel special.

(Bottom line: it's a stupid argument, please don't use it.)

if you did go into every xbox360 topic and post about how awful the failure rate is or go into a ps3 topic and talk about the overpriced tech that no developer has the money to make use for then i would completely understand and agree.

I think the fact that the DSi can also work as a mp3 player is enough to make me buy it. When it comes out. In 2009. ffuucckk.

And I could really care less about the camera cababilities. If I wanted a camera, I'd buy one from cannon, not nintendo. And yeah, the lack of a gba slot kinda sucks, but so what?
If your gba collection is so big that you still need a peripheral to play them, then just keep your old DS or go and buy a cheaper Gameboy SP at your nearest EB.

Downloadable content on your handheld? Fuck yes. Will it be harder to steal games now by loading the roms onto a flash card. Maybe yes, maybe no. Nintendo has a creative and clever Hardware staff, and I'm sure that with the DSi, they may have applied a various solution to how youve been stealing games.

Personally though, the original DS lite still has a time to go. Maybe not in Japan, but in america, its fine that it is not coming out too soon. Also, can somone tell me what the point of a fucking connector capable is? I thought we were past that ever since handhelds became WIRELESS.

The release date is next month in Japan.  Nintendo's handhelds are region free so I myself will probably buy one depending on how it handles this downloadable nintendo store game stuff.


But as far as piracy goes, IF IT IS EXECUTABLE IT CAN BE HACKED.  Let's start a betting pot right now.  I guarantee you guys (10$ down) that by January 1 2009 there will be a 3rd party program that lets you run regular DS games off the sd card.

you people get too angry about stupid shit

Really

I'm just happy that there are games coming out in the near future that interest me and that I can purchase.  Which was really the whole point of the thread.  =|
