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.  =|

that's all i took it as, Diss. Actually it was nice seeing you happy about something rather than spammypissed!

I have a deep love for an extremely wide array of games. And I also believe in free trade. Nintendo can do whatever the hell they want. They still own the rights to some of my very very very very favorite video game lines, and as long as people keep buying their shit, then they can keep milking them, right?

I mean, people stop buying the DSi = no more DSi's.
And more Wii's have sold than any other system. What does that say to them? Outdated hardware is OK as long as they are tapping a wide market with easy and friendly interfaces, games, and hardware.

Yay free market

So the niche demographic suffers. So what? There are still things around that cater to "hardcore gamers", and Nintendo continues to produce games for said set of people (Mario, Metroid, etc). Just because a business wants to expand and grow their profitability is no reason to get mad at it.

I mean, let's say ... Some guy walks up to you and says, "HOLY SHIT THAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE YOU GAVE ME YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER EATEN LEMME BUY A MILLION". So you sell him a million. And a bunch of other people catch on. Then you ALSO feel like selling Sugar cookies and Butterscotch cookies. Suddenly you've tapped nearly the entire cookie market. You're only one person so you have to stretch your efforts across all those different cookies. So the Chocolate Chip cookie people aren't getting QUITE as many of their favorite treats, but you're making more money.
Would you rather a.) make more money or b.) keep the original customers happy at the cost of making money?

except in nintendo's case their chocolate chip cookies are 50% cheaper than their competitors but taste like ass.  however, people keep buying their product because A) it is cheaper and B) the apologetic hardcore fans continue to support their favorite "brand name" in hopes they'll return to their classic roots of better tasting cookies.

but they never do and they continue to spit in the face of said fans but quietly release semi-related cookie products that are good but too far between.  instead of focusing on chocolate chip cookies, like they used to, they know focus on disgusting yet easier to digest flavors that no one who really appreciates cookies wants.

you see, it's like coffee.  starbucks isn't coffee; it's flavored sugarwater with caffeine.  when you see someone who orders a vente vanilla mocha swiss latte, you can safely say "yeah, that guy hates coffee."  nintendo is the starbucks of the gaming world: they once made REAL COFFEE for REAL COFFEE LOVERS but now they expanded to every street corner and sell flavored mudwater and call it coffee and expand to people that hate coffee.

this is nintendo.

and i've gotten completely lost in my metaphors.

rmxp.org is kind of like the toys r us of the internet rpg maker communities...

My biggest problem with the Wii is that third parties almost never know how to handle the system correctly, so you wind up with games that make the whole "wave your arms" thing feel even lamer than it sounds.* In terms of actual releases from Nintendo, there's definitely been a healthy portion of games that take a control scheme I've been using for two years and keep it fun, but the quality games in its library definitely run a little thinner due to outside developers being unfamiliar with how to best use motion-sensing stuff. Not enough to completely wipe my love for the system, though, 'cause when Nintendo's been doing it well lately they've been doing it really well.

*Well, that and the fact that their online games basically place you blindfolded in a box playing cards with strangers. Aside from a few DS titles, I don't think I could think of a Wi-Fi compatible game where you could actually communicate with the people you were up against, but now I'm off on a tangent.

No Nintendo is only allowed to make good games because they make games for us hardcoregamerzz!! :mad: [/sarcasm]
Seriously Nintendo can do what they want. We have metroid mario zelda and soon we will have a Trace Memory,Punch Out, Pikmin 3 and Zelda Wii. And like 7 other games
you can see in a post I made.
Isn't that enough?
My Brother and I made a Wii Watchlist and we have more than 30 games there (games which will be released 2008 and 2009)
And I can't buy them all because I don't have the money. And I think I wouldn't have enough time to play them all anyway.

Why is everyone going so apeshit over Nintendo? Sony's releasing crap and is continuing its legacy of treating their fanbase and 3rd party developers like a pile of watery ejaculate with stupidly expensive tech that doesn't work, is implemented poorly and is hard to code for.

PC developers treat their customers like potential thieves with DRM issues up the ass.

And Microsoft... Has probably done some bad shit too that I just can't remember or don't know about.

And y'know, I don't play most Nintendo games nowadays, but my younger sister is on that shit like white women on black dick. She plays Mario and Metroid games as much as I did when I was her age and all we had was the NES.

If you think Nintendo games are essentially the same games made years ago with new gimmicks then that's a valid opinion and you're right. But you can't come in here and say something sucks without proper reason as to why it sucks, cause then you just wind up sounding like a douchebag.

Nintendo games just don't appeal to me anymore, but instead of pissing and moaning like a little bitch I just go "oh, well I'm not really gonna play any of those" and get on with my life (making games, going to work, raping people and trolling RMXP).

no one has made a topic recently about xbawks or sony.  when someone does i'll gladly drop my two cents in about how sony makes systems that are near impossible to develop for and how microsoft refuses to use higher grade solder to keep their motherboard from melting.

you're just not hardcore enough for kid icarus.  you see, the scrolling screen that mysteriously kills you even though you know there's a platform 2 inches beneath it symbolizes TIME and how we can go forward but never back.  when you do try to go back in time you get lost in your memories which is symbolized by pitt losing a life.

KID ICARUS WAS DEEP

Er, they ARE making a new kid icarus.  It was confirmed like pikmin 3 was... "we're making it, but we don't have anything to show on it."

EDIT LOL

BIG FUCKING UPDATE

NO MORE HEROES 2 BITCHHs
