This doesn't need an argument. Nintendo sucks. It's just. . . lame.

Kirby is pink. Mario is a sterio type, with a moustache. DonkeyKong is a freakin' gorilla.

If you are complaining about the system war between Nintendo, Sony, and MS, you have to find a system that fits your needs. You want an entertainment system that plays DVDs and CDs and well as games? Go with X-Box/PS2. If you want fast processing times and a wide game selection, go with Gamecube. You want more multiplayer games? X-Box and Gamecube. It all depends. Frankly, I think Sony and MS have lost the 'game' experience. Looking real and sounding real isn't what video games are about in my opinion. Gameplay is what matters. Mario 64 is infinitely more fun to play with than Crash Bandicoot or Rachet or any other PS2 3D-cartoon adventures. Granted, if you like storylines and progressive playing ability (ie something that takes a while to build up skills RPG-wise), then maybe FF or something. I personally like Nintendo because it's easy to pick up, the games are addicting, and everyone can play. It's more about games than reality.

If that is what your looking for, don't get the X-box. You still have to buy some 70$ reciever/remote peice of crap for them to work in your X-box.

Can anybody explain to me why this matters? Okay, so you don't think Nintendo's/Sony's/Microsoft's/Apple's products are worth buying. So don't buy them. How, exactly, does it benefit you or anyone else to complain about them? Clearly there are some people to whom those products are valuable--they have multi-million-dollar market caps, after all--and what's wrong with that? Buy the products you derive the most enjoyment from, and let other people do likewise.

Ezactly. Play what you like. I already have said that I think good games have no systems. I'm a Big N junkie, but one of my favorite games ever is Katamari Damacy. And Kingdom Hearts. Power to not being system jingoists!

Yeah, you can buy a PS2 for movies, if oyu want it to completely screw up the system.

And Mega man Soccer...well, I've neve played it, but I definately would like to.(I mean, it's one of the few Nintendo-ish series I like. And don't give me any backfire stuff about spin-off games. If it works with the general formula, it's fine with me.)

I actually like Nintendo a lot. Although the GameCube wasn't a very good system (which is why I just sold it and shipped it off today... lol), the N64, SNES and NES were all very good systems with many great, now classic, games. GameBoy too has always been cool and the DS... as much as many might hate to admit it... actually has BETTER games as far as actual FUN is concerned in comparison to the (still cool) PSP.

GameCube wasn't very cool, but maybe the Nintendo Revolution will be better. If not, this will probably be the last console that Nintendo makes to compete with the likes of Sony and Nintendo... in fact, this whole "wand" controller thing is really just Nintendo trying to be innovative (like they always try to be) in the face of overwhelming competition. They know that they can't REALLY compete with Sony and Microsoft.

This gimmick, although probably cool, is not new to Nintendo. They have ALWAYS tried to be different. The N64 Controller (first analog controller), The Virtual Boy (although a failure), GameBoy (first handheld)... etc. etc. GameCube didn't really have anything to make it much of a change of pace from the others... it had less power and was kind of odd in design and in the end had very few good games... which is why it sucks(ed)...

Revolution has this new WAY of playing games not to mention the online service that will allow you to play pretty much ANY nintendo game from the past... on any of their old systems... and they are working on 3rd party title access from those old systems too...

In other words, I think Nintendo is pretty cool... they just can't really compete.

Can someone explain to me why the pet peeves thread matters?

Yeah, you've got to love Nintendo. Although their games are usually hit or miss: I mean, Mario Tennis is not a good game. And it was Nintendo that published two of the three worst games ever: Quest 64 and Superman 64. (Big Rigs, thankfully, had nothing to do with Nintendo.) But for every miss, there's a home run. It was Nintendo that thought of Animal Crossing. It was Nintendo that thought of WarioWare. It was Nintendo that thought of the DS. And even though it sucked, you have to hand the Virtual Boy to Nintendo: it was a great idea.

A proper Sony fanboy respects and honors Nintendo, no matter what they do.

Let's not forget that some of those "innovations" were pretty flippin' good ones, too. The level and development and involvement that we see in games today would mean nothing (and probably wouldn't exist) if there was no save system, the first of which appeared in--surprise--a Nintendo game. The fact that the games of today have as much depth and bredth as they do would be impossible if it wasn't possible to turn the game off and come back later, because huge, in-depth games would be impossible to finish in a single sitting. Best be thankful for that!

Though I do wonder a bit about that "first analogue" thing, just as a thought. I mean, joysticks are really old news... though maybe I'm getting terms mixed up.

There, now don't you feel better?

I dont care one way or the other, I dont hate Nintendo nor am I a fan of Nintendo(The same goes for the X-box and PS).

Hey now, we don't allow "not caring" here. You better take a side, or else!

Seriously, though, with regards to "innovations" that Nintendo has done. I think it's a shame nobody has mentioned ROB, the power pad, the zapper, and, of course, the power glove.

Those were some neat ideas. Had the games been there to support them, we would probably still have those as accessories on the Revolution.

The sad thing is, I remember one good power pad game, no good games for ROB, 2 good games for the Zapper and none for the power glove.

ROB still lives in cameos, at any rate. And if you really wanted a stretch, you could argue the case for the PowerPad being the inspiration for the DDR machine/mat.

I'm not sure how much ground it layed for DDR, but it DID come with "Danceaerobics", which was a dancing game...

Well, the zapper definitley was a cool idea (that was the gun thingy right? Like, that you could use for Duck Hunt?) I thought the power pad was a lame idea though, it was just...bleh. But, the Power GLOVE ruled.

Hey now, ROB was cool, it was My first robot.

ROB WAS cool. Like most of Nintendo's "gadgets" there just wasn't much use for him. What game did he have? Gyromite? I think that was about it, and that game was actually a lot easier if you just used the controller to move the columns.

I still think the Zapper was my favorite, mainly because of Duck Hunt. It was one of two games that my dad could/would play. I remember the day he got to Round 100 in "one duck" mode. I don't know if the game glitched (possible because he'd been playing for well over an hour) or if the level was intentionally unbeatable, but the ducks moved around the screen in what appeared to be some sort of quantum motion. The duck would be in one place, then quickly in another, without going through all the points in between; almost like they were teleporting.

Woah, he must be freakin' good then. I could only ever get to stage 63.

What's ROB?

_________________

ROB stands for Robotic Operating Buddy.

It was an interesting idea that just didn't pan out.

I like Nintendo. I just haven't cared for them recently, what with their mediocre game making. Why would you make a game based on a show from the Disney Channel? That game is doomed to be bad, and everybody here knows it.

That was probably a third-party game, yanno, and you never can tell what a third party's gonna do.

And I DID say the PowerPad/DDR thing was a stretch... And ROB was a pretty cute little robotic whatsamajiggit. Though I still sort of hate him for the evils he did unto me in Kirby's Dreamland 3. (Wherever ROB comes up, I will mention that game. It is written in the stone of the earth's creation!)
