For the first time in PAX East history, Nintendo won't attend

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> ah yes

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> i really missed an argument here didn't i

@gameroutlawzz well by the definition of fad, it would have went away already, it's more like pop culture, or more accurately, a trend

@b74kd3th @gameroutlawzz @neowarrior121 Dude, Ive played more FPS games than most people here ever did,youre not teaching me anything, COD is a fad.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> you can only get so much of an experience from platformers. Cod is popular because it's online component provides different experiences even though the games been rehashed to shit

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I dont consider the half-brained bro-dudes,story-fiend cinephiles,casuals and hardware whores who rather have pretty graffix and stories without ever mentioning the GAMEPLAY when playing video GAMES gamers anyway. This industry is truly at the bottom of the barrel and in a sad state since it went mainstream.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> The problem with Nintendo is that in the 90s we grew up with Mario, Zelda, DK , Star fox Pokemon etc. The kids growing up now have Call of Duty, Fifa and Battlefield.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Outside of a few marquis titles gaming itself is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Sales this generation vs last generation proves that there is a contraction in game and console sales.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I honestly think Nintendo needs to trim down production drastically and just focus on japan. They would be profitable this way.

What's silly is that you can't see what it has evolved into, and why it's a troubling thing.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >>

Then you aren't paying very much attention to the Indie scene, or maybe there are just not enough casual games in it that appeal to you. There is a real boon of creativity and artistry going on right now.

Nothing COD or Battlefield like though, so that crowd will of course, be disappointed.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >>What you guys are saying is kinda silly. The video game industry evolved.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> *Nintendo and the Indie scene. The day Nintendo goes away is the day I totally lose hope with what I always considered the best hobby ever created cause this industry is seriously in a sad state since the last few years. What we got nowadays outside of Nintendo and Indie devs arent video games anymore.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> the indie scene reminds me of the Atari days, a few good games with mostly trash being released

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> not if they are small profitable products like fitness bands, software.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I think they'll test the waters of this QoL platform and if it is a success, they'll shut down their video games industry and move off. Nintendo has a history of doing this.

<< LINK REMOVED >>

I'd like Nintendo to stay and the millions of bro casuals leave gaming and find another hobby to infect.

If gaming went back to a niche like it was in the 90's it would be better off.

The Indie scene is really the only thing left making things interesting.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I don't think that would be wise. Sony dabbles in everything from hardware to banking and they are hurting pretty bad. Nintendo branching out into untested territory could be rough.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I hope so.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I see them hosting a multitude of different products
