[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Charizard changing his opinions (suddenly) on Nintendo again. Why am I not surprised?nintendoboy16
When did I change my opinion this time? Let me paraphrase in case there is any mistake:a) The Wii U has been handled like shit. I have never once stated otherwise
b) The Wii U has a great upcoming lineup of exclusive games
c) The exclusive games, while great, look undeniably safe, and yes, iterative of Wii and 3DS games
d) The creative spark that defined Nintendo was last seen in, let me be clear, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Three years ago.
e) Their handheld games are fine, and are not included in this discussion
Now thics is all stuff I have been saying since January. Where have I changed my opinion, abruptly or otherwise, and how in the world is all of that exclusive of each other?
a) True that, but even if it does lose the race, who's to say it won't build up in some way? It may not be like this forever even if the shipment numbers from last quarter were awful.b) Says the man who refers to DKCR: Tropical Freeze as a rehash, but thinks Metroid should be a top priority, nevermind Retro having already done THREE games that two of which could be argued as a rehash
c and d) Ironic how, again, you criticize DKCR and SM3DW for playing it safe and calling them a rehash, and yet, YOU'RE whiteknighting SMG2, which again ALSO can be argued as such. As great a game as it is, it still played and looked the same as SMG1 (to the point that Miyamoto admitted that all it was is just lost ideas they didn't fit in), other than the fact that it had different power ups, new levels and Yoshi. By that logic, this is the real Starcraft II, not this.
e) If their handheld games are "fine" explain to me why EVEN POKEMON gets this sort of criticism?
a) Good? I never said it would be like this forever. I specifically criticize them for how they have handled the Wii UÂ this far.
b), c), and d) I don't know, I think you are laboring under the misconception that I am calling Donkey Kong or Mario 3D World rehashes, or that I think they are safe because they are franchise games. Let me establish this (again) as clearly as I can (again): I have two f*cks to give that Mario 3D World is the 89th Mario Game, or that Tropical Freeze is the 163rd Donkey Kong game. I sincerely could not care less. I'm not one of System Wars' 'NEW IP!!!1!' brigade. I care about what the game brings to the table. Tropical Freeze and 3D World bring nothing to the table that I don't already have. One is an iterative Wii game, the other is an iterative 3DS game. Again, do I deny the games will be great? No, in fact I specifically and explicitly outline as much every time I mention those games, including in the post you originally quoted.
Which is, incidentally, why I don't seem to care about Retro doing a new Metroid or EAD doing Galaxy 2. Because every Metroid Prime game brought something new to the table. Galaxy 2 brought something new to the table. You know what isn't bringing anything new to the table? The Wii U lineup from Nintendo except for W101 and X.
e) It doesn't? Not from me? When have I ever criticized Pokemon?
So, um, I don't know what it was that you were trying to say man, but looks like you called me out for nothing :?
    This seems appropriate.
