Can't believe the Nintendo hate on this board

I think it has more to do with Nintendo not catering enough to the hardcore fanbase. Perhaps that will change at this years e3.

The hardcore guys are mad that others are getting to enjoy what was their hobby. Not to mention the fact the Wii beats the competition in sales.

well us system warriors are hardly the target audience of the Wii.

I suppose the could spawn some heft amounts of hate.

I for one always get turned off when I look at the store shelves and find that the most interesting games are SMG and a bunch of ports from last gen.

Edit: SMG does however look awesome.

Believe it, most of the graphics whores, 2 gen gamers and insecure gamers cant stomach the idea of playing the Wii or its kiddy games :roll:

But w./e, their loss I suppose.

Nintendo caters fine to its core base, its been doing the same damn thing for three generations now. The so called hardcore "abandoned" the N64 and Gamecube. Now Nintendo are branching out as well as producing the same content they always do, the hardcore cry foul. Nintendo isnt "your" comapny any more. You need to face the fact they have always produced accessable games, they have always had a younger demographic than sony, and its the third parties that are lacking, not Nintendo themselves.

("you" isnt necessarily aimed at you, sorry, Im just sick of the "Nintendo isnt catering to the hardcore fanbase anymore" crap)

I wouldnt get your hopes up for E3 beyond Pikmin 3 and Sin & Punishment 2.

They deserve all the hate they get (this gen).

What's up with the recent Sheep-Defense fprce threads? Every console get bashed for whatever reason.

The Wii gets bashed way more than the 360 or PS3.

Guess the sheep have snapped :P

I think I can honestly say the PS3 hate overshadows the Wii hate. Of course, it doesn't halp the wii much when threads like these are created.

the point is

if nintendo would have made another 360/ps3 rip off nobody would have cared and they probably would have gone the way of sega

Idk, considering many dont ever try to mention the Wii in these parts, and cows seem to run rampant, thats debatable, atleast in my opinion.

Yep, these threads dont help the Wii at all, but try telling that to EpiphonMan2008 :P

Fact: Game by game, ignorign stuff like Wii Music, the Nintendo lineup for the Wii is better than the GCs one.

Oh my god, that is not a fact. The Wii's first party line up pales in comparison to the cube.

Nintendo isn't "Hardcore" enough for System Wars. A game needs to be filled with ridiculous amounts of gore, and brown and bloom graphics for SW to be seen playing it. Anything else would just seem too kiddy. Overcompensating and ignoring any game that seems too bright and fun is the only way to game for a hardcore gamer such as myself!LittleHands134

I have a feeling your sarcasm is going to be lost on quite a few people here.

You mistake Nintendo Wii hate with generic Nintendo hate. I love my NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube games. But I despise my Wii.

the point is

if nintendo would have made another 360/ps3 rip off nobody would have cared and they probably would have gone the way of sega

farnham

This is very true. I don't really like the wii or it's motion controls, but I can't fault Nintendo for their strategy.

P.S. I also own a ds, which I love, so I in no way hate Nintendo, just not keen on the wii.

No, it does not.What do you see in the cube that isn't for the Wii? 2 Metroids instead of one? (because the generation is not over btw,). But anyway, when its so called fanbase labels stuff like Excitebots as "shovelware" that's to be expected. And about 2009 E3, I don't need the attention of some corporate publicity man in order to feel happy and enjoy the games.

Nintendo fans: What is this, its not Zelda!OMG, Nintendo abandoned us!

[QUOTE="Ziek-AAT"]why is that..? nintendo has brought out every hardcore franchise on the GC to the wii as well.. plus they have made a slew of totally new IPs.. the wii lineup is strongter then the GC lineup by a longshot

Has nothing to do with other people enjoying it, its the fact that theyre lacking in things that make me enjoy it. which didnt use to be the case.

Time to move on, just like nintendo during the 1990's, there are consoles out there that cater to the older crowd, nintendo has never been one of them, You grow up, nintendo stays the same...understand?

i dont know there are a lot of adult gamers that love nintendo..

but yes.. nintendo tends to cater to a younger crowd then lets say GTA

Nintendo is doing fine to cater to core gamers this year. Excitebots, Punchout!!, Fire Emblem DS have already been released. Sin and Punishment 2, Tact of Magic and Dynamic Slash are on their way. Motion+ seems promising, they just need to announce one major first party game at E3 now. SMR-Venom

Its pretty understandable when people make provocative threads like this.

Why? The Punch Outs are one of the best games ever made, and finally, after like 20 years, we have a new entry. Excitebots its ace, one the best off the best arcade racers this gen.

L4D, SF4, DaW2, Re5... you know what they have in common? they are all PC games, I don't need a Ps3/360 to play those. Punch Out and Excite Truck on the other hand... Also: Punch Out and Excite Truck are excellent games, and pure consoles experiences. What i want off a console, unique experiences. Also, Madworld, HoDT:OK and the flawed but ambitious and unique Deadly Creatures... (since you are now including third parties).

They have developed more AAA games than any other company in history. The DS is awesome and the Wii offers something different. Do we really need another console like 360 and PS3? 98.5 % of the games on those two consoles are exactly the same multiplats. I thinks its partially that people are upset that the Wii is much more successful than their favorite consoles. longprocess

i think it's more toward the Wii, not their other consoles (the DS is amazing). it's just that most people on these forums are hardcore gamers, and the Wii doesn't offer much to us. i'm sure if these boards were full of casuals, it would be the other way around.

[QUOTE="SMR-Venom"][QUOTE="thegoldenpoo"] I agree, compare that to the likes of L4D, P.o.p. SF4, DaW2, Empire total war or RE5 you see the other systems all have had better stuff this year PC360Wii

The hardcore guys are mad that others are getting to enjoy what was their hobby.

The thing is others are enjoying it at the expense of us.

They have developed more AAA games than any other company in history.

Has nothing to do with Wii, which has the least AAA games. N64 is my favorite console of all time but Wii might be one of the worst, and I do have one.

The DS is awesome and the Wii offers something different.

PSP is better in my opinion and Wii's "different" offering is lame as hell imo.

Do we really need another console like 360 and PS3? 98.5 % of the games on those two consoles are exactly the same multiplats.

You'd be right except for the fact that atleast 40% of PS3's games these days are exclusive and you won't be able to find on a 360, check out 2008,2009,2010 PS3 lineup and there's way too many exclusives to choose from.

I thinks its partially that people are upset that the Wii is much more successful than their favorite consoles.

I don't care at all about sales, I care about games, and Wii has about 2-3 that are worth the money.

I don't hate the Wii, I'm just apathetic to it's existence.

It's because it's had a very poor line up this generation compared to ther other systems, and now it hasn't had a really good game in over a year, it's pathetic. I might have been a nintendo fanboy at one point, but I'm giving up on their non handheld systems.

The have probably developed the most AAA children games. Not my kind of games

the wii sure did shake up the industry..

but who is blameworthy..?

Nintendo that skyrocketed from last place to first

Microsoft that got a lot of JRPG, western thirdparty support topping even the support the PS2 got and not being able to outsell the wii anywhere.. and still lagging behind in japan..

or Sony that slipped to last place because of pure arrogance..

i mean seriously.. Nintendo did made mistakes this gen but compare them to the competitors and they look like geniuses
