Nintendo is the only company that gets it

I've seena lot of wii hate and nitnendo hate on these forums, and I thought I should just set things straight: Nintendo is the only company that gets it! They're they only ones who are truly doing anything for gaming, by moving it forward. Nintendo has shifted its focus, while Sony and Microsoft lay by the wayside. How? Nintendo is now making games for everyone! Sony and Microsoft have long been in denial of the potential gaming markets they have not tapped into with their tedious, complicated games. Nintendo has found that it can make games for even toddlers, the mentally challenged, and the senile elderly.

Sony and Microsoft have forgotten what gaming is really about: Simple, mindless fun. Thats why nintendo is focusing on great games like wii music, while sony is too busy with their archaic "Little Big Planet" and MGS4, and microsoft, with their halo FPS or whatever.

And people who say the wii isn't an improvement in technology simple aren't paying attention. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a great example. It actually lets you point at the screen and shoot. You have to aim and everything and it even registers if you hit or miss. Never before have we seen anything like this! It uses quick time events where you have to waggle the wii mote in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations. In previous generations (and "current" gen systems) you would have to use button mashing or something like that. Nintendo is so innovative that it has completely changed the way we play our games.

Sony and Microsoft need to wake up. So what if the core gamers have little to no interest in the casual games that nintendo is making, they simply don't understand what gaming is about. Nintendo is pushing for innovation and expansion of the market. "Core" gamers just don't know what's good for them. If they don't get the future of gaming, then they're just going to have to be left behind.

Hint: This is satire.

That nintendo is not innovative, nor is it marketting to "everyone" and that nintendo's core gamers aren't nintendo's main focus anymore.

Also, that if this is really the "future" of gaming like some people say, that core gamers (despite claims of "expansion" of the market) are going to be left behind. By nintendo at least.

"Everyone" is almost a euphemism for "watered down."

If you're going to make a Wii bashing thread at least say something that hasn't been said a million times by numerous ignorant posters before you.

The only reason nintendo shifted its focus, is because it was neccesary to stay alive, when pushed into a corner, they came up with this, at the current console sales trend of nintendo's consoles, the Wii should have sold 10-15 million units had it been a regular console, people give them too much credit. 110million

Does that mean that nintendo is going to focus on the casual market from now on while sony and microsoft dominate the core market?

I woulden't know, I'm just pretty sure they changed their focus out of wanting to sell more consoles, over the care to push the industry forwards, since money comes first for every company. Nintendo itself says they've been innovating for so many years, but other then the DS, they've been pushing out the same thing as the competition for a long time, it took something like less and less console sales for them to change the way they did things. On the handheld front the story is different, but console wise I'm pretty sure thats the basic idea.

I completely agree with the DS. It truly is innovative.

It will be interesting to see what nintendo does NEXT generation, but at that point, I probably won't care anymore.

No, I just find it funny that every Wii bashing thread on this forum was either created by you, half of the thread's posts are by you, or both. Everyone knows your stance by now.

What is your goal? To stop people from buying the Wii? Well, you haven't accomplished that. To make Wii owners feel bad? Well, you've failed at that too.

My sarcasm meter is going beserk. Joke thread? organic_machine

Yeah, sort of.

I pretty much wanted to destroy the idea that nintendo is marketting to everyone now, the wii is innovative, or that wii controls are superior to what we've achieved in the last 20 something years. And maybe a bit more.

This is system wars. We are critical of gaming and gaming companies here.

My goal isn't to make wii owners regret their purchase, they can decide that for themselves. There are actually some pretty good games for the wii, in all honesty.

LOXO7

Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog was a low budget movie. Turns out, it was way better then most high budget movies.

Firefox was a low budget internet browser. Turns out, it was way better then the high budget Internet Explorer.

Hmm, seems quality isn't proportional to cost.

This is true, high budget games can suck, but they can also achieve higher production values when done right.

Nope, but I'd take Katamari 10 times out of 10 compared to Final Fantasy.

Your personal preferences have nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Also, uhm ... your ... avatar ...

The gameplay of Katamari Damacy was way better then Final Fantasy. The original poster I replyed to mocked the quality of low budget productions. I brought up several low budget productions that had better gameplay then higher budget production. Just because a low budget game can't match the spectacle and presentation of a higher budget games doesn't mean the lower budget game can't match and excede the gameplay.

And Final Fantasy 6 is my favorite Final Fantasy, so when I was looking for an avatar 4 years ago when I joined Gamespot, I went searching throught the pre-uploaded avatars, saw Locke on the first page, and just went with it.
