They are video game making veterans, have the most recognizable characters in the industry,.......................????

Denial. That's how I almost went through an entire generation with just the N64 but once I got a PS1 I never went back. :lol:

supporting just one system does not work, you are missing out no matter the system. and it applies to all 3 consoles and pc.

You want to know what I think it is? Nintendo games can be fun for years at a time. I get on here and see people getting bored of games on the 360 and PS3 less than a month after they release, and after 4-5 months, those same games have a larger grouping of people that hate those games than people who love them (like what happened with Skyrim). The other fanbases are so obsessed with the up and coming games, are so preoccupies with owning the latest upgrades to a series, that they can never have fun with the games they already own. There are people who have played every major game for their systems, but today don't own nearly half of the games they had bought because they grew bored of amazing games.

It seems that Nintendo fans can appreciate Nintendo's games for a much longer period than the cows and lems can. I myself still play my Nintendo 64 more than my Wii or 360. Nintendo games are amazing pieces of software that are so simple, people can have fun with them for years at a time without becoming boring. That's something the the Xbox and Playstation don't have, at least not yet.

I would have gone this entire gen without another console other than the Wii if I hadn't found Fallout and Elder Scrolls last year (by "discover", I mean actually like them. I've known about them for years.)

While I'm not Nintendo only I could be. There are alot of games for the Wii that many are not aware of. The kiddy image that most have keep them from actually looking for those games.

Sticking to a Nintendo console ONLY is impossible. Going WITHOUT a Nintendo console is also impossible.charizard1605

I agree with this.

Really Atari?

Even if you dislike Nintendo, there is no doubting that they have been in the video game business for far longer then Sony or Microsoft. And the simple fact remains that they outlasted their competaries like Sega, SNK, and Atari and are still making video game systems.

So yes, they are veterans in the video game industry.

And yes, they have some of the most recognizable characters in the industry. I'm willing to bet more people know who Mario and Donkey Kong are then Kratos, Nathan Drake, and any other character that you care to name.

About the only characters that might be close to Mario level in terms of regocination is Sonic, and Pac-Man

Its not a stretch to claim that Mario is more well-known then anyone Sony or Microsoft have to offer.

But there's tons of third party support on the DS and Wii

Oh sure, it's not in the form of CoD clones, and action games, but there's tons of it regardless.

Tons of JRPGs, tons of side scrollers, lots of platformers, and adventure titles, and even strategy games.

It just depends on how swayed you are by advertising. If you need others to make up your mind for you on what to buy then the 360 and PS3 were the obvious choice because they get the very mainstream/casual spotlight.

i lost respect for nintendo ever since gamecube era releasing weaker hardware than competitor and not supporting the modem they released for gamecube. nintendo didnt even make games for the modem they released for gamecube bunch of goddamn idiots.CrymeAriver

The Gamecube was more powerful then the PS2 and was very close to the Xbox in terms of power. When RE4 got ported to the PS2, several graphical features had to be toned down due to the PS2's hardware being weaker then the Gamecube.

As for the modem, I do agree with you on this. Nintendo missed out on a big chance to take Mario Kart, F-Zero, and Kirby Air Ride online during that generation.

They have a cult like dedication to Nintendo and refuse to join the modern world by deniyin things like online and HD and just about everything else. Nintendo has great games no doubt, but I honestly don't think they try to push the industry forward very much.

But the Wii U might change that direction.

They could release a mario game online cooperative game where one player plays as mario and other as luigi. nintendo are stupid.CrymeAriver

You go tell em, you brilliant game designer, you! :)Clearly you have a full design doc there, just ready for production. Tell those noobs at Nintendo how to make some games.

On topic, I never could. Then again I'm not a Nintendo ONLY fan. The last time I was content with just a Ninty console was the NES. I could have gone with an SNES and no Genesis and been fine, but it still would have sucked. Trying to be Ninty only after that would have just been awful.

Yeah, I don't know how they do it either, I mean I love Nintendo, but majority of my playing time comes from Sony and Microsoft.

mario 3 you can play as luigi and mario in the bonus levels that was fun as **** playing 2 player never understand why they never created a mario game letting lugi and mario play together like that.CrymeAriver

Yeah I never understood why they never created NSMBWii either... oh.

Actually it is.

Pro-tip. Play games. THEN talk about them.
