Nintendo = Quality over Quantity

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"]I guess they all play the same cause there's Mario in it?RyanShazam

Yes, All the Mains, the Karts, and the golfs involving Mario all oplay nearly identical, if you have to use the poor excuse f taking them side by side that's just sad.

those are still better games that what the ps3 and 360 offers.themagicbum9720

Is that why Wii U sucks?

SMG and SMG2 are SM64 in space.:lol:

They are strucutred differently compared to that game.SMG and SMG2 are not as open as SM64 and it's usually impossible to get stars besides the hidden ones earlier than you are suspose in the levels that are in SMG and SMG2.

It isn't enough. Nintendo has NOT produced enough quality on the console space at all in the past 9 years. 

The handhelds have been fantastic, for sure. But its like their console games are becoming stripped down versions of older entries in great franchises over and over again. Pikmin 3 looks like the first Nintendo game in FOREVER that actually looks like a step forward from what came before it and not some streamlined linear BS. 

Sure, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 were arguably the two best mario games .. well.. ever. But they were good DESPITE their streamlined linear nature, not because of it. I think if you asked many people "what would you like to see the next WiiU Mario game be like? A mario 64 successor, or another mario galaxy game" Most would choose a Mario 64 style game. Which I think says a lot. Nintendo just needs to expand its games .. Make BIGGER games, MOVE FORWARD FOR ****S SAKE.

I think he's referring to HD collections, but they were filler titles and never marquee releases. The wind waker port is currently the only exclusive scheduled to release this fall on wii-u. The lack of game announcements is embarrassing....MFDOOM1983

It's clear you don't keep up with their announcements. If anything is a problem, it's their announcements of release dates, not the games.

Nintendo games only appeal to the nostalgic fanboys here, not the outside world.

Don't let these sheep fool you, many people will buy a Mario game. Play it for 1 hour and never play it again.

I'd love to see statistics on how many people actually beat SMG 1 or 2 that owned a Wii, it'd be hilarious :lol:

GD1551, I really have to ask, did someone at Nintendo do something bad to you or your family?  Not even joking, this is a serious question.

You seem like a smart enough guy, but then you attack Nintendo every time you get a chance.  That would be fine, except you always speak from misinformation and a lack of knowledge.  On the rare occasions that you do have facts in your arguments they are always skewed.  You will quickly brush off any positives, but focus on the most minute aspects of any negative.  Bias is one thing, but you are just over the top.

Usually this is just a sign of trolling, but you are far too heavily invested in your disdain for Nintendo for it to be something as simple as that.  Somebody at Nintendo did something terrible to you.  I know this may be a bit too personal, but if you don't mind me asking, what is it that they did?

sandbox3d

Nintendo deserves the hate, the sold out and they SUCK.

It's finally biting them in the *** so I'm happy about that.

That's sheep argument right there. If i'm simply not into platformers, more half that list doesn't apply to me. Your definition of variety is one version of a platformer vs another version of a platformer. They're still platformers.

Uhh, buddy.  I hate to break it to you, but there can be plenty of variety from one platformer to the next.

Thing is though.  There are 45 games in that list.  Only 9 of which are platformers.  4 of them 3d platformers.  The rest 2d.  The only ones that are dangerously samey are the NSMB titles.

This is not a sheep argument.  This is me being logical and pointing out a fact.

The list is full of variety.  Dont like it?  Cool.

You're still wrong.

Edit: And btw.  What you're into has no bearing on the variety or lack there of in that list.  This has nothing to do with your personal opinion.

Nintendo = Quantity X Low Quality

FragTycoon

Yeah, they only put out some of the highest rated games every gen consistently.  As well as dozens of other respectable scoring games.

41 mario games got released since the start of last gen (last gen titles discounting wii u), and people are moaning that AC and CoD are being milked :P

im sorry but ninty need to try something new regardless of the sheeps thoughts on this.Let mario go on hiatus for a couple years.

Oh this argument never gets old, well, in truth, yes it does - in most cases, quality is in the eye of the beholder:P

I really don't understand why so many people on this board despise the fact that Mario is such a popular character.

Nintendo has this huge variation of games and series.  They all play differently.  Most of them are of at least a decent quality.  Some of them are good, even great!

The quality is there, but Nintendo also has brand power and Mario is the face of that.  Why wouldn't you use that to help boost sales of your games?

If Sony or MS had a character even half as popular as Mario you would see them doing the same thing.  Hell, Sony already tried and failed on quite a few occasions because they believed they had iconic characters.

Nintendo has something that these other guys don't and they use it to their advantage.  This is a dedicated gaming company going up against two behemoths.  They're doing exactly what they should be doing.

sandbox3d

Really guys, why is this so hard to understand?

Its just a name.  If 41 actual Mario games came out then yes, holy sh*t, they would need to stop.  But that is not the case.

These are all games that for the most part play very differently.  Most of which are in completely different genres.  Its just a brand.

I see quality myself.

If I remember correctly quality isn't judged based on how many games were put out from the same franchise.

Don't tell me you have not heard of gamers who completely avoid one genre completely. Like rpgs for example. There are jrpgs, wrpgs, action rpgs, MMO rpgs etc. etc. You can even break the wrpg genre down further into a dungeon's & dragons rpg as well. All these different sub-genres of rpgs have variety and play differently from one another. Despite that, there ARE gamers who just say that they don't play rpg games because say.....it's too time consuming.

The same applies to any other genre. The debate isn't about whether one type of platformer varies in gameplay from another type of platformer. The question is, IF i'm not into platformers, then what else does it have to offer?

its still basically raping the IP, on a Star Wars level.

Because its different genre's nintendo do not deserve a free pass for relying on mario to sell games all the time.

You just mad because Mario is the mascot of gaming. Mario is an icon that will live forever. There's nothing wrong with having him on different genres.

Granted for several sheep, it's really annoying that Mario takes all the attention even when Nintendo does something completely new, but still...

Nintendo ruin Mario with their over use.

Mario and Zelda would have been like special events if they didn't milk them. That's how they should be.
