looking for that kind of fun and creativeness typical of some Nintendo games on other plats.

So far I thought about these games:


Little Big Planet

Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts

Stacking (?)

Kameo

Modnation Racers

3D Dot Game Heroes


any other suggestion?

thanks

Ratchet games are pretty solid 3D platformers if you can overlook the generic level design, they have a really good weapon system though.

You got most of the best right there, but none of them match the original of which they were cloned

Ratchet and Clank is pretty Nintendo-ish. Fable as well. Some other games that are Nintendo-ish would be Sonic, Megaman, the LEGO games, Patapon, and maybe Monster Hunter.

^ Bioshock 1 and 2, Red Dead, Half Life 2, Resident Evil 5, Resistance 1 2 3, Rage, Mass Effect 1 and 2...

And if they aren't shooters, they are photo realistic like Oblivion 4, Gran Turismo 5, Batman, Infamous, Assassins Creed, Heavy Rain...

They just tend to be slow paced, more simulation-ish and frankly more boring than your average Nintendo game. Hence why we are having issues trying to find "Nintendo" like games on PS3 or 360. If there is such a game, like Ratchet, then they lack Nintendo polish :/

Seriously. Where is SMG2's Lava World or TP's Ice Mansion in glorious 720p graphics. HD systems disappointed in that aspect.

what game has nintendo made that's like Fable? Fable is the opposite of any Nintendo game, it's got far too much prententious crap to be a nintendo like game . Truth is there aren't many, you could say the platforming Arcade games like Limbo/braid but i certainly don't think of nintendo when i play those games. Platformers on PS3 like rachet have always had their own identity. I don't know why people think shooters automatically equals hardcore ps3/360 gamers while anything that looks cute is nintendo like? it's not .Fact is Nintendo is Mario/zelda/kirby/metroid etc....why? because that's the only things nintendo makes...over and OVER again. The only games you would say are "nintendo-like" are The kniect/motion sports games that use these clumsy looking avatars and cute animals.

RareWare is the ONLY developer I can say have been ON PAR with Nintendo. They completely understood what the Nintendo factor meant/means.

You can't find these games anymore.

It's hard now to summarize what the "Nintendo factor" is synonymous within a minute. Actually thanks for the idea, I'm going to think about this.

The thing is that give me any N64 Rare game and I would have guessed Nintendo made it not knowing. That's that the N factor stands for.

I suppose you think anything in a game that fires a projectile is a shooter even if the shooting isn't its core gameplay. ''Link has arrows, Zelda is teh shooterz!''

I don't agree with your post at all. the HD twins are just crippled wannabe Pc's that bring less to no variety at all and heavily focus on shoooters. now tho the Wii has lots of crap in its lineup, it also got some great exclusives that resonate with the term gaming.

A few good exclusives don't save the wii from mediocrity. Also stop using PC in an anti Wii argument. Fact is PS3/360 offer a lot more variety of games in Quality and Quantity. opinions will be Opinions..so if we measure by Scores and Quantity the HD consoles make Wii look like Virtual Boy. If you single out Wii's exclusives as what resonates the term "gaming" then you're a Nintendo fanboy pure and simple.

This isn't the SNES days,Most of the best games this gen have come from the HD consoles, most of the big budget multiplats this gen are on the HD consoles and most of the ambitious and creative projects this gen are on HD consoles. Wii is an after thought for most 3rd party devs because they can have agroup of 6 people work on Last gen tech to make simplfied games for non gmaers and kids. the hardcore Nintendo fanbase only buys nintendo games on wii anyway. Wii is a secondary console for a reason.

I'm no fanboy. there is sure much more third party support for the HD consoles, but when it comes to exclusive titles, Nintendo shows how it's done. and the HD consoles are for the most part crippled Pc's for those who don't know how to double cliick an icon on Pc and start the game.

What has Nintendo done exactly apart from 2 outstanding Galaxy games on wii? TP was on GC and was vastley overrated to begin with, they've neglected Starfox and Pikmin and have created absolutely NOTHING.....NOTHING original that isn't for fat people and non gamers, Other M was pure Trash and Prime 3 while good is the worst Prime, Games like DK/Kirby were great, nothing amazing. they've rehashed games like NSMBWii, Mario Kart and Smash bros. They've released a bunch of GC games with Wiiplay controls. Apart from non gaming motion mini game bunanza they have a few good exclusives games from 3rd parties but again...there are many more from 3rd parties on the other consoles. Nintendo have always made great exclusives, does that make GC better than the PS2? Wii's library is the weakest. You can't tell me Nintendo make the best 1st party exclusives because that's been a known since gaming started. Their consoles have gotten progressively worst. Also for the love of god stop using PC's to defend the Wii. Double click an Icon and start the game? How can i even take you seriosuly with this bullcrap? If i want to talk like you i would.....look... I was thinking of taking my Xbox apart, Buy a new PSU, upgrading the RAM and GPU along with installing a crap load of new software just to test out performance levels of the game i'm playing. Oh it will cost me about $600 all of that..but wait i'm not happy, my monitor is only a 22" and is only 1920*1080..maybe i should invest in another monitor with higher resolution? damn...need a new fan, maybe shiney blue one that lights up! Oh and when i double click a game it doesn't load, comes up with this STEAM thing.

Plenty.

Unless if you're one of those "anything that scores below 9.0 is unplayable trash" type of gamers
