[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]From my perspective, console gaming is indeed evolving into PC gaming. Fanboys keep saying that PC gaming is dying, but it is console gaming that is actually dying. With every generation, consoles are becoming more and more like PCs. The Wii is the last true gaming console in my opinion.Hexagon_777

Couldn't agree more. No multi-media bull Just plain games! Like the old days :)

People really know how to exaggerate. Its not the end of the world. Miyamoto still confirmed that the Mario and Zelda team is working on a sequel for the hardcore.

Kids playing any game rests 1000% on the parents..

The included features that are already implemented on the system gives the parent some piece of mind, but that goes without saying they/we still need to be parents. I have an 8 and 6 year old....and I will take it one step further....they will not play games as "I See fit"...I don't care what the rating is on the game cover...being an avid gamer myself.... I will make the determination on what is acceptable for my children...

When I hear kids playing GTA.....COD..it makes me want to jump thought the mic and slap the crap out of the parents..

WOW...I really, really, really hope you are not a parent..

[QUOTE="jonnyt61"]Your whole post shows exactly -why- fans were pissed.

They completely abandoned the core gamer, in favor of non-gamers, so they could rake even more money.
They've already been selling the console for way more than it actually costs, not to mention new peripherals becoming a common thing.

Basically, they've abandoned the people who kept them afloat the last two generations, for a mass market appeal.

if they compleatly abandoned us, then why did they bother with brawl and metroid...you can't say that mostly casuals bought that.

yes, they have strayed a bit from the hardcore gamer and seem to have had there idea of hardcore screwed up "we have teh hardcore, we got animal crossing!" aside...nintendo hasen't pushed us out, they just got a bump on the head and let in our cuter little brother.

more publications then just gaming ones were at the event, and nintendo should games that appealed largly to those that dont play games.
with sucks suky causal titles like wii sports, wii music, that dikhead on the drums, they enforce the fun in the wii for people who dont usually game.
this will= more sales for them as publications glorify nintendos neat (gimmicky) new products (like wii fit last year)
As a gamer u could be pissed, but as a buisnessman i think it was a good move, they are targeting the userbase of the wii.
Which i believe are not mostly hardcore gamers but becoming more and more casualized.
so say wat u want about nintendo, but they know how to do buisness.

Bingo! Unfortunately people always want to blame others, including our government.

Honestly if parent's would spend even half the time disiplining their children that they do complaining about mature content law's there wouldn't be as big of a problem.

I agree, unfortunately some in this thread fail to understand that simple concept.

I mean I understand it becomes harder with everyone getting high tech stuff that allows you to connect to anything you want to at any given time, but parenting was never easy so learn to adapt to the new times.
