Wow, Nintendo: Burn in hell.

Any one who just watched their E3 press conference most likely feels the same way I do about Nintendo. If you feel differently, you're probably gay.

I've been a loyal follower of Nintendo since the SNES days: I stuck with them as their once glorious video game empire was nearly demolished at the hands of Sony and Microsoft. I would often be upset that none of my friends had even heard or played the latest and greatest games from Nintendo on the N64 and Gamecube. But now that they've managed to climb back to the top, I couldn't despise them any more. They've completely lost touch with the gamers who supported them when no one else would. They've abandoned GOOD game design for the easy, lucrative route.

Since when was motion control an excuse for coding absolute horseshit games? Wii Music, what the fuck is up with that? Just because you're playing on a wiimote, it's no excuse for a total shambles of a game which doesn't really resemble a proper game at all. From what I could tell, all you do is mash buttons and wave your hands around and the game just vaguely interprets your motions as an 'action' and plays music for you. If a game like this was made on a traditional gamepad, and instead of waving the remote you wiggled the stick randomly while mashing buttons willy-nilly, it'd be laughed at and no one in their right mind would buy it. Seriously, what the fuck.

In a 1 hour 20 minute conference, I spent 5 minutes watching faggots smiling while playing games (not actually seeing any games). I spent 10 minutes listening to the Ninty CEO talk about a 'paradigm shift' in the market (Read: Ability to now sell total horse shit for $$$), and 15-20 minutes looking at graphs showing how the Wii and DS have sold so much better than their rivals.

Wow this is just a huge rant, but I'm sure there are some fellow poker players here who are also enthusiastic gamers who probably share my frustration and dismay at how fucking gay Nintendo are being these days. I'm not even begging for the tried and true 'big 3' games ie. Mario, Zelda, or Metroid. I'd be perfectly happy with a brand new Pikmin game or SOMETHING that resembles a FUN fucking GAME to play. Something that can't be done in real life, and that uses the Wii Mote in a SMART way.

I can pick up a fucking music instrument, go outside and play sport, or hell I can even play Guitar Hero and have a way better musical game experience than with fucking Wii Music. Seriously I'll just randmoly mash my keyboard now ej;lfkwafewa;fjewfe;ajflwafeas;jlk and wii music would interpret that as playing a song. Now I'll pick my keyboard up and strum it like a guitar while listening to some Metallica, kmLKhu;l/mjk'kihn ';j;olm j;m,0o[p,llo./; k, p,p mk mj mj ml km, WOW I basically just experienced what it's like to play Wii Music, and I heard something cooler than I'd hear if I actually was playing Wii Music.

Best game of all time.

Behold: Wii Music in all its glory.

Microsoft conferences was much better . Xbox 360 is good .

loyal to nintendo?
wtf what's next? ordering dead sonic the hedgehog t-shirts?

i dont care about any waste of time gaming so my opinion is worthless here but i dont understand how anyone can get angry over a game company not making the type of games they like. do you really feel theyve wronged u and they owe u for supporting them when no one else would, LOL wtf? this is business, if they did that theyd be busto. sure this game looks rubbish to u or me but i can bet u its gonna sell a ton of copies and make nintendo a lot of money. they're a business, thats what theyre trying to do. if u dont like it dont buy it wtf

This.

Getting Final Fantasy on the 360 is pretty much the best news ever.

I don't understand your post at all. I think the Wii is great and has some awesome titles. The vast majority of game titles on all consoles aren't very good. There are a few games however that excel and become classics that everyone enjoys. This is completely normal. It's the same as how there are a whole bunch of average/good films that come out every year but only a few great ones.

I own the following and am very satisfied with them;
Super Mario Galaxy
Tiger Woods Golf
Blazing Angels, Squadrons of WWII (Plane Game FTW)
Mario Kart
Mario Party 8
Call of Duty 3

It honestly sounds like your just pissed off that you went to some lame ass conference and didn't get to see anything cool.

O_O

LOL this is so true :


A new Zelda? No
A new Mario Bros.? No
A new Contra? No
A kiddie version of Rock Band? YES!

EPIC FAIL NINTENDO!

Also, they have WiiSpeak, a $30 microphone for use with the Animal Crossing game! It better be a damn good microphone . http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/ni...speak-microphone-for-animal-crossing/

I don't like ps3 at all.... no new games which is good, even the old games haven't got amazing graphics. Saying that, 360 is not great either.

this is business

THIS IS MADNESS

i'm with ket

ket is glorious

THIS IS KET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol at the geeks offended by a company with a sick Pr campaign and marketing strategy. If you could make billions from something like Wii you'd snap call.

As a gamer the Wii is annoying piece of shit cuz i'm old school. But if i don't like it i won't buy it. simple shit.

I have no idea what kind of a retard consumer would be "loyal" to a company. SPECIALLY when competition is doing better!!

I mean what da fuck is wrong matter with some people?
Shouldnt the world be the other way round?

nintendo sux wtf are you expecting
nintendo is for kids not for gamers

Wii Music looks like a (Epic fail)³ version of Rock Band

ket ur a moron I will gladly rape you at sc2
