Well, this made me smile... Look at Reggie completely lost for words.

Awesome I didn't know Nintendo was making another Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Animal Crossing, etc. game. I thought they'd finally run out of ideas, but more sequels are on the way!

No they haven't.

In the next Mario, he travels through TIME.
In the next Zelda, there's a new item, the crossbow.
In the next Metroid, there's a new boss.

It's somewhat comical and depressing to know this company, so hailed for innovation, is constantly churning out the same shit over and over.

...and that they don't even try to hide the fact that their entire library is comprised of the same game remade over and over.

when the fuck did EA sports take over nintendo?

[almondblight]

The worst part is the games are all the sameIt's not just Mario, Zelda, and Metriod again. It's Mario fights bowser to save peach, Link fights Ganondorf to save Zelda, Metriod fights Ridley/space pirates. Eh...?

[Kaiserin]

No shit, Nintendo has been canning it's own farts and smelling them for years. The soundtrack in Twilight Princess pulls a lot of stuff right out of OOT. Every thing is some fucked up retelling of the same thing in a different universe that holds no sense of continuity with the other products, just a whole lot of similarities.

I'm actually starting to wonder how they hell they ever got this reputation. I was definitely under the impression that they were creative for a while...

Nintendo fanboys are amusing. They hold Nintendo in such high regard that they can do no wrong.

Which I guess is the definition of a fanboy. I guess there's just a lot more Nintendo fanboys.

Actually, I think they're being very innovative right now... it's just that they're innovating away from anything I'd like.

I've owned the Wii since the first day it came out. I ran a Wii fanboy Web site and forum for the first 18 months or so. I bit my tongue while the Wii got poo-poo'd here.

I still like it for all the reasons that I was first attracted to it. I like it for being able to play all the old, original Nintendo games. I've boughts tons of them at the Wii store, and I suspect that the original Sim City for the NES is my kids second or third favorite game. Some of the old stuff has legs, and is really good still today.

I love the Wii for the innovative controls, which never bothered me much and in fact made me pretty happy. My kids love a lot of the platformers on the system, and I love a lot of the 5 minute mini-games (especially the Rayman stuff).

I even like the Web browser.

But having said all that, Nintendo is lately going away from "games for normal people." Now it's more like, "games for soccer moms." I really think Nintendo has confused the two, and assumes they are the same thing. They're not. I think Reggie was genuinely confused when the interviewer said that hardcore gamers were not smiling. Reggie thinks Animal Crossing is "hard core" for gamers? That's a serious disconnect from not only the hard core gamers, but even from the mainstream. His thinking has gone way over to being almost grandmotherly.

You know, it's one thing to say to a grumpy old gamer like me, "We know you love old RPGs, but try Excite Truck and see if it doesn't make you happy." It's another thing to say, "RPGs? Listen, you probably have a weight problem from sitting at the computer all day, you nerd, so maybe do Wii Fit on a schedule, OK?" I mean, Excite Truck and similar shallow but amusing games are at least fun. But Wii Fit? Really? We're talking about turning the Wii into the discarded exercise cycle that nobody uses? We're talking about turning the Wii into that thing that makes us feel guilty because we're supposed to use it? I want to want to use the Wii. This is just ridiculous.

This is where I can't go. I feel like Nintendo is Tom Hanks in the movie Big -- he's fully crossed over into being an adult, but I just want to play some damn games. Couldn't he just walk away from adulthood and think up something fun to play with his old friends? Please?

[quote="almondblight"Link fights Ganondorf to save Zeld[/quote]

Quit lieing you troll, 1.Link fights Ganon (Ganon is the beast thing... Ganondorf is the human, both have 2 n) more then he does Ganondorf 2.Link fights Ganons puppet (who we are soposed to believe is acting on his own) THEN fights ganon

[Mikayel]

DU reminds me of the slightly out-of-touch grandfather figure who comes in every now and again to try to join in with the hip youngsters, attempting their lingo and sharing their jokes. He means well, and he's a pretty cool guy sometimes, but he just makes everyone feel kind of uncomfortable and nobody can really relax until he goes back to his pipe and slippers.

Or something.
