It is a legitimate issue. I guess I was just taken aback by how much it upsets him. Plus with the way people criticize Nintendo, you'd think that Nintendo raped their mothers in a dark alley and left them to die. They may bring it on themselves at times, but it can't be that bad. Then again it doesn't help that I've seen someone at another board talk about that he'll never support Nintendo ever again, and that's all because he has played Skyward Sword and found it to be the same as many of the preceding Zelda games. It's kind of like how Killer Gremlin stated that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is pretty much just a rehash of the first one. I haven't played too much of those games myself, however. I haven't gotten started on playing my own copy of Skyward Sword, but whether it's not much different than other Zelda games, it won't matter to me as long as its fun and easy to play.

So what about those people who may be both? They DO exist, even if we might not hear about them all that much. In fact, I know at least one or two of them.

In the motion control thread, I stand by the quotes I posted. I don't doubt the game is very solid and polished. For a number of people, the controls had their 'not so great moments.' When gameplay is disrupted because of camera or motion controls or glitches, it detracts from the game. Hence, I still feel feel like the 10 is overly-ambitious on IGN's part. The 7.5 or whatever Gamespot gave the game was probably a bit of a lowball score, but at least the score matched the review.
I'm actually pumped to try out Skyward Sword come Christmas. For what that's worth. 
And I do remember you and AGB, my comment about the Nintendo love was more for the other people at this forum. AGB was part of the Nintendojo split....we got AGB and GT out of it. I feel like this forum was more of the Nintendo hardcore crowd.
I'm definitely on a Nintendo hot streak...if only because I've been playing Nintendo games lately. That and PC, because I'm a PC gamer too.
I give Nintendo tough love because I see the potential...just like I give The Walking Dead on the movies/music/tv board tough love. |
I've been a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES, so that's a damn long time. I've owned all their systems since then, although I passed on the Virtual Boy. Even so, I'll probably find myself buying every Nintendo system that ever gets released, simply because I know they'll deliver on their best franchises on which I'm a fan. I will acknowledge the things that Nintendo could improve upon, even if I don't go looking to bite the heads off of puppies and kittens. I've even accepted that they might not ever bother to try and appeal to the "mature gamers" the way Microsoft and Sony do, but that's all right. I've often said that a future Nintendo system could have nothing but T and M-rated games, and it would still be considered a "kiddie" system. We complain that systems like the GameCube and the Wii doesn't have enough mature games, but I can see them getting a lot of flak even if they did.
In fact, I'm wondering why the Wii couldn't have been built with a motion sensor INSIDE, and I hope the Wii U will be different in that respect. The sensor bar just looks silly sticking all the way out of the Wii like that. Also, speaking of the Wii U, I'd hope Nintendo would know what they're doing if they're really going to put the thing out next year, as it's a bit soon. It's one Nintendo system that I wouldn't mind getting pushed back every so often.
I don't have a 3DS yet, but I'd like to get one, although I don't think the 3D is all that necessary. I actually think it's more of a gimmick than anything, and I don't care about it. I just care about the games that come out for it, and that they'll interest me.
The issue you brought up about not being able to transfer games also made me think of how Nintendo reminds me of my mother, with the decisions they make. Like, how she would just come up with some silly decision out of the blue.
