This Just In: Nintendo Doesn't Get It

it made perfect sense and I agree with what he said

He's going out of his way to read an interview that he shouldn't be interested in so he can connect it to the declining difficulty (quality) of videogames (America), except for Cave shooters (the conservative right), even though he probably never even plays (has conversations with) Cave shooters in depth (enough to understand what they're really about beyond shooting things and saving money) and i never see him talking about how great From Software's other games are, like King's Field or Armored Core, even though he's propping them up as "The Right Way To Do Things." If you really look into it, Enchanted Arms (Sarah Palin) is not what you want from videogames and being that 3D Dot Heroes is a thinly-disguised Zelda (Nancy Pelosi), you won't enjoy that either.

Congratulations, Yoshi. Being the Glenn Beck of a videogame message board is some kind of achievement that you need stamped on your signature, with "I'm an entertainer, but I present myself as a raving idiot/wise prophet, depending what side you're on."

This is a late entry into the post of the year running. Not all (much?) of it is true, but I applaud the thought and creativity behind it.

Amen to that.

This thread is gold.

Derp!

I agree with Melf. This thread has been a hoot. I wish I had popcorn.

anyone got a pic of a black piece of coal posting the picture of the pot telling the kettle it is black?

I especially like the part where Yoshi put words in the mouth of those big wig Nintendo guys.

Do I COMPLETELY agree with their stated philosophy here? No. But I fully understand where they are coming from. The backlash in this thread is also insight into one of the largest reasons the Japanese gaming industry is dying and becoming increasingly isolated.
