This Just In: Nintendo Doesn't Get It

Right, they can keep their little shit platform for grandma and the kiddies to play minigames on, and then make their good games on a decent console to compete with current content from every other developer worth a damn that won't look like shit on my HDTV and isn't overly reliant on their waggle gimmick.

Sounds perfect.

...and speaking of Rare, what ever happened to Battletoads?! When was the last time we saw one of those?

Rare lost whatever they had years and years ago. All they can do now is horrify with their character designs.

Didn't most of its talent jump ship for Time Splitters? That series was OK. Didn't really keep up with the polish and advancement a lot of the newer FPS games had.

And because of that even single player 3rd party games like Assassin's Creed, Arkum Asylum, and Brutal Legend are a better purchase on Xbox (maybe not Asylum for the tacked on Joker levels) and make the 360 a much better bang for your buck BECAUSE you don't have to buy another system to get them. The PS3 does have a wicked blu-ray player. But I already have a blu-ray player.

You just got done writing a paragraph without listing a single 360 exclusive except for fucking Crackdown when the topic was exclusives. It wasn't best versions (which are all on PC) or best online experience.

Yoshi, you finally got a PC?

The ole Tandy finally bit the dust.

I was going to butt in and say that drew meant that there weren't enough exclusives to make the average consumer pick the ps3 over the 360, but then he had to go and make a list and ruin everything.

The ps3 has great exclusives, yes, but not enough to immediately win over your average joe, especially when your average joe is really into playing Modern Warfare 2 with his friends who all have 360s.

I don't even think exclusives matter that much any more with third parties going multiplatform on every title. It used to matter when Capcom/Konami/EA would go exclusive on a particular system.

We already acknowledged that third parties have far superior titles than either Sony/MS anyway. Nintendo is a different conversation altogether.

Sony or Microsoft has published my Game of the Year the last four years if I remember right, interestingly enough. It's the reason I haven't just gone completely to PC.
