This Just In: Nintendo Doesn't Get It

Random drug tests are a bitch. And very real in my life.

I want to make sure we're all on the same page here:

-Nintendo releases mindless "Iwata Asks" PR fluff
-Yoshi whines
-Five pages of TNL bandwidth are wasted

The Ultimate Whiner

Nintendo: No, let's not do that. Here is a cheap system that doesn't break. We will sell it at a profit since we aren't retards. Here are games. They are fun and don't require 40 hours of filler grinding to justify 90 million dollar development budgets.

People: Thanks Nintendo! This is fun and cheap!

Gamers: Wow, Nintendo did it all wrong! This is fun and cheap however!

No. Most Wii games aren't fun once you get over the novelty of motion control. Seriously, do you genuinely think that Wii Fit and Carnival Games are good games? Furthermore, the whole grinding thing is a bit of a strawman since only JRPGs seem to revel in it. Grinding is retarded but fortunately not an issue in 95% of games. Haven't you noticed that people have been complaining about the lack of length in lots of modern games? That speaks more of lack of filler than tacked-on grinding.

Both Kororinpa games are excellent, as is Tiger 2010, so there are a couple games that benefit from motion control. Most of the best Wii stuff uses the pointer, though.

There's too much shit shovelware on the Wii, it's true, but only a brain-dead retard would let it prevent them from enjoying the stuff worth playing. Possibly while browsing the app store on the iPhone.

I don't draw. Not even a little. So I bypass all the Artist's Block threads. What Yoshi does would be like me going into every drawing thread and spouting off about how much drawing sucks, then getting all pissy that everybody doesn't jump on my bandwagon about how much drawing sucks.

I like that you're upset by thinking Yoshi expects everyone to be on the anti-Nintendo bandwagon, but you're just as guilty by expecting everyone to be on the Pro-Nintendo bandwagon.

Is it too hard to simply look past what Yoshi, Joust, and other common "anti-Nintendo titans" say about Nintendo? I don't usually agree with their opinion, but I love that they have an opinion and that I don't get butt hurt when it's not the same as mine.

Seriously? I've been posting here for a couple years now. I know better than that.

Well yes, of course one can't generalize that much and write off the entire Wii platform, or entire control concepts.

But what sells is not generally what is good - which is why I brought up two big selling games that happen to be terrible. My point is that sales do not equate to quality, and I greatly resent Cheebs's implication that I don't enjoy fun if I am not a Wii fanboy. I remain convinced that the people buying garbage like Wii Fit are doing it specifically because of the gimmick, because there is nothing redeeming about the gameplay.

[Yoshi]

Not as good as StriderKyo, but that's basically it. Add in maybe Yoshi whining about shit as usual and you hit the nail on the head.

He also left out you and Buttplant having your noses halfway up my ass trying to prove to yourselves that my shit stinks.

I know you've been here for years. My impression from your posts in this thread, though, is that you want people to join the pro-Nintendo bandwagon and, since people are not so quick to join your stance, you're beating that drum louder by throwing nonsense support like the Amazon Best Selling in Video Games for 2009 list up here.

Alrighty, I should probably clear that up. My intent from the beginning of this thread was to draw attention to the fact that it's ridiculous for Yoshi to get so worked up over something that (a) isn't an issue in contemporary Nintendo games, and (b) shouldn't bother him anyways since he's above playing Nintendo games.

I threw up the Amazon list in here because (a) I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread, and (b) it really did surprise me that some stupid and/or useless peripherals actually outsold some very good games (on Amazon, at least).

That is all.
