Opinion: Nintendo Thinks Girl Gamers are Idiots?

After watching Nintendo's press conference, and specifically the behavior of Nintendo's Cammie Dunaway, Binge Gamer's Allison Boyer has had just about all she can take of this "new" Nintendo:

"It's like Nintendo is giving the big middle finger to girls in gaming. No, I take that back. Nintendo doesn't have the balls to give us the middle finger. They're writing mean things about us on the junior high bathroom walls with dark red lipstick, and then smiling and pretending to be our BFFs to our faces. Well guess what, Nintendo. Becky Henderson told Jeannie Richards who told me that she saw you do it. You're not invited to our sleepover anymore, so there."

hahahahaha, imagine how pissed this girl would be, if she had a fixme dvd player that keeped breaking on her.

[CViper]

GIt!!!!

kidding kidding.

[Product]

What girls watch E3?

[Lelouch V Brit]

mmm..... Good question.

[Bestgameever]

The ones that wished for more hardcore games?

[doshey]

haha no one can lie that was funny watching the women play video games during ms and Nintendo conference

[LKane]

Guys will stop laughing at girls playing video games when girls stop steering with their non-motion sensing controller in driving games.

[juuken]

Oh no they didn'...-___-
Nintendo, I praised you for selling the most hardware and you're trying to diss girl gamers? Well, this is one girl gamer who can kick some serious ass!

[TitanUp]

not all girls are the same i have a few girl friends that play games often and all of us watched e3 together don't judge all girls based on a couple not all males are the same not all females are the same.

but what the heck im not getting nintendo

[ScottEFresh]

Well they are! Especially the blonde ones.

[NewsGforce]

typical that girls whine and complain about Nintendo thinking they are idiots. The only people who should be mad at Nintendo is the hardcore gamers, not chicks (and im sure there are some hardcore gamer girls, but they are not the ones complaining).

[Angrychinchilla]

Apparently they think all gamers are idiots.

[Agent VX]

Girls are idiots. Turn them upside down, and they are all sisters. Girls are only good for cooking and cleaning, the rest is just too much work to enjoy.

[Tanner666]

I cant see nintendo doing something
like this.

[TruthbeTold]

It appears that Nintendo has "Dunaway" with appealing to the hardcore at E3. I've been far more disappointed than I have been intrigued or excited.

[Silogon]

This is absurd, I hate ... Well, pretty much everything but this is stupid. She was simply playing up to a younger audience. The woman is like 50, do you think she acts like this and tries to project a self degrading image to women gamers everywhere, really?

NO!

She was appealing to the girl gamer crowd. Not the women. The women who have to act all professional, cause wake up call!!!! There aren't many professional women gamers in the gaming world. Sorry to say.

Nintendo means no malicious intent or harm. This site and anyone willing to buy into the self righteous rants of a PMS raving hooker needs to be checked at the door.

Nintendo isn't at fault here idiots who can't connect the right wires are.

[Yi-Long]

... IS an idiot. Seriously.

First Nintendo makes you wait in line for a revamped Gamecube that's overpriced, out-of-date, cant even play DVD's...

... as with the N64 and the Cube, the system (as expected and predicted) has some cool 1st party games (in this case Zelda TP, Mario, and Metroid), but SERIOUSLY lacks in quality 3rd party support...

... and as usual with Nintendo, they dont care!

Why?

Simple... they dont care cause dumb-ass mommies and daddies, and casual 'tweens' lap it up, giggling and smiling with joy.

Obviously, the Wii is fun. No denying.
Is it a good game-system!? Hell no.

A good gamesystem has a wide variety of quality choice in genres across the board. The 360 has that (lacking in a few genres), the PS3 will most likely get there in time, but I have absolutely no hope that Nintendo will have more than 10 must-have games on it's machine after it's gone from the shelves.

People should have known this was coming. It's no surprise AT ALL for those who have lived through the last 15 years orso, watching the N64 and Cube collecting dust on the shelf because there was hardly anything new and worthwhile to play on it...

It's sad that Nintendo decided to send some dumb broad on stage to show the whole world that apparently you dont need a brain to be succesfull in life... but it doesnt even compare to how Nintendo is treating the gaming-industry, and us, the players.

It would be nice if Nintendo would learn from it's mistakes, and make their next console a powerhouse with complete and full support from 3rd party developers... but I doubt it!?

And why would they!? They make more money with selling DS-style graphics on Cooking Mama Wii, then they do with Metroid 3 I bet.

Like I said, Idiots are lapping it up. They dont care. They wanna swing and wave and poke and tap and wiggle lige spastic fools in their livingroom, instead of experiencing a story-driven game from the couch for hours on end.

Anyone who has bought a Wii shouldnt be outraged with Nintendo, but with themselfs. They should have known better.

[Teh-Venom]

damn i never thought i would see all this bashing on nintendo! nice job casual gamers.

[matpoo]

it's funny cause it's true

[n00bzRtehgey]

They are. That's why Jewkin loves DMC. LOL, they're hot for that emo queer Dante. Crap franchise. I own all four games (got the collection). They suck. God of War smokes it.
