What has Nintendo done for us lately?

The Vgtilt goes all in against Nintendo and compares their last 10 years to Microsoft's last 8 years. Who comes out the winner in the end?

[Lolliflop Lolliflop]

They've made sure to beat Microsofts console which costs less than their console,so long as Microsoft loses I'm always going to be smiling and laughing at Xbots

[Shaka2K6]

Nothing besides ripping people off and abusing their poor little fanboys they are the most pathetic even more then xbugs, xbugs are trash, but the nintendo nerds really need to die they are all just human waste Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

All you said in that post was :
I hate this that and that.

Same f*cking post over and over again, you never say something good.
Grow the F*ck up =/.

[TheColbertinator]

You really dislike Nintendo,don't ya Silogon?

[Silogon]

Ya know, I really did. I grew up on nes, but something changed around the Sega Genesis days and I never looked at thm the same again. Ii will always love the nes and even the snes to a degree, but Nintendo has held the industry back, I really believe this. I think Nintendo is more worried about making the most profits off of the least products.

This is just my opinion and I have nothing but their actions to back me up with, but I stand by the claim.

@siligon
" but Nintendo has held the industry back"
How the hell are they holding anything back?
They keep the industry healthy(getting in new people) and Sony and MS push hardware limits.
what more do you want?

Hope nintendo keeps trying to be like this ( not hardware wise, but their mindset to get everyone playing and actually get them like they got them with the Wii)
This way when some part of the industry starts crashing down it has something to lean on. Especially with the economy now coming down in many places those high development costs aren't helping anything.

" I think Nintendo is more worried about making the most profits"

hahahahahahah, seriously when was the last time Sony or MS donated you when you got one of their systems ? XD

MS and SONY would like to have the most profits too.
But for them it will just take some time, for example if Sony didnt care for profits they wouldnt be selling the PS2 on that price tag today while the hardware is extremely cheap to make nowadays.
No profit in that right? after 8 years?
yeah right they don't care for profits, but if thats what you believe xD

nintendo gave us the rumble pack for games, the Wii which is the best selling system this gen. bumper buttons, some of the best platformer games

[somedude5892]

I love Nintendo but the last few months have been really down.

The next game I'm really looking out for on the Wii is the new tails game. and that's not till Christmas.

[kunit22c]

but it looks liek this holiday season and next year their game is going WAY up!

[Smacktard]

Silogon's pathetic. Biggest fanboy I've ever seen. How did this article get accepted? It reeks of fanboy poo.

[ChickeyCantor]

How is silogon a fanboy?
That guy is trashing everything.
That guy is all over the place with his opinions.

I still don't get that guy honestly..

@ Sillygon
Nintendo created the d-pad,controller,shoulder buttons,analog control,rumble,motion(made it mass marketed)
what has Sony or ms done besised copy what the pc has already laid the groundwork for?

[Gr81]

But I wouldn't even waste my time talking to a person with 2 bubbles..I guess we now know how he got himself into a situation where he can only post twice..that's hilarious.

[Smacktard]

"Nintendo hasn't made a new franchise worth a damn or that was an original thought since the early 80's. They reuse and rehash all their material over and over again. It becomes a rollercoaster ride with open ****bags tied to front cart."

"Microsoft has solidified itself as a true player in securing major franchises that sell millions and millions around the world and continue to make long strides everyday by getting new technology into their house and, more importantly, new IP. Nintendo has no idea what this means, as they are often too busy molding new plastic add ons for their consumers to buy."

I dunno, sounds pretty fanboyish to me. How many good exclusives does the 360 have again?

"Microsoft ha revolutionised the console gaming industry in just 8 short years, like Nintendo only wished it could have done."

lolwut

He also bought into that "Microsoft invented avatars" crap. Isn't he the very definition of fanboy? Perhaps troll would be more suiting?

You can rag about how the motion controls are lacking, how the harddrive issue is still not really being fixed, or about all the casual crap, and I'll completely agree. But this "article" reeks of fanboy filth.

[ChickeyCantor]

I wouldn't call him a fanboy, maybe delusional xD.
He comes of as a fanboy but his hate goes to every console.

But yeah when he actually believes Nintendo stole the avaters...he must really really hate Nintendo or he is just 100% on drugs

[kunit22c]

when people say nintendo are the ones who nevercome up with anything creative... seriously do you look at teh other consoles?? let me sum up the otehr consoles starting with ps1 and xbox, ok so they started out then their next systems improved using better graphics more hardware space, ooooohhh ahhhh wait lets not forget online, then next system once again better graphics more hardware space ohhh ahhh, wait lets not forget about a million first person shooters, some gameplay, sony has had teh same controler for all 3 consoles?!?! nintendo actually changed the gameplay?!?? They changed the way you play your old games!?!? they also made the DS with new gameplay also!? Sony and Microsoft are gonna use motion sensing for their next system!? (no not copying nintendo at all) Microsoft copying nintendo with avatars!?
hmmm.... seems to me nintendo isnt the one repeatig but more like sony and mircrosoft... :)

[outlawlife]

i was talking to the owner of a rather large local game store in my area last week and he was ripping nintendo up and down

he said he has stopped ordering his usual amount of software for wii because he can't move it, he can move systems but nobody wants the games for wii because they are content with wiisports

he orders wii systems and wii fit, and has had tons of games collecting dust, he has actually resorted to selling games that won't move for highly discounted prices and selling on ebay as well because they are taking up shelf space he could better use

he said on average he only sells 1-3 wii games a day where as other systems he has to order new stock each week

they really need to push some good games hard for wii, but i guess they don't really need to

they just pad their pockets with hardware sales, they ahve kind of forgotten the real gamers that made them to begin with and pander to the crowd that just wants their system to be cool

[Product]

Your basing what a local store says over wii sales from NPD which show its always selling more then any of the other consoles(xbox did have more last month for a change).
Good story though.

[Genaral Leo]

Silogon just wants the best games to be made. Can't blame him.

[PirateThom]

There's nothing specifically wrong with the Wii, it's gaming in a different form. The problem I have with it is that the best games could have been completely playable and more enjoyable with a controller, which makes the remote feel more like a chore than an exciting, new toy. I play games to relax, not to wave my arms about or hold them in awkward positions when I'm having a long gaming session. I'm yet to play a single game on Wii where I felt the remote was a good substitute for a controller.

If the Wii ever has a good game where motion sensing was a requirement and the game simply could not be done without it, I'd accept that as innovation, but until then, it's done nothing to move gaming forward, all its done is held technology in gaming back. This should have been the generation of the HD consoles - movies and TV are moving towards HD - and the forefront of games we have the Wii.

It's not just about the pretty graphics which a lot of Wii fans seem to think it is, there's things like physics, AI and environmental reactions that have to be considered. It all takes processing power. Then Wii owners complain when they get Soul Calibur Legends rather than Soul Calibur 4 and watered down versions of games like The Force Unleashed. The fact is, the Wii cannot physically process everything and just display it in sub-HD resolutions or with downgraded graphics and the remote has proven that it doesn't lend its self well to most genres.

The sooner we come to terms with the fact the Wii was not designed with gaming for gamers in mind, the sooner we can move on and get Nintendo to maybe try making some games and see if it works.

[kesvalk]

well, we need to remember that motion controls are not something the devs are used to do, in fact i really think the first year games are all devs trying to test the controls... (of course, nothing like testing while making money... all hail the shovelware!)

i think now that they know how to use them better, the motion control will start to become better

more like it was used in wario land, i think it was very intuitive on how they did it...

force unleashed force control was responsive enough to me too(although the game is a giant piece of crap...)

i do agree with you that most of the games until now dind't had good motion controls, but i think it's because most of the dev really dind't even knew how to use it...

let's see how 2009 fare, now with WM+
