I'm going to act like Tye.

It's just your opinion.

That article was also wrong. They said that nintendo games don't die, yet very few nintendo games have good replay value. Some don't even have any replay at all! And when the article said that very few ideas are reused, look at NSMBWii. I loved the game, but hell, when I heard it was gonna be the the DS game, I was a bit putdown. Mario's not really living up to his high jumping potential anymore. Why do I say this? Luigi and both toads can jump as high as Mario can. I know for keeping it fair, but why couldn't every character have his own unique ability? *sigh*

Yes, Nintendo most certainly did make good games back in the day. They had the best console around. Nowadays, not so much. The Wii? Poor excuse for a system. If Nintendo just stuck with their Gamecube formula and made quirky but fun games without the use of WAGGLAN, than I would still respect them as a company. And like Jak said, if they're motion control was so perfect, than why is an extra peripheral being released?

Now this is a message to all gaming companies/publishers: Quit catering to casual gamers and give your true gaming fanbase something to chew on. No, I don't want Natal, or Wii Fit 2.5 deluxe running edition, or Carnival Games 3.

Seriously. It makes me sick to my stomach when Sony and Microsoft try to appeal to casuals. Nintendo's already dead, but hopefully the other two don't go down the same road in search of quick cash.

Which leads me to my next point: Go PC gaming and you never have to worry about casuals. Computers are too complicated to upgrade and maintain for 78 year old gramma and my 11 year old sister, leaving no market for casuals. Hell yeah.

Um...how the hell is Nintendo "dead" if they're the leading video game company? >_>

Grandmas, 10 year olds, and soccer moms.

That article was also wrong. They said that nintendo games don't die, yet very few nintendo games have good replay value. Some don't even have any replay at all! And when the article said that very few ideas are reused, look at NSMBWii. I loved the game, but hell, when I heard it was gonna be the the DS game, I was a bit putdown. Mario's not really living up to his high jumping potential anymore. Why do I say this? Luigi and both toads can jump as high as Mario can. I know for keeping it fair, but why couldn't every character have his own unique ability? *sigh*

What the hell are you talking about? New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a completely different game than New Super Mario Bros. for DS. >_> It's also a lot better, with tons of replay value.

Tons of replay value? Hahaha. Me and my brother beat in two days, unlocked the first stage in World 9, and we haven't touched it in over two weeks. Replaying the same few levels over and over again isn't considered very good replay value.

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened with me too. It took me a week though to beat it 100%, which necessarily isn't long enough in my standards. Especially since I played it for like 2 hours each day.

Yea. I only play it when friends are over. And that's rare.

You guys are missing the point of this... I wasn't trying to say "Nintendo is best, period, end of discussion, don't talk to me." I was just pointing out an article that tells the greatness of Nintendo, since there seem to be so many Nintendo basher here (ironically, at an Animal Crossing forum >_>). Obviously, in my opinion, Nintendo will always be the greatest video game company to me. And the author of the article agrees. But that's not the point. The point was to point out the differences between Nintendo and the other companies when it comes to things like having the most successful franchises, more durable hardware, reviving the video game industry (you wouldn't have your Xboxes and PlayStations if it weren't for Nintendo), appeal to all ages, and developing new, fun, innovative ways to play.

If new, fun, and innovative ways to play means that some of my favorite games like Orange Box, Battlefield, and Grand Theft Auto won't exist anymore, than no thanks.

Tye... The playstation came way before Nintendo. And I think it was sega that made the first home console and then Sony picked up on it and made a console. The most successful console was the ps2. It lasted for so long. And it was out before nintendo got into the competition. So really, thank sega and Sony. >:/

Wut, Nintendo came out before Sony did for over a decade, and the first successful home console was made by Atari.

Wait... I thought Atari made a really successful home console system (the 2600 lasted for like 6-8 years). Then Nintendo made a console to be unique from the Atari, then Sega entered the mix like a few years after. Sony didn't come until way later :S .

Wasn't that an arcade system? I meant something about the ones where you can swap discs and stuff. Plus, Nintendo wasn't into gaming when they first started.

The NES was made in the 80's, the Playstation in the 90's. And the Atari was indeed a console, with cartridges.

Oh, I see what you mean. The Atari did have some Arcade ports, and most games were like games you could find in an arcade, but I thought it was considered a home console :O .

Nintendo has published some amazing games, you have to admit.
