Why does Nintendo hate us? [Archive]

I am so disapointed in the amount of online games for the Gamecube! Do these people even realize how much it can add to a game to have online capabilities?

PSO is the only onlilne game for Gamecube, and PSO Ep.3 is the only upcoming online game for Gamecube. If it wasn't for the wonderful Sonic Team, whom we all love, Gamecube would have no onlie games at all.

Anyone else really iritated about this? Gah! It just bugs me...I miss my Dreamcast. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

No. The number of upcoming games PERIOD are garbage anyway. Not to mention that developers are starting to can current and future projects for the GCN. Which is really heartbreaking since Nintendo really tried this time. I always had hoped Nintendo would deliver the KO to Sony, but i dont really see that happening soon, if ever even. Oh well...there's always the GBA!!

Hate probably wouldn't be the accurate word to portray Nintendo's, er, ... motives.

Ignorance?
Cowardice?
Naivete?
Just plain stupidity?

I understand their necessity to be the original and unique console; but damn, does that mean completely ignore the ever-improving technology and modernizing aspects of videogames/consoles[Ex. online capabilities]!?

Meh.

No they're not, look at their console it only plays a unique dvd(that not new?) it links to another console (gba, that not new?)it has wireless controller(again,that not new?).
Then you look at some of it's games...Pikman?

Of course Nintendo try new things, they always have and always will. Where as SONY sell-out and do things that will make them most money,which usually ISN'T new things.

You know, if it wasn't for a select number of series on the GameCube (like Metroid Prime) I probably wouldn't have bought it. I mean really, the system is a damn cube. They could have made it a bit cooler than a purple cube. That turned off alot of people.

I think Nintendo really doesn't know where to go. They want to please us, the older audience, but they also want to please the younger audience too. Well, there's less younger audience and more older audience. And the younger audience is skipping the kiddie games and going straight to the older audience games. The day I saw a seven year old playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City I almost had a heartattack.

Then again, I'm not to impressed with Sony. They have a lot of games, yes, but they are short and just dumb, or they play really well. But there's very few games on the PS2 that I ended up liking. I only have about 3 PS2 games, and I've owned the system from the launch. I play my PS1 games much more than PS2. The Xbox was a different story, I actually bought games for that because the games just seemed better for me. They held my attention longer.

Sony just seems to get all their ideas from everyone else, and not dare to go out on a limb and try something they created. And, because they are Sony and thay have that damn reputation, all of their ideas get popularized and they get praised for just copying someone else.

SOCOM? Voice chat? That's a revolution, now isn't it! Hmmm... I wonder where that came from, since Microsoft had the voice chat in the making when it was putting together the system...

Online game play? I recall the Dreamcast putting together the first online game playing network... Not Sony... And Sony doesn't even hold tournaments like Sega did, or like Microsoft is doing now...

2 controller ports? Who the hell has 2 controller ports anymore? And why exactly do I want to spend extra money for multitaps?

Hard Drive? Um... Xbox came with it built in. And I payed the same amount for my Xbox as I did my PS2...

So all the good stuff for the PS2 comes separate, eh? Like the network adapter and the hard drive? I thought this system came online ready? I guess not. Personally, I already paid a lot for the system. I don't want to pay more!

*Sighs* Poor Sony... Final Fantasy XI better be damn good, that's all I have to say.

That can hold less data than a regular. All it is a mini-disc that can't work shen scratched.

Dreamcast did that with Neo Geo.

it has wireless controller(again,that not new?).

Those have been around since the Sega Genesis days.

What does that prove. It's like a space version of Lemmings. Look at Halo? Look a Final Fantasy X-2? What's your point?

I haven't seen Nintendo make a new character since.... never. Not even the things you listed were new. I for one am tired of playing the same games over and over again.

(wow, my first post @_@)

Anyhoo, you guys don't bother to look things up do you? Not meaning to be rude and what-not, but Nintendo has a lot of things in mind. Hundreds of games are produced every month in Japan, its jsut the US picks a handful of them.

Oh yeah, and as for online gaming, the reason they are taking their time is because they are trying to find a cheaper way for players to connect, and the games they have in mind will take a while to figure onto online. Sure they have the kid games like pokemon and stuff, but games like Super Smash Bros Online, which are high speed games, take a while to connect. They don't want lag, nor a high price. Those are the two most common problems why people don't play online for other systems.

I don't care what everyone else thinks. I will always be loyal to Nintendo and I think the Gamecube is the best console since the SNES. You won't find Metroid, Zelda and Mario games anywhere else would you? I think Nintendo are really brave by choosing a different design to others when designing their box. If it wasn't a cube, then it wouldn't be called a Gamecube would it? I don't care if the PS2 is selling a million times better than the Gamecube. It's quality that counts, not quantity...

I don't agree, I like the cube. And I'd assume it'd turn more people on than off.

I think Nintendo really doesn't know where to go. They want to please us, the older audience, but they also want to please the younger audience too. Well, there's less younger audience and more older audience. And the younger audience is skipping the kiddie games and going straight to the older audience games.
This is so ridiculously true. It's also ironic; the average kid(ages 6-12) will flock to mature games like GTA3. Most kids are attracted to more adult things, since like most of us when we were that age, want what we don't have. And it's ironic because Nintendo intentionally attempts to cater this young generation with games that they think will be appealing, when in the end, it has an adverse effect and turns kids off. It's come so low as to where people insult the kiddy seeming games, "LOLOLZ u PLAY THAT GEY MARIO SUNSHINE??/"

Anyhoo, you guys don't bother to look things up do you? Not meaning to be rude and what-not, but Nintendo has a lot of things in mind. Hundreds of games are produced every month in Japan, its jsut the US picks a handful of them.

What the hell should we be looking up? Oh yeah, I REALLY want to know about all the special, hot hot games that are coming out in Japan, even though I live in America where they will never be translated and released! XD </sarcasm>

Back to the subject of my original paragraph, I wonder when the hell Nintendo will wise up. I want to be loyal to them, (there's a huge, hairy, fat line between loyalty and fanboyism), but they're really not giving me a reason to.

Well, I really thought that since they were Nintendo they could come up with something better than a... cube... I liked the N64 design, it was pretty sleek. But, a purple cube? The only redeeming quality I found for the cube's design so far is the Titanium Special Edition cube & controller. I got one of those, as well as a Titanium colored GBA.

Hey, what can I say? It pays to wait. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Anyway, I still wish the kiddies would play Pokemon and stay away from GTA3. It just seems... more right. However, Nintendo can keep making the kiddie games, because Super Smash Bros. was suppose to be like that, and the game is as addicting as hell. If they EVER make a Super Smash Bros. Online, I WILL be the first one in line, as well as many other people all over the world.

If it wasn't for nintendo gaming today would not be as far off as it is today. They made games that formed entire genres. Without Mario or Zelda think where games would be: Pong, Pong+, Pong with blue paddles... The cube may not have the best games but it is pumping out the most innovative and creative regardless of continual use of trademark characters. What was mario a clone of? Nothing, it took gaming a little higher. What did Animal Crossing come from? Despite its origins in Harvest Moon it did take it a little farther. Sure the cube may not have GTA3 and such, but it still has the games that count, fun games.

Please learn to type.

Also SSBM is not original it is just like SSB except it has the new adventure mode and trophies (neither of which are fighting game originals). Don't get me wrong; it's still a good game. I like turn-based RPGs better than Zelda-like ones. I think Squaresoft makes some of the best RPG's out there only topped by Bethseda (the creator of Morrowind).

I myself own a GC but had it not been for a few awesome franchises i wouldn't. I originally bought it for Rogue Squadron 2 and because it had all the tried and true games like Metroid and Zelda coming to it. I have been very disappointed in Nintendo lately though. They don't have very much third party support and the support that they do get sucks (with the exception of EA Games, Capcom, etc.). I probably wouldn't have bought a cube if they had said only 1(soon to be a wopping 2) of our games are gonna be online. This is why I ended up getting a PS2 as well. I truly believe that Nintendo is afraid of putting out a Mature game (GTA *cough*). Sure we have the Resident Evil series and Eternal Darkness, which are both cool, but no one is going to buy a system with games like Cubix:Robots for Everyone and the nearly dead Pokemon franchise. Don't get me wrong, I still love Nintendo and my cube. Somehow they manage to make Mario and Zelda (both of which look kiddie-ish) non kiddie games. But I am very disappointed in them lately.

First of all, I don't consider myself a moronic fan. And I think bringing a series into 3D and having it work is an accomplishment *cough*METROID*cough*. We don't "declare" anything the best thing ever. I personally thought Wind Waker was going to suck but after playing it, it wasn't that bad. Have you played the old Zelda games? A lot has changed since then too. C'mon! I'm five years younger than you and I know this.

Relating back to the original question, I think the reason why Nintendo have yet to release an online game is because they want to see whether it is worth investing in. The Gamecube has only been like a year old (I think, only got mine last December) and I'm going to be patient with Nintendo because I know they will release some good online games by christmas. Look at the PS2, it's been out for years now and still hasn't yet managed to successfully go online. I hope that I didn't start up another console war, I'm just keeping my faith in Nintendo and praise them in every way I can.

Have you even played Metroid Prime? The game doesn't feel like any FPS I've ever played. It feels like Super Metroid put into 3D. There are so many things that could've gone wrong with making the metroid series 3D(like making it a regular FPS). I assumed with Zelda that you were talking about the technical parts( graphics, sound, etc.) and the gameplay of the game. Since you mostly meant story and gameplay elements I agree, they should be changed. But the triforce and Ganon are and alway will be Zelda's main story line, so there isn't much to change (but wait, didn't the wind waker do just that?) And don't worry, I didn't take offense to the comment.

First of all, Metroid Prime is one of the best Fps games Ive ever played. It has a great storyline, bg music, graphics, gameplay, items, and levels. Because of that, It's being nominated for Game Of the Year at G4 for Achieving the Glow (international event) I dont see any other Fps's getting that (splinter cell and battlefield 1942 are F/Tps's)
And Powerball didnt get nearly as much praise as SSBM... SSB was out be4 Powerball

Remember, its all about money.

I own a PS2 and an X-Box. I had a GC, but sold it because it had about 2 games that I would want.

Even games I thought I would like I didnt.
Take for example Super Monkey Ball, mind you I only bought it because it had Monkeys in Balls, but that game was pretty lame. If it was $10.00, it would have been worth it. The other example is Rouge Squadron 2, why did everyone like that game? Will someone tell me? I found 0 replay value.

Then you have Mario, Zelda, and the other old franchises. I never played them, probably a good game but most likely overrated because they are old.

I am not a big RPG player, but it seems to me that the GC has few.

Whatever though I am happy with what I have.

I don't know about the others, but I liked it because it let you play-out parts of the Star Wars movies (Such as the Battle of Endor, Hoth, etc.) This alone gave it a lot of replay value for me. Add that with awesome graphics, sound, and control, and you have a 5/5 game. But that's my opinion. If you could care less about Star Wars then I could understand why you wouldn't like it. I could also understand why you wouldn't like Super Monkey Ball. The original SMB didn't have enough in it to make it worth buying. SMB 2 however was a different story....

Gamecube is the best system out there right now. It has more exclusive characters than any other system. It also has great games like Metroid Prime and Windwaker. You're complaining that there is no online play, which is just stupid. Console systems saren't meant to be played online. If you want to play online get a computer. The primary use for the console is for use in the home. Its secondary use is online play. Gamecube more than makes up for its lack of online play with good games. Metroid Prime, Windwaker, and Super Smash Bros. Meele are just a few of those games. Gamecube is also the only system able to play handheld games. Nintendo systems have always been better than those made by Sony. Not only is Gamecube better than PS2, N64 was better than PS. GBA will also probably be better than any handheld system Sony will come out with(yes, I know they are working on one). Nintendo also created what is arguably the best system ever, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System(SNES). I have always been, and probably always will be, loyal to Nintendo.

And just because I can say this, the second best system out there right now in Xbox.

Opinion.

It has more exclusive characters than any other system.

That are 10+ years old.

It also has great games like Metroid Prime and Windwaker.

So what are the exclusive characters then?

You're complaining that there is no online play, which is just stupid. Console systems saren't meant to be played online.

Obviously, they are.

If you want to play online get a computer

Becuase the computer is the only thing allowed to use the internet?

The primary use for the console is for use in the home. Its secondary use is online play.

So it is supposed to be used online then?

Gamecube more than makes up for its lack of online play with good games. Metroid Prime, Windwaker, and Super Smash Bros. Meele are just a few of those games.

Thats more then a few of them, and you mentioned them before, twice.

Gamecube is also the only system able to play handheld games.

Handheld games sacrifice good graphics and better sound etc, because you want to play them on the go.

Nintendo systems have always been better than those made by Sony. Not only is Gamecube better than PS2, N64 was better than PS.

Always? The Playstation was Sonys first system, and is still having games released for it.

GBA will also probably be better than any handheld system Sony will come out with(yes, I know they are working on one).

Um, thats the GBA, not the GC.

Nintendo also created what is arguably the best system ever, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System(SNES). I have always been, and probably always will be, loyal to Nintendo.

So they made a good system 10+ years ago. Point?

Yup, except my first and third are switched with yours.

I figured someone was going to pick this apart, I thought I would...

EDIT- Deathcheese, I only had one controller...
