Argh. Nintendo has abandoned us. Us: The hardcore gamers. The people who care enough to seek out other fans on message boards just to chat about the latest gaming news. The people who made them who they are.
What's with all these third party games coming out marketed towards the casual gamers? What's Nintendo doing? Taking a vacation? I'm a frequent visitor of IGN.com, so I'm up to date on all the latest gaming news. But theres absoloutly no new games coming out that are worth buying.
I was looking in an issue of Nintendo Power, and it gave a list of awards for all the games that came out in 2008. Brawl won over half the awards because that's like the only good first party game that came out for the entire year.
The only big title we got for E3 2008 was Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing sucked. Nothing new. Just the same elements stolen right outta the Gamecube and DS versions. And Wii motion plus keeps getting delayed. >8(
They've turned gaming into... (shudder) mAiNsTrEaM..
Videogames used to be like a sacred bond between nerds! Now I see moms and grandparents playing and it stops being cool. It's even effected teh internetz. Seriously, tech support forums...? What da' heck?!
They're just trying to play it completly safe-- extra thick wrist straps, and strap locks. Bah.
Not to mention they coated the entire controller in rubber.
*sigh* I like the Wii and all. I'm glad it's doing well and it's future is secure but honestly, I think the gamecube had a little more heart to it.
