Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Wake up people, Nintendo's audience was always ''casual'' its just that they also happened to be the best (and/or you used to fall into the ''casual'' crowd). Now when Nintendo is starting to fall behind people blame it on them becoming ''casual'' when they were actually like that the whole time.

also, Nintendo was shit since the N64.

One word: No.

Stopped reading there. That's just fucking retarded, Metroid Prime was the first 3D Metroid game and it was fucking incredible. Sadly, up until this point I actually agree somewhat. Brawl is rather imbalanced, haven't played either SMG nor SMG 2 but judging from videos I've watched it does indeed look very linear. TP is linear alright, I actually stopped playing that game halfway through just because I felt so trapped. NSMB was actually an alright game, haven't played the Wii version though. And since when could you die in a Kirby game? Unless you're mentally challenged.

Why hasn't this thread been locked yet? It's obvious flame-bait.

Actually, you said "anything that bloody mainstream, that sold out, isn't going to really appeal to anyone outside of the casual gaming crew". You said they sucked because they were popular. Deal with it.

Actually, I don't remember saying anything about them sucking,

Well gee, you certainly implied it, and said lots of synonyms.

fuckwad.

Oh look, an internet tough guy. Was this really necessary?

And to be honest, Nintendo is probably my favorite of the big 3. They make the most fun games in my opinion.

DOGGY.

DOG.

WORLD.

Now stop posting and go home.

2 babys 1 black 1 white, & there twins.

Their 3rd party shit is just terrible. But Nintendo does their classics right each time IMO. I've had little to no complaints about their Zelda's, DK, Metroid, Mario etc. So far, they've satisfied me and they were worth every penny.

Theirs my 2 cents, go play your generic FPS'

I miss Rare.

The Wii was/is awful.
Every thing they've released that is a hand held device is awesome, and the 3DS will be the shittttttt!

You better explain this, with examples. Point me in the right direction.

The Androsynth are disappoint.

Do i honestly need to? Have you walked into a gamestop, and looked at the wii game section? You find one good game after like 50 shitty ones you've never even heard of before, ever. The wii is a target for the companies to dump their games on since it sells the most.

Only is not "theirs", it's just for the Wii. The actual company barely develops games like that.

I honestly thought you meant, "Nintendo games developed by other studios".

Now it just seems like nintendo's going down the casual route. I mean i kinda understand, the gaming industry is a doggy dog world, ya know. But still doesn't change the fact nintendo is seriously fucking sucking.

In this one paragraph you managed to mangle three cliche phrases.

Nintendo isn't sucking, you're just getting older.

NSMBW - Mario is fat, heavy, and slippery. He is not suited to manipulate his world. When you die in this game, it's not because of lack of skill. It's not because you failed to control Mario properly. It's because he's a fucking fatass.

I can actually relate to this issue with my dissatisfaction to Super Mario bros. 3. Many times in the game, it feels as if you're slipping on ice, greased with oil while wearing roller skates. To that, I don't attribute so much poor playing skill as I would an imbalanced sense of physics in the game, Mario feels really weighted down and as if he can't control his momentum.

Given the aspects that were later improved, I would really call Super Mario World the first example of the well executed games in the series. If anyone can empathize with this, I feel the same way with the Castlevania games and that 1-3 had some major issues that were only improved upon during the 16bit game consoles.

SMB3 was a vast improved upon SMB1 however,which I consider to be one of the most boring "classics" ever. It's far too easy, the ability to access the war-pipes gives little reason to experience the games in it's entirety and for a home console games at the time, I didn't see anything special about it. Looking back in contrast to other game titles, it feels really underwhelming to play.

And nintendo today: expressing their long dedicated original demographic and fanbase their most sincere appreciation....not.

OP is correct with his idea. Nintendo has for a long time offered subpar quality and effort when they had the opportunity to retain their credibility. Now they're just a laughable namesake shitting away their values for some irrelevant experiments they were prone with during their NES/Powerglove/Uforce days.

No, I didn't, for all the love in the world read it. I said they were mainstream, and sold out. I did not say they sucked. You're drawing conclusions where there are none.

Well gee, you certainly implied it, and said lots of synonyms.

Hah. No. The only thing that saying something is mainstream implies is that they're mainstream. n = n. It doesn't even imply that they're making fatloads of cash, though they are in this case.

Just because you think that something that is mainstream is automatically completely unlikable, doesn't mean anyone else does. Get your head out of your arse, I like Nintendo.

Oh look, an internet tough guy. Was this really necessary?

You know what you do when you assume something? You make an ass of u and me. Love that saying. You're doing it. Stop.

When I read these I just went wtf? The prime series imo were pretty cool because of the whole first person perspective. NSMBW was a great game to play especially with friends since you could dick each other over and it was nice to see a 2D mario game. btw Mario has always been fat.

Really? When I first played OoT, I had never been struck with such awe and confusion before. I was engulfed in a large land of majesty, the land of hyrule. Unexplored dungeons, towns, and people awaited me at every corner. I visited every area twice before I went to the castle as Young Link. The first time I stepped into Hyrule Field, I felt swallowed by the weight of the land and the open world. SO FUCKING TAKE IT BACK, BIZNATCH, OR ELSE.

Mainstream means popular. Popular means money. Money + hugeass company = fat loads of cash.

But you don't make sense.

"Nintendo is making huge amounts of money on mediocre games, is nowhere near as good as they used to be, in fact they're so mediocre now they can't possibly appeal to anybody outside of casuals...I like them!"

You know what you do when you assume something? You make an ass of u and me. Love that saying. You're doing it. Stop.

Quit pretending like you're the "big better man" or some shit.

Yeah, ya see the thing is Nintendo has to stick with their old stuff now.

Like think, if someone invented the characters Mario, Kirby, Link, etc... People would be like.... Wtf is this crap.

Why is this thread still here?

Good question. While they like to keep things secret, I sas some strong games last year. They did get bad when they went after casual, but the are not much compared to Activision.

Good question. I think we've all pointed out orangekiller's idiocy enough times already. I was willing to give this thread a chance at first but it didn't need to be bumped back up.
