Well, even without having bought a 3DS, I'd be concerned that Nintendo will drop ANOTHER revision in another year...

I agree that Nintendo is just one more handheld manufacturer losing ground to smartphones (boy, the CEO of Nokia must be hopping mad, shouting "See? SEE?! I WAS RIGHT, DAMMIT!!!!"), but the latest move by Nintendo embrace the non-gamer is something new for them. Also, you can't argue that a...

Exactly. On the subject, as a former rabid Nintendo fan, I can safely say that Nintendo could fall off the face of the earth tomorrow and I wouldn't shed a tear. They've decided that their target market is fat housewives who will want to use the Wii and its expensive bathroom scale as a home...

Shouldn't the company that was creating character-based franchises for years logically be better at creating new character based franchises? I think this is one of the most loathsome things about Nintendo: rather than innovate, they'd prefer to slap Mario into yet another sports title and...

http://www.gameinformer.com/p/decade.aspx That's all I have to say on the subject. And no, they're not all just "space marines" or any of the other dismissive crap Nintendo fans like to use to justify hating anything not made by Nintendo. Ezio? Nathan Drake? Raz? John Marston? These are...

And triple post. Wow...

Gah, double post.

As much as I hate motion gaming all around, Kinect is far ahead of that curve. But I still think it won't matter. I'm not convinced that motion gaming is here to stay. Much like the Guitar Hero fad, I wouldn't be surprised to see it end at some point in the near future. Leapster. And...

One could argue that this next console would finally be bringing Nintendo to THIS generation of home consoles, and I don't just mean graphics-wise. Nintendo has even said that their primary reason for releasing the Wii was because they initially wanted to release motion controls on the GC but...

Well said. And you know the worst part? Nintendo could OWN the entire market if they just got off their asses and provided decent 3rd party support for a change. I've dealt with Nintendo's dev tools and Microsoft's dev tools. Nintendo's tools are the goddamn stone age by comparison...

Which curve are they ahead of, again? It's not the graphics curve, that's for damn sure. It's not the online system curve. No siree. It's not the new story-driven IP curve, considering they haven't released a new character-based franchise in the past 10 years (unless you count Professor...

My advice would be to play Eternal Darkness and MGS: Twin Snakes before you truly pass judgment. All you need is a Wii, a GC controller and probably $10 total for both games, sadly.

LOL at all of the people whining at SK for doing this. Do you have any idea what it's like to license an engine and then not get support from the company who created it for, oh I don't know, SHOW-STOPPING BUGS!? Happened to me with my team when we licensed the Torque engine (which is now...

I know, and you're not coming across that way, don't worry. I think it has to come down to "to each, their own" when philosophy is involved. Something that will work for one might not for another and vice versa. Often, Maddox trolled his readers and typically gets reactions out of them...

Updated the main post with another of my gripes about the game.
