And as I said, with indie games and Kickstarter being as popular as they are now then we don't have to worry, especially since all 3 consoles are now catering to the indie development. Plus there are still innovations in the other companies as well so innovation never will really die either. Saying Nintendo is the only real innovator is completely wrong. Yes the are most obviously the biggest ones, but they aren't the only ones at all.KingH3nrry said:I didn't say it would die immediately. With the only innovator (in the console race) out of the game, the industry would slowly die of starvation of new things.
Etrian Odyssey is made by Atlus even thought it is most certainly exclusive to the DS line. Still, it shows that big budgets don't mean squat when fine craftsmanship is more important. Seriously, I found that EO IV gave a sense of adventure I hadn't felt for quite some time in the RPG genre. It really did feel like you were exploring strange new lands and making countless discoveries.irok said:No, that'd be Microsoft, the Xbox 360 has been holding back graphics for awhile now while Nintendo chose to sidestep out of the hardware race by doing things like etrian odyssey and fire emblem , not graphically demanding but still dam good all the same
No one here hates Nintendo, some will poke the fanbase with a stick (ala this thread) but here actual hate revolves around:spartandude said:Ok i am by no means the biggest fan of Nintendo, heck it took me til last year to get a Wii, but seriously what the fuck is it with all the Nintendo hate over the past couple of weeks?
Hey, Sony had it's Motion Controls back before the Wii. It sucked, but it was still there earlier. Though Move was a blatant carbon copy.MetalDooley said:snip
Funny thing is that the EyeToy was actually sorta fun for some games. I think the whole reason they brought it back was because they saw that motion controls were suddenly becoming popular. Although there are no arguments that Move is a blatant copy. XDklaynexas3 said:Hey, Sony had it's Motion Controls back before the Wii. It sucked, but it was still there earlier.

To be completely fair, Apple technically got the ball rolling on touch screen gaming with the iPhone and iPad.Link_to_Future said:So the touchscreen and motion capabilities weren't pioneered by Nintendo?
Would now be a good time to point out that the DS was released, with touchscreen, two and a half years before the iPhone/iPod touch and a full five years before the iPad?Brian Tams said:To be completely fair, Apple technically got the ball rolling on touch screen gaming with the iPhone and iPad.Link_to_Future said:So the touchscreen and motion capabilities weren't pioneered by Nintendo?
