Dear Nintendo...

[Teran]

Mortal Kombat is and will always be better than Street Fighter.

**** outta here, it's way cooler and more compelling, excessive violence and gore aside.

 

[GTA_Hater_331]

Robsta, WHY are you flaming me?!

On the topic of Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat, I think they're both good quality series considering I haven't played either Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat II (only seen others play those, including my older brother). I only support the violence in Mortal Kombat because that's its signature. They need to get rid of the Babalities once and for all.

 

[Mr.Freeman]

oh i see. not secure enough in your maturity to openly enjoy a "girl's cartoon". no wonder you play first person shooters. lmao

Ignorant statement. I'm a fan of kirby. I also dont like CoD

I'm sorry you cant accept opinions.

 

[§witch]

John's a moron. End of story.

 

[john!]

John's a moron. End of story.

no! there is more to the story!

in the sequel it's revealed that i'm not actually a moron.

 

[Teran]

I suck **** and I still think MLP and its fandom is a ***goty pile of garbage.

Just putting it out there.

I agree with this kid.

 

[john!]

teran further confirms the fact that mlp is only for the manliest of men.

 

[Teran]

Seems like you're the one insecure having to be all "IT IS MANLY".

 

[Falconv1.0]

Manly men do manly things, not ironic things that prove they're manly because they're willing to do them.

But sure, keep believing that while meat headed jocks get laid and you...go watch more MLP.

 

[john!]

it's science! a trend i've noticed is that guys who are emasculated, homosexuals, or weak trolls hate mlp. not just in this thread, look in other threads and you find the same thing.

 

[M.K]

You have a bunny rabbit as your avatar.

Case closed.


EDIT: But in all seriousness, I haven't had much "feeling" towards the WiiU as of yet. I'm still kinda "out there" on the interpretation of the controller. I kinda think i gotta hold it and experience it, like the 3DS, to truly appreciate it.

 

[Teran]

Unlike you though, I don't try to pretend I'm manly. I just screw my boys and don't give a ****.

Screw you MK! How are you ninja the master!

 

[john!]

You have a bunny rabbit as your avatar.

Case closed.

said bunny rabbit wears a suit, has mastered 5 different martial arts, and is a secret agent for the british government. don't even get into this argument.

 

[Teran]

A woman could do that but she's still a woman.

**** outta here.

 

[john!]

Unlike you though, I don't try to pretend I'm manly. I just screw my boys and don't give a ****.

Screw you MK! How are you ninja the master!

i actually didn't think i was an alpha male until i became a fan of the show, and realized that i was surrounded by other alpha males. it was a shocking realization at first, but i've come to accept it.

A woman could do that but she's still a woman.

**** outta here.

such a woman would have bigger balls than most guys. surely you agree? if a man can be a *****, then a woman can be manly.

 

[M.K]

Unlike you though, I don't try to pretend I'm manly. I just screw my boys and don't give a ****.

3 minutes is a long time, broski. That's one slack-*** ninja for ya.

WiiU has potential. It's getting the exact same rap as the Wii did when it was first revealed. Blah blah "it's a business vs. give us what we want"....so why does every gaming website say the Wii U was "exactly what we've been asking for?".

EDIT: AND AGAINNNNNN LOLOLOLOL.

 

[Teran]

Male surrounded by other males.

:3

such a woman would have bigger balls than most guys.

Still a woman

Edit: People who hate WiiU before they even tried it are ********.

 

[john!]

Male surrounded by other males.

:3

also surrounded by magic and friendship. it's the best.

ANYWAY

this thread was about... the wii u?

the controller looks really unwieldy. i have a hard time believing that nintendo can really recapture the hardcore market with such a huge controller like that, especially if the touch screen (a traditionally slow and imprecise medium) is used for input in most games.

All hands on reports dispel this worry.

Personally I hope Nintendo doesn't recapture the "hardcore" market. Considering what the word hardcore represents today in a gamer, these are the ****wads I don't want influencing the way my favourite gaming company goes. Like seriously, as a proud SNES and all after owner, I know why I love Nintendo, and it wasn't for bs like CoD and 13 yo boys on Xbox Live going **** OFF MOM I'M PLAYING HALO.

Not saying I don't like violent games but the whole "hardcore" thing nowadays is terrible. Both casual and hardcore ****ing suck. Mainly because they're all ****ing casual except half are in denial.

 

[M.K]

I don't even know what "hardcore" means anymore.
"Hardcore" seems to just be a blanket term for someone to use in hopes that a gaming company will cater to their needs. In my eyes, the term "hardcore" means "my favorites". There is no such thing as a "hardcore market", because the blanket term is a term for individuals to personalize, not a term that can be used to describe a mass of people. When someone says "I only play 'hardcore' games", they are grouping the games they play into a mass that they define as either popular, fun, engaging, or exciting. If someone says "Nintendo will never get the 'hardcore' market back", they're saying that Nintendo has failed to recapture any previous enticement that the user may have felt towards the gaming company when one of their games landed in their "hardcore" pool.

The word "hardcore" isnt' a label for games, it's a label for an individual's taste in games.

 

[Teran]

Yeah. Honestly I think the word dedicated would suit what I and a lot of other gamers are. Gaming is a hobby, a very significant one. I take my games seriously, and I look for certain things when I call a game great.

I accommodate for basically any art style, genre, and themes as long as I feel a sense of connection and accomplishment when playing. Thing is, I don't look down on the casual experience, I love casual distractions, stuff that's lighthearted and basic, but I will never see them as the best example of gaming. That's not a criticism, because there's a place for everything, but yeah, obviously when I want a full on gaming experience, I look for layers of depth in a game, and wherever those layers lie, I just look for them to be pulled off well. If a game accomplishes something very well, I will buy into it.

I'll just put my much personally praised favourite game out there as an example. Majora's Mask wasn't bloody and in your face mature and dark. As a child, I didn't even appreciate some of what it was doig, but it still had everything. The game was tough, the game connected me to the world very strongly, and it gave me great satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment whenever I succeeded at something. Maturity and depth is not in any way correlated to violence, guns, and sex. In fact, adding those things for the SAKE of looking mature is the most immature and puerile thing possible, and shows a complete ****ing ignorance to the entire concept.

Honestly, I would rather play Duke Nukem than most "hardcore mature" games because unlike those, Duke Nukem knows it is being puerile, and of course being immature and puerile is ****ing hilarious, but only when it is acknowledged and understood, and not taking itself as being mature because it is incorporating such things. Duke Nukem, an immature game but actually mature. Get it?

 

[Falconv1.0]

People who call a hobby hardcore make me lol.

 

[john!]

i thought it was obvious that by "hardcore" i didn't mean first-person shooter #23534, i just meant games that respected the skill of the player and provided a fun/challenging experience. if wii u can pull that off, then great.

falcon1.0 being a ret arded troll as always.

 

[Teran]

Lol Wii has those even, so I don't get the big deal.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Funny because Teran usually agrees with me.

So I guess Teran's ******** too. Come on Teran, let's go waddle off in shame.

 

[Teran]

I'm already ashamed to even say I'm a gamer.
