Now here is something you don't see being asked every day. Despite the regular ***** fit over Nintendo that we see almost daily, we're actually surprised that nobody built up the courage to ask all of you this one simple question. Until now.
If you are a member of this site and are reading this, once you're done reading this, I want you to answer this question. Why? Because I want something from you. I want your answers. I want the general core gamers opinion on Nintendo. I want it as soon as possible. And I encourage you to spread this question all over the Internet. Nintendo needs to see this. Yes, I'm asking you to let Nintendo know of this. Tell them to look all over the Internet for this question. Prehaps then, Nintendo will listen to you and as many of your demands as possible.
Here is the question I want each and every one of you to ask?
Do you, the person who is on the Internet reading this question, think that Nintendo is responsible for neglecting the needs of the core gamers? If so, how severely have Nintendo negelected the core gamers?
It would be no fun if I left it as that. So lets get my opinion out of the way first.
Everyone and their dog knows of Nintendo. You know, the company that saved gaming, made so many groundbreaking titles, put gaming into the third-dimension, and what's this? Motion controls? Why would I want to wave my arms over the screen when I could sit on my butt and use traditional controllers, you know, like what's on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360?
Because motion controls is a revolution. Something that has never been done before. Okay, I will admit that we did have the Power Glove, but that was terrible and the world wasn't ready for it. And beside, it probably didn't do too well. But, the Nintendo Wii knocked our socks off like no other things did. This was something unexpected, something that put core gamers in a rage, something to attract casual gamers.
Casuals, casuals, casuals. Why should those fowl beings be allowed in here? They don't come for Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, they come for exercise equipments, gimmicks, and nothing more. But look at it this way. Casual gamers are actually saving the industry. After all, we were casual gamers, right? Because before we first touched that controlled and played that wonderful game that got us into gaming, we had no knowledge of the gaming world. It was obscure to us, a blur, something that didn't exist. But, we decided to take that controller and experiment with it and we were hooked. Soon, we were playing that game pratically religiously and wanted more. We craved more of video games. We wanted to see how awesome that form of entertainment it really was.
Movies? Yeah, you'll watch that movie a few times before you put it down for good. Musics? Good for MP3 players, but it's not something you want to listen to day and night. Books? Probably nobody consider it as a favorite activity.
But gaming to us is like a sibiling, a cousin, a teacher even. It's something we be part of, an adventure that lasts for hundreads of hours. If anyone could have been the best teacher of gaming, that would be Nintendo.
Gaming would be nowhere without Nintendo. Face it, it would be dead, or at least extremely niche. But Nintendo made a character name Mario, and not only did he save the Princess, he also saved video games.
Give credit when it's due. Everyone here should at least give credit to Nintendo for actually saving the video game industry and propelling it to the the marketing extragavanza it is today. I mean you got all of these franchises and genres, there is such a variety, it's almost not possible to not find one game that you like nowadays.
And now, I answer what you people have mentally begged for, my opinion on the situation.
Do I think Nintendo has been neglecting the core audience from the NES, SNES, and N64? We could answer this right now, but we need to go a little indepth first.
I had an Nintendo 64, which I consider to be my all-time favorite video game system. It got me into gaming in December, 1999 with Super Mario 64, an excellent game. 3D was new back then and we were getting out of the two dimension we all knew and loved. I got an Playstation 2 on December, 2001. Mine broked in June, 2003. I got another one and that broked on June, 2005. But I had an Nintendo 64, so I could play some of my favorite games. Sadly, it's doom would follow. On November, 2007, I got an report from my dad that he accidently broked the system.
I was devastated. I couldn't believe how this god of a system could get killed. I loved that thing so much, it quite litterally influenced me. It was a sad day in my gaming career.
Fast forward to today and I have a Wii. And in my opinion, the Wii is an great systems, Hundreads of great games, plus a ton of potentially awesome gaming coming as well such as Monster Hunter Tri, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the list goes on. Nintendo still retains the spirit of it's past generations. If I had to rate the company, I'd give them an well-deserved nine out of ten.
I do wish they didn't neglect the Virtual Console or there franchises thought.
So overall, I'm going to have to say yes, but very mildly to the point that they still care.
