[Autumn ♫]

It's official. I'm hungry with all this food talk...

Very fitting song:

You have made this conversation all the more interesting. Reminds me of me after school.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Ok to make up for creepy flying tomato childeren, here's Mewtwo vs Deoxys:

 

[Deleted member]

I wish I could cook. It'd be great to finally be able to make my own food.

 

[CombustingFetus]

I guess you could say we're all hungry for Smash news.

Where the f*** is Mewtwos spoon sword?

 

[FlareHabanero]

This discussion of food reminds me of the song "Shaberu! DS Cooking Navi" from Brawl which in turn reminds me of Cook Kirby.

 

[Big-Cat]

Nothing beats mother's home made.

Unless she was a horrible cook.

 

[Oasis_S]

And what about food Straight from your maid?! I cooked it with extra Strength, just for you~

[Moon Monkey]

This was the best flying tomato picture I could find. Yes, it creeps me out to. But knowing you, you'd probably like it.

WTF!? LOL!!! I hope these things are in Pikmin 3 because I want to throw rock pikmin in their faces until they make ketchup. Their so cute!

[~automatic]

All food can be wonderful and amazing as long as it's made with great ingredients and is prepared with love (or lustful contempt for one's health).

Can't believe I missed out on food pics time.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oasis' birthday is today?!?

Well then.

I hope you become even Stronger this year.

 

[Oasis_S]

You're three minutes late and Manly already posted that video and are you saying I'm not already the Strongest wow worst birthday ever thank you.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You're welcome. We were trying

Glad to see we succeeded

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You're three minutes late and Manly already posted that video and are you saying I'm not already the Strongest wow worst birthday ever thank you.

See if I wish you a happy birthday next year.

 

[Oasis_S]

AWH I DIDN'T MEAN IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH SWAMPASAUR.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

AWH I DIDN'T MEAN IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH SWAMPASAUR.

It's too late.

The emotional Scars are too deep.

I probably won't recover. I'm not as Strong as you.

Your very welcome.

 

[Big-Cat]

Ok, now there are two threads I'm not going back into.

 

[FalKoopa]

A bit late, but happy birthday to Croph.

I hope it's still May 6th there.

 

[CombustingFetus]

See if I wish you a happy birthday next year.

I'm going to be honest and suggest that you will probably forget.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

CROPH HAD A BIRTHDAY TOO!!!

Happy birthday Croph!

I'm going to be honest and suggest that you will probably forget.

At least I will have everyone saying happy birthday to remind me.

Nintendo is a weird company... Though I'm sure it will pull itself out of the rut it is currently in.

The hand-held 3DS gaming device has also been a disappointment outside of Japan.

Almost stopped reading at this point. Almost.

Some new Wii U features, like the touchscreen-equipped controller feel convoluted, and less innovative compared to technologies like Microsoft's Kinect camera.

>Implying Kinect is something innovative.

Totally not biased. (sarcasm)

Nintendo is adamant that it won't release its games for smartphones, despite the fact that they'd likely be instant top sellers.

I don't think it would be comfortable playing Super Mario Bros. on my Android phone, but whatever.

[...] but looking at the success that companies like Square Enix have had reissuing its Final Fantasy titles on the iPhone, what real harm is there in offering games like Super Mario Brothers? Nobody is going to buy a Nintendo 3DS just to download that from the eStore.

See above. Also, you can't compare Nintendo to a third party company like Square Enix. Nintendo releasing SMB to an iPhone would compromise their own 3DS market. It would be like Sony releasing a God of War game to smartphones: not gonna happen.

Since the days of the Nintendo 64, it's always been pretty easy to see when, where and why Nintendo was going to stumble as a company.

And yet, it stays alive and dominating the portable video game market, notably in Japan, but quite well outside of that country.

Comparing 3DS games to simple smartphone games isn't a very viable argument. Any sane mind knows that comparing deep games like Kid Icarus: Uprising and Fire Emblem: Awakening to simplistic arcade games like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja is not possible.

BEHOLD THE TEA SERVING TECHNIQUE THAT'S BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!

Edit: I had to upload a new avatar for the first time ever just now. Stupid new forums and their big avatars. At least now I'm no longer blurry. HIGH DEFINITION.

@ Frostwraith, yeah I agree the guy was a little to hard and direct on his points. However, the handheld market is in trouble when you take into account iphones. People are going to get phones no matter what and now that they can play games on phones, it gives them less incentive to get a gaming system when they already have one with their phone. One of the reasons PS2 was the best selling consoles was the fact you could watch DVDs and listen to Music on it. Don't underestimate the dual systems. Technical is heading towards uniting the PC, Video Game Console, Phone, VCR, and Television all into one device.

I kind of went off track there, basically I just wanted to post the link to get people's thoughts and for your reading enjoyment. No real opinion on my side.

The question is that smartphones don't have deep and sophisticated games such as the ones you find on the 3DS or Vita.

While the common mortal may be satisfied with little games like Angry Birds, other people like games with more depth like those found on 3DS and Vita.

 

[Big-Cat]

I'm afraid to see "button heavy" games on smartphones. I know Street Fighter and Soul Calibur are on the iOS, but given my ability to wear things down fast, I'd likely break my phone just doing combos.

Agree with your points totally but they are getting more sophisticated overtime as he quoted Final Fantasy's appearance. Plus if people still loved sophistication, PC would still be dominant as they can still produce the best graphics and depth. It is kind of scary times for gaming industry with the movement in technology.

Apple and other Phone companies are more of a threat to Nintendo now, IMO, then Sony and Microsoft.

You mention the common mortal (casual gamer) and that is true. The problem is there may not be enough gamers such as yourself out there to keep the industry a float if the casuals stray away from console purchases.

The problem is that the 'common mortal' is getting progressively dumber. Attention spans are shrinking and traditional gaming as a hobby is shrinking. Some of the best games are handhelds (Professor Layton, Pokemon, etc.) but now it's getting to the point that people don't care about quality. All they want is a cheap and quick escape. Let's hope that the trend doesn't hurt the video game industry too much.

In other words, we're in the "junkfood crisis" as I'd like to call it.

This so much. I agree entirely with your points.

Somewhere during the turn of the century, people stopped caring about quality and now the companies are exploiting it for quick money. Even Nintendo can be considered guilty of this with the many Mario games they release per year.

I mean, I don't consider myself a very competitive gamer, but I like games with some depth. You could say I'm somewhere between the typical casual gamer and the competitive hardcore gamer.

This raises an interesting question: Why do you play Video Games?

The answer for myself is probably to experience a story from the Protagonist's eyes, and to of course, have fun while challenging my mind in different ways. Heaven forbid I ever pick up a copy of Battlefield or Call of Duty: Black Ops.
