Gamers vs. Nintendo

For some people the birth of their gaming life came with Nintendo.  Some of the greatest systems and greatest games of all time.

That’s why it bothers me to hear people talk bad about the Wii. I don’t think that Wii, or for that matter, Nintendo is the problem. I think that we the gamers are the problem. Most people think that Wii is a low standard system. I think the Wii is a Nintendo system. If you think back over the years, Nintendo has always had the same stance. A casual system with fun games for everyone.

Gamers as a community has evolved past Nintendo. We need better graphics and great online play. Nintendo continues to hold their stance. So the question is: Who’s right? We are focused on the 360 and the PS3 when maybe Microsoft and Sony could take a few lessons from Nintendo. How many faulty Nintendo systems have you ever had? How many games has the Sixaxis controller ever been fun?

Then you think Nintendo could learn from Microsoft and Sony. Maybe Nintendo should try to at least appeal their core audience.  So really it’s about saying there is not a bad system out there.  It’s all about what you prefer or what you might give a chance.

    yes, junegore you are right… i never took the time to sit down and play the Wii and said bad stuff about it and said i didnt like it, but when i actually sat down and took the time to play the Wii and see what it had to offer i now like the Wii and i took back everything i said about the Wii… And the games that Nintendo has for the Wii are really fun and addictive…. So yeah June i agree with you all the way man…..

    True dude i own a
    ( Wii ) and they are really fun but am kinda sad on the other hand because the games are more based around young population these days but not saying its a bad thing but for me its hard to choose a good game for them..

    Only games i actually own for the wii is ( The Grudge, House Of The Dead 2&3, New Super Mario ) only games i could find that's decent without all the kiddie stuff

    but i love it no matter what Nintendo has always been a good system and company
