Nintendo is aming for short and kiddie games.

You know whats even more shocking? How video game systems are mareketed towards kids.[/truth][/sarcasm]

That\'s not shocking.. We all KNEW that!

Poor little nintendo....

nintendo will always suck, i looked at the xbox and thought nah i looked at ps2 and thought hell yeah and got 1 but i didnt even bother looking a NGC coz i knew it would be a kiddy piss of **** like the N64 was the only reason i had an N64 was coz of the wrestling titles. NGC is only for kiddys and gamers who have no skills, PS2 is for grown ups and advanced gamers.

Wtf is that supposed to mean?  For gamers with no skillz?  Please enlighten me about what makes earning all platinum medals in Rogue Squadron 2 so goddamn easy?  Hell, you didn\'t even try the damn thing and wrote it off simply because it\'s made by Nintendo so what exactly do you know about anything?  You just made the sh*t list faster than anyone else on this board for pure stupidity.

nintendo games require no skill?? Yeah right! I find most of my games on n64 harder than many of my psx/ps2 games

What happened to your atavarr Ryu? Who is that dude in your pic?

It\'s ROck Howard from Garou (Mark of the Wolves) for the Neo Geo/Dreamcast, a sequel to the Fatal Fury franchise.  He is also in Capcom Vs SNK 2 for the Playstation 2.

Y\'know this just goes to prove how insecure some people are.  Yes I am buying Pikmin, yes I do still enjoy Pokemon (it\'s more fun than 90% of the games out there).

If you can get around the fact that Pikmin look like teletubbies with flowers on their heads you can realize that maybe it isn\'t so bad after all.  

Does it matter so much that for all we know Celda is exactly the same game as the SW2000 Zelda but in a different graphical style?

I don\'t see anyone fretting over Jak and Daxter.  

Yes, we may see shorter games from Nintendo.  Not to say that Max Payne, Grand Theft Auto 3, or Metal Gear Solid 2 were grand epics of 30+ hours of gameplay.

Why do I not see people crediting Nintendo for what they\'ve done to appeal to older audiences?

They say ignorance is bliss.  I guess they\'re right.

GTA3 is not a short game.  I don\'t care who you are or where you come from, but you can\'t simply beat GTA3 in a single long sitting.  I\'m sorry, but that\'s just not the way it is.  I know people, in Nintendo forums no less, who have played that game for the past month and are still on the third island and they play the game intensly.  It\'s not that they suck at it, it\'s just that the game is so damn fun.

Yes GTA is fun.

Not really.  That policy only just started... in 1985.

Those who write off Nintendo because it\'s games are suitable for young people are really missing out.

It all boils down to personal taste, though.  I know some people can only go for a Resident Evil and would never even look at a Banjo-Kazooie.

Those of us who can enjoy both are lucky, though.  We have twice as many good games to play.

That\'s an excellent point you make! It is 100% totally up to the gamers taste. Hey I rented a GC, I love playing Star Wars, it\'s fun as hell, but for me I won\'t go buy a system just for a handful of games I might like.  And I\'m real sorry, but you could tell me Pokemon is the best game ever developed. That\'s your right!!! ME, I could care less about it,  I\'m not into any cartoonish like games, on any system for that matter. And again that\'s just my taste.  I know someone will comeback and say evergame is cartoonish, but I would disagree. There\'s a huge difference in they way the games characters are rendered. More power to Nintendo(I can\'t believe I called them by thier real name) for wanting to concentrate on kiddy style games.
Thats thier right and it\'s any gamers right to have the freedom of CHOICE

I think some of you have some serious emotional problems, for the simple reason you are overly insecure about playing game without adult theme\'s and enjoying yourselves. If half of you all took the time to play a game like Pikmin which is original and fun (more than can be said about most games now\'a\'days) you would realize a game doesn\'t have to be violent or mature to be FUN and isn\'t that why we started playing games in the first place? To have fun? I know that is how I started playing games.

As for the totally moronic comment about the PS2 being for gamers with "advanced skillz". That is total bull****. Ryu already pointed out one example of a GC game requiring skill (RS2), so I\'ll point out another one. Rent Pikmin and tell me if you can get all 40 parts in the "20 days" the game gives you on first try or without having to plan ahead.

Here is another double standard for all of you, it amazes me how esatic everyone was when Naughty Dog unveiled Jax and Dexter  - an obvious clone of Mario 64! Yes, it is a great clone of Mario64 but it is still a clone of a "kiddie game". Hell, for that matter, none of you are complaining about Jax and Dexter being too "kiddie"... Oh, I forget.. It is on the PS2 therefor it isn\'t "kiddie".....


:rolleyes:

Jax and Dexter is too "kiddie" for me...
Happy now? I don\'t care what system it\'s on. They may be fun, I\'m just not intrested. That doesn\'t mean you can\'t enjoy it. Some people just don\'t like "kiddie" games. You can\'t say they are not gamers just because they don\'t like "kiddie" games. It\'s kinda like saying, you can\'t watch movies and enjoy them unless you watch Anime.... :rolleyes:

Some people love Anime some don\'t, who cares? Watch what you like. Play the games that YOU like.
