you find yourself compulsively stabbing yourself in the dick with a pencil, and eventually you'll find a way to rationalize it as fun, too.

demi's argument makes sense.  maf, you play dynasty warriors, you CAN NOT make that argument.

Back when I worked at a game store, we used to always laugh at Nintendo 64 boxes, which were marked with the slogan "THE FUN MACHINE."

This has become the norm for Nintendo consoles.  Few releases worth getting, too many releases spaced apart, and then after a few years, the competition dominates it and N-Tards eagerly await getting fucked in the ass by the next Nintendo system:

Nintendo 64 is released.  People buy it for Mario.  Then there's Wave Race, Star Fox, Goldeneye, Zelda, Zelda MM, and...uh...uhm, hmm...uh...Donkey...Kong?  But this system sucked from the start, so whatever.

The Game Cube!  Yeah, this is more like it...Nintendo has caught up with everyone else.  Oh, but then around 2003 it pretty much dies.  At least we got two good years out of it and more software worth getting than the shitty N64!

The Wii: YEAH WAGGLE N NUNCHUCKS N SHIT YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hey this Wii Sports game is kinda fun!  Hey Warioware!  Hey Excite Truck!  Hey...a...port of that Zelda game!  But we got it first on Wii!  Yeah!  Hey...Wario is already over?  Hey...where's the next game?  Hey a PORT OF RESIDENT EVIL 4!!!  I already played it 10 times, but YEAH!!  Oh, it's over again.  Hmm.  Uh...hmm...uh...WELL MARIO IS COMING!  AND SMASH!  After that...uh...hmm...uhm...

They seem quite content to just get rehashes of their favorite series every 3 or 4 years. When was the last time Nintendo created a real game franchise/new IP? If you say Nintendogs you need to be banned.

Nintendo doesn't care about gamers, and why should they? Millions of grandmas are perfectly content to buy the Wii every holiday and quickly forget about it by new years

small children don't get tired of watching the same movie over and over
grown up nintendo fans don't get tired of playing the same franchises over and over

children become men, only to revert back to childhood ways :(

they never became men. when i saw that 20-something ninthing fall to his knees the day of the metroid prime release and howl "i've been waiting 10 years for this!" in a twee voice, i realized that adult priorities will never factor into a zealot's worldview :'(

Wow, you really saw that? I would have loved to be there-sounds even worse than the harry potter folk I had to deal with when picking up a midnight-opening of the last book for my wife (who consumes all pulp fantasy in the same way I consume bearded man strategy games). they had the little harry potter scar magic marker'd on their babies' foreheads and were in full loser regalia. Note that costume play isn't all that bad, just keep it in your house and completely kinky, thanks.

Everyone has Ntard stories. I once sat at the same table with this dude who swore that the Gamecube was a better system than the PS2, by far - in terms of games. He also didn't believe RE4 could be done on the PS2 because it "couldn't do the blood textures"

This was before RE4 PS2 was heard of obviously

yeah but that's just shitbag fanboy talk

drinky was referring to something that sounded like it was straight out of some sort of ninthing jesus camp, where communion was taken from the fresh water of hyrule fountain and the altar boys were sodomized with luigi's own plunger.

SNES I got because it was the fucking SNES.  N64 I got because my friends and I would go to each other's houses like every day and play split-screen games so I figured it's a good idea to also get it and share controllers.  GCN I got because I liked N64 (thought not obsessed with the franchises) but very quickly started to also like the xbox that gen.  Waggle I got for who the fuck knows what reason.  I already had a 360 and I didn't want a PS3 but I figured it's good to get two systems.

For real?  Why would someone wait 10 years for Metroid Prime 3?

I've been waiting 13 years for Super Metroid 2, at least that's something worth begging for.

another interesting point-is it possible to reconcile nintendo fandom with modernity, in a video game sense? I can't help but think that the DS/Wii ninthing fanaticism is at least partially due to the rejection of modern game design elements (and no, waggle is not a design element of a game, only an interface enabler) by the same fans.

frag, that theory would make more sense if they were gamers that just started in the last few years.  not the normal 20 year old.

You know I use to be on the anti-N boat around 3D0/Jag/early Saturn/PSX time, but I saw where that train was headed and bailed.  Seeing it did end up like I feared, I am glad.  It was sort of like, "I don't want to get the point where I'll pick a less enjoyable game over the better game, just because the better game has too many bright colors."  And that sort of thinking extends to many other facets.

* The most common side effects of fun are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.

* If fun lasts for more than four hours seek immediate medical help.

*Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should not handle Wii.
