Nintendo games are for people who like to have fun.

A good game doesn't need guns or blood spray.

but why should I have to. If you get to have what you like or will deal with catered to I really dont see a problem from a business angle in approaching what I like either.

I mean its all well and good to reinforce the idea that fun can be had if the right person is put with the right game, but polarized opinions dont ever equal a good discussion.

Post by: brawndolicious on October 28, 2006, 10:28:27 PM: Nintendo games are on average more entertaining to me and usually try newer, much more original ideas then most other games. They're probably the least "old school" so kids probably don't like them that much. And I agree with MAF, this discussion is worthless.
