Nintendo fans are hilarious.

They talk about wanting new games and how the Wii will have all these incredible new experiences, yet they complain more than anyone else about not having a new version of "Tired old franchise X". And when something new comes along, they proclaim that "this isn't possible on other consoles, thank god for Nintendo". Yet when new games come out no, one buys them since they're all waiting for the same first party bullshit, then they complain that no one buys third party titles and they get no support.

If Nin-fans want new F-Zero games, they should try fucking buying them when they come out.

Clearly, if every Ninthing on GAF bought F-zero GX, we wouldn't be having this issue today. Clearly.


Also, Captain Rainbow is probably the gayest video game title ever.

Please forgive my lack of Japanese knowledge, but why do people say Iwata-san and Kutaragi-san on videogame forums?  Isn't that some honorific, roughly the same as "Mr. Iwata"?  I mean no one goes around calling Will Wright "Mr. Wright", or Gabe Newell "Mr. Newell" on message boards.

Well, congrats. You got your shitty new IP. Who needs great games like a real Mario or Zelda, when you can have some new original idea, like Captain Rainbow and Wii Music. And let's also ignore whether they'll even be good or not, afterall they're original at least!

As for Iwata, I'm suprised (haha NOT) that no one is making the connection between a lack of hardcore games at E3 on nintendo's part and the company's overall development pipeline. Yeah, there may not be another Mario, or Zelda ready to show, but there wasn't anything there at all. How can one of gaming's most profitable companies with the clear "winner" in the current gen console war not have anything at all when their competitors have half a dozen new games each?

simple, thier internal pipeline for hardcore games is barely there.

Go jump to conclusions off a skyscraper, wii apologist. I wasn't referring to the color palette, but the inanity of the presented gameplay (which looked like the back of the cereal box puzzle level of complexity) and the overwhelmingly nauseating focus on second and third tier mascot characters-the blue diamonds and  purple horseshoes of the nintendo-themed Lucky Charms.

Hey Crushed-this is the second time in two posts you've put words in my mouth. Stop it. The concept shown in the videos looked completely inane-no substance at all, the few gameplay elements that are there seem little more than 'walk here, hit the big button'-and seemed go right for the obscure-loving, throbbing nostalgia monster inside every super hardcore nintendo fan, hitting the same emotions that cause a seven year old to beg his mom at the supermarket for a sugary cereal because it has a toy he wants inside.

the combination of animu 'quirkiness' and nintendo consoles just makes certain people lose bowel control. they have to occur in combination -- the qualitatively identical quirkiness of a random simple 2000 game won't do. it's like an obscure sexual fetish...silk stockings do nothing for them, but SILK STOCKINGS ON A PORTLY GERMAN WOMAN WELL WELL

Lack of Love (LOL) on Dreamcast is pretty fucking awesome, that was Skip I think? I haven't seen anything on this game yet, the way it's making typical N-haters complain means it's probably not gonna be something I'd play, but still hilarious to have around. People who complain about Nintendo's new direction nonstop are just as bad, if not worse, than the 7 year olds who bitch because their parents won't buy them the Lucky Charms cereal with the plastic toy leprechaun inside. To use that car analogy again, it'd be like a professional racer complaining about Kia not making any cars for them.

I'm not sure what anybody at Nintendo has to apologize about. They found a more lucrative market than basement-dwelling gamer nerds. What's so wrong with that?  It's not as if "traditional" Nintendo games weren't already played out.

Good luck, Nintendo, and good riddance.

Kun (君, Kun?) is an informal honorific primarily used towards males (it is still used towards females, but rarely). It is used by persons of senior status in addressing those of junior status, by males of roughly the same age and status when addressing each other, and by anyone in addressing male children. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to. Usually it depends on the relationship between the two people. In business settings, women, particularly young women, may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status. It is sometimes used towards male pets as well.

School teachers typically address male students using kun, while female students are addressed as san or chan. The use of kun to address male children is similar to the use of san when addressing adults. In other words, not using kun would be considered rude in most situations, but, like the rule for using san in reference to family members, kun is traditionally not used when addressing or referring to one's own child (unless kun is part of a nickname: "Akira-kun"—Akkun).

In the Diet of Japan, diet members and ministers are called kun by the chairpersons. For example, Shinzo Abe is called "Abe Shinzō-kun". The only exception was that when Takako Doi was the chairperson of the lower house: she used the san title.

People forget honorifics are usually a pretty bad throwback to completely class/status based societies, and many of them are quite insulting. 

Of course it is. But without honorifics we just have to say people's name in sarcastic or ironic way.

"Oh hello there, Mr. Cohen."

It's a lot less obvious and requires more effort than just throwing out a degrading honorific. Plus you can't really be coy about it.

Since E3 has relatively high visibility outside the gaming industry apparently Nintendo views it as the best way to reach the mainstream.  So they were pushing the casual side of things hard at E3. 

TGS and whatever else is where they view gamers as being the major audience so they may adjust what they present accordingly.  So I heard in a Gametrailers interview with N'gai who had in turn interviewed someone from Nintendo.
