the narrative is already beginning to form. this isn't nintendo's capitualtion, it's a genius ruse. they'll put just a taste out on the mobile skid skid row and before long those poor lost junkies will be scraping at the door of the big N. they'll do anything for a proper hit and when the new clunky handheld based on half decade old tech rocks up, there will be queues around the block.

game, set and match, mobiles.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually the thought process inside Nintendo HQ. They are just deluded enough it seems like something they'd do.

Nah, the Touch Generations line was the huge casual thing before the iPhone existed. Brain Age sold 19 million copies.

You could probably debate whether those were "games," though, I suppose.

Yeah, but Touch Generations fizzled out shortly after that, didn't it? I even remember Nintendo reprinting a bunch of games I have (like Brain Age) to put the Touch Generations sticker on the box art to attempt to get more people to buy that stuff. It's like as soon as the iPhone hit it was over for that thing.

Tasty · « **Reply #26588 on:** March 17, 2015, 05:40:23 PM »

I think Touch Generations died late in 2006 when the Wii launched. Then motion controls became the new hotness.

But there definitely was a time pre-iPhone that "touch gaming" was a buzzword, and the DS controlled the segment.

Sure. But the only point of contention I'd bring up is that Nintendo didn't invent this. Touch screen gaming's been around forever. Though PDAs weren't the most popular thing ever, they did exist for quite a while before hand and did have some games on them. Further, those stupid multi-game coin-ops have existed in bars for almost as long as I can remember. So though the DS may have been the first mainstream breakthrough in terms of mass consumer adoption goes, it's not as though the idea of using touch controls instead of buttons and a d-pad/joystick was an alien concept before Nintendo Dogs came along.

I think the word the poster used was "popularized," which the DS did do. PDA games sucked. So did bar games.

Obviously, the iPhone took it even further, but the DS was the first device people really started paying attention to touch gaming with if we're being honest.

I obviously didn't mean the DS was the first touch-screen device capable of playing games. By "wasn't really a thing," I meant no one really though touch screens would go anywhere in gaming. I thought this'd be pretty obvious.

Has anyone else gone through this?

I think it is because in this mix of differing cultures and personalities, those who stand out the greatest are those who literally are the most negative stereotypes for each of their races.

I don't let this affect my choices in life that at all relate to race, but something feels different. Like I have slightly more hate in my system than I usually do.

I know these individuals are far from representing their race as a whole and I have known this fact throughout most of my life, so I don't understand why I feel this way.

Is this normal or am I just a shit person?

This feeling also applies to the stereotypes of my own race.

Edit:

To clarify:

Examples

- I am walking down the path to a class and I have to cross the street. I almost get hit by a car. I look in the car and its this Asian kid.
- I go to a party at a frat and a guy knocks a cup out my friends hand for literally no reason and laughs. Hes a white frat kid.

Copynpasta'd from a post I made because I think it makes a bit more sense.
