well its rather amusing that he bought up the analogy that a cars just a car. Would that mean mean if you are 'loyal' to ford, and ford goes out of business that you are never going to buy another car ever again? a good car IS indeed a good car, it doesnt matter who makes it.

thats the way i see games. why should it matter who makes the game? its a videogame. preference is good, absolute devotion is just silly.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

Well cars don't let you play Zelda. :unsure:

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

some do. some have tv's and gamecubes built in :p

but also with that way of thinking, if nintendo was bought by MS, then Xbox whatever would let you play zelda.

see thats the main thing, i couldnt care less if nintendo makes the console themselves. if i still get zelda and the other good games on whatever console. what the hell is the difference?

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

You all can continue thinking its ridiculous, and you know what? I dont care. The intent of this thread wasn't that. Hence, the sarcasm or whatever in the thread title.

I already said the games wouldn't feel the same. And I wouldnt seem to be supporting Nintendo, I'd be supporting Microsoft, which at last check takes months to adjust/fix things. But thats my opinion.

Bling loyal/fanboy'ism? Whats your point? Trying to make me feel so bad to the point that I go cry in the corner. Just because I prefer Nintendo to the others doesnt mean I never think about playing games on other consoles. I have in the past. Someday I'll own an Xbox but not because of Halo/Halo 2, but because of Conker because its shaping up to be a good game and loved the original.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

taking it a bit personally. and no one said anything about your preference. everyone has a preference of which console they like best. you brought preference into this, not anyone else.

but if nintendo went to MS, and i still bought the nintendo game on the MS system, i am still supporting nintendo. just also supporting MS. But, the way you put it, makes it sound like, if 1 cent goes to MS while im trying to support nintendo then its not worth it.

Sorry, i just dont get the idea behind giving up something you like and really hurting the company you like just because some of your money goes elsewhere. a games a game.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

my point exactly...

if a person is loyal to Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft then they should support them in WHATEVER WAY possible.... even if money goes to the partner company.

of course thats my opinion...... and preference was never the issue. people started posting how they would give up gaming if Nintendo went to Microsoft. If anyone is a true gamer they'd still support the entity of Nintendo, no matter what.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

What is trying to be said is that if Nintendo was bought out, then the games wouldn't be the same, therefore "a games a game" wouldn't be correct. The game would then be inferior to what it could be. At least, that is my opinion of what would happen if the company was bought out by MS and they had a controlling interest in what they produced.

Of course, I like Nintendo. It has always been my brand of choice. However, I would surely continue gaming no matter what (CounterStrike: Source is my love right now :D)

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

I am a loyal fan to Nintendo, but I also own all three consoles and am currently playing games for PS2 and XBox. If game is a good game then I will buy it regardless if it is Nintendo or not. Nintendo doesn't have the INABILITY to just think inside their own little world, what makes them great is that they are the only company that thinks outside the box.

You can't honestly tell me if Nintendo had been bought out by Microsoft 5 years ago that there would be talk about a new console going to revolutionize gaming. The reason why I am against a merger is because of the direction Nintendo likes to take the gamer. They like to come up with new and original ideas and Sony and Microsoft just like to improve on whats already existing.

Im not saying that if there was a merger I would no longer support Nintendo, it would just be a very dissapointing and sad day for the video game industry.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

well....... i'm not saying no one would be disappointed... but I can't see Nintendo's fans giving up gaming because of a merger.

I think any real person would be sad if their company got bought out.... but in the longrun their company is still with them in their hearts ( lol )

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

hmm... take a look at this:



http://www.p-nintendo.com/news/N-1064063123.html

and everyone knows that xbox sells like 400 units a week in japan compared to gamecube 25000

xbox leads gc in n. america and that's it, but they are definately in second place worldwide, plus nintendo is actually making money by selling more software, and not at a loss... if anyone quits, it'll be microsoft.. they'll probably not last another losing generation.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

i dont see why it wouldnt be the same tho, it would still be nintendo making the game, Microsoft may say no to a project, saying we dont want to publish a game like that. but they arent going to come in and say hmmm. make ganondorf wear pink shoes. it would be all nintendo making the game.

and you wouldnt be worried about what it 'could be' because you'd be hapy of what it is. it would still be a game and therefor, a games a game.

However, i should rephrase that to say, a good game is a good game.


(whats your name in CSS?, should play sometime)

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

I bet bill gates would step in and say something about making Zelda appear more racier.... lol... but other than that I dun think Nintendo would let Microsoft interfere with their games if they got bought.... Microsoft can only trash a project, not alter it........i hope...

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

Sorry Crash but that's bullcrap and you know it. M$ won't leave the console market. Never. They have enough money to monopolize that market as well. In the end they are going to win unless somebody has a VERY good plan to stop them.

Even though Nintendo still makes a lot of money, they are losing ground. :(

Not saying that I don't have faith in Nintendo. :D

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

No one is going to drop the console market unless they aren't seeling at all. As long as their is a fan base for anything, they will remain.

Didn't you wonder how Sega left? Cuz the Tri-minion of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft stole their fanbase.

Re: Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ
 

Ah Crash...Thank you for that wonderful post :)
