Re: The State of Nintendo [by Vampyr]
I will admit that I have been pretty much a fanboy of Nintendo ever since the NES. I have argued in school countless times that Nintendo is still the best out there. Usually it seemed that I'm the only one arguing for Nintendo. I couldn't look past my fanboyism to realize that Nintendo is falling.
I can now say that I have moved past my fanboyism considering I am now mainly a PC gamer. Nintendo's games, however, still have a grip on me. They are almost always of the highest quality, and I often borrow friends' consoles so that I can play through Mario Sunshine, Zelda WW, and Metroid Prime. I now realize that Nintendo's games are the only thing that kept me coming back after I decided not to get a Gamecube.
I know this is the reason that many people get Nintendo's systems. Many of my friends complain there are no good games besides Nintendo's. Many have the GC for Nintendo's games and either a PS2 or X-Box for "all the other games."
Nintendo has to realize this soon. The Gamecube is not popular because of it's stellar game library. It's popular for Ninty games. Games released on all the systems are usually better on PS2 and XBox for various reasons anyway. The sooner Ninty realizes this and ducks out of hte console business the better.
The bottom line, Nintendo, is that we will all still love and buy your games even if they are on a different system. Save your money from your failing stance in the console business to develop even more stellar games.
