I don't know how 'loyal' of a Nintendo fan BaB is.
This generation has really disappointed me. Maybe I've just been to busy since I've been in college during this generation, but nothing has really made me jump out of my seat. Even my DS ended up being incredibly disappointing compared to my GBA. I'll remember this gen as:
-Motion Controls
-Super Expensive Consoles
-Red Rings of Death
-Sequels, Sequels, and more fucking Sequels
-Online Console gaming still SUCKS ASS, especially what Nintendo has. The only good thing about the Wii is it is very easy to sync with a Wireless network.
-TF2 (reinforcing my belief that PC Gaming > Console Gaming)
Seriously, the N64/PSX/GBA marked the last consoles that really blew my pants off and tickled my jewels. The Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 left me with some pretty sweet memories...GTA3/Vice City, Twisted Metal Black, Pikmin, Wind Waker, Halo, Jet Set Radio Future....
I just haven't felt impacted in a major way by the new consoles. I remember when the SNES blew my mind (I'm a little too young for the NES). I remember when the GBA blew my mind. When the Genesis blew my mind. I remember going through 2 double A batteries every few days with my GBC....oh man.
This generation is definitely one where I have gone back and dugg up some old PC titles. Been playing me some Counter-Strike...and I have been going back and visiting some classic titles like Sonic and Sonic 2 on the Genesis. And NBA Jam. Damn!
I dunno...maybe I need to go find the fun in gaming. As for motion controls. They are so restrictive....I pretty much share the same thoughts as Yahtzee...
Motion Controls in
Casual gaming and in
Serious gaming:
Casual
-Works great for some games: Wii Golf
-Is absolutely horrible for other games like basketball, bowling, boxing, canoeing
-Is decent for games like Baseball
Serious
-Can add depth to serious gaming
-Can make serious gaming MORE annoying
-People game because it is a RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY. When people game they want to sit on their ass and do minimal "waggling" as Yahtzee describes it. Amen to that.
Anyway....I can't wait to put that Sony Anal Wand in my ass.
