Nintendo is d00med, OH NOEZ

this is the same clown that drove 3DO straight into the ground, he knows nothing about success in the video game industry.

He also owns "digital chocolate" and everyone knows how successful that is

He also tried to make the M2 game system like 10 years ago(we all own that system dont we?)

Army Men, BattleTanx, Heroes of Might and Magic, and High Heat Baseball are the best games in their genres totally.

Seriously, we shouldn't even listen to this guy who runs 2 companies into the ground, and happens to have lots of money in EA to publish a bunch of crap games under more crap lisences!

Null, you say a games just a game. Then you shouldnt choose preference of Mac or PC because "A computer is just a computer" or choosing Chevy over Ford because "A car is just a car".

Competition exists for a reason. I like Nintendo because of their History and thinking outside the box. Not all the time has it been the best of things but at least they aren't afraid to try something new.

But everyone has an opinion. If the company I loved buried itself by going to big corporation, (as said above) the games won't feel the same.

As long as

won't be some slave of M$, I don't think it's that bad.
Microsoft could create the console with a little help of Ninty, Nintendo the controller with some input of M$ and they both could create their own games. That way they can possibly beat Sony...

incorrect, i never said not to have a preference, not once. i said blind loyalty is stupid. and in your examples. blind loyalty to a PC and ignoring all the good things from a mac is stupid. if your going out shopping for a new car. blind loyalty to ford, and dismissing everything chevy has just because its not a ford you can miss out on some good cars.

competition exists to make money, the side effect is that you get better products. dont get that mixed up. its all to make money, if one could kill the other they would do it in a heartbeat.
I always loved nintendo, but thier INABILITY to think outside thier own tiny little world caused me to open my eyes and look around, and i thank nintendo for that. its exactly what i had needed at that time.

Far be it for me to think that all Nintendo consoles were boxes albeit the N64?

LOL... I'm just kidding.

I'm in COMPLETE agreement with Null. I have a preference for the PS2 but when I see a game I like for Gamecube or Xbox, I won't mind playing it.

So if you completely give up gaming because Nintendo was bought by Microsoft in 5 years... it sounds completely ridiculous. Even though Microsoft would own Nintendo... the entity Nintendo still remains and if you won't even support Nintendo after the merger..... then that just defeats the whole purpose of having loyalty for Nintendo in the first place.

If you are truely loyal to Nintendo, or Sony, or Microsoft in any case.... you'll follow them wherever they go......... no matter what decisions they make on the BUSINESS/MARKETING front.

My viewpoint is that if ANY of those 3 companies merged, they would totally dominate the generation and make serious money off each other.

But nonetheless..... giving up on Nintendo if they sold to Microsoft is just competely and utterly ridiculous. Loyal fans??? where???

I'm a Sony-bot, however I like Nintendo and I'll still play their games without hesitation, no matter what happens.

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.

Well cars don't let you play Zelda.

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

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?

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.

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.
