^this, expect that Nintendo ruined it by stopping the creativity and rehashing the same s*** over and over and over and over and..... :lol: and also they wanted to make everything family friendly and casual, if you've played the old yoshi's island with the drug inducing bad guys and Conkers Bad Fur Day and compare that to the new s***, then the current Nintendo sucks..... But I still buy every system they make because I too started and grew up since the NES days.
I do agree that they got a bit soft with the Wii, and the controls left a lot to be desired, but there were a lot of good games still, and I applaud them for trying new things. I can see why people might think constantly recreating Mario and Zelda gets old, but there's plenty of us that want new Mario and Zelda games, plus they're always adding new ideas to the games to make them more fun. I still go back and play Super Mario 2 and 3, some of the best games ever.
But aside from the franchise games, Dead Space, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil, Xenoblade Chronicles, Red Steel were just some of the awesome titles. Right there you have a sci-fi shooter, a fps, 3rdper adventure/shooter, rpg, and hack and slash. That's the kind of diversity I want in a system, and those games are def not kiddy. The new Wii U is also putting out some great games, again aside form the main franchise games you have the new Splinter Cell, Bayonetta, and Batman Arkham City is just amazing. It's almost like because there's so many choices, everyone's not just playing the same game, so it's not getting the massive amount of exposure like the other systems.
Have to agree with you there. The order 1886 was like that, great graphics but no actual gameplay. Game informer called it an interactive movie
I didn't know that still existed either, most of the mags from my days are shut down except for PC Gamer, and well I guess Game Informer as well :lol: The internet killed the need for game magazines. I use to get Nintendo Power cause you'd get to some parts of a game where there was some ridiculous puzzle, like in Castlevania Simon's Quest where you had to get some red crystal, go to the graveyard, and kneel at a wall for like 5 min before some damn tornado came and took you to the next level. How the f*** were you supposed to figure that cryptic s*** out!
