Why do people bash and hate nintendo? If it wasn't for nintendo and sega too, Video games will probably never happen again, you won't get COD or AMAZING GRAPHICS, as some people said, Stop with the hating, Nintendo and Sega FOREVER!!!, Thank you two for saving video games.

FYI: it was this crash that made pc gaming growth beyond expectation in europe and asia (including some part of america and other places) and gave rise to larger 3rd party developers which includes most of PC devs like valve, MS, which also include Apple mac as dev env. If u check the info most of todays console devs were actually pc devs back after this big crash in business.

Nintendo takes credit to save home consoles but actually this crash helped PC/Mac(/linux) grow in every aspect.

@SuperSoundwave100 say that to yahtzee

[RPST10]

@ThisNameIsBanned And funding, the passion of the developers and the experience and games under their belt plays a large part and making a pretty good game. Thanks for the chat it's been an enlightening conversation with you.

[RPST10]

@ThisNameIsBanned True that ..............

[ThisNameIsBanned]

@teddy12300 Well for some games the moving part is great, the different technologies do a good job for that.

However, were you are god damn right is that not every game should have a motion aspect.

But for that, we have different games, each is for a different group with different intrests, and thats way better than having a simpel "Mainstream" console with mainstream games and no alternative.

Diversity is what makes the game market good for everyone.

[ThisNameIsBanned]

@RPST10 Not necessary.

Its just "too less time = bad quality".

Just time alone wont make your game good.

Best example, Duke Nukem Forever.

The game either has a good idea, or it has not.

Time will not change the basics of good game design ; you can polish with extra ressources and time, but a bad game, still is a bad game, polishing shit will not make it a diamond. (But you are welcome to try, just dont blame me if your hands are covered in shit)

[RPST10]

Other moral of the video : Time = Quality

[ZetaSimsoy]

So PC gaming saved games, and Nintendo saved the home console and are now getting their asses handed to them by their grand children. Haha.

[TommyD758]

@SuperSoundwave100 Video games WOULD have survived either way because of PC gaming. I mean we would lose beloved games from Nintendo, Sega, etc but there would still be video games either way.

[darthd101]

@teddy12300 But the problem with that is, you can sit down, and it doesn't take that much to do it. Skyward Sword, one of the most interactive games on Wii, never hurt your arm and was good for relaxing.

[teddy12300]

@darthd101 yay but i dont like kinect or ps3 move if i wanted to play a motion game i would play wii but i play videogame sto sit down relax and have fun not stand up and wave my arms
