What if we are a big fan of Nintendo but much prefer Sony over it? Or Microsoft?

*Psiko* · 08-08-2006, 05:11 PM

I'm so totally in on this. I've been on the Nintendo bandwagon since the NES days, and there is yet to be any system that, in my eyes, can compare to the NES and SNES. Back in those days, Nintendo was a God in the gaming industry. Since then, with the loss of major RPGs, I've purchased more from Sony due to the mass quantity of RPGs produced on the Playstations. But you know, I'm so totally getting a Wii as soon as I am able to!

To recap: Old Skool Nintendo pwns all!

As long as you are a fan of Nintendo you can join. This club will only look at the world of Nintendo but you can compare Nintendo to Sony or Microsoft and why you like them better.

In fact that is a interesting question why do you like the other two better? I can see liking Playstation better now that most of the FF titles (and many other great game titles) have jumped to their console, but I myself don't like Microsoft and feel that Halo is it's saving grace. I still prefer Nintendo by far because I feel that they are often the most innovative video game company and as a console company they still are able to create many of my favorite games. I mean they must be doing something right to have held on in a highly competitve market for over twenty years. What do you think?

Also Psiko you are in.

com1k · 08-10-2006, 05:41 PM

hey man i am totally digging your ideal for a club how do i join it? man it sounds pretty sweet my first two consoles were the accomindor 64 and the snes lol

com1k · 08-10-2006, 06:09 PM

sorry i have actually decided to start my own club but your club sounds kick ass man

Morik the Rogue · 08-11-2006, 01:13 AM

Well, here we go! We have a club!

Yeah...It seems to me that Myamota-sama has single handedly kept Nintendo afloat. The Gamecube, while a perfectly good system, didn't do too well. May have had something to do with the lack of games for it. It pretty much just had the usual standby's; Zeld, Mario, and the like. It really didn't have much else to encourage one to buy it.

But now, it seems that Nintendo just might reclaim a dominant position in the console wars. I think Sony may very well have blown it with the PS3. Who is gonna pay six-hundred bucks for a game console? Well me, but that's not the point! When Christmas comes aropund and the parents are shopping for a game console, which one do you think they'll buy? The $600 PS3, the $300 360, or the one-hundred semod dollar Wii? You guessed it. The Wii.

Of the three consoles the Wii will be my first aquisition. I mean come on, it's cheepest, it'll {supposedly} have Nintendo's whole backlog, that new controller, as well as Zelda and Mario. The 360 has Halo 3. The PS3, has a $600 price tag, FF{I assume so anyway...}, and MGS4.

This could be one of the all time greatest comebacks.

I definatly agree with that. I think the biggest mistake that Nintendo made was to release the N64 as a cartridge based system, when everyone else was going to CD. I understand that the had their reasons but it was that decision that made a number of the game producers and game players jump to Sony. That seems to have carried over into the gamecube generation, people were just use to buying the PSX and liked their games so many stuck to it.

This also seems very likely to me. I think that the PS3 has made a mistake by creating their console with blue-ray technology and driving the prices sky high (I mean come on $600, I'd rather buy a desktop computer.) My guess is that many people will buy the Wii at 250$ or the Xbox 360 which just dropped to 300$. I myself am for sure going with the Wii because nintendo makes the best games in my mind.

Here's a question what are your favorite Nintendo games (both games by nintendo and games on a nintendo system)? I really enjoy the old school games such as Kid Icarus, Super mario 3, FFIV, and pretty much any zelda game.

I prefer those cartridges, as loads of my old PS games don't work, they freeze after a few minor scratches, but apart from needing a few blows all my N64 games still work.

Well LOZ is my favourite game series, with most of it's games rating in my top 10 and 20, I love the Metroid series (duh) and am still suprised they never took off in Japan, I still rate Pokemon quite highly.
And Mario games like 64 and Sunshine I love, I still like 2-d ones, but they're just too easy nowadays.
And Tetris, you know the creator only chose Nintendo over Sony but they were not bothered about profits, and treated him better than Sony did.

How in the world did I forget metroid! Those games are sweet. I remeber the first time I beat the original Metroid on the NES and was like no way Samus is a girl (I was shocked).

I also forgot the castlvania series they were awsome. I still enjoy playing many of the old ones.

-Xu- · 08-11-2006, 09:30 AM

I knew.

I honestly never thought Metroid would work in 3-D, but Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are two of the best games on the GC, with their sweet, sweet boss battles.
And Hunters is brilliant on the DS, especially the wifi element.

Judgemaster Gabranth · 08-11-2006, 09:39 AM

How about metroid?Can We talk about that too?

-Xu- · 08-11-2006, 09:55 AM

I don't think Max is bothered about post counts but add more to your posts, and what you like about Nintendo, give a valid reason for wanting to join.
ie, favourite console, your best games, and discuss it.
You like Metroid, well what do you like about it, why is it good.

maxpower · 08-11-2006, 12:29 PM

It's true post counts are fine (I am a friend of the Spam thread) However if the posts are too short then they are real boring to read! I am fine with any topic that has to remotly do with nintendo. Metroid has a lot to do with nintendo seeing as how it is a game created by the Nintendo Corp. I am also okay with talking about games that appear on the nintendo, nintendo console, directions nintendo might be taking, nintendo memories, etc. As long as it somehow has to do with nintedno I say lets talk about it.

For example you could ask "what was your favorite FF on the NES or SNES" or you could talk about how Nintendo made your childhood better, or anything like that. If in your mind it has to do with the greatness of nintendo (if you want to talk about how Nintendo is not great I am going to need a real long explanation and I will argue with you until the end of time) you can post here just make it at least interesting and long enough to be worth our time.

Thanx

Also thanks Samus for watching the thread, I think you are real great. Also by the way did you make your sig? cause it's awsome! Do you do freelance work for ummmmm........an unnamed club or some such.
