Woo for Nintendo! I am finding I am getting a little bored of all this mainstream crap that is coming out of Sony and microsoft.
I believe that the big N is doing the right thing, trying to find new ways of percieving and controling games, but they aregoing about it the wrong way.
Between not releasing any info, shoving controversial things in peoples faces, what looks like lieing and everything else, Nintendo have definately reduced thier chances at making good profits.
When I look at Sony and Microsoft I see a spangly, glitzy front that is really, in the end, a little shallow. Sure, they have super shiney graphics, nad sure, they can simulate thousands of enemies at once, but these arent the fundamental things that make a game fun. Nintendo knows this, and they are going in the right direction. One has to question this to some extent. Will nintendo ruin themselves like sega did by looking into the future with bright and innovative eyes? only time can tell.
In the end, I wotn get a next gen console. I am content with my gamecube. It may not be powerful, but it is fun, and satisfying. Moreso than alot of my newer games on the PC. Better than counterstrike, for instance, also more fun than Far cry. these games are all a little shallow in my mind, and leave me feeling a little lacking. I think the market in the future is going to see, eventually, that a game isnt good because it is the same recycled, mainstream pap that is force-fed to us every day, just covered up with good AI and a known label. We need less series and more original content.
THis is exactly what Nintendo are doing, and I am inclined to support them, rather than the other industry dogs out there. If I had to choose a console, it would be the revo, because I can trust Nintendo to satisfy me.
