Ocrina of time was just a remake of A link to the past.
Right.... well I think that about sums up how stupid your post is.

The sheer stupidity expressed in that post is mind boggling.
First of all, I'd counter that adults are just as likely as kids to enjoy the familiar. A prime example includes 99% of sports games.
How is the cube "not a gamer's system"?
Windwaker, RE4, Eternal Darkness, Smash Bros., Metroid
Any of those games is reason alone to own the console. Combined with the low price, it's an absolute steal.
I'd like to know how action RPGs, platformers, FPS, racing games, and party games somehow qualify as being of similar genres.
Mario Kart continues to make an excellent game to play with friends, that's why it continues to be released. And for the record, the home consoles have seen a grand total of 3 mario karts. I'd hardly call that milking the franchise.
Calling Ocarina of Time a remake shows how out of touch with reality you are. The game was widely hailed as one of the best games EVER MADE when it came out. Don't believe me? Check out gamespot or any other major review site. Reviews were pretty much perfect across the board. Having a tired, rehashed story generally doesn't get you perfect reviews.
Mario Party continues to be made because GASP - people play it with their friends and enjoy it. It's hardly Nintendo's key franchise anyways. And it's not within the true Mario franchise, but rather an offshoot.
Zelda is an action RPG, but I guess you failed to recognize that. So I guess they have RPGs and action games.
Not to mention that Nintendo continuously pushes the waters, despite your assertion that they are stagnate (forget about Pikmin?, a complete remake of metroid from a side scrolling platformer to a FPS?)
Your rant holds little weight. Nintendo as a company is arguably the single greatest success story in gaming. Even when the critics predict failure, Nintendo almost universally delivers the goods (just witness the hoopla over cell shading in Windwaker). There are a select few companies that can be seen as being as innovative, and even a smaller list of companies which have been both innovative and maintained the ability to turn a profit.

Amen.

Nintendo's problem is that people buy Nintendos for their first party games... thats it. If given a choice between Cube, PS2, or Xbox... most people are going to go with PS2 or Xbox. Only a handful of great games does not make a sucessful system. That being said, I still love my first party nintendo titles

SNES was there last good thing(i miss zelda on that). i thought the N64 was trash. the cube is a kiddie console. the DS imo is trash and the hand held market will soon be taken over by the PSP(my prediction).

As to all those listing games as examples of Nintendo's awesomeness: Their main titles (mario, zelda, metroid, etc) were NOT meant to be 3D, and all the 3D versions I've played completely and utterly sucked. I haven't played all their 3D games, but I've played a few on the GC and many on the N64. Paper Mario didn't quite cut it either.
Nintendo is still an excellent company that makes innovative games, but they stoped catering to my tastes when they released the N64. Their releases prior to that will probably keep me a Nintendo fan forever, but I don't really like the direction they've been taking anytime recent. They're just applying their innovation in the wrong ways IMO.
All final fantasy's had a different story and everything else as well.So he must also hate all games that have 2 or more after it like all the final fantasies?
You know, I wonder that too. especially those real sports games, what changes do they make that warrant another 50 bucks?OMGOMGOMG. Tony Hawk 1! Tony Hawk 2! Tony Hawk 3! NHL 2003, NHL 2004,, NHL2005!! OMGOMGOMG.

Halo 2 is a continuation of the story...!Halo TWO
Metal Gear Solid WHAT VERSION ARE WE ON NOW?
Thanx for pointing out those 5.Windwaker, RE4, Eternal Darkness, Smash Bros., Metroid
They never hype anything besides Zelda and Mario and Resident Evil. Every Nintendo system must have a (might as well be ported) a version of mario party, zelda, mario kart.I'd like to know how action RPGs, platformers, FPS, racing games, and party games somehow qualify as being of similar genres.
What RPG elements are in Zelda?! it's more like an Action/adventure game.Zelda is an action RPG, but I guess you failed to recognize that. So I guess they have RPGs and action games.
Really, well let me see, I played Ocrina of time first... then a link to the past, and it was boring because it was the same game without an ocrina.. wow.quote:

Right.... well I think that about sums up how stupid your post is.
I have already ranted so much about the PS2. And then about the xbox. I must do it now for the GC. It was my last resort as they always release great hardware, I just feel that they lack a lot on the software side and some games are just too similar and because they keep rehashing and remaking just makes me sick to my stomach. I'm really pissed off about the crappy lineup of the DS as well. All the games suck.If you want to rant about something make it the PS2.
Not every console, I believe the PS2 is utter horse crap.Every console has its strengths and weaknesses
Haven't played it yet and I'm sure it's awsome, but 1 game doesn't make a console good.This man needs to play Resident Evil 4.

Metal Gear Solid is the only one that I think is really stupid as well, it always about the stupid metal gear, just destroy the freakin thing once and for all.

I'm not just ranting about the Gamecube, but everything nintendo does now. MarioDS64, the new mariokart DS, omg.. and now the original mario remade - it's ruining it.
It's like that saying "You killed it!"

Mario64 was the best platformer on the planet! but the remake to DS, sounded cool in the beginning, but then the graphics sucked compared to the console version and I didn't like the additions of the new players and everything. It tainted my game. The game was great and now it sucks. We don't need a port to every console. Just chill and create a new game. Dammit, fcking bastards cap it at ONE mario per console.
