Nintendo's New Console

That's funny, I don't think it was all about the money back when you actually enjoyed playing Nintendo's vidya. It's only about the money now because that is all Nintendo has to show.

Sony and Microsoft are the big boys because they at least try to make video games that appeal to actual gamers. People that like video games. Not people that like innovative shovelware. What effort has Nintendo made to please gamers during this generation other than make one Zelda game and ruin Metroid?

oh thats right nothing

You're acting like any console puts out any decent games anymore. Other than the Zelda franchise, I tend to stay away from console games. All I ever hear about with XBox and PS3 are FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES! "<Company name> HAS JUST RELEASED <generic FPS title> 3! THIS IS THE MOST BADASS THING SINCE FOREVER!" .......Seriously? You point and shoot. What's so ground breaking about that? ._.

Console video gaming, as a whole, has been disappointing since the end of the Nintendo 64 era. Even then... I felt like there were a lack of great games.

I'm not really going to be too impressed with video gaming until they start making classic-style games that would make gaming fun again OR until they release one of the following :

Virtual Reality (I don't see this ever happening, to be honest...)
Holographic Video Gaming (I'm not sure how this would work, either)

Motion control is decent and all, but is it really great for gaming? I think using controllers is a much better option for quite the majority of video games. Motion controls seem nice on sports games, dancing games, or even games like Zelda (while still using a controller, of course... If it turns into Kinect type gameplay... I'm not touching it), where motion controls would actually enhance the game. Even then... it can be too tedious to bother with, especially if you've just gotten off a long work day or something similar.


TL;DR : I'm not excited for the next console at this point. As long as they don't delay Skyward Sword and release it specifically for the next console, I don't give a sh'it. If they do, I'll rage and my blood will boil hotter than all of the lava in hell.
