So Nintendo is bad for the gaming industry because they want to bring out the gamer to the non-gamers. Makes sense to me. After all, we ahem "real" gamers were never casual when Nintendo came out with the NES. It's the same marketing strategy that they used over 15 years ago and it still works.
First of all, stop getting so worked up over what
I think and brush me off as an ignorant Nintendo-hating ******.
Second, I was never a casual gamer, not that I remember. I have been playing games for as long as I can think back to. Even when it was just the NES, I would sit there and smack the thing until it worked properly, which would sometimes be a while. (And actually worked, somehow.)
And lastly, Nintendo
not changing is, in itself, a change. While other companies have grown, Nintendo refuses to do anything differently. It works for them. They get tons of cash and we "gamers" don't get to see anything new and exciting from what used to be brilliant. Though, I guess I have to smack myself in the face, because they have obviously changed with the Wii, shifting their focus, it seems, from their cartoony Zelda/Mario w/e to peripherals and games for adults, who will play those games a few times, and then only get it back out every once in a blue moon.
I still don't know what your problem with my defintion of "gamer" is, but get over it. Just because you don't like what I think doesn't mean you have to call me out for it. I mean, that bears resemblance to the crusades and nazi Germany of the mid 1900s if you ask me, even if it's toned down to a pointless argument.
