I'm a lifelong gamer who has enjoyed video games through the thick and thin of my life. I'm also a person who speaks my mind often, which is why I chose to start this blog here where others can discuss what I have to say.
Originally a Nintendo fan, I've turned my back on it when they turned their collective backs on their old following. Currently, my Wii is still connected to my TV and I play with it from time to time.
Had an Xbox 360, which got the red ring five times before I put it out of its misery, and got an Elite, which got the E74 error and couldn't be replaced or fixed. Currently, it's on a shelf in some game repair shop, collecting dust, and that doesn't look like it's about to change anytime soon.
Have a PS3, which is going strong. It's currently my primary console.
I also have a DS and am planning to pick up a PSP as soon as Valkyria Chronicles 2 comes out. And a PC that runs Crysis, Supreme Commander and World of Warcraft, often at the same time.
You see, my posts may get responses suggesting I'm a fanboy or a hater, which is why I clarify this here: I tried all consoles, and didn't cling onto them when they started to fail, either in company support or in hardware/software.
My favorite genres are real time strategy and first person shooters, and I often turn to role-playing games and fighting games, with a bit of platforming on the side.
I hate, HATE music games. I love the songs you can play in them, but I hate the concept.

Anyway, can you define what a "hardcore" gamer is? I don't understand that word. Also, I can say the same about Microsoft and Sony - not one single game they announce got my blood pumping.
Why are you so mad? What is so "baby" about their games? Plus, your cousin is a kid; most kids want to be "mature" and "grown up" hence why he wants to play MK, trust me, I was the same way.
The message was clear: It was time Nintendo focused on the audience that really mattered.
I'm pretty sure they did that.
Only children want to be catered to exclusively. So when you have kids, you're going to have children more grown up than you are.
Denying your future children the things they like they just because you don't like said product is kind of a dick move, if you become a parent you're going to have to put up with them watching, listening, and doing things that irritate you. Would you deny them Barney and Princess movies too?
"Dahdy I whant to go whatch Pwincess and the Fwog?"
"No, we're going to go watch Jason Statham beat up guys for two hours while he's shirtless, because I'm a mahn Gurgahbugah"
It's unfortunate that Nintendo products no longer catch your interest, but you can't like everything it's no big deal. Nintendo has stayed a favorite amongst many because they haven't changed, and that's also the reason many resent them. Their biggest strength is their biggest weakness.
From Bio:"You see, my posts may get responses suggesting I'm a fanboy or a hater, which is why I clarify this here"
Saying that pretty much means you are. Under most circumstances you wouldn't have to repeatedly clarify that you weren't something unless you are.
I'll go with this old expression
"If One Person Calls You A Horse, You Ignore Them. If two people call you a horse, you may want to stop and purpose about it. If three people call you a horse you may be in need of to start shopping for a saddle."
It's totally okay to not like Nintendo, just don't make a big deal about it. You're not the first, join the millions of people who bought PS3s and 360s.
Still, I'll admit I was both happy and disappointed with The Big N. I mean, I like what I saw for Zelda, Mario, etc... but I'm getting genuinely sick of seeing all these sequels. I mean, I honestly can't name a new series that Nintendo has created since Pikmen almost a decade ago. Seriously, I just want something new and refreshing. Miyamoto is not clean out of ideas. He needs to reach in deep into his noggin and pull out something awesome!
And just to fit in with all the other asshole commentors on here... es tee eff U d00d! hehe
Cool story bro. Needs more pictures, I got bored halfway through.
What was this blog about again?
And really? Just because Nintendo has nothing to announce for the next Wii right now that interests you, you're going to forever boycott them instead of waiting and seeing?
Mature.
up with Sega anyways. So I never really experienced the same fierce loyalty most people have for Nintendo.
Also LOL at your cousin playing MK. I grew up playing those games and I just got the new one. It's just a matter of preference.
In all seriousness they didnt offer any less then any other company is offering though. If the plan is to jump on the port bandwagon then it seems to me that there doing a good job of it by already getting EA, Ubi, THQ and Sega on board. That being said I prob wont buy it until Nintendo actually has some good first party stuff for the thing. The Tablet controller gimmick does not impress me either but Im a sucker for hardware and I cant wait to learn more about whats under the hood of the actual box.
