"Miyamoto loves Angry Birds, which he'd made it "
Correction Mr. Sterling, "which" should be wishes. Damn your spellchecker/auto-correct.

Spellcheck dem titles, Jim-boy!
Honestly, I haven't played Angry Birds much, but it doesn't deserve all that ire. And Miyamoto likes it, and that is good enough for me.

"Which he's made it"
First it's the Fez guy ragging on Japan and now Sterling is taking a shot at engrish. ;-)

As much as I hate to admit it (after they milked the original game's style to death), the new Space edition is actually pretty cool. The new mechanics brought me back in.
Look at all of the money Angry Birds has made. Pretty much everyone wishes they made it.
You know what I wish I made? RoboCop.

TYPO!!!!! TYPO IN THE TITLE!! THE MIGHTY JIM STERLING HAS FAILED! EVERYONE POINT AND LA... oh damn you fixed it.
Does this mean we'll be seeing an Angry Birds/Yoshi's Island crossover on the 3DS eShop sometime soon?
@Smithy Can I make love to your profile picture?
Also, I've said for the longest that Angry Birds is a fun, unique idea. I agree with you Jim. However, I still dislike it and would not play it.

"Rovio is shameless in its prostitution of the brand." Not sure I follow you on this one, Jim. I'd love examples of how bad you think it is, because doing movie tie-ins, producing plushies, and making keychains is good, smart business. If they developed such a strong, recognizable brand, I think they absolutely take advantage of it. Unless there's some event that I missed in which it took a really questionable turn, which is possible.
There is a Mario game for the famicom (probably the disk system but I'm not sure), which advertises ramen noodles.
@ShadeOfLight
HAH! True, very true. So isn't it all the more incredible that Rovio actually pulled something off like that?

I dunno about anyone else, but the thing that stands out to me is that somewhere on the internet, some "hardcore" gamers who like the latest Mario games but dismiss Angry Birds as an actual game are farting in rage. The amount of hate coming from that is just delicious.
It's not like Angry Birds is an original idea, Miyamoto... Rovio made a good clone of other games, and it somehow exploded.
@caraleo
Unfortunately, that's very very true.

I guess, if you put it that way. I thought it was more premature than anything, really. I mean, Nintendo doesn't even have a theme park, does it? I'm not sure AB will stay popular long enough for something like that to work in the long run.
Anyway, I don't have issues with the games as such, but it seems to me they're taking the franchising a bit too far in some of these cases.
Oh well.

Whyyyyyy Miyamoto whyyyy?
Now the unbelievable arrogance of Rovio is going to run even more rampant. Thanks a lot.

I couldn't get into the original, but I have to admit I'm enjoying Angry Birds Space (Free on Android still in case anyone's interested). Bring it to the Vita, give it rear touch pad controls, and I'll give you 5 bucks for it Rovio!
I never really had a problem with it, I just found it disturbing how popular it became, and how quickly at that.. ^_^;
There are probably fetishes devoted to this game.... -_-;
I definitely see how its design harkens back to the simpler days of gaming, although I never wanted to play it myself much... I think mostly because I'm a non conformist. @_@;
(And because my dad went crazy over the damn thing and drove everyone nuts...)

This is almost like saying "Aunt Jemima loves pancakes, wishes she made them"
Miyamoto pretty much made a game like this possible to ever have been conceived in the first place, much like Aunt Jemima makes pancakes yummy by simply existing.

I honestly don't see the joy of it, its a essentially a very colorful ripoff of a free game on free online flash based game websites I believe called Castle Defenders. Angry Birds space IDK I've not seen much of its gameplay.
I think Angry Birds is a fun enough game, but my deep dislike for Rovio easily overshadows any enjoyment I could possibly get out of this game.
Wait, what? People are mad at Rovio for being full of themselves? Hell, I would be too if I made THE very biggest game in the history of all video games. You'd have to scrape me off the ceiling with a chisel.
I'd hate to be the guy who made the first "Crush the Castle" flashgame. (It's first game of this particular genre I know of.) Rovio is makin' all his money.
FUCKNG ANDGRYD BERDS ALMY CLASSSMATES PLAYET ANDS SSUPER BRORING HNGGGGGGGGGHAAAAA
*RAGE*
No, seriously angry birds can be kind of fun but it's not for me, i guess is just for moms.

Miyamoto is arguably one of the biggest game creators of all time, and even he humbles himself before others.
Humility is a good trait. Pompousness and Arrogance are not, regardless of ones accomplishments or ones deserving of such self righteous thoughts.
People are easily annoyed by the bad traits of others, and when you are successful you should take even more care in how you present yourself and represent your work. In my opinion, humility and respectful acknowledgement say far more than self righteous boasting.

I'm not even mad.
Miyamoto was a big deal in the 80's and a lesser extent the 90's but now he's a dinosaur with a gigantic ego problem. All he does these days is ruin his classic franchises and prevent people from improving them. The few good games Nintendo's made recently have been despite Miyamoto's creative control, not because of it.
So Miyamoto likes Angry Birds now? Last nail in the coffin for him.

That's all well and good, Ronin, but I think my point remains. Someone who makes the biggest game on the face of the Earth can probably be excused a bit of boasting. You may not like it, but I don't think you have much room to condemn them for it.
