"Nintendo's position however, gives it the advantage to release unknown games such as Animal Crossing but also the arrogance to promote connectivity or expect gamers to appreciate the new graphical style of Zelda."
Arrogant!? Um...no? How about they did it to create the best Zelda game in a long while. Idiotic statement.
"While not an admirable face of the casual gamer, a great way to his or her wallet is through his or her eyes [or a Pokemon sequel. Those little critters always sell.]"
I thought Nintendo couldn't afford to be kiddie?!
"Gamers today want edgy, realistic games. Nintendo could expand its own audience if it were to spend more time on the production value - graphics, music and game length - of its own games rather than releasing Nintendo 64 ports and remakes."
WHAT N64 ports and remakes!? The only one I can think of is Ocarina. Did I miss a generation?
"Ultimately, Nintendo's entire image would require a makeover."
I thought they needed more 3rd party support...
" But they let Sega do it...and of course Sega can't do anything right."
Except make what was JUST called an "incredible RPG".
"Speaking of which, the Nintendo 64 was heaven for Wrestling games. It was heaven for the First-Person-Shooter. It was heaven for Platformers. PlayStation 2 and Xbox have all but taken that away while Nintendo stands by idly watching."
Umm...last time I checked, Nintendo still owned platformers...
"And if not, the world isn't going to end, nor will dolphins become extinct, but Nintendo may very well itself, need to go third-party."
I thought this was an article about what Nintendo is doing wrong, not about Nintendo turning third party! And HELLO, if they're making money, why go third party!?
"As long as Nintendo can keep third-parties satisfied and continue building healthy relationships, we may see a happy ending to this story afterall. It's only a matter of time before the timer on the oven beeps, and our Ninten-dough becomes something more."
Huh!?
Ok, so obviously it's a stupid article. It's an ANGRY article, and you should never write while angry.
