It's actually a love/hate relationship between me and nintendo.
I hate it for having such kiddish games(from my point of view), unsexy hardware and low power hardware.
That said, I love nintendo for being what it is today, the world's most respected and influential video game making company. Look at the things which it has accomplished in the field of video games. It's a japanese company and it makes its videogames according to it's local public. This is the case with everything that's japanese. Nintendo recently said(in context of it's low powered hardware) that 'it's the content that matter, not the hardware or the extra things). I agree with it fully. Nintendo makes games specifically for it's local public and the kiddish/animated stuff is what the public wants. Japanese people don't really like gears of war kidda stuff with lots of blood and gore in all details...what they like is being well served by nintendo.
desiibond I agree with you that it's always good to have advanced hardware and other motion sensing stuff.....but to use that you must have good titles. Sports games like tennis and all are good....but what about the fps and other games...if nintendo needs to reach to a larger audience then it HAS to get something that is of universal taste and not just japanese.
for example, I would love to see 1080p movies, but if the movie being shown is ram gopal varma's AAG, then whats the use. I'd rather see terminator salvation in a VCD clarity.
So it's content that matter the most, and not the hardware. But hey, advanced hardware combined with good content makes killer stuff!
