Subject: Re: Inner-Roundtable #2 Author: KevinCube [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:53:03 04/23/02 Tue In reply to: MODERATOR 's message, "Re: Inner-Roundtable #2" on 15:28:11 04/23/02 Tue Brad - I most certainly feel your pain. If you say you want [i]some[/i] and not necessarily [i]more[/i], I say fair enough. Still in my opinion we [b]do[/b] get some, albeit a small amount in comparison to the HypeBox and the PS2muchinfo. I just have to look at the big picture. I just have to accept that if this is what it takes for them to make the games they do - I say bring it on. In general, I'm the same way as Nintendo: I don't like to make a showing until I have the best possible showing. And that drives me to work hard and go the extra mile in order to not dissappoint, ands in order to live up to the standards I've set for myself. The fact remains that Nintendo is not a trend follower. They set their oen course, they march to the beat of their own drummer (Koji Kondo!), and that's what has propelled them to their legendary status - NOTHING ELSE. And I agree with SamNMax: [i]"...you could call it fallout from being a Nintendo fan for far too long. I just don't expect anything from Nintendo but great games anymore. They don't deliver much else, do they?"[/i] And Skinner's comment here crystalized my thoughts exactly: [i]"I don’t think John Q. Casual Gamer really knows about Nintendo’s secrecy and delays. All John Q. Casual Gamer knows is that the newest issue of EGM says that Mario blew them out of the water."[/i] And furthermore, Skinner hit the nail on the head when he said that YOU the hardcore gamer do not need a screenshot to tell you that Mario will be amazing. You can trust Shigeru, and if you point to Luigi's Tech Demo as support for saying you can't trust him, remember that it was not primarily his game. Even so, LM was fun while it lasted and not too difficult by any stretch. Clearly a kids game that Nintendo wanted to experiment with and could wrap up in time for launch. That's okay with me. I know they're not approaching Mario or Link the same way. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Methinks is one word, for the sake of your soon to be editing task. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
