Really, do you think that?

Do you love Nintendo so much as to say, that if you are a fan of nintendo, you are a fan of gaming? Which is to say if you dont like nintendo, you dont like gaming. Are you really serious in saying this? And then you dont want to look like a complete and total fanboy.

Where in my post did you come to this conclusion? Just curious. Because it seems like you were just making a wild, unfounded and drastic assumption thus making yourself look like a bit silly, as usual judging by what I've seen of your posts.

I'm sorry, but this just strikes me as hilarious. You try to make it sound as though Nintendo fans are Gods among men or something.

I do? Or...you interpret it as that? (It's the latter, the former isn't true. Hopefully you'll all stop making fools of yourselves soon.)

Um. Dude. Just number 4. The rest were solely for Sony. As will be number 5

Were they? Because I know that Code Veronica was SOLELY for Sony...I mean...it was made for Dreamcast first and got downgraded for the PS2 ages later, but I'm sure it was made just so Sony could steal it back 😉. OH! Of course! Let's not forget Zero, the game that was INTENDED as a NINTENDO 64 game but ended up on Gamecube. However, I'm sure that's lies and propaganda and that there's probably an original Sony version out there somewhere 😉.

Because Sony DIDN'T get up to 3 and realise they could do no more did they? They didn't pass the franchise off to other companies who could do a better job than they did, only to claim them back after OTHER companies did the work, did they? They produced Zero, the remake (and superior version) of 1 with it's hour of added STORY (not just new guns a la PS2's Resi 4), and 4, didn't they? Wait....no they didn't. Sony STOPPED at 3 and sold the franchise to people more capable than they were (hahaha, Sega). What exclusive Resi's have they produced that are worth mentioning? The original, sure. 2? Of course, incredible game (which they also gave to the N64 so it could be bettered...there's a pattern). Erm...3? Filler. All 3 Gun Survivors? The extremely floppable Outbreaks? Cube have Zero, 4 and the remake of 1, Sega have Code Veronica to their name. Sony didn't have any part in the creation of the best of the series. Resident Evil 4 is being lessened to become a PS2 game. Resident Evil 5 has a bulk of what was birthed with RE4. Nintendo's machine, like it or not, is responsible for the series being what it is today and what it has become. Not to mention that 5 isn't only Sony, it's Microsoft also.

Funny how I'm merely speaking out of which console and company I prefer to play games by, yet I get branded a fanboy. You make ill informed and factually incorrect comments such as "All but 4 were solely for Sony, as will be 5" and nothing is said. Proves a point.

Oh, and for the record, Nintendo has a huge number fanboys. In fact, I'd go so far to say that Nintendo has some of the worst, most annoying fanboys I've encountered.

There are plenty of people who go out of their way to love Nintendo to a ridiculous degree because they think it makes them credible when it comes to gaming, as if the Nintendo fans are some kind of gaming elite or something, just because they like Nintendo, which simply isn't the case.

I never denied they have fanboys. I've actually said it in prior posts.

But come on, Sony don't? Microsoft don't? How many Cube fans do you know that bought it because it played decent films or played music CDs? One? Ten? A hundred?...None? (Don't bother answering this, the answer is none.)

I'm not claiming any console as perfect. I'm making a case for the console I prefer using evidence as opposed to irrelevant points.

The problem with people in this thread is that the fanboys accuse non-fanboys who speak sense, of being fanboys because they don't like what they hear. To be a Nintendo fanboy all you have to do is know what you're talking about and have any factual evidence that says Sony aren't Gods, the very nature of you knowing something about Nintendo makes you an employee.

C-Master already proved that when he referred to me as "You" when discussing Nintendo.

And as for C's comment on things being flops, I'm only discussing Cube. Wasn't a flop was it? No.

✅ And that's true with any fanboy of any system.

I also agree with you about the Resident Evil series. Nintendo is responsible for improving that series. 'Nuff said.

As for the Revolution, as long as it is cheaper than the 360 and PS3, I think I will be willing to give it a shot. 🙂

Its not too hard to look at your reasoning. Nintendo fans = Gaming fans. Which means that Nintendo = gaming. Which means you view other gaming systems as below gaming. Sony Xbox = Not gaming. So your putting yourself and fans of Nintendo on an elitest pedestal. Which means that since you view Nintendo as the only "real" gaming system, you must have a love of the company jsut because of its name, not the games (like a fanboy maybe?). Otherwise you would have said something like "Fans of Zelda are fans of gaming" but instead you pointed to the name of a company, Nintendo, as if Nintendo is the only company that makes good games. You can back pedal and say "Oh I never anything like that" but anyone that has brains enough to make words in their alaphabit soup can see what your logical reasoning behind making a statement such as that was.

I don't hate you C, I don't mind you at all actually.

So basically, you did exactly what I said and interpreted my post in a way that YOU wanted to read it just so you could grip onto your pathetic fanboy ranting? You ASSUMED everything that you just posted. Never in my post did I actually say any of it. Don't read between the lines, read the actual lines.

Aka "If he now replies denying it, I've already made my smart little comment" hahaha. Funny. That doesn't remove from the fact that everything you just said is BS.

resident evil 5 is coming to revolution aswell

So, bottom line is:

Is anybody interested enough to buy a Revolution when it comes out, just because of this unique controller?

I probably wont get any next gen systems (at this point and time.. maybe I'll change my mind)... but this sure seems like an interesting outlet for all kinds of wierd games having an analog controller like that is just as good (if not better) than a pc mouse

Like I said, I actually started to take notice of the Revolution when I saw the controller. I'm genuinely interested.

XBox 360, for me, is coming out too soon for me to care right now. There's so many games and DVDs that I would prefer to spend my money on. I honestly think the next generation is coming a year too early. Some of the best output of the current generation has either just been released or is due out soon, and I want to take notice of that. There's no point in deserting a ship which is in full sail.

I've still got the new Zelda game to think about, GTA on the PSP, Pro Evolution Soccer 5 will keep me busy for a year or so. 24: The Game is out next year too. There's also Fahrenheight, Hulk and Ultimate Spider-Man that also look like loads of fun. There's plenty of games that have my attention and as of right now, I won't be making the leap until NEXT Christmas.

I shall be waiting a while and weighing up each console, trying them out, seeing which ones have the games I want, how much they are. I shall only be buying ONE console this time. In the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy the current generation the best I can because so far I can't decide which one looks the best. Seeing the Revolution controller was an indication of Nintendos ambitions, it is easily a contender for my attention now - thats how important a poxy controller can be. The deciding factor will be the games, and only the games.

I never denied they have fanboys. I've actually said it in prior posts.

But come on, Sony don't? Microsoft don't? How many Cube fans do you know that bought it because it played decent films or played music CDs? One? Ten? A hundred?...None? (Don't bother answering this, the answer is none.)

Every system has fanboys, as is evident by reading some posts in this forum. I don't know anyone who bought the gamecube for watching movies or playing music, I also don't know anyone who bought an Xbox or a PS2 for watching movies or playing music. They bought the systems for their games.

To be a Nintendo fanboy you have to do one of the follow -

1. Deny that gamecube is technically in last place in the console wars, they've sold less systems, and have a far lower quality library in general, outside of the obvious first party games that Nintendo rely on these days.

2. Get pissed off an game reviewers for reviewing more PS2/Xbox games then Gamecube games, as if they're conciously denying gamecube press becaue they're bias, rather then recognizing that it's because Gamecube has a very low numeber of games coming out compared to the other systems.

3. Think that by liking Nintendo they are more of a gamer then those who like PS2 or Xbox, simply because it's Nintendo.

The people who are claiming that any fan of Nintendo is a "fanboy" are grossly mistaken and have a flawed perspective as to what a fanboy really is.

Technically it is reasonable to see the gamecube as something of a flop. It is, IMO the worst Nintendo system of all time, it has a least number of high quality exclusive games, and also has a very small library compared to Nintendos past systems. It's also reasonable because, love it or hate it, gamecube has sold the fewest consoles out of all of the major systems of this generation, so if one is comparing it to PS2 or Xbox, it could easily be seen as a flop to some people.

Very well said. Nintendo seems to hook in a certain echelon of gamers, and instill within them a sense of elitism. Its like film snobs, that snub their nose at all mainstream blockbusters and think the small, independant dramas with small budgets are how movies should be. Ive seen Nintendo fans/fanboys demonstrate time and time again a sense of brand loyalty above any other systems. For example, I remember when the Gamecube fans would talk smack about FPS, when Halo was on the scene. They said they didnt care about Halo, because they didnt like FPS, and FPS were just generic and fun. Then low and behold, Nintendo made a giant innovation and made the new Metroid a FPS! Wow suddenly everyone on the Cube were FPS fans and Metroid was the best FPS ever in a million years! Its like currently Nintendo fans talk smack about GTA, since they dont have it on the Cube. They dont want it, they dont need it. But if Nintendo would come out with something comparable to it, then suddenly its an innovation. Another example is how nintendo fans speak on the gaming community, and look down their nose at other systems, saying "All they do is plug out sequel after sequel and rely on games with the same characters "coughMasterChiefcough*" yet in the same breath, they praise Miyamoto for the twentith Legend of Zelda remake and dance around at a hint of a sequel to Smash Brothers or Metroid.

Currently, there has been some talk on how revolutionary this new controller is. But if you shift through it all, you see its not really that revolutionary. All they have fundamentaly done, is chopped a controller in half, and connected it with a cord. Being cordless isnt really an innovation since cordless controllers have been around a bit now. Rumble pack built in certainly isnt one. Motion sensing technology was in other periphary controllers back in the NES days, with the power glove and that motion detecting apparatus. It can shoot at the TV, and use point and click technology, which some people think is the real jump in technology. If only there was a way to shoot at the screen in games back when NES came out, how different games could have been today. Oh wait, there was, it was the Zapper. So they chopped their controller in half, rearranged the buttons on a TV remote so that it can be turned sideways and play like a NES, built in a zapper, and a power glove, and call it a revolution in the gaming industry. And people will fall for it. If only they could have the controller transform into ROB the Robot, NO ONE could compete with them! I guess, with the point at screen technology, I guess Nintendo are hard at work on the revolutionary Duck Hunt! Maybe they can make it a GTA style crime spree, so all the Nintendo fans will stop talking crap about smacking hos up.

I currently have pc, xbox , cube, sega saturn, n64, dreamcast, playstation and playstation 2

I dont really play console much anymore... since I love multiplayer so much 🙁

I could see where you could come to that conclusion. I am someone who likes the SP2 better then the other systems but I would not say that GC was a flop. I liked the play in the GC games better then the other systems often enough that I say it was a good system, plus it did not brake near as often or as easy as the other systems. I like the PS2 best but I still like the CG.

I new controller is still interesting is you ask me. I do think it is a revolution the gaming industry but it will be cool to see how it works.
