    You know Nintendo. They make such classic games such as Mario and Zelda but are they really classics; furthermore are they really innovators?

    Let's go back in time to the early 80s when Atari was king. The Atari 2600 had better games, better hardware and better design than that grey blocky NES which only became famous because there was literally no other game console out there.

    The NES had inferior graphics and tons of gimmicks to make up for the fact that it wasn't really revolutionary. It's controller only had 2 buttons and a joypad.

    Sure... Some may say that the SNES is the best game console in existence but is it really? The graphics looked like an inferior Sega Genesis which had better graphics and better hardware. Now I know what you might be saying. "noob it's how you program the game not how powerful the hardware is" well you know what, it's about power in this game.

    Sega just didn't know how to make Nintendo it's b---- like it was supposed to.

    The N64. Boy was that console a joke compared to PlayStation. You had to blow on a cartridge that provided an inferior experience to a CD-ROM... I know the N64 was more powerful but man was it really ridiculous to look at those ugly POS games for hours at a time.

    Don't get me started on the GameCube or the Wii (you could sit down and still move the controller. Take that Nintendo!) but I really want to talk about is the Nintendo Switch.

    This thing was supposed to make Sony and Microsoft Nintendo's b------s but I held it in my hand, it shattered instantly. Nintendo at least should of used some form of superglue or adhesive to make the things stick but I was jerking off to my Nintendo Switch and my thing flew off and broke a window. Now I can't find it and I have a broken window, thanks a lot Nintendo.

    Another thing. Mario and Zelda are just simple games. Mario you jump and squash enemies and jump and jump fast and jump slow and it's just... d--- why don't you stop jumping I mean everything is jumping with you and it gets boring. Zelda takes the whole adventure game and makes it simplified. It's graphics are cartoony and it's gameplay isn't as complex as The Elder Scrolls. Who wants to play a cartoony game with cartoony graphics. Nobody except @Final that's who...

    No wonder why Microsoft and Sony are winning the console races. The Nintendo Switch is just a gimmicky console that is pathetic and laughable. I had to throw away the console for fear it might make me gay... I can still feel the love for Nintendo rolling through me and I'm taking special drugs to counteract that.

    Let this be a warning to you. Stay away from Ningaydo.

    Cringey as h---. Nintendo is at a downfall, yes, but to call the company who saved the video game industry, basically created PlayStation, and has delevoped and created many of the most recognizable characters throughout history "overrated" is pityful.

    He has not responded so I clearly failed... Guess he doesn't have a decent argument to combat this.

    Nintendo's technically been on a downfall since the nintendo 64 was released in 1996. If anything Sony "saved an industry that's been thriving at a constant and expanding rate on PC for over 30 years" when they released the highest selling game console of all time (the PS2).

    if you are going to compare, atleast make it a decent comparison lol.
    -people play LoL because it's an easily accesible, free-to-play, competitive online game for PC. (which runs on just about any old PC/laptop/mac. meaning you dont need to buy a console for it)
    -people play Watchdogs because it had a sizable marketing campaign for xbox/ps4 and is a "cool next-gen" singleplayer story game.
    -people play mario kart cause it's fun regardless of graphics/specs and its also online/couch co-op friendly

    most people who talk about technical spec's of games are into coding/programming/digital art etc.

    im so out of my depth talking about this looool but what im saying is, every time you see discussion about video games it really seems like its a bunch of herbs complaining and insulting each other because their console or pc is the master race or some dumb s--- like its so negative my point is that nintendo seems to not buy into that whole competitive weirdness and focus on fun and trying to innovate which is cool to me since sony and microsoft seem to just do the exact same thing and just undercut or w.e its cool that nintendo actually seems to take risks for fun sakes which is what its about which makes them inherently way cooler than the other companies so idk how they could be overrated

    yeah well you partly right, like the whole "console war" thing is just dumb. Yeah sure there's exclusives but all of them will end up on an emulator on a PC within a few years (the only reason it hasn't happened for xbox is because they (in very basic terms) haven't translated the coding yet.) Anyone with half a brain knows though that if there's no monetary/time constraints a PC is better at everything.

    saying Nintendo is overrated isn't a stretch at all though. the wii sold well, but most would agree the novelty of the new controller or w/e got tiring real quick/felt pretty gimmicky. wi u was pretty miserable and the Switch is more expensive than both the ps4/xbox for worse hardware and people are reporting online the actual builds of the device feels poor/cheap. It really says a lot when when the guy who created Minecraft gets a console early and posts photos on twitter of it in the bin.

    ah i see well idk i guess my opinion 100% is a product of my negative perception of the whole gaming community nintendo to me just represents the opposite of that and the positive things about video games

    that sucks tho sounds s-----y but yea i guess i dont know enough to have an opninion on this cause i didnt know about that pokemon and mario kart are just goat tho but spyro & ctr and simps hitnrun > them all
