I wake up everyday hoping that I might have lost my memory so I can play Crono Trigger, FF6, Lufia II, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3 and every fucking amazingly awesome game of the fucking best console ever that the Snes was. I would then open RM2k and attempt to equal them without being an artist.

I don't think it is just a matter of having grown up. They don't make games like those anymore. A great example is Dragon Quest V. I had never played it before and I just got it for my DS. I must say that I enjoy playing that game more than any game on the Wii, PS3 or 360 (this statement applies for most of my DS games really lol).

I think I missed the 3D train when everyone was boarding it, I would take 2D over 3D anyfkinday.

Standing up for what I believe in, even if it means standing alone.

Interesting note - I've never played any of those games! Actually, I got maybe 1 hour into FF6 before I stopped playing out of boredom. Felt like a horrible Rm2k game to me.

Jesus, at least try Chrono Trigger or Lufia. I can understand some people can't get into Final Fantasy, but games like Chrono Trigger and Lufia are like the sacred fruit trees hidden in the vast forest of Final Fantasy.

One of the things in the video game department that probably hit me the most is the downfall of the mighty Nintendo. The ones who made the Gameboys so popular, the ones who created the masterpieces NES and SNES, and N64. And what have they become? Seriously, what is the Wii? Is it a gaming console? Or is it a fitness machine, or minigame console for old people? It saddens me to see how ridicilous Nintendo has become.

your idea of games is narrow. just because Nintendo is picking up a different audience doesn't mean they're not making games anymore.
Besides, No More Heroes is pretty good *shrug*

don't mind me, just postin' after a few brewskies

I've heard this kind of argument a lot from friends, alongside the idea that the Wii isn't for "hardcore games". To claim that the N64 is some kind of HOLY GRAIL yet the Wii sucks is a bit ridiculous. For every Mario Kart 64 there's a Mario Kart Wii and so on. Nintendo is still making great games, they just happen to have expanded their repertoire of FUN TIMES.

I've been playing videogames as my main form of entertainment now for the past 21 years, yet I've never been as excited as when I bought my Wii. The PS3 doesn't fill me with the same kind of feelings at the moment unfortunately as I'm not that into SOLDIERGAMES. I have an opportunity at the moment to expand my collection by buying a PS3 or Xbox360, yet I can't decide between them as they both seem pretty same old, same old to me. It's unfortunate, but neither fills me with the excitement of the Wii.

Yet, as I say, I'm obviously not a "hardcore gamer", despite the fact that I regularly spend all of my spare time playing video/pcgames, including some exceptionally lifetaking and geeky titles like Europa Universalis, the Total War series, SimINSERTSIMGAMEHERE games, RPGs...the list goes on!!!!

WHAT A RNAT!
