Tell your cousins that they should know all about having something small.

Console-ism really bugs me. We all like what we like and to hell with people that want to abuse us for it. Don't get me wrong, I do like a good friendly dig at each other over things, but bloody hell, whats the next war going to be over? The US invading Sony over console rights?

The reason i choose to always purchase Nintendo above all others is purely the same reason one goes to a bike shop rather than k-mart to buy a bike or a chinese restaurant to eat chinese food. It's what they're known for. They primarily make games and they do it well. People tend to forget that Xbox & Playstation are really just Microsoft & Sony. I don't ever remember them making consoles before....



The more competition there is, the more Nintendo will have to improve meaning better consoles
And the same goes with all the other consoles

P.S I hope SEGA bring out a next generation console again, that would be sweet

Would that be the Sega Ultra-Mega Mega-Drive?

I should never have traded in my Mega-drive. It was fun. The Mega-Drive's version of Populous was heaps better than the SNES version. Both good systems though.

I tend to look it at this way, the Wii is a fun innovative console. I mainly use it for parties, when people come around etc. The Xbox 360 is a more serious gaming system, not saying the games are better but for me i can play the 360 longer than the Wii. Online play on the 360 is much better as well. If the Wii had something like Xbox Live man Nintendo would be the Ultimate. Im always going to support Ninty though over Microsoft because i have had so many great moments with Nintendo Sytems.

my cosins say that all the time! they say that nintendo is for a bunch of people who like colourful baby character happy games, they say that the graphics suck and they say it's sort of childish. I must admit some of the games could be a bit more rude'r and more violent but the wii rocks!

Thanks Pyro, but seriosly I know Iv dug up a pointless old thread or 2 and I admit that, but this 1 isnt pointless.

Nintendos always been family friendly and always had the reputation of a 'kiddies company' especially when the Playstation came out and ever since then, but these days Nintendo is more for everyone just look at games like the up and coming ManHunt 2 and games like, Red Steel, Far Cry, GodFather, ScarFace, those WW2 games etc... And still bringing out classic Nintendo style games with a new twist. Its great and now with the PS3 doing bad and Ninty looking like it may be number 1 for a while with the Wii and DS its just good to laugh at those Playstation and Xbox lovers.

Yes Nintendo is for kids but its also for teenagers adults and even the elderly.
Its fair enough having your own opinion but atleast use facts with it, Ninty is not as kiddy as it once was and thats a fact.
