Well isn't it time the programming badasses over at Nintendo proved you wrong?
If they released something that didn't work, they wouldn't make any money now, would they?
So, essentially, the other arcade games that suck (Which they do. More than Monica Lewinsky.), I think they are that bad because they didn't get the Big N treatment.
I trust them to make even Piercings fun.
I already did. I'm not here to reiterate what I've already said.
I already compared the mass-commercial-driven media to the mass-commercial-driven consoles, AC responded with a total fanboyish post describing how much he loved these games, well, fine with him.
I'm not even going to dignify blanket statements like "if thirty million flies can't be wrong, let's all eat shit!" with any other kind of answer.
Now go back to watching American Idol, or something. Now, I know this is going to warrant one long-winded post about how you hate american idol and are, in fact, a super-intelligent human being. Don't even bother!
I was thinking about writting a long, witty reply to your huge paragraphs full of juicy love, but then I came to my senses.
"In short: popular games are often popular because they are GOOD. Denial of this is nothing more than a symptom of rabid hard-core fanboydom and is deeply ugly."
Change the word "games" to "music", "TV shows", "movies", "mass-media-covered piles of crap", or even "operating systems" and throw yourself off a cliff, *insert insult of choice*.
Why the hell would the market leader want to change what has always worked, and will always work, to wit, pandering to the lowest common denominator? The masses love the stupidest games. Look at the sales for frogger, and "101 solitaire games" compilations and weep. Now, multiply that by the number of adolescents who will bite their own hands off for a chance to own the fashion statement of the moment. PS2, XBOX, both tried to become the Von Dutch shirts and Diesel jeans of videogames, and now, The Big N is shooting for that position with the ultra-cute Game Boy Micro.
Small aparté : I'm actually GLAD sony sells consoles to the mentally-challenged. It helps me determine whether so-and-so actually knows what the fuck he/she's talking about whenever we talk about video games :
"Gran Turismo 23! Metal Gear 45! Madden Whateverthefuckthisyearis! GTA : now you can even use a skateboard and yell "fuck!" in the street! Mario is for kiddies! Gnéhé! *wipes drool* Would you like fries with that, sir?" End troll-moddable aparté.
You want things to change in the industry? how about you... VOTE WITH YOUR FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!
Here's to you, ol' buddy. Whenever I saw you in the store, you were BOUGHT. Because you deserved every penny, because you always shattered past records. Okay, almost, but I'll let that "sunshine" business slide for today. Everyone has coming of age problems.
I celebrated today, at lunch, by whipping out my GBASP in front of everyone and finishing SMB in a speed run. Damn, it still is FUN.
Okay, some more fanboy spiel :
Actually, it's pretty sad.
Twenty years later, and still no other platformer has come close to anything Nintendo has ever done.
Hell, Shigeru could crap in a cartridge and I'd still buy it!
Why is it so? What do the others LACK? Come on, you bandicoots, you raymen, you hedgehogs, don't give me any crap, tell me why you aren't as iconic as the plump italian plumber!
It didn't catch in France, for all I know. There were a few people who bought the players, but then, they came to their senses once MP3 players came out.
Just sayin', is all.
Looks like the series is still dead for us SNES nostalgics.
Chain combos?
How about a game without FMV's, a solid storyline, and limited treadmilling? I'm not a hamster, you know.
Was it a "good games" list, or a "games that sold well" list?
'Cause that's what it fuckin' sounded like.
Most of these games were loved by the sheeple we have been forced to share our favorite pastime with once the PS1 arrived.
How about they make it a "best games that received mass media coverage and had a publicity budget that measured up to millions of dollars, which, as such, RUINED this industry because nowadays everything is a rehash of these games" ?
Because that's what it fuckin' WAS, that list.
I don't see any of the truly revolutionary games I've played in those last ten years. Oh, wait, there's one, right at the bottom of the first list. It's at the bottom because, "you know... For kids!"/obscure?
Have these guyes ever heard about emulation?

You know, wouldn't they have had just as much trouble downloading the ROM?
I keed, I keed.
It does look cool. Goldeneye was one of the only console FPS I could ever play, and it still constitutes an excellent game for those N64 nights right along Mario Kart, Smash Bros., and the sort.
Best of luck to them!
This internet thing is great.
Yesterday, I closed my paypal account.
Today, I vow never to use yahoo again!
Oh, wait. Never used it before...
Seriously, who the hell uses yahoo nowadays? Your grandma?

How about having friends? You know, people you can trade with, for a week or so.
It's on that very day, that I NEED to buy this console.
Y'Know, I live on the French Riviera, not far from Italy.
So, figure it out. Rei Merdes... Heh, heh...
So, these guys are actually nostalgic about a time when they were given wedgies by the people that actually got laid?

Keep on defending your internet honor, soldier!
I agree with you. :)
I didn't even manage to convince some moronic AC with a quarter of a brain. Shame on me!
