Thieving hands of Sony?Leonyx said:Nintendo is the only first party developer that's doing unique things with their characters, so I don't think I'd like to see them in the theiving hands of Sony.
Because every non-Nintendo game is a shitty movie game...New Super Yoshi said:Mario Games would suck and be like movie games.
I thought they only did that once.Leonyx said:They do pass off their characters to other third party developers sometimes, so I guess we get to see what they would do with them.

And the drive for the NES. And 3D gaming. And the joystick. And the modern first-person shooter.Remilia Scarlet said:Thieving hands of Sony?Leonyx said:Nintendo is the only first party developer that's doing unique things with their characters, so I don't think I'd like to see them in the theiving hands of Sony.
What did they steal? All I can think of are the Wii's *bleep*ty motion controls.
Sony are cool they where involved in one of the best series ever and you only need to look at my avatar and sig to know which series.Mario would be kinda bad if anyone else owned him though.Leonyx said:They do pass off their characters to other third party developers sometimes, so I guess we get to see what they would do with them.

There is something to be said about Sony's relative unoriginality (though I lol @ the term "stealing" since it implies good ideas shouldn't be appropriated for the good of industry because of some warped sense of ownership) but even there, the examples you provide are bogus.And the drive for the NES. And 3D gaming. And the joystick. And the modern first-person shooter.
Should I go on?
uhhhh if you're talking about the Famicom Disk drive, 1: console add-ons did not start with the NES and 2: Sony never made any system using rewritable disks.the drive for the NES
Nevermind that 3D gameplay existed as early as this and remained somewhat common on western computer platforms, how the hell can anyone claim ownership on an entire dimension. "3D Gaming" is such a basic, varied and wide-encompassing concept that claiming that anyone is "stealing" it is ludicrous. Is every video game played on a screen "stealing" from Spacewar? Are every consoles with swapabble games "stealing" from the Fairchild Channel F?And 3D gaming.
If you're talking about the Analog sticks, those existed on home consoles as far back as the Atari 5200 and the Vectrex, and they remained used in dedicated arcade setups and the ocassional peripheral. Nintendo simply reintroduced them as the default on home consoles and made them more viable than what they were before.And the joystick
I have no idea what you mean by "modern" (fully 3D? The two-weapons, health-regen, popamole style of gameplay popularised by Halo?), but even there most of what I said about 3D gaming also applies.And the modern first-person shooter.
If you're sticking to the lopside Gamespot and IGN console wars (lol) flamefest, maybe. It's silly to say Nintendo has never been (and currently isn't) given accolades for all the innovations and advances it brought to the medium.Nintendo saved this market with their own hands, and they're repayed with a bunch of bashing
Yeah like playstation move which is the same as the Wii remote but less cool, they also copy Microsoft's idea. The PS3 would have not been an HD console if Microsoft did not make theirs HD.Leonyx said:Yeah, I worded my post too strongly. Sony has a habit of taking ideas Nintendo has popularized and putting it in their own creations. I just don't like how they rarely come up with things themselves, but they do improve on the designs, so it does help the gaming industry. I have nothing against Sony.
Actually, PlayStation Move is the same as the Wiimote, but more functional. Also, just because Microsoft made a HD compatible console first, doesn't mean Sony hadn't already intended to do the same; in fact, it was the only logical step forward for all three companies in the way of graphics processing, making Nintendo the anomaly for sticking to 480p resolution when designing the Wii.New Super Yoshi said:Yeah like playstation move which is the same as the Wii remote but less cool, they also copy Microsoft's idea.

Ok I get what you mean but nintendo said that the Wii U would be in HD.Remilia Scarlet said:Actually, PlayStation Move is the same as the Wiimote, but more functional.

Really, Mario in a shooter, no way.Crackin355 said:I guess I would expect Mario the Shooter 50th Special Gold Arcade Edition.
I would see Popeye Kart 7 and Super Popeye 3Dvland coming out.Remilia Scarlet said:Well Donkey Kong was originally supposed to be a Popeye game before they lost the license for the latter, so yer scenario almost happened.
