Pretty sure Vinesauce corruptions perfectly embody drugs.

"Hey kid, you wanna try some Nintendo?"

Not Hank, you?

I thought Mother was made by Nintendo/APE/HAL? I don't think Square-Enix had anything to do with it.

Waitin' on Year of Wario...

I'll agree with this. The games that have left the most emotional impact on me are not AAA titles with immense stories, they've always been small titles that are clever in the gameplay aspect - the reason why games like Pacman Championship Edition DX and Wario Lands 2-3 are still my favorites.

Whatever, it's all opinion.

I can't accept Pokemon for what it is. It NEEDS to be something it isn't for once in its life.

I still don't get it. It's perhaps the most vanilla RPG I've ever laid my eyes on. No intriguing story like an Earthbound, no cool gameplay like a Mario and Luigi, absolutely nothing going for it - and yet people still go out of their way to love it, and play it, and dismiss any negative notions about it. It drives me…

Everyone's getting so excited over GTA 5. And I'm just sitting here, playing Wario Land 3 on my 3DS...

The main problem is this:

I don't actually like it too much if a game gives you too much choice.

Tanuki, not a raccoon. It's a Japanese creature, typically used in folklore.

Right on!

"self-righteous git"

Remember how you said someone sounded like a "self-righteous asshole" earlier in the topic? There are approximately 57 million DSes in the US - actually MORE than Japan's 33 million DSes. And Europe still has more than Japan, at 52 million DSes.

Also, you just made fun of someone for throwing someone out of the argument, didn't you?

I like how you immediately throw handheld games out of the argument because they're not relevant, despite being in the pockets of nearly everyone.

I like how you claim that Nintendo has no variety when they've only released, I don't know, Drill Dozer, Golden Sun, Custom Robo, Chibi Robo, 1080, Xenoblade Chronicles and other such games after their N64 days.

Am I the only one around here who plays games for their gameplay and not just the "interactive art" aspect? Games can give emotion without being pretentious, or barely even games.
