So originally I had intended on this blog being about the gaming community as a whole, and I was going to talk about the Nintendo Fanboys, and then talk about the “Other” Fanboys, and then last but not least just talk about trolls in general.

But it was then that it hit me that games like Modern Warfare 2 were going to sell 7 million copies on their first day whether I hate that type of game or not. Or that the gaming community as a whole has become nothing but little children that are being force fed garbage time after time and yet they eat it up and are completely blind to the great content that is out there.  I do miss  games like Super Metroid or Duck Tales, but I also look forward to games like Mass Effect and Tales of Graces! With all this being said, let me just say a few words to each member of the gaming community:

“The Others” : I consider these to be the gamers that spend more time on Wii forums but are actually “fanboys” of the 360 or the ps3, and actually dislike the Nintendo Wii for “everything it stands for this generation.” Their statements always start with “looks like crap” when describing a Wii title or “this is why Nintendo has turned their backs on the hardcore, the wii is nothing but a toy.” The only thing I really have to say to these guys is this: You are the ones who forgot what gaming use to be about and it’s about time you grow up and move on. The argument that so many gamers use against the Nintendo Wii is that it has become a gaming console for the “casual,” yet if you actually ask someone to define what casual stands for, you will get as many different definitions as you do people. It’s seriously time we grew up and stopped treating every argument like a 50 pound orangutan throwing feces everywhere, and start realizing that Nintendo is just Nintendo, and there are no words to describe the Wii other than a successful console that could.

“The Ninty Fan” : Okay seriously, if you don’t own stock with Nintendo or if you aren’t the Marketing department of Nintendo; Get the Heck Over Yourselves!! Nintendo can screw up you know? One of the things that makes us human is the fact that we screw up every once in awhile, and I hate admitting it just as much as anyone else, but even Nintendo has their faults and we should embrace these faults and make sure Nintendo understands our complaints so that they can make a better product the next time. And one more thing: learn to fight back. If the 50 pound orangutan is throwing feces at you then it would probably best that you didn’t throw feces back, instead you must evolve and learn to put a cage around the orangutan and slowly drain the oxygen out of the room.

Everyone else: I understand that complaining about Nintendo this generation is the easy thing to do, but since when is having games that allow others to sit down and play with you a bad thing? Since when do we judge a book by the TV it runs on? And since when did the Marketing departments at the big wig studios such as EA stick mind control devices into your skull that told you there really is such a thing as a “hardcore” game, and those are the only games you need to buy? Also why does every game have to sell over 1 million to be successful? Just because a game has to sell a lot on the 360 to be successful does not mean it will have to sell that much on the Nintendo Wii to be successful, the development cost are a whole lot less for the Wii and many games have been successful without having to sell over 300k!

In conclusion: This one was much shorter than my other ones, but I am tired and I almost didn’t even do the part 3 to this one because of the recently events with Dragon Age: Origins and Modern Warfare 2. When games like Modern Warfare 2 sell over 7 million in their first day, while games like Dragon Age: Origins will be lucky if they break the 1 million mark: then I truly believe the gaming industry as a whole has lost it’s own grip on reality. No wonder games on the Wii don’t sell all that great sometimes, it’s not like great games on the other consoles sell as good as the mediocrity  that is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
