OK. Bongweasel does have posting rights, but he’s too busy… yeah shit, what does that motherfucker do all day? Anyway, he sent me a soul-angering link, wherein Nintendo President Satoru Iwata gives a glimpse of the future of the Nintendo DS. And it’s real pretty. Pretty like a shot in the junk.
“In a time when people are saying to themselves, ‘We aren’t playing [many] video games, compared to the old days,’ I’m always thinking and working on ways to increase the population of gamers. And that’s also the reason behind the development of the DS. In order to get those [nongamers] to play games, we need to make video games that…relate to those people. If we only keep making games that fit in existing categories, like action games, racing games, role-playing games, sports games, adventure games, strategy games, and puzzle games, people won’t turn around to look, because they already feel that those kinds of games have nothing to do with them.”
“For that reason, we need to come up with new ideas that will expand the definition of video games. Our [game] Puppy Times, which is slated for release in April, is one example of a product that will expand the definition of games. It’s meant to be enjoyed by all people who love dogs, unlike traditional dog-breeding simulation games.”
Please. Please. Please tell me this is a joke. Please tell me that the man is joking. Please tell me that he doesn’t actually beleive that he needs to ignore the gaming base that pushed the industry beyond fucking FILMS last year!
They really hate us. I mean, I was joking around with this image the other day, but they really want to make us suffer! It’s like we’re Tina, and Nintendo is Ike. And he’s just reeling back saying “baby, why you always gotta make me hit you!?!”
And we just cry, put some makeup over the bruise, and give the motherfucker more money. GET SOME STRENGTH GIRL, LEAVE HIS ASS!
puppy times… now thats something everyone can enjoy
Nintendo is cluelessThis, along with many other comments by Nintendo execs, just proves that Japanese game developers have no idea what is happening around the world. Yes, it’s true that Japan’s game market is shrinking, however both European and American game markets are expanding, America’s at a phenomenal rate. It’s not that they hate us… well maybe they do, but I can’t believe they have no idea what is happening in the world’s largest game market. If it wasn’t for the hordes of Nintendo fanboys that keep that company afloat by purchasing every crappy first-party game that they produce, that company would be dying a much deserved death. I mean, come on, what kind of company uses a different media format on their games just so they can charge developers $3 a disk? Assholes.
