CAGiversary!
I was reading the IGN Gamecube mailbag and I came across a letter that made a point that I had pondered long ago and had just resurfaced...
...what the hell is wrong with Nintendo?
Mario Sunshine...sucked.
And that's all we got. Is that the only exclusive Nintendo platformer? I love platformers. What the hell?
Look at Sony:
They released Jak and Daxter...and then TWO SEQUELS!!!!
They released Ratchet and Clank...and then TWO SEQUELS!!!!
They released Sly Cooper...and then A SEQUEL!!!
And each of these franchises has a game in development!
And there's a friggin' ORIGINAL Daxter game scheduled for release on the PSP later this year.
How many exclusive, quality, First-Person-Shooters are there on the GameCube? Name one. What...is Geist the first exclusive FPS on the system? Have there been others? Are they so lackluster that their name are totally unfamiliar?
What about XBOX? Playstation? Can you name FPSs for those systems? I bet you can.
RPGs? Sure it's got Baiten Kaitos and some kind of Final Fantasy down-grade. Wind Waker kicked ass, no doubt, Four Swords was silly though--just gimmicky crap trying to push the connectivity feature. But is that all? Name all the good PS2 RPGs you can think of...I don't think you have enough room using all of your fingers.
What the hell, Nintendo? NES and SNES kicked ass, N64...kinda sucked...but had it's shining moments...why have you decided to alienate gamers? I've been waiting for an awesome, graphically advanced, Pokemon RPG on the GameCube since launch (the last Pokemon game I played was Blue)...and you're releasing this crap that looks like first-gen PS2. Have Iwata and Miyamoto just gone off the deep end? Are they doing lines and throwing darts at their "what retarded idea should we do next?" board? Is that what it is?
Goddamn, Nintendo. If you're gonna half ass it, just go third-party already.
