[quote name='Venkman']Nintendo. I can't stand Mario and his utter ridiculousness.
The music in every Mario game has sucked for the past 10 years. Always MIDI, always annoying. Mario Tennis. mario Golf. Mario kart. Now at E3- Mario Soccer, Mario baaseball.
mario Party. Mario toilet paper. You name it.
Link could have a voice, dialog (spoken with voice acting), and fully orchestrated music. Instead they give you the same game we have been playing since the N64 with a new gimmick. Sailing. horseback riding (a throwback to Zelda 64), or turning into an animal.
nintendo speaks of making games instead of advancing power but all they have done in the past 6 years is release countless number of sequels, re-release games from older platforms, and release a million different versions of the gameboy (GB micro, SP, advance, color, pocket, etc).
The Nintendo DS, although cool, has very, very few games. Somebody put this company to sleep or force them to make games for another system.[/QUOTE]
1) Jak & Daxter, Jak 2, Jak 3, Jak X
2) Halo: CE, Halo 2 ... [Halo 3]
3) Ratchet & Clank, R&C: GC, R&C: UYA, Ratchet whatever-it's-called
4) SOCOM, SOCOM2, SOCOM3
All the same game with some tweaks/gimmicks, with a little cross-genre action thrown in to boot (Jak X). The only difference between what Nintendo does and what MS and Sony are doing is that Nintendo has been doing it longer than either of them combined. Releasing sequels to established franchises is easy money for these companies.
