I find this to be extremely sad, but it seems as though Xbox is starting to lead. Which really sucks. (No offense to XBox, of course. I mean it's sad for gaming history, not that the XBox is bad.) Besides, I know the Wii is doing fairly well, but you know what? The reason it's selling so well is because non-gamers are buying into it so much. That didn't happen with most other consoles. And there's nothing wrong with non-gamers playing games, but... It's kind of sad when the gaming industry is starting to be dominated by non-gamer casual players, instead of real gamers like us. Am I the only one bothered by the large amount of non-gamers playing games? I mean, like people who only play a few games, got their DS just to play Brain Age, don't know anything about classics, and... Well, they're not real gamers. They're just regular people playing a few games. Which is fine, but not when they're dominating Nintendo's consoles. Nintendo keeps on pumping out games designed for non-gamers. In fact, these games are even CALLED non-games, apparently. It's crazy. It might sound a little weird, but I wish gaming could get back to... Gaming. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but I know a lot of people think I'm weird for thinking this way, too. x.x; Anyway. I think SMG had more newness to it than you give it credit for, Storm. All it really keeps from SM64 is the basic setup - go to different worlds, collect stars. That's how the Super Mario 3-D games work - SM64, Sunshine, Galaxy. They're supposed to have that setup. I never played Sunshine, but it's usually grouped with those two, so yeah. Besides, this one even had more of a story than most any Mario game has. It goes from "Mario, please come to the castle, I've baked a cake for you," to "OHSHI- FLYING, SPACE-TRAVELING CASTLE THING!" Besides, the whole comet idea was really new and interesting. I wish they'd done more with it - I had expected to have to do every single comet on every single world, not just one random comet and one purple coin comet. Yeah, those comets got extremely annoying on some worlds (*ahem,* Lava Spire), but they were really fun most of the time, and I wanted to do more of them.
I have to disagree with this. We were all looking for something new, and most of us found it. You're just looking for a different type of new. Fullmetal, Arnie, and the rest of us saw innovation and newness in it. We're just looking for different types of new, apparently. The way I see it, it's not old stuff with some spice, it's new stuff with some old-game spice. |
