re: Why does most people on this board hate on Nintendo?

I dont hate Nintendo in general. They are the reason I am playing high quality console games today.

I don't like the Wii and dont have high hopes for the Wii U.

Instead of focusing on the gamers that got Nintendo where they are they focused on the casual gamers who bought the console for the motiin control focused minigames and have been letting it collect dust for the past year plus. Does the Wii have some good games.... absolutely. But my favorite console is the PS3 because the focus of 95 percent of their games is the "hardcore" gamer.

I may be a little close minded when it comes to motion controls for wii versions of classic games because i grew up only using a controller. The "classic" series games that I played on the Wii were not enhanced at all my motion controls IMO. I really have tried to like them, but sitting in a chair twirling my arm isn't my idea of gaming.

Thats basically it i guess
