Hilarious look at Nintendo Fanboyism

The guys over at Pointless Waste Of Time never fail to amuse me with their hilarious articles.

The previous one which we’d reported about was ‘The Gamer’s Manifesto’. This time, its about the hype regarding the Nintendo Revolution. These guys have a few pretty valid points why the Nintendo Revolution might not be as successful as you’re hoping.

Here’s an excerpt from the article :

“Yes, you could make more than shooting games with the controller. You could make a basketball game where shooting the hoop with a light gun makes your player dunk the basketball. But let’s not pretend that’s the best way to play a basketball game. Are developers going to have to shoehorn “point and shoot” functionality into every freaking game? How does that help a driving game? Or a sports game? “

“Nintendo Doesn’t Love You.
I don’t mean that in the sense that if you showed up to Mr. Iwata’s mansion and asked him for a loan, bits of you would be found in the feces of his guard dogs the next day. I mean, that’s true, but that’s not the point.
The point is it’s silly to root for any corporation to “win” and especially one that’s been fined by the EU and the USA over their business practices. People forget that when Nintendo used to dominate the game industry, they tried to kill multi-platform gaming”

As always, expect to have some fun reading the article.
