You're the one taking it personal. Once AGAIN you are bothering in explaining you you bought the damned thing.
You asked, I answered. There you have it...
As I said before, there is nothing wrong in having fun with something. But that doesn't mean that it isn't going through trouble in the market. It is. And that is what we discuss in this thread. Why you always have to argue that everything's great because you can play 15yo games in new hardware is beyond me.
I grew up playing those gems where creativity was key to success for a great system. On a second note, before I parted with my old Wii system, I wasn't going to let over $600 USD go with it in those games and independent titles go with it. I've been dealing with trying to reduce the amount of spaghetti attached to the back of my TV. Support for the original Wii is gone and plan on donating it to a nursing facility where Wii Sports is a excellent physical therapy tool for range of motion.
Another thing is your whole "you all haters I'm the true gamer" bullshit.
No one blindly hates Nintendo or Sony. If people here dislike those brands of hardware/software they have their own reasons. Having a personal opinion on what you like (or DON'T like) doesn't make you less of a gaming fan.
Your point being? There are many haters etc. I've dealt with for loving the SMS over the NES where here in the U.S., was a absolute dismal failure. It didn't make playing Phantasy Star any less fun but the arguments in grade school were a riot. Your perception of me is way off base and out of line but whatever tickles your taint.
You feel like a sir for expressing how you love all consoles no matter how shit they are doing. That's okay. Just don't criticize others for having "blind hate" when you don't even consider why people dislike the products in the first place. Or worse yet, you ignore what reasoning others base their opinions on based on YOUR OWN personal opinions!
Is that what a forum is for? Sharing opinions? Expressing the way I like something despite its marketing failures. Sony is far more devoted to PS4 right now. Any average person knows this. What I don't understand is the constant attack for liking something despite it being a failure or "uncool" etc.
Right now, the Vita is a blunder. That is what is being discussed in this thread.
Good for you that you got a good deal out of it. But that doesn't mean the thing isn't a bust! Sony needs to act fast.
Three pages of everyone saying the same thing and doing some sort of victory dance. Why not move on and be happy with what you have? I know Sony has made major mistakes in marketing the Vita so is it a sin for enjoying it for what it can do? Castlevania SOTN on the go is a win for me despite the larger problem at hand.
Also, Sega an underdog? I became a Sega fan in the MegaDrive days. Good luck trying to find someone who owned a Super Nintendo in Portugal.
Many of us are here because of Sega once being the dominant force in many places.
Sega did have some markets that the Mega Drive was a hit bit it wasn't worldwide throughout it's life. Japan still had the PC Engine as a dominant force throughout that console generation despite it not being marketed in the UK and trailing dead last in the U.S.A.
There were faithful fans of the system here though as it was popular among fans of shmups and the Ys series. It was expensive to have the complete system early on with the CD attachment costing $349 alone back in 1990. That didn't include the console which also had one controller port.
It was in far worse shape in the market if you were to compare it to the Vita, mainly due to the cost of ownership and having to buy a multitap accessory just to play multiple player games on it.
The Genesis released and I picked one up and enjoyed the shit out of Castle of Illusion and many other games. The Genesis here at launch did have some faithful ports of games from Capcom which gave it an edge and with Madden Football from EA, a monster was born with the first great American Football title. Once the SNES released, the schoolyard arguments started once again even while I was in high school.
Round and round we went, console wars never end... Back then it was about the games and colors and sprites and other technobabble that most had no real idea what they were talking about. Just some article from some random magazine.
The Super NES eventually took the lead while Sega had so much plugged into the Genesis to stay somewhat relevant but really. None of it really mattered. We all played what got our hands on as ports were now ammo for console battles... Street Fighter II was the real killer for the Genesis... If you wanted to play it at home, it was on the Super NES.
During that generation, I often refer it as the " Golden Age" of video gaming. Many of the best games of all time saw the light during that time on both the Genesis/Mega Drive as well as the Super NES which was home to some of the most memorable RPG's of all time. The Genesis had the best action titles bar none with Sonic (of course) and many others when Konami started producing for Sega and when Street Fighter II finally hit the Genesis with one of the best controllers ever, the six button arcade pad.
So many franchises for both systems were hard to forget and again, one main reason why I loved the Original Wii and being able to still play the greats without a dozen consoles hooked up for a quick fix of Streets Of Rage II or if I feel like hitting the wayback machine and playing Super Mario World or Legend of Zelda on the original NES. Nothing wrong with reliving the classics, I just refuse to use emulators on a PC... It's just not the same feeling.
