Coping with Nintendo fan boys/girls

[zetastrike]

People have theorized Miyamoto had some hostility towards DKC because it was in direct in-house competition with his own pet project, Yoshi's Island. There was also a lot of pressure at the time for 2D games to emulate the look of 3D games and embrace the digitized graphics style which he as forgoing in his upcoming game.

Though I think you also have to look at it from his perspective, as Donkey Kong was his baby and Rare's vision for the character was drastically different from his. Control of the creation that he helped put Nintendo on the map with was now out of his hands. That's excuse enough to be a little raw and critical I think.

I don't know really know if Nintendo "forced" him to take back that quote for PR reasons (because what does he care he's thinking of retiring anyway) or if in recent years he just softened to the game as it became successful and time marched on.

I'd be mad too. Yoshi's Island is a thought out, better designed, better looking, superior game. The fact that everyone ignored it in favor of some flashy, shallow, run of the mill platformer, starring his brainchild, made by some small Euro dev, made him bitter. He was right about what was wrong with it, too. I'm fairly certain Nintendo made him retract his criticism shortly after that interview.

Ha, Miyamoto-san telling how it is.

I think what he did was Yoshi's Island and the "Crayon Pencil" visuals (which were also present in Kirby's Dreamland 3) were certainly something to be proud of. The whole game was very cute and an absolute joy to play

I agree on everything, but hearing baby Mario cry was a freaking torture.

there will always be fans
wether
religion
politics
ideologys
brands

etc...

there is nothing wrong with it. and yes sometimes being a fan makes you blind.
im a sega fan and when i play sor 1 2 3 i still live that day of being a fan. and i knew how happy i was. and if we think that fans are stupid? but they feel good being a fan.
so while we pick at the nin fans some of us are sega fans. so we have in common that we are both fans. and because of that only we should understand their side

[KitsuneNight]

fans are only stupid when they have blind unquestioning unyielding loyalty
where so much as questioning the integrity of their hallowed lord and object of worship is tantamount to heresy and even so much as gazing upon the unworthy competition is ground to have thyne eyes burned out

from the book of fanboy 1:3

[Semmie]

they are happy.ill join them once in a while.
if there is a sony fan ill join him with killzone
a nin fan ill join him with MK8
an xbox ill join with halo
sega they have to come to me.

the thing is when someone blindly believes in something in a way that he does not harm others
wether he be
christian muslim budhist nintendo fan sega fan whatever and he doesnt harm people except id he has to defend himself and his family. and that is basically the universal rule. then who am i to debate his blindness? he feels good in that dimension, and i can feel good with him with some games

[KitsuneNight]

video games are just entertainment you do know that right ?
they are niot life affirming or life shattering
nor is your excistence vlaidated by them or by defending them they are justa nother form of entertainment and a new media an interactive media

not on par with religion or relations or family or children

just to make sure that you know thata nd that we are all on the same page there
your grasp on rllaity seems to be tenuous at best

[Semmie]

not everyone thinks like you

have that in mind. your freedom can be an opression to the other. and that would be an oftopic i would go that course.

the thing is that they are happy and they can do the things that you and i do. work sleep eat drink having kids , do sports and even be inteligent inventors. but they might have that fan thing that you look down on, yet at the same time they reached more then you and me.
even im guilty at this i will not deny by looking down on these things, but when you think of it it has an arrogant taint where you are convinced to be open minded, while your not.

a fan is a fan

hell yeah LOL i even had a topic here where i beat up kids in my younger days. that is the wrong version of being fan LOL
but kids huh, take it with a grain of salt

I'll never understand this complaint. He doesn't even sound like a real baby (which would be torture).
