Expect to hear nothing but

All Nintendo does is milk the same franchises over and over again(even though it does have some validity to it)

and Blizzard is teh overrated.

But what kind of game could you make from a Nintizzard

or Blizztendo

I mean would it be a platformer

FPS

RTS

RPG

MMO

Action/adventure

I'd argue that Mario Galaxy looks far nicer than most of the games on the 360/PS3 and the same is true of Diablo 3 and starcraft 2

Nintendo usually make the best out of what they've got graphics wise (their true games anyway, i.e. not wii sports)

I think the Wiimote is a better controller for FPS, than the 360 or PS3 controler. You can not even play Point and Clicks that well with other controlers. The Wiimote would be for RTS than other controllers out right now. The Wiimote is better for party games than other controllers.

My statement is for console systems only.

You see, Blizzard is better because they don't make a low-tech console, sell it to you for way more then it is worth (the technology inside it) and tease you with some amazing games, then leave you hanging for a few years. Well, I guess you can never get overwelmed with games.... Blizzard always makes good games. Nintendo keeps putting out Mario Party games which no one seems to care much about anymore. I am starting to see a trend here. Blizz>Nintendo (as a developer, not their games, i am not going to get in the middle of that flame war).

Im suprised how dumb you are! I'm sure Super Mario Sunshine looks quite shoddy in comparison to Super Mario Galaxy! I'm quite sure SSBB looks 10 times better than Super Smash Brothers Melee. Im sure i could go on all day talking about how Nintendo games this generation look much better and run much better than previous installments of Nintendo games!

I'd carry on poking fun at your stupidity but im too busy laughing.

Nintendo is like exploiting the casual market and allowing trash games to go on their system. Blizzard on the other hand develop quality games that I will cancel my holiday trip and isolate myself from the world just to play their games.

They are on a completely different level, don't put the epic Blizzard together with the casual ninty.

Nintendo always makes their games have the best graphics possible on what they have. Super Mario Galaxy is very impressive for a Wii game. If Wii was as powerful as the 360 and PS3, then Nintendo would probably have the best looking games, technically and artistically. Nintendo always had impressive technical graphics.

Nintendo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Blizzard

Don't even compare them. Nintendo kicks the living crap out of Blizzard.

Blizzard casulaized the warcraft brand into the travesty that is WoW.

Hate in Nintendo all you want but Blizzard is just the same.



Before you mention Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 I will mention Super Mario Galaxy, Brawl and Metroid Prime 3.

in my personal opinion that would be a disaster, maybe they have been making games great in gameplay that is true in my opinion, but they have dramatical style, design and yes blizzard has storylines, those 3 are the main things I like about blizzard appart from nintendo that has games that I would say don't add up to my age, or its just not my thing, anyway if those would merge I think I would end up in a disaster, I think those 2 companies have pretty much simmilar vision of what a game should be, but the way they think and work I think its two opposite polaritis that would I would to say destroy each other

nitendo's best games generally have great gameplay and great graphics

blizzard deliberately don't great a technical masterpiece so that as many PC gamers can play thier games as possible .. it's not like crysis where only the better PCs can play the game smoothly

WoW says hi!

I don't think WoW says hi.

WoW and Blizzard game in general are pretty much for teens and young adults. Blizzard can't quite capture the kid audience like Nintendo does... or even the older folks. Blizzard will always satisfy the 15-34 demographic and that's fine, but to say Blizzard caters to all audiences is silly.

I think Blizzard is one of the most brilliant developers out there. All of their games are truly merits to gaming. After all, Starcraft is what really got me into gaming. Although Nintendo does have really great games, I still think Blizzard has the ability to blow Nintendo away in terms of developing. Their both great companies though.

Right,that's why Warcraft 3 was in 3D,had a completely new stoyline with a lengthy campaign,had two new armies and a new hero system along with a new creep system. Warcraft 2 had all of that right?

I don't suppose that made any sense to you though since you haven't played it.

How much trash has Nintendo released too though? Blizzard would never release a dud as bad as Mario Party 8....ever. They release fewer games, but games that are much more polished and much more addictive than anything Nintendo releases.

Catpee

Wait... you're faulting Nintendo for not polishing their games enough? Go play nearly any game in the main Mario or Zelda series and tell me it's not polished.

And while I guess you can criticize them for spinoffs, keep in mind that Nintendo has notdeveloped Mario Party (Hudson) or the Mario sports series (Camelot, Namco, Next Level Games, etc.).

well blizzard's strategy is different from nintendo's a bit. they make decent looking games that more importantly run on the average system well. the wii doesn't have an excuse because all wiis are the same they could have easily made the graphics a little better.

Does it matter? So what if nintendo makes games for people who like to play a few party games. It doesn't make me enjoy the 2007 goty any less.

Lol at the blizzard fanboys that are hating on Nintendo, they sure crack me up with their hypocrisy:

"Bu but all Nintendo does is milk the same franchise over and over again" - Yet Blizzard have been relying on the same 3 franchises since 1995. Shameful just shameful.

"LOLOL blizzard = teh hardcore and Kidtendo = teh casual" - Yet they made WoW the most casualized and shallow (not free) MMO in the whole market as of now... pathetic

"ERRR All of Nintendo games are just rehashes!!!!" - you mean like Diablo III? like Starcraft II? Where is the innovation Blizzard! Where is it?

Fun fact (yes I'm posting my opinions as fact like you fanboys) Blizzard AND Nintendo are considered by most gamers top of the line developers of the same caliber when it comes to making masterpieces, so just deal with it.

Nintendo =Blizzard.

Blizzard would never merge with ninentdo because nintendo's consoles cant handle too much blood like D3.

And never ever say again , that nintendo is the same as blizzard , because blizz gave us truly original new gameplays thru their games , and on very difficult genres, like MMORPGs and RPGs and RTS. Not just kiddy image , easy to make PLATFORMS. Now go play some SMG plz

You mean like No more heroes? ah let me guess you haven't played. i don't blame you it got M rating and it's sharp satire wasn't what most kids who play WoW (lol) are accustomed to, it was too sharp for it's own good.

Yet also Blizzard haven't given us an JRPG as hard as Earthbound or a SRPG as mind bending and frustrating as Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and let's not go and talk about the F-Zero series.
