Re-designing the Wii U and getting rid of the GamePad will destroy all the games that currently require the GamePad. That would be a stupid idea on Nintendo's behalf if this happened.

It doesn't matter which Zelda game you start with, but I would recommend playing The Wind Waker before Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. I really wish I could wind back the years and experience all the Zelda games for the very first time once again. As for Pokemon, the newer games are certainly more fluid and convenient, but the first two generations (Red/Blue and Gold/Silver) are still the best. They may be a little sluggish compared to the newer games, but their general game play is exactly the same.

For as long as I play games I want to play Nintendo consoles.

Yasunori Mitsuda created something truly special when he recorded the soundtrack to Chrono Trigger. Every song he composed was absolutely perfect for the situation. Corridors of Time has been my favourite song of the soundtrack from the moment I heard it.

Final Fantasy IV, FInal Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Secret of Mana, Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Persona 3 FES, Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Terranigma, EarthBound, Kingdom Hearts and Suikoden are probably my favourites.

I was born in 1991 and my Dad had me playing games when I was about 2 years old, so for about 21 years. Gaming has and always will be a big part of my life.

PaRappa the fucking Rapper. That'd make my year.

He said in his original comment that you'd have to be an idiot to buy what Nintendo are selling. Funnily enough I wasn't the only person to take him up on the issue. Somebody else also criticised what he said. The comment is on page two of this thread if you want to see it for yourself, but I'll just quote what he said:

"Nintendo makes sub standard consoles and has sub standard services. All this could be over looked but they then have premium prices. They also have sub standard software selection. Only a idiot would buy what nintendo is selling. Now if the wii u was say 150 bucks then you could over look the many faults. However when even cell phones have similar power and fit in your pocket why would you buy a wii u for 300 bucks.

You can buy a ps3 or 360 with a much better game selection and 3rd party support. You can add 100 bucks and get a ps4 with 5x the power of the wii u. You can even buy a 2ds and get nintendo games portable. All these options have a much better value than the wii pew."

Truthfully he made some points that I do agree with, but its just plain ignorant of somebody else's tastes and opinions to even suggest that only idiots buy what Nintendo sells. I know the Wii U has the worst tech, but I'm fine with that. That doesn't make me an idiot. In fact, if anything, a comment like that just shows his own idiocy. Quite ironic really. It seems impossible, especially in the gaming community, for somebody to like something without somebody else criticising their opinion. It's sad.

Philadelphia or Catch Me If You Can.
