I didn't ask why they are remaking it, don't state the obvious!!!

Well there are alot of kids who are unfamiliar with the past games, and it's nice that those new age fools can experience what we experienced years erlier, because we all t=nkow they wouldn't touch anything older than a Gameboy SP.

yeah I mean those new aged fools haven't played the real things that were the bomb

Snot nosed punks is good, but new-aged fools? They'll no more than we'll ever get to. Just because they are making one of the biggest mistakes of their lives not touching some of the original handhelds, which were the best...

Yeah well, maybe not new aged fools, but still.

what that was all that I could think of

PM:they are remaking it because they haven't remade it yet & they have remade red,blue, & yellow
Iggy:exactly they were the best games ever

Actually, they did FireRed and LeafGreen. I'm not sure about Blue and I'm positive they don't have yellow remade.

I finally broke it down, what follows is a list of things each gamer values, believes or has as opposed to the other

Nintendo (Wii) - Sony (PS3)

The Sensor - Analog sticks
Game play - Plot, sound, and graphics
Playing a game for 500 hours - Having a game that’s 500 hours long
The ending and then the Real ending - Having three or more endings
Unnecessary attachments - Unnecessary expansion packs
Unique fighter game play - Wider character selection in fighters
Innovation in consoles - Innovation in the games
Text on the bottom of the screen - Dialogue
Rainbow colors - Gun metal grey or dystopia brown
If you can make a new way to play then do it - Does we can mean we should? There are bad ideas
Hit an enemy and you are rewarded - Hit an enemy and you get a blood splatter
Quick time events - Unsuitable cut scenes
Timed attacks - Stat systems
“High and mighty” flamers - Very “vicious” flamers
Nostalgia - Live in the now
Gaming is a hobby - Gaming is an art form
Mostly E games - Mostly M games
Mario is an old friend - Mario is a tired overused symbol
Sony is on its way out - Sony is an underdog
Cheap systems - you get what you pay for and I don’t mind paying more
Plot devices - Symbolism
Freshen up familiar formats with new additions - Make new and improved formats
Merchandise is cool with me - I wont support a “sellout”
Sony is unethical for exclusively licensing good games - Sony is smart to get the good games for themselves
Nintendo is more successful - Nintendo only values profit
Wont shut up about how great they are - Wont shut up about how the other guy sucks
Super Mario theme remixes - One winged angel remixes
Nintendo is friendly - Nintendo is kiddy
Hate framed as open-mindedness - Honest and pure Hate
Treats Games like shows with many episodes - Treats games like books with few sequels
Usually wins arguments - Usually feels ganged up on in arguments
Large in number - A dieing but determined breed
Fanatic about their side - Protective of their side
Portrait of Ruin - Symphony of the Night
People like recognizable characters - People like recognizable controls
User made content - Users decide the path of the game
Makes games and consoles - Makes consoles works with others to have games
Wants the other guy to see it their way - Wants the other guy to shut up
Dismisses counter arguments as moot regardless of their points - Just wont listen
Spam the opposition - Yell at the opposition
Pioneering - Build on what we know works
Wave of party games - Wave of unknown games
Advertising on TV - Advertising on the web
One level of back comparability - Indefinite back compatibility
Sony fans hate everything anyone likes - Nintendo fans kick Sony when its down
Angry at Sony fans - Bitter about Nintendo fans
Remakes - Get it right the first time
Sound effects - Ordinal sound tracks

Isn't this pretty much a way to cause another console war? Just drop it.

Im actualy trying to be fair for once, I paired unpoular things with unpopular things and fanboy stuff with fanboy stuff....

yes, but there were a few shots at nintendo, and less at sony...

well I did my best (T^T)

Yes, but it still causes these arguments. It would be better not to do anything, just because everyone gets so excited about it. Someone says
"Mario's a tool!"and then someone else screams, "no! You're a tool..." And it gets out of control.

I tried to outline the way each side sees things to prevent that... the opposition based on what I have heard from their arguments

Yes, but this place is to ridiculous to bring it up....

Afraid I dont follow....

Everyone gets so angry when anyone says anything about the other group. Especially you and Iggy. (No offense, but it's true!)

which is why I placed each statement next to the oposite veiwpoint

The problem isn't that you've stated this, it's that it was brought up, and so it can be misinterpreted.

sad news today.... stupid but sad.... just because Im posting this does not mean Im saying that the hype for the wii killed someone I just thought it was an amusing story

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/15/too-high-a-price-for-a-wii/

I'm tempted to laugh, oddly enough. I have heard story's of people getting trampled to death in the rush for the three consoles when they first came out, but nothing like this.

I know right

Who would host a contest like this? Did they not realize they were endangering peoples lives over a console?

Okay, so I'm kind've upset at sony, because it got the coolest game ever all for it's own!
That game looks to cool... If you don't know what I'm talking about, search "the last guardian" on youtube...

oh not you to, Sony gets cool games to them selves sure but that's happened to me before with nintendo, as you may know one of my all time favorite games is called Odin Sphere, however the spiritual successor to that game, called Oboro Muramasa Youtode is only on the wii, this is just one example so Nintendo has also robed me of the oportunity to play a game I know Ill like but do you know why I havent brought it up until now? Because in capitalism this is 100% acceptable, heck its actualy encouraged! I am so sick of everyone b*tching about how sony is this evil corporation that steals good games away from the public to save their dieing business when your actualy successful corporation (Ive checked sony's income is down Nintendo's is way up) does the same thing all the time! you are no exempt from this people! and what pray tell is YOUR excuse for quote "wrong" practices? You are in the black!

furthure more Id like to say that now that gameing is evolved to such a high level what maters are changes in the games themselves with new concepts and storylines, and (exept for the wiii which has a diffrent mode of play all togeather) gameing is more or less the same for most systems (sony is still beter however) and what will mater most soon enugh are the games themselves so we are going to see this exclusive lisesing stuff alot more and frankly Im not suprized

Wow, that was not needed.
