Well, it's been a while since my last post. After watching the E3 press conference for Nintendo, I simply have one question, what the heck is a Nintendo fanboy because I'm really not sure anymore. I know that I used to be. I used to play every Nintendo game. I have had every single Nintendo console so far. I mean, up until this generation, I didn't even have a non-Nintendo console. I broke that streak when I bought an XBox 360.
If Nintendo released a new game from one of its major IPs (Zelda, Mario, Metroid, ...) I would buy it in on launch. Does this still make me a fanboy? At the E3 news conference, no Mario games were discussed. No Metroid games were discussed. No Zelda games were discussed. Unfortunately, it does not look like Nintendo will even make any games such as these for at least the next year. So if I don't buy any Nintendo games, does that make me a former-fanboy or something?
Nintendo seems to care less about anyone other than casual gamers. With the releases of Wii Music, Wii Fit, and another Wii Sports game, this couldn't be more clear. So what happens if a person is a rabid fan of these games. Does the make them a casual hardcore fanboy? Can you even be a hardcore casual game fan?
Just thought I'd get some other people's thoughts on this dilemma.
P.S. At least we get a Wii remake of Samba de Amigo and a new pokemon game. Oh wait who the hell cares. Seriously, how many of you bought a Wii for remakes of old Sega games. No, we bought the damn system for Nintendo's classic IP's. Mario, Kirby(ok, we did get an announcement about a remake of Kirby Super Stars), Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid and many more.
