Things That Bother You About Gaming

Maybe he's just not a fan of the F-Zero series himself, despite it being a series that has done well in the past with gamers. It certainly wouldn't be the first time for something like this. I mean, just because Miyamoto is the face of the entire Nintendo franchise doesn't necessarily mean that he personally likes every Nintendo IP, the most well-known example being that he has admitted to not thinking that highly on the classic DKC games despite their immense popularity and great sales for their time.

I'm sure they could do just as much new with F-Zero as they could with a new Mario Kart.

Or another New Super Mario Bros.

Also remember that Miyamoto didn't like F-Zero GX... and that it bombed.

But I see Nintendo giving it a shot on the Wii-U since F-Zero is a game about speed and flash. The game honestly didn't fit the Wii very well at all.

[Rynnec]

The frowny face was because I thought this implied it may be a while before we see another F-Zero game for a while until Nintendo decides what they can do with the series. I don't mind Miyamoto not liking the IP itself.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I had an impression with Nintendoland that those would be the IPs they would be pushing for the upcoming generation. I'm not sure otherwise why they included an F-Zero game.

But I guess if Captain Falcon is the only representative AGAIN in SSB4, then it's definitely time to worry about F-Zero.

So remember how game sites fervently deny that they are anti-Nintendo?

It turns out that they are.

And that is why this industry is falling apart.

Figured it would be Kotaku, but according to the edit, it's not. Gotta' be Polygon then.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The thread gets bogged down in politics, but I do think the point is very valid. All opinions about working with Nintendo on the eshop has been positive so far, so maybe its best to try finding another angle.

And know this isn't as stupid and pointless as Doritosgate, but I would figure it would merit better discussion.

[Avaitor]

It can't be 1Up.

[Foggle]

Doritosgate was, and still is, absolutely hilarious.

It's pretty crummy that gaming journalists ask leading questions to get controversial headlines that reinforce their own biases, but honestly, that's just what journalists do. Especially in today's alarmist culture. But it's no different from any other industry, and like any other industry, few of its followers would actually care either way if Polygon or whoever tried to use an out of context comment from some indie devs as ammo against Nintendo.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

For the record, I?m NOT talking about IGN, GameSpot, Eurogamer, or Destructoid. The site I?m speaking of is just as well known as those sites though.

If its not one of them, then the only 3 other really big sites that I know of (that I would agree are as big and popular as those sites, at least), would be GameTrailers, 1UP, and G4 (I know X-Play is canceled and whatnot, but itself has also had a section devoted to games, and has talked about other games that weren't reviewed by X-Play). I have no idea of 1UP is anti-Nintendo as I never go to that site anymore. GameTrailers isn't really anti-Nintendo, either, and they don't do to many interviews as it is unless its a special occasion like E3 or whatnot. Of those 3 sites, G4 to me would sound like the most likely culprit as they have almost always been strongly anti-Nintendo.

[Spark Of Spirit]

GameTrailers, G4, or Polygon all sound very likely. They all seem to cater to specific audiences to the expense of others. But I would doubt 1up doing it, they seem to be one of the few sites that have a lot of fairness in regards to every platform.

[Foggle]

G4 and GameTrailers are pretty biased, sure, but my money is definitely on Polygon. They're the most likely to do something like this from what I've seen.

No, GameTrailers can certainly be bias, but they aren't anti-Nintendo, or at least far less so than other big sites like IGN. They're anti-Sonic if you can label them as anything, but if any of those sites is guilty of being labeled as anti-Nintendo, its G4 above all else. Well, then again I don't really know much of anything about Polygon, but if that site happens to be the culprit in this case, I question the author's words in saying that its as big as sites like IGN and GameSpot, since I myself have barely even heard of it before.
