We’ve seen time and time again underpowered gaming consoles crush their more powerful competitors time and time again. Right, because specs and graphics are all that matter, right? There’s no way in hell a system can be successful if their processing power and graphics don’t match up to those of their competition. Oh hey, Other M was a C+ game at best everybody act like its’ the end of the fucking world and rant incessantly on how NIntendo ruined the personality of a character who previously didn’t even talk!Īnd that brings us to the Switch, and while some people have drawn ire for multiple things the top of that list is how the console is ‘under powered.’ Super Mario Galaxy is a great game everybody whines about Nintendo using their IPs too much (because NO other publisher does that, right?) Hyrule Warriors was a ton of fun rant and rave about there being no online multiplayer. Who cares, bitch about how it doesn’t play DVDs and let Sony and Microsoft build that wall right back. Hey look, the Nintendo Wii revolutionized technology and broke down the wall between casual and hardcore gaming and taking a step toward ending the tired stereotype of gamers being deadbeat losers who still live with their parents. Good luck finding anyone to talk to about that, because all anyone wants to do is piss and moan about how it’s the worst game ever because Egoraptor didn’t like it. So Skyward Sword is a great game, isn’t it? It looks like a painting come to life, the characters are great, the writing is excellent, the villain is a ton of fun, the gameplay is immersive, and it has a wonderful story that fits organically into the Zelda lore and mythos with an ending that’s both heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Does Nintendo get credit for saving a potential franchise from vaporware? No, instead everybody loses their shit and goes on a year-long bitchfest about how Nintendo stole the game from Sony and Microsoft even though the game wasn’t theirs in the first place and both companies wanted nothing to do with.Īnd that’s not an isolated incident. Nintendo stepped in and said that they’d front the money if Bayonetta 2 would be a Wii U exclusive. Case in point, when the first Bayonetta game failed to make back what it cost no publisher wanted anything to do with it, but Platinum still wanted to make a sequel. Seriously, it seems like for every one person who praises Nintendo, there’s 50 uptight nitpicky asshole straw-graspers that focus exclusively on the flaws of something while also blowing them way out of proportion to make them look like bigger problems than they actually are. The problem is that this still happens even when Nintendo does something good. Now the company is far from perfect and has made its’ share of mistakes, so I don’t begrudge these people when Nintendo genuinely fucks up. So it’s no secret that shouting doom and gloom for Nintendo is something that all the ‘cool kids’ do. I mean, I’ll give a more in-depth look at the Switch itself once I get one, but for the moment I want to talk about something else. It outsold all previous Nintendo consoles at launch in two days, Breath of the Wild is amazing based on both critical response and general world of mouth, and on the whole the Switch has thus far proven that Nintendo won’t be abandoning console gaming and becoming a mobile developer like their investors and shareholders want anytime soon.īut I’m not going to talk about that. So the Nintendo Switch is fast approaching being a week old and it’s already breaking ground. I’m really excited to share these works with all of you! Here’s hoping many people boot up their old copies of Super Mario 64 today and remember when gaming was brought into the 3rd dimension. Here they are in all their glory for you to enjoy!Īlso, for those who may be interested in purchasing a print of one of these pieces, you can purchase as many as you’d like over at my INPRNT shop! Super Mario 64 is not only one of my all time favorite video games, but it’s also one of the most influential titles in the gaming industry, even today! That’s why I felt it deserved a proper celebration of its 20th anniversary by making paintings inspired by the game’s main 15 courses. Here it is folks! I’ve been hacking away at this project since last November and the day has finally come to reveal it in its entirety! HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO SUPER MARIO 64!!!
