I single out Nintendo, because they're really the only company who has their own character fanchise. Mario, Samus, Link, Star Fox, F-Zero, etc. Microsoft and Sony don't. I never said that people should buy Sony games. I just said people should demand better from Nintendo's games, than to just eat up anything they put out. Other company's are guilty of the similar things, but Nintendo is really the most blatant example.

They still produce products, though quality is debateable. Sure, there is a lot of brilliant innovation included in many of their titles, but actual gameplay and design - with some exceptions - can really feel uninspired, as if they're just going through the motions to make a mediocre game, then slapping Mario and friends in it to make it a great game.

Sure, they don't NEED to speak, but it was just an example. There are a lot of little things that could round out many games to really bring your enjoyment level up. Using that example, I would feel that voicing the characters beyond a few grunts and 2-word lines could really add a LOT to the games. Another example would be developing consistent storylines for the worlds and characters. Metroid's really the only one that has that, and I think that developing more story for their games would keep more gamers interested in completing the game and giving them a sense of accomplishment.

Well, I only said that because of the response to my comments. I did say some positive things about the game, and I've said positive things about other Nintendo games. But just because it wasn't ALL positive, I catch shit for it.

I have. It just doesn't grip me. It's a fun game to play, and I'm not denying that. But I'm just saying that there's not enough to keep you playing it for too long because of how simplistic the gameplay can be. The unlockables do help, though. I'm not saying the game should be as complex as Virtua Fighter 4 or something, but I just think the characters and mechanics could be refined a lot more to better differentiate them in battle.
