Quick gaming rant

General
Alright, so having read a few magazines lately I've discovered even more evidence of Nintendo's cheap sell-out attitude (most of you who know me know I absolutely despise Nintendo for ruining the gaming industry)
First off, Super Mario Bros. Wii. ENOUGH WITH THE MARIO BROS GAMES. You've made them a dozen times and they're all the fucking same. Can't you be original? Just ONCE.
Seriously, if you're new to games, and you feel like getting into Mario, I'm not gonna complain, but I will make a recommendation. Just pick four games, any of the Mario Bros., Mario Kart, Mario Party & any 3D Mario platformer. They're all the same, so once you have one of each you're set for life. I really have no direct problem with Mario, the games could be decent if Nintendo weren't complete asstards.
Second, Ju-On: The Grudge. My favourite series of horror films monopolized by those scumsucking fuckwads at Nintendo. The graphics suck, the gameplay sucks, it's just another attempt to squeeze money from the fantards who'll suck up anything Nintendo churns out, because let's face it, these days the dedication to real gaming fandom has died in favour of whatever you can grab that has shiny colours. Even The Sims has fallen prey to this. Seriously, how can you fuck up The Sims? It's things like this that make me sad to be a dedicated Sonic fan, since even SEGA have fallen under Nintendo's cheap influence. You know how it is, spin-offs and repeats of the same game just to whore out the concepts. I only have my Wii for Sonic games, but while the DS also has its share of Nintendo's attempts to make EVERYTHING into a game, it also has its gems.
Third, Band Hero. It's bad enough that they took away from the guitar-only aspect of Guitar Hero games and made Rock Band redundant, but now they're pushing this in their face? Come on.
Fourth, the recent bastardization of Sonic characters. It used to be populated by some rather badass concepts and dark themes whilst still retaining its light-heartedness and cheerful aspects. Yet now they've been reduced to "family games" and badass characters like Shadow have been pussied down so they're more "appropriate" for children. I'm sure all these parents who see their children enjoy Shadow wouldn't be so happy if they took a look at his back-story and his solo game Shadow The Hedgehog. Just look at the trilogy of Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and Shadow The Hedgehog. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a pussy back then until the Nintendo aspect kicked in. Now I can't even take the series seriously anymore. The series I grew up with and enjoyed for what it was.
Seriously, not everything has to be made into a game by these sell-outs. I mean ffs, Style Boutique? ...seriously? Ok, while Nintendogs was pretty similar to all this, it was actually a decent game and played well. Nintendo's sellout shit could have been tolerated a few years ago when they at least put effort into it (Except Mario, never any effort there), but now they just don't give a shit and it's got to stop.
You can hit me with your OMG OPINION attitude, but while you're just making yourself look stupid, I challenge you to point out a single thing I've said here that's wrong.

P.S - I'm going to be standing outside Nintendo's HQ with a torch and pitchfork if they even TRY to pull an Activision and put Samus in a sports game.

i grew up with Nintendo charas and playing Nintendo consoles, and grew up with Sonic. i don't ever seem to really go outside that and purchase new titles that i've never tried (*has a few non Mario, Sonic , and Zelda titles* ). me and my sis only got a 360 just to play Sonic 06 at the time, and hopefully more Sonic games on that console.
i have no comment on the other games you mentioned cuz i know nothing about them lol, but i atleast know of the Sims xD; and i've never--and probably never will--play Nintendogs.
i totally agree with the thing about the Sonic charas, cuz i still don't like the new charas voices -_-; and i liked Shadow better when he was tougher, and i loved the Shadow the Hedgehog game with all the weapons and stuff. and i wish they'd make another Shadow game like that, cuz i still like to play it *>w<* but like not make the game "kiddish".. make it more grown up (like that would happen? xD; )
well, i'll tell the truth, Mario isn't my fave chara of the series, same for Sonic lol but i still like the games for both, and i have a few i'm interested in buying..
even if it would be considered as copying (?) i would want to see a Sonic fighting game on a console (not including Sonic the Fighters or etc) that included a "bunch" of charas. like, since they got all these charas and such they should use it.
and one more thing (xD) i'm disappointed that this new Winter Olympics only has few more charas (and they kept Vector >_< ) atleast they got Silver this time *,_,*
i need to quit before this becomes an essay *-_________-*
Nintendo...damn it they're good, but they're selling out so bad. So again I agree with you. Next thing you know, they're gonna make a Barbie game-oops...it already happened.
