Dear Nintendo...
14 years ago
General
Hi, how are you doing?
So, Nintendo, I've noticed a disturbing trend from you as of late. You appear to be afraid of the internet.
Now I know that's nothing new, but as more and more companies start to push online, you've done nothing like a scared child.
Remember when I grew up with you Nintendo? I'd call over my friends and we'd all have a grand 'ol time playing some local games. Back then there was no choice, sure, but all my friends lived so close, most within walking distance, it wasn't a big deal.
However, Nintendo, you can't stop the clock. We all moved forward with our lives, some moved before school was even finished. By the time college swung around, almost no one was local anymore. Now, the closest person I knew growing up is over a hour drive away.
However, other companies such as Microsoft and Sony have helped us still get together from time to time and play games together, despite these large distances. They, unlike you, embraced the new ability to play games from across the globe.
I know what you're thinking Nintendo... "But they don't have handhelds that let you play across the globe!"
Well Nintendo, that's only partially true, as through my PS3 I have often played games with those people on my PSP.
If you released something similar on the Wii, I'd gladly go drop the money for one.
The thing is Nintendo, times are changing. More and more people keep in touch through the web, and just don't have the time or resources to get together physically, and you continually pushing such an outdated way of gaming is, well, outdated.
I know you're scared Nintendo, but for the love of God, stop hiding behind local play, come out and experience the internet. I promise it doesn't bite, and it's pretty much been proven to increase sales. You like money, don't you Nintendo?
Please, please take a page from your competitors books and let me play my games across the web. Maybe I'd actually dust off that paperweight that is a 3DS if you did so.
But for now, you choose not to, so I shall NOT be purchasing Pokemon Rumble Blast 3DS, as much as I enjoyed the previous wii iteration, because I have no one to play with within 50 or so miles.
Good day, and fuck you Nintendo.

For the 3DS there's also the upcoming update next month that will let friends message each other with written, drawn and vocal messages, as well as Mario Kart7 letting people have their own communities on the game itself.
Nintendo is certainly behind on their online experience. But they're making their first steps into it, carefully but steadily. Afterall, if they need to build a decent online system, it's better if they are careful about how they do it and actually do it step by step, rather than just jumping in and risking to have a half-assed system.
That said, their games are still great, even if today most gamers are all about super graphics, cinematic scenes and dark, gritty atmospheres.
....god, this is how my cousin must feel with sonic. >.>
Anyway, thanks for the info sparky.
Also, I dont really care about any of those things mentioned at the bottom, hence why I like a lot of Nintendo's stuff, (Nin was my short name from Nintendownz, which was my old online name) I just really, really grow tired of them having their heads up their asses. ~.~
Mmm, BTW, you have a 3DS, don't ya? Mind if I get your code? Mine's 4167 - 4487 - 3085
we'll be able to send messages to each other in less than a month anyway, that's a fact for sure, not sure if you followed the mini livestream they had last week X3
but yeah, I look forward to it then, and I'll add ya when I get home.
