My friend you don't seem to understand the extent how huge this "Nintendo Cookie-Cutting Standard" disease in gaming media has severly affected the fortunes of many a game developers who wanted to make games 2D and 3D platformers like Mario, Zelda and Metroid since forever. They get crucified by Nintendo fanboys in the media and their followers even before their games played.

See your comment proves the rampant Nintendo Brain Cancer on many American children's head nowadays.
I don't know how this disease came to be but this is particularly rampant in the USA and it starts when a young kid plays Nintendo games then carried to adulthood.
Same thing with the term Metroid-vania. That term needs to die. Its like iif a game is a 2D side scroller it has to live up to what Metroid is. Why can't any game be its own and not get compared.?
I understand that to destroy Nintendo's monopoly of the toy stores and developers back then was an enormous undertaking for everyone publishers, third party developers and toy store owners. It was a different kind of evil.
But that is different kind of evil from the Nintendo worship entrenched in the media that keeps the industry from growing and progressing.
Nintendo is not the standard that many mentally retarded dumbasses claim them to be.
...
See this is the problem that needs to be solved in the industry. To all journos out there I have a question: " Why Does It Have To Be A Damned Competition All The Time?"
Why does it have to be a war between companies?
Do game developers really go out there and make a game for the sake of competition?
Is Nintendo really standard?
Why does everything have to be compared or competing with them?
20 Video Game Mascots From The 90s That Tried (And Failed) To Dethrone Sonic the Hedgehog -
The mmascot that launched a thousand mascots.
There fixed that title.
You see most of them mascots are furries like Sonic and not human like mario. You see Sega is smart enuff to not compete with Mario instead it made its own market. Same thing with Sony 's 19 and up initiative. They did not compete with Nintendo's red ocean kiddie child market and instead made...
Super glad Monhan is on more powerful machines so it can grow and do lots of great stuff like this.
Now that Monhan is back to PlayStation again God Eater and the like games will have the chance to flourish as many fans of this kind of games are on PS4.
Now the Monhanless PS Vita fiasco pulled by Nintendo can be put to rest.
It still depend on the games.
The only mouse that is very important to gaming is called
"Needle Mouse" and he has done his job in putting a stop to Nintendo's monopoly.
Sonic is a symbol that Nintendo's monopoly can be deatroyed then came PlayStation.. You want me to change it to the PlayStation logo? I am kinda considering it. But that honor goes to Sonic first he has done his purpose in gaming. He can goof with the kids and retire peacefully. XP
Wrong the last Nintendo games I played are Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time.
After that its all downhill for Nintendo.
And I am glad I did ot Icould gave ended like a Peter Pan like you Nintoddlers.
I hope they do a Nintendo stopper game soon.
Super Mario O is a clusterfk of many gameplay ideas made by other pioneer developers like Travelers Tales for Lego games and an obscure PS3 game called Sideways.
Yet Nintoddlers glorify them as innovative and original. Industry cancer at its worst.
And Nintendo has nothing to do with this problem. Its the American fanboys.
Sheah right!
Like they really care about children.
Netter batterylife pls
If you think violent games are the definition of adult or "mature" video games then you are no different than them peter pan man-children.
So there is 50% chance the Ninty diehards here on N4G are women? Interesting... man children and girls
NES SNES N64 GC are their true gaming masterpieces.
SMB 2 & 3 TLOZ ALTTP & OOT & Super Metroid is still better than any NInty games done after. Then it was all kiddie gimmicks there after. They cowered in fear of Sony and MS.
LoL! Thats a good one.
Spreading joy and cheer eh?
