This is in response to Meka's topic. I felt it was unfair that Sony got one, and Nintendo didn't. So I made one for them. Aren't I nice?

Please tell me why you hate Nintendo. {:)

I have NEVER seen this anti-Nintendo argument used before as a con against Nintendo during a console war thread.

I don't care if anyone wants to agree or disagree with the above statement. To me, this is an example of why we should welcome newbies with open arms. It's a fresh viewpoint, a new slant on things, and shows that there's lots of things that the rest of us 'could' have thought of, but haven't yet done so.

Well done CJC for bringing that to our attention.

/me adds this to my veritable but clearly incomplete arsenal of anti-Nintendo data.

I dont hate Nintendo, but I dont like it either. I cant stand using cartiges in games even though they load up faster, they make me feel like todays technology is going nowere.

Ever since I bought my first Nintendo console (Super Nintendo) ages ago I was chuffed with the game graphics and quality, but know when I compare the likes of 'N64' with 'Playstation' I am ashamed I ever bought a 'SNES'. Nintendo need to use more technology, cartriges are chunky bricky that dont look wright in your bedroom, CD's make you feel modern and high tech.

If Nintendo made the 'N64' with CD's instead of Cartriges they would be the best yet. If games like 'Goldeneye' were put on CD the graphics would be better and this is what people would think which is a good reason to go out and bye the games.

Nintendo has brought out some amazing games:
- Goldeneye
- Zelda
- Mario 64
- Banjokazooie
- Perfect Dark
and lots more. I respect Nintendo mainly for how quick it is to load and save games on the 'N64'. Todays world is built around speed. People like myself hate waiting for CD's to load up on the 'Playstation' but with the N64, it's another matter. Ina materr of seconds you can play the game and play for your hearts content without it crashing out.

So, it's true 'Nintendo' does have it's bad points but also it's good points.

I hate Nintendo because they ALWAYS succeed in making your mouth water when you hear and first see their new console.

I hate Nintendo, because they consider the UK as: 'insignificant' when it come down to release dates. (well, actually, EVERY damn Japanese company undermises us English for not having a worthy amount of interest in gaming - the gits.)
