F the kiddy image some people say nintendo has. I don't give a SH.
F the idea that graphics are the most important thing.
F the whole thing about the N64 being cartidge based.
F the fact that good game have to be M rated or that nintendo may not have many of them. I don't care.
I think I got all of them but my point is I started playing games back when nintendo brought back from the crash, and I've played nintendo/sega games all my life and my second choice for a console would be a PS2.
-Nintendo has a kiddy image, since barely any of its games are aimed at a target audience above 11 years old.
-Graphics aren't THE most important thing, but they're still important.
-The cartridge-based N64 was fine for me.
-The 'good' games that are rated M are the most action-intense ones usually, as there's only so many times you can see an enemy dissapear in a flash of light or a puff of smoke until you want to see some explosions or dismemberment. MGS, for example, was a great game that utilized violence in an excellent way, instead of just being able to say 'blood, lol'. A game like, say, Star Fox could go a long way towards ridding itself of the nintendo-assosciated 'kiddy image' if, say, a gaping wound appeared on an enemy who just got LASERED IN THE FACE. Besides, a large portion of the gaming community is made up of young, inherently violence-inclined males.
