Welcome to Gaia! ::

It really angers me how people want Multimedia functions over playing games on it.

I don't want Nintendo to be behind again.
I'm tired of people ragging on Nintendo because of bullshit reasons.

But sadly you cannot say that multi functional things are part of a mainstream audience.

Nintendo want to break into every different type of gamer. This also means the mainstream gamer weather us Nintendo "fanboys" (just a term to put us ahead of them...) like it or not.

As stupid as it mgiht sound, some people are now put off the Rev' cause of the HD "decision". It may sound stupid but it's the same as the cardridge decision with the N64 and the online descision with the Cube. Both where turning points in people's decision and clearly was a blow for Nintendo when comparing with it's competitors.

I don't care if Nintendo do or do not add HD into teh Rev' but I'm more worried about what people might think when they look at the clear crisp graphics of the Ps3 and 360 then the slightly fuzzy image on the Rev' games. I'm no graphics fan. but it's clear to me that gaming culture is, and Nintendo needs to not only aim at their own gamers and the non gamers that pic up a game like Nintendogs and love it, but those guys we all fight against in this forum.

I for one think Nintendo need to look into this, we also need the final word off Iwata and not some lady in NoA. And isn't it funny, that cause Nintendo "officially" stated this, everyone has been up in arms over it and havn't looked at what the Rev' can offer so far and not thinking about the future. Would we really need game to play on HD Tv's when gaming can be so damn fun with the Rev'?

Hm. I wish the world weren't mainly composed of graphics people. Oh well. I emailed Nintendo anyway.

I'd buy one with/without support of HD, but I do own a HDTV, so it would help. 3nodding
I did all I could.

Of course, we know that partially because of this decision, the Revolution will probably similar to the cube for this generation. What I hope for is that the real gamers decide it was a mistake to get the PS3 and/or Xbox 360 instead and move to Nintendo for the generation after. Anyone who isn't a real gamer can stick to their own crap and bash Nintendo all they want, I don't care.

This world will never be filled with a larger amount of intelligent people than unintelligent, so Sony and Microsoft will still be able to make there sales off the larger number of idiots in the world (one way you can tell there are stupid people is by watching hurricane footage on TV. Who would be dumb enough to try and stand there with a video camera in a storm like that? I've been in a hurricane since I'm a Floridian, so I know that someone's gotta be real dumb to do that kind of thing).

I agree with you Bururian!

What in the hell is the big deal with HDTV anyway? It's the gameplay that counts.

No offence, but I don't even have HDTV.

Frankly, even if I did, I really woudn't give a damn if systems supported it or not.
Why is it really neccassary? It isn't.
People just want it because it's there, and they think "Hey, it's new, it must be cool. I mean, I can see extra pixels with it!!!"

It really isn't that big a deal.
