The problem being that there's a lot more to the FPS genre other than Call of Duty and its many clones. :)

Of course, the same could be said for Nintendo games! People tend to forget there's more than Mario and Zelda. They have a lot of IPs, I tend to lean more towards Metroid myself. (Poor Other M, why weren't you better? Sob.)

People tend to forget there's more than Mario and Zelda.

This exactly is what bugs me so much about this secret. Only owning a Nintendo console doesn't mean you're only playing Mario and Zelda. You might also be playing F-Zero, Fire Emblem, Eternal Darkness, No More Heroes, Muramasa, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom...

Exactly, I was like BUT BUT FIRE EMBLEM!

I really need to play it again. :(

I, uh. Still do not own a Mario or a Zelda anything for my Wii or my DS, now that I think about it.

Galaxy's on my wish list but I just keep getting distracted picking up other things first! As much as I love Nintendo and enjoy just about all of their big series (except maybe Pokeymans), my favorite first party franchises of theirs are Fire Emblem and F-Zero. ~~Suck it, Link!~~

I have the Mario 25 anniversary thing and New Mario DS! And uh, Twilight Princess. I have not played them, but I've played my Fire Emblems and Metroids. For the most part. Really, I *like* Nintendo, I've just been a bad fan as of late!

Is there any reason why the 25th Anniversary thing would be worth owning to someone who already has Super Mario All-Stars? Because as much as I love those games, I can't really justify it to myself if that's all there is to it. :|a

Well, if you're like me and too lazy to dig out your SNES + Allstars out of storage and your Wii is already in your current home. :) It was 30 bucks at the time, so I felt it was cheap enough. I'm not sure if it's rare yet though.

I only own a Wii because there's not enough on the other consoles to warrant me spending that much on them.
I'm pretty okay with my PS2 still.

Yeah, I (finally) picked up a PS3 recently, but for a good long while, I wasn't willing to drop the money on more than one current gen console, and Wii won because it just flat out had more things that I really wanted to play! (Well, that and I was waiting to see what Atlus did, but.) There's a lot of good stuff for any console if you're willing to look past the shovelware, so why look down on anyone because they bought what they, personally, found the most appealing? \o_o/

No More Heroes, Muramasa, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

I agree with you, but it's just that I got that OP was referring to games developed (or published) by Nintendo, rather than just existing on one of their consoles.

Or maybe they did mean just the consoles, and now it's just general console war dumbassery they were getting at.

OP was inspecific enough that it can read either way, IMO. I just refer to the third party games too because I've seen very few people who completely refuse to touch anything that isn't a first party title, even among console loyalists.

(in b4 five replies telling me that they see these people all the time. I just...never seem to run into them, myself.)

inb4: Oh they exist...

(I wish I had run around in wherever it is you run around and never actually met those people to know they exist. That's what I get for visiting the 4chans, the video game blogs, and the terrible gamefaqs forums. I want my innocence back /sob)
^multiply that by five, I just spoke for everyone I know everything

Heh, true... there are a lot of people that seem stuck in the idea that video games = shooting people a lot, though. Okay, and if you're not a fan of blowing people up?

And true! There's also Pokemon ;) (I mostly stick to series, anyway, not consoles. Zelda and Pokemon just happen to both be on Nintendo. The Soul series is all over the place console-wise, heh.)

Yeah it's never been about what platform it's on for me, it's always been about the games.

As far as Nintendo franchises go, Super Metroid is my go-to game. It's perfect.

Heh - my only exposure to Metroid is via Smash Bros, alas!

FIX THIS.

I don't have a console at the moment! Just a DSi and a GBA!

Emulation is your friend :) It's certainly mine! I've only ever actually owned 3 Metroid games in my life.

I would if my computer didn't seem to have a grudge against them :( It didn't even like Ocarina, sob.

uh well N64 emulation is still very buggy+requires reasonably decent hardware

SNES emulation is not and does not.

Perfect!

Get Metroid: Zero Mission for the GBA. :D

XD If I can find it anywhere, sure.

Actually, both Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission are for the GBA -- and you can get them used for cheap! (Just don't try buying them "new," as unopened copies now cost a small fortune.)

Heh - unfortunately, that's not quite as easy in Australia. We don't have GameStops, EBGames rarely carries GBA games, 'vintage' game stores are few and far between, and after a few bad experiences, I'd rather not try eBay.

Aw, and you don't have your own version of Amazon.com, either. That's a shame! (Coincidentally, the lowest I've seen the games go for on the U.S. version of Amazon is 12.25 USD -- but I don't know if they're covered under Amazon's "media" shipping rates, so importing them could be expensive.)
