Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Hate playing videogames? Now you dont have to!

The above is a link to an article regarding NIntendo's new Kind Code. A code that will finally get rid of all the ridiculous time you need to spend actually PLAYING video games. Now I can finally sit around and just watch as some pre-recorded video goes through the game for me. Just what I've always wanted.

Below are the responses of some developers.

Just when I thought Nintendo couldn't make video games any less challenging and fun. I've been wronged yet again, luckily I cut Nintendo off at the Gamecube. Once I seen where Nintendo was going with the Wii I traded it for a new Steel Battalion /w controller and a Xbox 1 with 10 good games. It gets a lot more use than my Wii ever did.

I can already think of just one way this is good for somebody- parental control.

It would be like a parent watching a PG-13 or R rated movie before they'd let their kid see it. That's the only good thing I see coming out of it, however. Any other reason is just a band-aid for apathy or laziness.

Amen to that. If the trends continue, this might be the last generation I buy new hardware. Prepare yourselves for the "ignorance renaissance" of gaming to come.

:lol:

Well here is the thing...i like the idea for this reason...

You dont HAVE to use it...most of you must think due to it being there you HAVE to use it. You can go out and buy cheat books...do you? Maybe i misunderstood or misread something, but didnt it say you had the option...the choice, to use it...or click hints?

"Game allows gamers to play the game in the normal way, though they can bring up video hints whenever they get stuck. These hints will appear in a screen that pops up in the top right corner of the screen."


I remember watching kids break consoles when they couldnt beat a game...maybe this will save a few consoles lmao.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

I think you guys are all overreacting to a badly written article which knee-jerks to a vaguely worded patent.

Game journalists make a living by blowing things out of proportion. My advice is the same as always: wait for a real game to be released before jumping to conclusions.

My dislike is more pointed toward the fact that they are spending time on a project that is geared toward making the lives of casual gamers easier. I would prefer to see a development teams efforts set on something else.

As i having been saying for months Nintendo is telling hardcore gamers too bad. Nintendo has become almost an anti true video game company and just more of company that just shits out terrible games for the ignorant obedient masses to devour so Nintendo can fill more bank accounts with it sales from the Wii hardware/software sales. what is the point of buying a game if you can just observer the action and not interact with it at all. Clicking a button and seeing the computer do it for you is not gaming just a movie with interactive options. They refuse to create new series or types games and when they do just throw Mario into the title and game and they know it will out sell other good games that should be taking in those sales. I refuse to be a part Nintendo's intolerable current business practices which are fuck the loyal Nintendo fans and devour the money of the idiotic masses that will buy terrible games and a system that is over priced and technologically inferior to all it's competitors hardware. I honest think the original Xbox technologically is superior to the Wii and it coast $50 verus 250.

FUCK NINTENDO.
