Nintendo, games, ideas...

Did I ever mention how awesome, and yet quirky, Nintendo is?
Nintendo is the only company I have ever known to offer rewards, real rewards with free shipping, if their customers register their games and systems and answer simple surveys.
Nintendo also always has groundbreaking technology, like the wii and 3ds. (and the ds, 2 screens? One a touch screen? Awesome!! And still with buttons? Wicked awesome!!)

The Nintendo 3ds is really awesome, or more accurately the 3d games for it make it awesome! I've never played the legend of Zelda ocarina of time before, but this first time in 3d on the 3ds is amazing!! Especially with the headphones I got for Christmas! Truly immersive and fun!! :D ^u^
However, the other 3ds game I was excited to play, super Mario 3d land, while fun, is far too easy for an experienced Mario player.
With the Galaxy Mario games for the wii and now the 3d land for the 3ds, it appears that Nintendy is targeting kids and newcomers to the Mario games.
I mean, just because it's aged 7 and up, doesn't mean it needs to be easy enough for a 7 year old who had never played Mario games before!!

I love Nintendy's idea of a virtual console store, on the wii and on the 3ds, but I am sorely disappointed and pissed off that they did not include it in the dsi and dsi XL!!!
I mean, the release the dsi, shortly after the dsi XL, then shortly after announce and then release the 3ds!!
The completely killed the dsi's!!
@-@
And they didn't even add virtual console games to it!
It just has dsiware. T.T
Which is better than nothing, but really? It CAN play console games, it can run emulators on a flash cart for Pete's sake!!
I guess I'll just have to do that, run emulators on it that don't work well, because they weren't made by Nintendo obviously, and also buy some on my 3ds.

Nintendo is both embracing digital software and holding on to cartridges, eshop + in store 3ds games, and making it extremely difficult to have the same software across your various systems. (very unlike apple and their system with iPods and whatnot)
They sell you the license to the game, not the game itself, and if you want it on your 3ds you have to transfer it to your 3ds, and this deletes it from your dsi!!
How ridiculous!! >.>
That is a major drawback.
Oh and I have a good amount of digital games on my 3ds, and lately when I boot it up it gets so that I can click anywhere on the screen and it only clicks the brightness settings icon, and when that opens clicking on things doesn't work the way it should. Eventually it will stop acting up, or I will have to reboot.
This is a major problem.
I shouldnt have trouble a large percentage of the time I spend playing my 3ds!!

Nintendo's lack of enthusiasm for homebrew is rather tragic, as it is such a lively and lovely arena of the video game sectors.
And it would make Nintendo's consoles so much more popular!!
Anyway, I got a bit carried away there. What would really make Nintendo's consoles popular would be the ability to share and play and make rom hacks for classic games.
Think about it.
The users have to buy the game from the eshop to play the hack, then they have to buy the hack (if it's paid, and Nintendo would get a percent(I hope)), and those who wanted to make romhacks would buy the tools from Nintendo.
Sales would be good, and the most original content for the games would be created.
These classic games would actual pose a reason for those who have already beaten them to play them. Many classics are just too boring to play now, but with some mods and hacks they could be given life again, reborn, evolved, beautiful.

I think Nintendo should also think about combining certain aspects of certain games together.
Like, in acww the ability to go into a forest area in your game and hunt for Pokemon, or a hidden underground area you could mine for "bells" or things to sell for bells with a hidden secret base which you could use as a tiny house to store secret stuff or whatever.

The animal crossing for the n64 was really cool, it had other games in it!! XD

Well... I'm really tired now, it's 1, but since my nose is no longer bleeding, I am going to bed!!

Good night!!/morning!!
I love you!!! :D
