Lol...not that this has anything to do with anything...but today is my birthday!

BEST THREAD EVER future of NL >:3
[16:43] James: I should learn these site rules more clearly
[16:44] LztheBlehBird: James doesn't know the rules? For shame!!!
These sort of threads are respectable. The opinions of the nintendo life community are some of favorite and most likable. As for It's my Birthday, it's not that it's a bad idea in the dime-a-dozen genre. I don't have a problem with that. I have a bigger problem with the company in general not taking any risks what so ever, (unless u count gta:cw for ds). They are a fairly talented company and it's not right that they only cater to one demographic when there is a wide variety of wii owners. They don't even put effort in their wii sports titles for crying out loud.

Are you talking about Nintendo? Cuz they didn't make this...
Biggest Pro to this title: I'm pretty sure no one has ever done a game around birthdays. Biggest Con to this title: I'm pretty sure there's a reason why no one has done so...

I don't think we're going to get a better summary than that.

Happy birthday, Mojo! Also, I want everyone to know I've had a sudden, sincere change of heart. I look forward to It's My Birthday and will download it immediately upon release without hesitation.
And another thing, they said Nintendo was accounted for because, you know, they're the ones in charge of regulating which games come out on THEIR console...
Yep, many Nintendo fans used to have fair confidence in the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" stamped on every game, although I guess we know these days its practically meaningless.
It isn't worthless today, and it is not what you are describing it to be 'yesterday;. It is a quality control method that fights piracy and cuts down on poorly made games that do not function - i.e. licensed by Nintendo, guaranteed to work. Has nothing to do with what you deem a 'quality' title in any sense of a review score. That is a Nintendo NES innovation the Atari 2600 and others did not have.....game licensing. Nintendo won a lawsuit over the legality of such a practice, having a chip that allowed the cart to be recognised by the system, and suing pirates who replicated Nintendo's chip by reverse engineering. - and thus avoiding the royalty fee.
The 'seal of quality' is no different today than it ever was. That is an internet myth or myth-conception, get your facts straight, please.
And good grief. Many of the attitudes here represent literal communism. Take away personal buying responsibility and dictating to the market what game developers 'should' produce. Thats a joke guys.
You can also pretend games today have lower quality and creativity standards, but that is also a myth. Perhaps 5 -10% of games for a given system will be considered high quality by any given game buyer. In any time period.
Not every studio is capapable of producing a 'high quality' game, due to time, money, skill, or goal.
Any given game will have people who do not enjoy it, regardless of how high quality it is deemed to be by metacritic.....
LOL Eugene, pissing in the wind. That is a good one. Seriously Eugene,there was a time the Nintendo Seal of Quality meant good games. The reason there was a video game crash in the 1980's was because there were so many crappy games for the Atari 2600 [like Pac-Man and E.T.] that people quit buying video games. If Nintendo haven't introduce the NES and the Seal of Quality,video games might not exist today. So,please understand that the Seal of Quality rumor is true,not an internet myth. Oh,and the Seal of Quality means nothing today.
Pac Man was a poor arcade port. It sold extremely well - it did not cause the game crash.
E.T. is a decent game, quality wise.
The game crash was not caused soley by low quality software, and the seal was not designed to prevent low quality software, beyond a marketing ASSUMPTION.
NES succeeded because of the very HIGH quality of a FEW games, not the lack of poor ones. Have you ever heard of Super Mario Brothers??? It was said to be the cart that could launch 70 million consoles....
Go out and buy random, and I DO MEAN RANDOM NES games, and report how many are very poor quality in the fun department. You are wrong.
Hardcore, casual = marketing. The real divide is between arcade and narrative games.
The 'seal of quality' is no different today than it ever was. That is an internet myth or myth-conception, get your facts straight, please.
The first half you are correct about. Nintendo pretty much invented that kind of anti-piracy technology. (They continued it with the GCN disc...thats why it was so small.) The second half you are less than correct. Nintendo did have more quality control in the NES days. We're talking quality games not quality in "it'll work, for better or worse." Why? Because Nintendo put a cap on how many games a publisher could release in a time period, forcing them to have longer development cycles. They no longer do that, except maybe on Wiiware but even that isn't actually enforced anymore.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality is still used, with all Nintendo DS and Wii games bearing it on their packaging. However, it has recently been changed to read "Official Nintendo Seal" rather than "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality".
When the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality was used, the meaning of the seal was explained as follows:
"This official seal is your assurance that Nintendo has approved the quality of this product. Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your [name of Nintendo system]." This meant the cartridge worked in the named hardware; it had nothing to do with the quality of the software.
The current Official Nintendo Seal is explained as follows:
"The official seal is your assurance that this product is licensed or manufactured by Nintendo. Always look for this seal when buying video game systems, accessories, games, and related products." ************************
Apology accepted.

Oh yay! You ignored the important part of my post! Well then, I'll just return the favor. ....... Nah, I'm too nice to do that. It's not written in the description so it must not be true? Well then I guess since it doesn't say electricity is necessary, then that's not true either? There was some measure of quality control in the means I described and now there's not. The end.

Yes they did cap publishers, but that would not neccesarily produce 'higher quality' games.
Game can have long dev times and still be poor and/or unfun.
At that time given game maker can only release typically 5 games in a year - fine, but that does not guarantee the 1,2, 3, 4 or , 5 or they DO release will be 'good'. At most it guarantess they can 'only' release 5 poor games in a given time period.
So no, I am not less correct at all.
And no, I did not ignore your post, I was not repsonding to you with that other post, as yours was not visible when I wrote my message. Another false assumption/jumping to conclusions on your part. I do not understand why some here continue to treat me in such a poor manner.
