I'll give Sega some credit. They are actually pleasing the fans by releasing a 2D Sonic for the old fans and a 3D game, (most likely the Colors/Generations format), for the newer fans. Nintendo on the other hand has released a Animal Crossing Board game and not a real AC game, Federation force instead of a real Metriod prime or a 2D Metriod game, Color Splash instead of a real Paper Mario, and Star Fox Zero pretty much being a Star Fox 64 copy with forced motion controls.

Three things:

1. Sega is the reason the sonic cycle exists. Most Nintendo franchises don't have this cycle.

2. Nintendo also released quite a few well received sequels.

3. Sega seems to cling onto sonic like he's their only mascot

Uh, Sega did that with how many Sonic games?

Pretty much all of them (or at least all the ones I have played)

It's unreasonable to be unsatisfied with a game at their announcement. Satisfaction should have been that the games were coming, not for a few seconds of footage.

At this point there's more than enough footage to know if you will want the game or not. Even when the games were first showed, there was more than enough footage to see if you are interested or not.

There are plenty of games I'm not interested in, doesn't mean I'm dissatisfied with them. Really the only justifiable feelings of (dis)satisfaction are had from purchasing and playing the game for yourself.

Why would I waste money on Amiibo festival board game if I wanted an actual Animal crossing game for Wii U? (And also the fact that I don't even care about Amiibos to begin with). The same goes for the other games.

If you also wanted a more casual board game than Mario Party. I own amiibo festival and get enjoyment out of it.

Just because a game isn't what you wanted doesn't make that game bad or not worth it. It just makes that game different than what you wanted. “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

I never said it was bad, (although I personally think it is), but @shaneoh pretty much said that you have to buy a game in order to know if you want it or not, regardless if you have an expectation for a series and it the game trailer obviously shows it isn't anything like how the series is.

I consider myself fairly reasonable and I am definitely not satisfied with an amiibo festival game as an Animal Crossing game or Federation Force as a Metroid game. Neither really do any justice to their respective franchises and might as well be original IPs.

Definitely this.

he is saying you can't be dissatisfied by a product you haven't played. You can not be interested in a game but to be satisfied or dissatisfied, you need to play it.

Shaneoh is right to an extent. I had negative opinions on certain games until I actually played them. The same is true for the opposite. I'm looking at you, Sticker Star! >:[

The Animal Crossing game I can understand, but Federation Force? I've seen mostly positive opinions on it when people actually played the demo. Because, what a shocker, people jumped the gun and blasted it for its appearance. This reminds me once again of Wind Waker.

@CreamyDream You can be dissatisfied with a game's announcement, sure. But can you be dissatisfied with a game without playing it? Those are two different things. It is like being dissatisfied by a cookie without eating it or being dissatisfied by a car without driving it.

Do you need to experience something the way it should be to be satisfied or dissatisfied? Which is different from not liking something.

But that isn't dissatisfaction. That is disappointment. They are different.

Im sure there is fun to be had from Federation Force, but I'm also sure that it will not be a grand epic adventure on the same scale and scope as Super Metroid or Metroid Prime with deep singleplayer replayability, gorgeous visuals, and amazing music.

Federation Force advocates arent wrong to like and enjoy it, but it's definitely never going to hold the torch to legitimate Metroid game.

Well, maybe it's not supposed to do that. Nintendo had an idea and wanted to put a familiar name on it to attract people...but had the opposite effect. Think Star Fox Adventures as another good example of adding a familiar name to a new concept, or Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Um, I'd equate that to wanting a Metroid game and getting Super Mario 3D World...

Yep, it works both ways. Sucks when you think you'll enjoy a game and then it turns out you don't.

You order a hamburger. Then while you see the waiter walk toward you with your dish, and you see on that plate that instead of a traditional by-the-book hamburger, you see two meatballs covered in tomato sayce and a piece of pita bread.

Not only are you disappointed but it's easy to tell that it wont satisfy your desire to eat a hamburger.

See, to me it's like looking at the menu and seeing whale burgers. You can disagree with the use of whale meat on a morale ground and choose not to order it, that's fine (I'd agree with you), but being dissatisfied with the portion size and taste, even though you didn't order and eat it, is bizarre.

There are expectations that come with new games

That's the problem, it's unreasonable to expect anything (at this point in my life I expected to be employed, married, have kids, and own a house. With only two out of four, I actually think I'm doing rather well). The only thing we should be reasonably expecting out of a piece of software is that it is devoid of bugs and malware (which sadly, isn't always the case). Do away with expectation, it will not be met exactly as you want it (if at all), which only fuels disappointment and unhappiness.

He's giving them credit for something they should have done a while ago. But the game's not out yet, so they can still completely screw it up

The Sonic games are not only much better platformers than Mario, but also much better games.

Mario's quality is consistent, unlike Sonic's but the Genesis offering is better than any Mario I've played. I grew up on the SNES and the Genesis both and I liked games on both. But I didn't find Mario to be much enjoyable.

You may have to be more specific. You're dealing with a wide range of quality

Even as a Sonic fan, I'd have to agree that specific examples, as well as a multitude of qualifiers are mandatory for this discussion.

@Lzeon I appreciate the level of trolling in this thread.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

LzWinky

Who's trolling? Sonic as a franchise has games that range from good quality (according to fans) to awful and unplayable quality. Mario has rarely if ever had a broken game made by Nintendo.
