Sony's Indie Maestro Has Respect And "Deep Love" For Nintendo

More love and respect all around is needed in the world and even in the console war community

@iMii YES the world needs more love, peace, firendly jokes and games everywhere!

@Falco
Can't forget that the only reason PS exists in the first place is because Nintendo shafted Sony in the 90s and let Phillips make those horrible Zelda games instead.

@CaviarMeths

Sony put a clause in the contract that would've effectively allowed them to retain the licensing to most SNES-CD games and cut Nintendo off most of the revenue. Nintendo countered by entering negotiations with what they percieved to be a more favorable deal with Philips. Of course that deal also fell through, wether or not it was because of the failures of Sega CD/TurboGrafx CD remains unclear.

Why the holy heck do console wars still exist? Its sad and pathetic to hate something that feeds your hobby

@Marshi

Undermining the competition is the easiest way to feel superiority.

@cookiex Anyone who feels superior for belittle or insulting others are the dumbest idiots you can think of. They never learn though,arguably its worse now than it was when I was a kid

@Marshi I hope this screencap answers your question

Good show! To see something like this speaks volumes. Nintendo is well respected and will continue to be. It's the fanboys/girls that jack up the community!

A gamer picks a system/systems and remains curious and/or open to play on others.

A silly person picks one system, then spends equal amounts of time bashing all others on the 'interwebz' than they do actually enjoying their system.

I chose Nintendo, own PS2 & 3 for the games, but dislike the PS controller. I will however probably never own a 4 or xbone, because I won't pay for online. Still curious though.

Spelunky is far better than any of the ported or multiplatform indie games on Wii U.

Hotline Miami is great as well.

(Maybe Sony have some form of XNA with Mono or whatever).

The end result always seems better for me with XNA than Unity.

Microsoft spearheaded the indie revolution by making XNA.

Sony should make their own API's.

(So should Nintendo - stop worthless ports).

Unity is mainly used for making phone games that look nice and play awful.

"The wonderful guy who bring indies on ps3"

LOL 7 years late !

@Maxobiwan They only just got to the point where they could port stuff originally made using all Microsoft's Toolkits without paying anybody (Fairly sure they use Monogame). Could have happened whenever they wanted if they just did the work properly and themselves.

(Sony were quite happy to screw over people who bought the PS3 to mess around programming the cell processor as well. But are quite happy to leech from the same people.)

Microsoft doesn't do that (At least in such a blatant joke of a manner).

@Senario
I agree

@Senario Such a sad truth, it is...

Sony as a whole company is still really nasty though. I think they do it to get their fans all fanboyed up. Saving up for a gaming PC.

He seems good. I heard about VVVVVV & Minecraft coming to the Vita. He seems to be quite smart.

This is where Nintendo fanboys show there true colours, but what would thay know? i could actually post quite a good few Youtube video's of Sony talking respectful of Nintendo, but i'm not going to boost the egoistic fanboy.

Wow it's not like Nintendo hasn't said some pretty arrogant things to its competition as well. All the companies do, it's called competition for a reason.

I wonder if you guys understand and know that most of the jabs they make at each are in good fun. Reggie and Jack make snide remarks about each others systems while praising it, while Kaz and Iwata do the same.

Microsoft, tends to shoot shots at itself and its customers lately.

Hell Kaz is a Legend of Zelda fan and owns a Wii U.

@banacheck Here is the thing - Nintendo and Microsoft have both provided great things. All Sony has ever done is copy.

That's interesting as I had an altercation with him on twitter over him re-tweeting an indie dev who was belitting the Nintendo indie gamers and brown-nosing Sony indie gamers to the extreme. (This same dev then started to talk about how his game was metroidvania influenced.) This was over a year ago mind. Still have a tremendous respect for him in the industry (even though we have blocked eachother ha ha )

@cookiex "Sony put a clause in the contract that would've effectively allowed them to retain the licensing to most SNES-CD games and cut Nintendo off most of the revenue. "

WHAT? SO WHAT? it's not like Sony have put a gun next to Nintendo's CEO head asked them to agree to that contract/deal. Both companies agreed on that, and THEN Nintendo realized their mistake and stabbed Sony in the back. You make Sony a bad guy here wanting to exploit Nintendo (there is nothing wrong with wanting maximum profit), while at the very leased it's Nintendo who was incompetent because they agree to things without realizing long term repercussions.

It's like saying a bank wanted to screw me over but hey I'm the one who signed the agreement without thinking it through.

@PS4WiiU I can say "SO WHAT" just as easy to Nintendo stabbing Sony in the back. It was generations ago, get over it.

Would anyone be interested in providing a comparison of the remarks exchanged between companies with regards to frequency and degree of disrespect and/or respect? I'm just curious. Thanks in advance!
