The trendiest thing in gaming today is to be backing Nintendo's Wii philosophy (even though only half of the supporters actually get it) but despite being the darling of the moment, I feel it's my duty as a cynic to bring up all the bad things Ninty has done over the years. I think of it as preventing innocent lips from touching undeserving corporate ass.
People forget that Nintendo used to be the leviathan of the industry, dictating the direction of gaming and slinging around lawsuits like only a Japanese company can. Hell, most people were glad when they took a hard fall but, If this current love fest as made anything clear, it's that everyone loves the underdog, and no one doesn't love to find fault with the guy in first place (the overdog, if you will). So, having already torn into the overdog, it's time to have a look at why the little guy in this situation isn't all that deserving of sympathy. So, here's the evidence that Nintendo hates us:
K-Pop Academy is an upcoming pop star management simulator from the game studio that brought you Tsuki’s Odyssey and Campfire Cat Café.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
