I don't remember who it was, but someone from Nintendo had a FIT about donkey kong for the SNES, didn't they? Anyway, it was a great game. Personally, my favorite part about the pre-64 ones is the music (some of the best in the business)
Miyamoto I think. "Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good." I agree with him, I hated Donkey Kong Country. There were so many other platformers that deserved more attention at the time. Earthworm Jim for example, and Metroid (as famous as the series is, it didn't hit mainstream success like DK). :\
Every one knows that every company has a flaw, but use that to combat them and all of each companies flaws while they crumble the successful and intelligent that combat the rest rise, they also have a better and more fair marketing plan the top of the line company in Gaming and Software and to over take all companies and make a brighter future and a better one, and a more wider marketing area to please everyone, I give You ' MR.SMES! ' Yes, I shall make and build up a company that is ground breaking, and it ladies and gentle men is well on it's way, I am prepared I also can foresee the future, and vision what happens and will and has been told to be going on, and will go on, I vision it, it happens, I foresaw the marketing downfall, and that things in this world are ready for some one to fix them and help, I am here to set things right, there is a balance that used to be in marketing that is now disturbed, and it needs to be reset, I am here for this such purpose. I am, I am, MR.SMES! I come to set things back on track, and I can not say I favor any console in particular other than Nintendo, which keeps a balance and for it's area, but it is not set and still as thin air, the saying goes when the tide hits heavy the pendulum of the continuum of bankruptcy continues spiraling out towards others, that time has come. These companies all have a price to pay and also financially, but that is not the only price, they have ripped you off, they never wanted for what you the customer truly wanted they were and still are only in producing products for money, they do not care about you, or your opinion you are not in high power and to have a say to them, but with that they crawl and crumble and crash and slowly corrupt, they are in too much of a unset stable state to provide this or continue now, but MR.SMES! stands strong and provides you with a chance to have your say and submit ideas, and let them all slowly become real. Because we, care for our Audience, expected around 2010, March the 21st, the company to change it all and make the world a better more peaceful and wonderful place is arising and coming soon. The rest all lied to you, and hidden the bigger picture, behind the cover up of their products, while MR.SMES! will come clean and honest to you, and not lie, and will help you to realize it really is what we say it, is and we promise you, a better choice, a better world, better marketing system, the markets that don't agree and think it's plausible can say it, all they like while we take over, and fix it, and prove them wrong. MR.SMES! Yes? No? Do you want in, or employment, or to have the quality services only we will provide when the rest have sunken and can no longer continue and come to a halt, the decision you are making is now. If all slowly and will come to a halt and production and continuation is no longer plausible for those companies what will they do other than clear way for newer and better to come on the shelves and be out here and available for everyone, it starts slowly now, but they are all crumbling, but one that one is still rising and not crumbling, that one is MR.SMES! the only remaining choice is perfection and success and truth and loyalty to customers, and continuing to keep the balance and marketing in line and not, lying we are honest and ready to honestly blow the rest away and blow you away with one non stop production of faster and better and more, and smaller and easier to use, products and software. Are You awaiting this future company, promising to make lives better and more of what the world needs, and the customers want? because it's coming ready or not, Impossible, we know of no such word or thing it can be done, and what the others were hiding from you will be revealed, they were up to something bigger than thought possible, how did they prevent this from getting on the news and word from spreading I'll tell you how Microsoft did it, they shot them dead and payed the government large sums of cash not to let anyone know, or they would go out like a light with guns pointed at them, I can also explain why. But all and more shall wait, yes they payed the government of America not to let any info loose, and all and more will be released as to why and how, and what every company and involved in software, and hardware and Operating Systems, were truly up 2, the time when questions, and all will be answered and is to wait, 1 year until MR.SMES! is set up. Those companies are to be dealt with by my professional skills, I shall show those evil tycoons, with hearts as black as coal just who is running things around here, and it is not one single coal hearted person, but I a kind wonderful caring person who can ultimately over come them in marketing and crush them and do what no one else, ever dared to, do to Microsoft, I shall Stand Up and March In and get my pen and fire ball bearings at high speed enough to make some one faint, I realize Microsoft's operations, and they are bad, and not all they want to appear, while they were making Missiles, and why will be revealed soon in 2010 they are bad people, they do not care if they kill people to get the process done, but I will stop them, and get CIA to come in and see for themselves and to dismantle and bring down that facility, and have it destroyed, once I take out the guards and cameras, and lead them to the executive we all know, as ' BILL GATES ' yes him, no not just him but he was in charge of telling workers to make malware and spyware and viruses, for the Operating Systems so they will crash and people will buy a new computer giving them more profit. But there was some one, second in command that had the idea of making the missiles, and activation codes, for them in which only he knew how come I speak as if he died, well it's a long story, Microsoft sent 4 goons and him along to a friends house a friend of mine, they came with guns, and they came to threaten me, and my friend, and drop a bomb in on me within one hour, and activate it, and yes they even went as far as, saying they would not accept cash payments to pay off the bomb and delay it for so much as one week, I asked for this offer, and stalled them, and Microsoft said this on MSN, after getting on my friend's PC and having a good laugh about it, they said no we can not take that risk, hmmm for a peaceful operating system and software provider, you wouldn't expect this now would you? But that is why there is more to the story let me continue, my friend pulled out a shotgun and killed a goon and got the sniper, and shot them all dead, on the floor the police were informed and it was at that time they were foiled but as long as Microsoft is still releasing products they are still making money, and I must not let this continue. I come to combat this evil organization and bring them to a halt, permanently. I would advice, if you tell anyone of the story not to expect them to believe you as that is what parents are like and people want proof so leave it to the pro here, who can provide it, and get the story released and their company shut down and my company will rise, but this is just the beginning there is more soon to happen in this world that will as always try to combat and provide a greater challenge for me to bring down and get the CIA to deal with them. for now I am getting stronger and working on my muscles, at a gym and working on getting this done, I don't want to see innocent people who tag along to help me on the sidelines get hurt and injured so when I walk in it's my mission.
Nintendo. Pure and simple. Honorable mention: EA. Yes, a lot of their stuff is pure garbage (*cough*NFS*cough*) but they've really been trying to experiment lately (Mirror's Edge, Henry Hatsworth and Skate come to mind) and you can't ignore classic series like The Sims, Burnout and Command & Conquer. EDIT: Oh and Criterion of course, the FREE DLC for Burnout Paradise has been nothing short of extraordinary.
I am sorry it's a long post, but long story short, let's just say I'll be running the best gaming company sooner or l8r and way better than all the rest.
Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3 and 4, Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2, Zone of Ender 1 and 2, Silent Hill Origin, 1, 2, 3, 4 and Homecoming, All Konami's major title is great....and they havnt lost thier touch (like what Capcom did to RE4 and 5), Silent Hill Homecoming have the biggest change (more focus on close combat), but it still retain the Silent Hill Feel the only good thing from Nintendo is Pokemon......
Come on now, never played a Mario Brothers game before? What about Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, and the other big names of the earlier Nintendo days?
technically i hate Mario and Zelda, i never have enough time to experiment with other Nintendo title.....
my favourite company is Capcom and Valve. Honorable mention: Atlus, they published all my favorite Bullet-Hell games ever!
Maybe I'm just jaded to the franchise, the NES Mario Bros. game was the first game, and only game I had for a long time.
