GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Helmo]

Nintendo just does what they want, regardless of it's a good idea or not...

Honestly that's what I like about them. Even if it isn't always producing the games /I/ want, I much prefer this mentality over that of companies like Microsoft, who always caters to one specific audience because they know it's the best way to make money consistently. If they weren't willing to go off the rails, we wouldn't have games like Mario Sunshine or Galaxy, which while are games that are received well critically, always do PHENOMENALLY less in sales than traditional sidescrolling Mario games. Heck, the Metroid Prime series probably wouldn't even exist.

I wouldn't call Galaxy/Sunshine "Off the rails" at all.  It just blows my mind that they can make such a huge fuck up like Sticker Star or Other M and intentionally fuck up again.

If they had any sense they wouldn't have messed up Paper Mario twice in a row and hen give us Paper Jam.
