Username aside, I'm pretty sure mods give tags to people that either deserve it or if they said/did something that should be remembered on GAF.
I will say, I always think this is the problem with some companies.. not saying graphics don't help make a great game.
But to me this is an interactive medium before its a visual medium. And I assume most of the world agrees which is why stuff like Tetris, Mario, Wii Sports, Angry Birds, Whatever with Friends, Draw Something become smash hits.
To change the subject a little:
I think as long as Nintendo has climbed out of the SD hole, it's smooth sailing from here.
Sure, other consoles may produce better graphics in an increment, but SD to HD is really all they need to make ambitious games.
The Remote Plus hitching a ride is also great; gives the Wii a second shot amongst the doubters in a way.

Meh, believe what you want BY2K. You will be on ignore from now on.

It is a visual medium first and foremost. What are you doing from the second you turn on your console? You are watching your Pc Monitor or TV screen, not fiddling with your controller.
What, I make one mention of your name and you put ME on the ignore list and not Ace?
That's a bit much, no?
And btw, It's an INTERACTIVE medium before anything else, not visual. Video Games aren't painting or movies.

If that was true, why are some oldschool games still better than current generation games???

Bird gif. ^_^
I will kill somebody if there is no direct feed of this demo this year.

Oh don't worry, you and Ace are both on ignore as of now man. People who don't have a leg to stand on are the first people to throw out the TAG quote and in your case, judging me by my name? Pathetic really.
Bird gif. ^_^
I want to believe Nintendo did the bird demo to make up for the fact that the hawk in Twilight Princess is useless. Such a waste of a beautiful animal.

Are you telling me that if you were blind, you would enjoy playing an old skool game or a current gen game because visuals are not important to the VIDEO game experience?
Hey look on the bright side about being on a charlatan's ignore list.
You can say whatever you want about him and he'll never know!

The point is slippery, you just can't grasp it.
Um, not that I've keeping up with this thread or anything but... If you were blind you couldn't play shit. Or have I missed the point here?

Please enlighten me, how are video games not a visual medium? If you are blind, you will not be playing games.
Honestly?
Playing with your controller in this day and age.
Xbox 360, Ps3, and Wii all turn on the system with their controller.
Navigate the menus with your controller.
Probably spend more time messing with your control before you see the first graphics in a game.
There's no tutorials teaching you how to view the game.. usually teaching you how to play and interact with the game.

Blind people play instruments, blind people *read* books.
I think he's forgetting about the GAME part, of VIDEO GAME.
It's an interactive medium! I don't give a crap if a game looks like I was looking in a mirror, if it plays like shit, it's still a bad game.
If Nintendo got something right, it's that gameplay > graphiczzzzzzzz.
Especially when everything is a shade of brown or gray!

Yo Congressman, where's the tablet redesign? Curious to see it.
Didn't someone already post one a while back?
Blind people play games all the time. Handicapped doesn't mean "crippled" you judgmental person!
Someone blind DID finished Ocarina of Time, but that's a fucking extreme. Blind people CAN'T play video game. At least not without someone telling them what to do at every second.

Simple:
You said it's a visual medium first and foremost.
The best games of all time don't have technically the best visuals.
So why are they so esteemed???
Maybe it's a gameplay medium first and foremost aided by visuals???

Please show me a blind person enjoying video games, i bet you can't. It is first and foremost a visual impact before anything else.
Looking at games is just one part of the whole, but I think it's pretty much agreed by many a gamer that if the game plays like shit, but looks beautiful, it's still a crappy game. Games are meant to be played not looked at.
TP hawk is an ugly mess compared to demo hawk.
To think, that, if Nintendo made a remake of TP, that's how much better it would look.
Nintendo should have made an Epona demo in Lon Lon Ranch. I want to see Epona's visual upgrade.
The one last night was me, hehe. Congress said he'd come up with his own today though.
I have this strange habit of meowing at crows. I love crows, I hope Wii U has crows...

I'm done with this line of conversation. All of you making excuses for this not being a visual medium are all the same people who will drool over new screenshots of the next big game, you are just blindly defending Nintendo's strategy of being 10 steps behind the competition.

Instruments are based upon sound, and blind people use braille to read. Ain't no braille in gaming. Unless that's the new feature on the tablet!?

Did you see the Zelda demo and the bird demo and think "MY EYES, THEY ARE BLEEDING FROM THEIR OWN VOMIT"???

It would be more accurate to call gaming an interactive medium, as that is quite obviously the big difference between games and anything else. There is no actual requirement that games have any visuals whatsoever (I believe there's an iPhone game - Papa Sangre, or something like that - that is completely audio-driven). Text adventures technically have visuals, but only for utility's sake (it would be possible
and probably pretty cool
That's why new input methods (ways to manipulate interactivity) are seen as innovations more than new shaders or increased poly counts or such. Interactivity is the crux of our industry. The joystick, triggers, motion controllers, touch screens - is anyone really going to argue that these are less important or less impactful than marginal increases in resolution or advanced tessellation?

Why is this guy not banned? Is posting troll gifs for every reply acceptable around here?
That... is... amazing.

The funny thing is that many are atacking and others defending Nintendo while still haven't addressed the matter and won't until E3.

I believe he won a free Wii from Oprah or Ellen as well.
As beautiful as the hawk would be, it would still be worthless. These creatures deserve better!
