My Wii and Me

Growing up Nintendo I was that guy that would take a bullet when people came to talk bad about the big N. Becoming a developer changed my views a lot when you realize certain decisions just aren't that sound for gamers. During the Gamecube era Nintendo didn't have many friends. This was also the hardest time I ever had defending my company.

I always loved their philosophy of incorporating everyone in play, but I don't share their same beliefs in what a gamer wants and doesn't want. Instead of saying mature we're going to use the word complex. A lot of Nintendo titles lack complex material, even some of their games that are actually supposed to be more complex than normal. The Legend of Zelda series is as deep as it goes when it comes to complexity, with Metroid ranking second. I only put it second because Metroid barely has a storyline to tell of.

None of these titles have the same artistic view as normal games such as Bioshock and Metal Gear Solid. Between the two I can say that they are two of the best games I have ever played in my life but between the everything on Nintendo I can say The Wind Waker was the best Zelda game I have ever played but certainly not the best game.
