This is the first time I am starting a thread and I hope I don't disappoint anyone of you.
How many times have you felt that Nintendo is selling games only to earn money not caring about the entartainment of children? I mean the are making games for the new things in the market only.What are you doing with your GBA colour these days? I am sure many of you don't even have it anymore. This is the same thing that is going to happen with your DS one day. You all are now playing D/P and not even bothering about your GBA. Come to think of it,you had spent so much for your GBA and now you have thrown it in a dark corner of your room.I hope I haven't hurt anyone's feelings.But if you think that I am correct then we should all try to stop Nintendo from making any more gaming consoles.

Your article is very thought provoking. It isn't my intention to embarass you. I will give you my opinion, as well as a few facts about this subject.

It's only natural for games and consoles to become outdated. The fact that the DS comes with a GBA slot is a major help. I still use my GBA and SP for trading pokemon between games. I still have my link cable because Ruby and Sapphire don't support wireless adapters from FR/LG. :@
I even have my Pikachu GBA I received with my Yellow version from my 10th birthday on display in my room.

Wanting to stop Nintendo from selling a product just because it doesn't make the costumer happy is a little outrageous. Every business wants to make money. Money always comes before satisfaction, sad but true.

The DS and Wii will one day become outdated. The original DS isn't even made anymore, and it was released about 3 years ago if I recall. Newer technology will always overshadow older technology. I'm not the kind of person who likes looking at the past, but newer tech is only available by looking at older stuff and seeing what can be improved. In a way, our GBA's live on through the DS.

To conclude, we should enjoy the time we have with our DS' and Wiis. Because one day, they'll fall into the category of once played hardware along with the GBA.

if you think nintendo doesnt care about the fans, try checking out sony. they, not being deeply invested in games (they make just about everything else), can afford it. nintendo is just keeping up with the jonses. you remind me of the first "console upgrade" from the atari 2600 to the 5200.
 
I still have every game system that I've ever owned, except for my Sega Genesis because it broke. I don't just ignore my old games or get rid of them. I still play them. I play every game system that I own.

And of course Nintendo is selling games to earn money. It's a business. That's what they're supposed to do. They're supposed to make money.
 
This is the problem with company's like Nintendo. People get so attached to the products they make that they forget that there is a business and company behind it. The entertainment industry in general seems to have this phenomena.

In essence, -- and no, I'm not trying to embarass you just have a public debate -- you're the one being unreasonable. A GameBoy Colour looks incredibly dated next to a DS Lite. Why don't you want your favourite games company to thrive? Is it just because you want to have dated games (in both graphics and gameplay). Because heaven forbid that Nintendo should continue to offer innovative new things.
 
Actually, you'd be surprised at how many people don't actually buy the new systems. My parents, for example think I have enough now and I don't need a Wii, so I don't plan on getting Wii.
 
The S/NES I have, I still play. The controllers are wearing out from so much. A lot of stuff Nintendo has made is timeless. Super Mario Bros 2, Super Metroid, Link's Awakening. A lot of old games are still great. I even still play my GBC, and all of my GBA's buttons are worn out from so much use.
 
from what your saying, you think games shouldn't advance we should keep out GB's and NES forever while sony and MS advance to make more money, you have to keep up with the times and competition
 
From what you said, I'm interpretting that older technologies, the "old school stuff" like Gameboy/Gameboy Colours are better than GBAs/DSs/Wiis and that the new stuff is bad because it's not... actually, I have no idea what you're saying besides the fact that we shouldn't have new stuff. Innovation is the key, and that's what the new stuff is offering. (I have no idea what I'm talking about.)

If Nintendo stopped making consoles, there wouldn't be a Nintendo anymore. It would have been enveloped, overrun by Sony or Microsoft or whatever, and lost ages and ages ago. No Nintendo would be, like, :0!

Besides, more than the DS, I still play on the GBA...
 
Wow, stop Nintendo from making the one thing they are awesome at making...seriously, that's hilarious.

Sure I'm kinda mad that I got bored with my GC & GBA, but its time to move on sometime. You can't expect to play the same thing constantly for years on end and not get bored with it.

They make new game systems for a changing world, and they have become more sucessful by introducing new ways to play instead of just upgrading the graphical power every 5-6 years.

Saying Nintendo to stop making game consoles is like telling Bush to stop the stupid "War" in Iraq.

****ing gas prices are ridiculous >_>;
