why yes, that would be me. And most people who play video games. Sorry to break it to you, but your a minority.
Sales figures say otherwise. You are confusing "people who play video games" with "hardcore gamers." Nintendo simply went in a different direction from the market that you belong to. No reason to be butthurt about it.
I like Nintendo, SNES is probably my favorite console to have ever existed. But it is a little irritating how gimmicky they have gotten. With the Wii's controls and the DS's touch screen (Now with 3D!! if the touch screen wasn't big enough of a gimmick). Though I ran out to by a wii. I only play Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, and Kirby.
Right now I have beef with NRS. They stopped patching MK9, I've had some really broken matches lately. Also a little annoyed at a complete eddition and PS Vita exclussives. Although it's a brilliant marketing strategy, what about the hardcore fans who bought the collectors edition on release.
Motion controls aren't in and of themselves a gimmick. They can work when implemented correctly. There's a lot of games where they aren't, I admit, though. Personally, I actually think the DS touch screen is worse than motion controls by far. I find swinging my Wii remote like a sword much more enjoyable than trying to make Link slash with the f*cking DS stylus.
As far as MK9 goes, I'm not sure what you mean by "what about the hardcore fans who bought the collector's edition." What about them? The Komplete Edition basically is a price drop. It's everything you guys bought plus DLC for the same price, right? It's not like a price drop wouldn't have happened anyway.
