gamrSnack: Nintendo's True Mission

by Matt Ashbaugh, posted on 16 January 2011 / 1,179 Views

One of these days Nintendo will understand that most gamers play games to relax.  Relaxing does not include jogging in place, balancing on a bathroom scale, having to use my whole arm to hit an enemy in a game, or walking.

Culo means ass in Italian as well. Mario = Italian. If you hover the mouse over the pic I always hide an easter egg message in my comic.

@MattOfSteel hmm.. didn't know culo is also in italian; never played ACII but i didn't know that has that on there - cool easter egg :-) i do hav to admit though, nintendo's fitness games (and my gf) actually got me to move around a bit more (i mean, it's a start - wii fit for example is actually kinda fun)

Gamer stereotype = Nerdy guy that can't get women, plays with computers & gets fat sitting on the couch only using index fingers and thumbs. Nintendo has the right idea... People want to be healthy by engaging in fun games. More movement the better. If you don't like to be active then you're lazy!

i was hoping for bizarre world domination thing. i think its funny that people will say they play games to relax but the games they play most are the ones that piss them off.

uhhhh, maybe when you mean "most gamers" you aren't including the bajillion gamers who bought the wii, and the other 8 million who bought kinect in a few months. We are no longer part of the majority.

Well, the argument has been proven VERY false. Since the Wii came out Nintendo has more than quadrupled their home console audience. Now Sony and Microsoft are trying to do the same, and Kinect was by far Microsoft's fastest selling gaming product.

This isn't a snack, it's not even a mouthful.
