Boycott BBC (After they insult/harrass Nintendo)

[Joelcool7]

As a Nintendo Loyalist Im more offended then most gamers, However I think its a mutual offence that should offend any gamer except Sony Fanboys.

I hope EGM and any other Magazine begins to report on this, BBC3 went out of its way for over an hour bashing Nintendo!

I also hope all members of this forum who read and/or watch this program file formal complaints at the link located at the bottom of the screen. If you do not recive a reply I hope you will join me in boycotting the BBC untill they at least reply or give a formal apology!

I will sum the program up in short so you dont have to read my entire article
- They accuse Nintendo of being a mob style organization
-tries to ruin Yamauchi's relationship with his son
- Accuses Nintendo of taking advantage of Miyamoto
-Accuses Nintendo of Intentionally causing people to have seizures
- Tries to make Nintendo look bad through the old LoveHotel service
- Accuses Nintendo of doing anything for money
- Accuses Nintendo of holding back information from the government
-And the accusations just go on and on including insulting the Japanese governments Television standards guidlines

================================================== ===================================

I must say, this program was an embarrassemnet to the BBC. For a long time the BBC has looked and acted as one of the worlds best Television Newscasts. They have graced the air giving viewers the best quality of news. But this is a disgrace.



The program was more about Yamauchi than Nintendo, This is okay I guess. Yamauchi is not the current President and really should be left alone. The journalist went after Yamauchi's family. She went out saying things like "Why did Nintendo not want us to talk to you" and "do you like your father". This is not descent journalism practises. Honestly bashing and tearing apart Yamauchi's life had little relevance to Nintendo.



Then she bashed Japan's government as a whole. She said that the Japanese Television standards were inferior to the British and that Nintendo should go and meet British broadcasting standards rather than their own countries. Accusing Nintendo of purpossley creating games that fail British standards is simply irrational seeing as WindWaker passed those standards.



All those strokes, Sega/Atari/Sony/X-Box all of them have led to seizures. Nintendo is not diabolically causing seizures. I call that a low blow and shouldnt have been used.



The LoveHotel she used to make Nintendo sound like they made a hore house. Asking the taxi driver if he new Nintendo had a lovehotel as to make it soundas though it was a dark little secret. Very missleadingtwisted from the real story.



The DokiDoki challenge thing, about Nintendo using its game engine to make the second mario game for NES. Again they pinpointed Nintendo and tried to bash its long history of great quality. fact is Nintendo isnt the only company to do this. The doom game was re-created multi-pull times and if you look at many modern games they use the exact same modles to make the newer games. Same charectures and items simply moved around to produce a sequal. Their is nothing wrong with the practise of using exsisting modles to produce new games.



allin allmost of what BBC3 said about Nintendo was twisted. Fact is Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft.And if they wanted to make a real good episode they would look into Sony.



Please formely complain reqesting an apology to

not certain, most of joke


yes right maybe a tad unfair on the ninty bashing. BUT you musnt believe it. bbc3 is a shitty channel that they made to jam in all the shite that connects with "youth" that they didnt want clogging up their other channels ;) like lame chat shows and unfunny "sitcoms" term used highly losely

you must have one hell of a raging hard on for nintendo to come out with that post and while i do like nintendo more than microsoft they probably do have some stories in the past that they do not want to be made public (then again what company hasnt ) but seeing as its you, you probably wouldnt believe them if they came out with a press statement saying that they shot the guy that made mario 64 after they were finished

Im pretty sure most huge companies have some sort of shady history behind them. Hell a lot of big companies today still do these things but in less obvious ways, otherwise they'd get caught. I mean whatever happened to Intel after those several lawsuits by AMD accusing them of strong-arm tactics? Microsoft have already been through all that scrutiny too.

Sad fact is you cant make it big these days without a leetle bit of greed driving you, because otherwise you wont be as competitive. Yes competition and money is meant to drive people to do better but it also makes them greedy bastages willing to bring out the worst in human nature to one-up the other guy. And nintendo cant be excluded from that either, whether they make nice friendly games or not.

It's true that the program was a bit crap though, they didnt really need to go into Yamauchi's childhood, his family relationships, or that epilepsy bit.. And that 'Libby' woman was a bit wierd too! She didnt seem to know much about Japan or that its Legend of Zelda The WindWaker not maker! :P The only thing I like about THREE is those little plasticine thingies that say random stuff!

(Caught the first 10 secs of EastEnders too! )

That show was first shown about 5 years ago...

Get with the times man! :P

[Hitman47]

very interesting. The only thing i hold against nintendo is the use of the same shit over and over and over again, and bunch of kiddy games. Thats all.

revolution could win console war tho, i can see it and i knew lamecube was a flop.
