Nintendo did not save gaming in that it revived gaming. It "saved" gaming in that it made gaming finally good.

>It "saved" gaming in that it made gaming finally good.

Computer gaming has been ahead of console gaming for most of history, though the late 80s-early 90s was something of an exception. After Doom arrived though, PCs took the lead and didn't lose it again.

[Anonymous No.6927958]

>>6927946
It did revive it. The industry was so dead that they had to come up with ROB and try to market the whole thing as a toy while disguising the fact that it was a video game console, because nobody wanted to buy those.
This was entirely a US event, though. Gaming was doing fine elsewhere.

Like 600 consoles and computers came out in the years between the Atari and the Famicom's release, just because you're favorite e-celeb ha never mentioned them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Zoomer. Computer games were selling like hotcakes, and a major factor in the crash was the Atari 8-bits and Commodores making consoles look like jokes in comparison.

The Atari 8-bit computers were a victim of the crash if anything.

[Anonymous No.6928398]

>>6928387
Nah they were the victims of Atari's retarded management who refused to market them properly or release any proper programming documentation.

[Anonymous No.6928405]

>>6928398
The programming documentation issue was only a thing in the first year on the market and there were a lot of factors ranging from the crash to the C64 surpassing them technologically.

[Anonymous No.6928408]

There was actually a series of convergent events in 1983-84 which affected the console game market, the home computer market, and the business computer market and all were in some way or another related to market oversaturation with too many products and not enough customers.

[Anonymous No.6928430]

>Iwata recalled, "We examined nearly every game console then on the market, including machines we imported from other parts of the world, but none of them had the graphics fidelity we wanted. We came up with the idea for the game pad as we were worried that children could break conventional joysticks too easily. We were a bit obsessive about that; the Famicom's controller buttons were tested with a machine punch and pressed more than 1 million times, and still worked afterward."[45]

[Anonymous No.6928437]

>>6928430
>The creation of the Famicom was hugely influenced by the ColecoVision, Coleco's competition against the Atari 2600 in the United States. Takao Sawano, chief manager of the project, brought a ColecoVision home to his family, who were impressed by the system's capability to produce smooth graphics at the time,[16] which contrasts with the flicker and slowdown commonly seen on Atari 2600 games. Uemura, head of Famicom development, stated that the ColecoVision set the bar for the Famicom.[17]

He was right. Do you know how many Atari sticks gave their lives for Decathlon?

[Anonymous No.6928456]

>>6928445
bit of a shame, but NES programmers had a habit of trying to bite off more than they could chew. it was discussed the other day about TMNT: The Manhattan Project and how it has shitloads of flicker because of the large sprites.

Anon, I appreciate your effort into making fake quotes, but do a bit of research first, Iwata wasn't a Nintendo employee at the time, nor had any participation in the creation of the Famicom.
>>6928562
Nobody outside of brit trash knew/care about that game, but nah: Metroid had scrolling and coherent design. It wasn't inspired by Jet Bong Willie.

It was inspired by the Alien movies. Gunpei Yokoi outright said it was.

He means that he's eternally in pain for the fact Nintendo is still beloved today by people of all ages and regions, and his microcomputer is merely a meme and a subject of mockery.
In his mind, the reason why the Spectrum isn't respected isn't because its developers (mostly young brit amateur kids who didn't know much about coding, much less about design or arts), but because Nintendo is popular. In his mind, if Nintendo hadn't tricked kids with their mapper trickery, then the Spectrum, Amiga and other computers with bad games would be more respected world-wide.
Basically, a real schizophrenic person having continuous episodes on an anonymous board. Nothing too uncommon I guess.

[Anonymous No.6928636]

Call it an industry consolidation if you like, but most of the systems that bit the dust in the crash were technologically outdated ones anyway and at the end of their viable commercial lifespan. I mean, Jesus, the Atari 2600 was six years old by 1983. It was antediluvian.

[Anonymous No.6928641]

of course the NES had loads of them too. you want to tell me X-Men or Rocky & Bullwinkle were any good at all?

[Anonymous No.6928660]

>>6928650
Nobody's defending those games. Yes they were terrible and yes the NES had a lot of shovelware on it. I think the Amiga's shovelware was worse on average because there was absolutely zero Q/C or oversight of those games, but I've never denied that at least half of the NES's library is trash that's not worth revisiting.

It did, but ignore LemonAmiga lists. They vastly overrate mediocre Bitmap Brothers and Team 17 games.
