Stuff you like that is hated by everyone else.

haha what? Don't you think you're being a tad ridiculous?

The N-Gage doesn't have a better library than the Wii U because it has no notable games at all. Mostly GBA ports and awful cell phone/sports/puzzle trash. /v/ doesn't even have recommended games listed for it. The device was awful and its games were just as bad.

Your opinion is outright godawful.

Ashen
Pathway to Glory
Glitterati
Bomberman
Splinter Cell games
Virtua Tennis
Pocket Kingdom

That wiki usually has good recommended games, but the N-Gage being left off is a mistake.

Want a real system with no games?

Get a Tapwave Zodiac.

Ashen was a blurry mess that would have been better off on PC as a throwback to classic id software games, but instead was published as a "system seller" for the N-Gage by Nokia. Can you guess how many people it convinced to buy the N-Gage? Not many. I played it. I owned it. It is really not that great. The main feature outside of "bluetooth omg!!!" that they touted at the time was how "advanced" the AI was. The AI was still incredibly stupid and the music wasn't exactly anything to write home about. Gameplay was adequate seeing as how awful the N-Gage's controls were.

Pathway to Glory was pretty fun actually, but not worth getting an N-Gage for. They really should port it to another service already, I'd like to play it again without having to put up with how poopty the N-Gage is.

Glitterati? You mean Glimmerati? Who buys a handheld for a racing game? Especially when during the same exact year, the PSP Wipeout was released, and that version of Wipeout is far better than Glimmerati. Glimmerati was solid, but no matter what game you put on that thing, the problems with the N-Gage affect it(Cartridge slot placement, button placement, phone keys getting in the way of poop, tiny screen, etc.)

Bomberman. A game that is on EVERY cell phone and EVERY major handheld(usually a superior version too) is not a reason to own an N-Gage at all. This version of Bomberman isn't even that great. You're better off playing one of the other hundred Bomberman games.

I can't say anything about the Splinter Cell n gage games as a whole, but I owned both the original Xbox version of Chaos Theory and the N-Gage version and liked that game a lot. I was impressed by how the N Gage version had practically all the mechanics of the console version in-tact even if it looked worse than a 1st generation PS1 game. That said, there was no reason to really own that version of the game at all if you had the console version and you were probably better off investing in a PS2 or Xbox rather than an N-
Gage anyway. Thankfully it was a gift from a friend.

Never even touched Pocket Kingdom but I've heard N-Gage enthusiasts call it one of the best RPGs ever made and as a result checked it out through emulators and videos. It's certainly fine, but I don't really see how it deserves the fuss it gets from N-Gage guys. I chalk it up to the fact that N-Gage just never had much to begin with.

No mention of Requiem of Hell eh?

Anyway I don't really understand why you two like the device(especially Neerb, because he never owned one) but whatever the case may be you have to admit it has a weak library and frankly is difficult to like. Many people that like it, only do because everyone else doesn't. It's a hipster mentality. It's a very non-userfriendly device with a weak library, awkward shape, tiny screen, weak sound, and the list just goes on and on.

The N-Gage didn't succeed because it sucked.

Yeah, if anything it was ahead of its time when it came to mixing games and a phone.

I've heard people say that, yeah.

As for stuff I like that is hated by everyone else, I'm not sure if I'm into anything like that.

Only one of Nintendo's main competitors was able to cut into the absolute control they had over the handheld market. Being a really terrible phone didn't help it, either.

It honestly depends on whether or not you do it to just piss people off or you genuinely like something that happens to be hated by many people. The good thing is that when it's hated by so many, it's probably loved by many too.

Well I still like Mega Man Battle Network. It was popular as intercourse  while it was still relevant but these days people seem to hate it. It's always extremes with people and even though I'm used to it I just don't get it.

Never really played it, just a standard tactical RPG?

It seems like it's always the extreme because of the silent majority who are smart enough to stay out of discussions that go nowhere.

That goes for everything, especially fans of things/users of certain sites. Silent majority at work.

It's this weird hybrid tactical RPG. You move Mega Man across a 6x3 grid(you only control half at the start of the fight, usually). You attack with your Mega Buster and with Battle Chips which are your special attacks/abilities that you customize through a "deck", so its kind of like a TCG too. There are element affinities and terrain changes to the battlefields. Later games have more features(like transformations and fusions for Mega Man) and content but weaker narratives. Multiplayer was pretty fun, but playing via link cable is probably out of the question for most people these days.

I've never really played any other tactical RPG like this series, so at least its somewhat unique. Not great enough for clones to pop up but still good enough to play through.

Never have been one for tactical RPGs, but I'll give it a shot. Been looking to go through the GBA library for good stuff that I missed.

Holy poop, they really did run the Battle Network franchise into the ground, didn't they? Almost as bad as Guitar Hero.

Uh, based on the reaction of people here I guess I can say that me liking a bunch of modern cartoons is probably unpopular. Like the old stuff too, though.

Yeah. They did. Capcom got a little taste of Pokemon's success and went a little crazy trying to milk it.

What modern cartoons are you into?

[Tupin]

Considering Mega Man is essentially a dead franchise at this point, you can see where it started to fall.

Used to really like Regular Show,  but got bored of it. Still like Gravity Falls and I just watched this other show called Steven Universe which is pretty cool. It sucks because action cartoons are DOA and the series that mix comedy and action to stay on a network depend so much more on writing to keep the episodes decent. I also watch 'the cartoon that shall not be named lest it starts poop," though its been on hiatus for a long time and is just coming back soon.
