I don't care how much companies make, or lose, I just care about playing fun games. So I have a hard time understanding the profit cheering crowd.

ethelred said:Here's the thing: companies can't make good games when they aren't making money.
One would think that Sega fans of all people would be able to appreciate this concept.
Do you like the fact that Sega's consoles were financial disasters and that more and more of their games bombed in sales? Do you think that's been a good thing or a bad thing in terms of impacting their creation of quality games?

The fact this thread has 2 pages and has more posts than threads like Maps Galore, and almost as much as the official rainbow six thread (just going based on front page).
Come on nintendo fans, you don't have to cheer every single thing that gets released on your console/handheld of choice. This is like a sony fan cheering on some crappy gundam/dbz game being released for the 10th time on his platform.

WHAT'S COOL IN JAPAN
November 2005
Osharemajo Love and Berry
Young girls have always liked to dress up their favorite dolls in elegant, flowing dresses, style the dolls' hair, and deck them out with bags and other accessories. Now a card game based on this type of fun has become wildly popular among Japanese girls.
Osharemajo Love and Berry (meaning Fashion Witches Love and Berry) was launched in October 2004 by Sega, the same company that created the popular boys' card game The King of Beetles Mushiking. At the start of the game, players receive an Oshare Maho(Fashion Magic) card containing a picture of a fashion item, such as a dress or a pair of shoes. game over and over. Next, they choose between two characters: Love, who adores cute clothing, and Berry, who prefers a cool style of dress. Players then scan their Oshare Maho cards into the game machine and dress their characters up in their favorite styles. After making their characters look just right, the players tap buttons in time with the sound of a tambourine to make their character dance; the winner is the one who can make their character look and dance best. The more cards a player collects, the more options she has to coordinate her player's fashion, so this motivates many girls to play the game over and over.
First-grade elementary school student Yurika began playing Love and Berry this spring and has managed to collect all 88 cards in the 2005 spring/summer collection. "I like watching Love and Berry dance while wearing clothing combinations that match my tastes," said Yurika, who was playing the game at an arcade in a shopping mall with her mom. She has even organized her card collection in an original card holder.
A Sega spokesperson says, "In the autumn/winter 2005 version of the game, players will be able to select from six settings for the game, including a ball, a fashion street, and a disco. When choosing clothing, the advice of the player's mother will be helpful. For instance, a mother might say, 'For a ball, a long dress will stand out.' We hope that this will encourage the mother and child to enjoy communicating while playing the game."
Since mid-September 2005, official contests have been held on weekends at some stores where the game machines are located. Starting at the end of October, Sega began to release the 106 cards that make up the autumn collection, and these new cards will give fashion-loving girls even more choices of clothes and accessories to use in the Love and Berry game.

Tabris needs to shut up too.ethelred said:Look at that, Tabris, I took a fall for you. How generous of me.

Thanks. It's not mine, I found it in the pokemans thread in OT.ethelred said:I like your cat.
ethelred said:Do you somehow think Sega is better off now that the bulk of their business choices have led to financial ruin?
Tsubaki said:I think Sega was better off dying with the Dreamcast than the shovelware they've been putting out as a 3rd party for 5 years now. It was ok to give them a break back then, but come on. Enough is enough.

kpop100 said:I don't see the big deal here. So they are releasing a fun little game that's popular with the kiddies (and a few resident GAF peds). Now some of the responses defending the game in this topic are a bit creepy and a little overly defensive.
Branduil said:What's this? A game company releasing a game that does not appeal to me in any way? I am appalled, and offended, and hurt.
