If Nintendo never saved the video game crash of 1983 what do you think gaming would be like now?

gaming would only be on PC, no consoles.

EA would never have a monopoly on sports games and would never become as big and Mass Effect 2 and 3 would be good RPGs.
I think the opposite. I think we'd have better tech right now maybe a mass produce version Similar to the Nerve gear from the anime Sword Art Online.

Call of Duty would probably not exist.

ITT: massively wild speculation

Nintendo didn't "save" the 1983 crash. The video games industry crashed in North America, then Nintendo capitalized on the market vacuum by releasing the NES in NA in 1985.

If it wasn't Nintendo, it would probably have been another Japanese game company like Sega. The Sega Master Sytem followed the NES by only eight months in NA. Consoles didn't cease to exist following the crash.

I'm just stating that now because of the game saves that the aspect of originality is dead and dumbfounded. Games were made to feed the hungry masses of dead brained idiots who want simple encoding within most games so they can press as little amount of buttons they could, only to fail miserably in that the dumbest games were made and massed produced.

So if Nintendo never of had the game saves, then the stupidest games wouldn't be mass produced. Only great awesome games would be mass produced and catered to the loyal diehard game fans. Most likely, people into games would create a subculture of humans who'd want to live inside a videogame just to complete it and actually learn something.

It's like saying "if it weren't for _____ we could have giant mechs like in Evangelion."

The consumer market for computer hardware helped push the development of technology. (Computer hardware in this case refering to both personal computers and the hardware in consoles and arcade cabinets.) Saying that we would have more advanced technology as a result of the consumer market disappearing is just... waht is this i dont even.

Also, Sword Art Online? Chapter 16.5 is canon.

It has no windows in the back because... it's a time machine.
