sort yourself out nintendo

[guymelef]

i guess i did get off topic
my bad
but you are correct on all points.
I especailly like the part about nintendo losing some 3rd party companies to sony. I much like other gameers, attribute this to the n64's lack of hi quality full color FMV's. For instance tony hawk. my favorite game on the ps1/2. was even more playable and beutifull(imo) for the 64 but without fmv's and longer music tracks it just wasn't worth playing.
But N did a turn around with the GC and made things all better except, there is a whole library of games in their past that are just going to waste. Nintendo has got a big problem with makeing backwards compatible systems and i wish I knew why. they have only a couple of undertakings gb - gbc - gba. then you have the super gameboy (which they made obsolete almost immediatly after) and the new gamecube advance. but what about the rest of the library? and what kills me is that they shut down anyone that tries to do it for them. like Nintendo was really going to do it. this is why I say that if Nintendo goes out on limb with some crazy stuff on their next system, they might be going the way of sega, or worse. if they learned anything from sony or their own gameboy it should be that backwards compatibility A. sells systems B. keeps the old software alive for a little longer and C. shows that they actually care about the investments made by their consumers, D. keeps the demand for older games higher because there are new systems to play the old games.
I hope they fully realize why the virtual boy failed, if they didn't they are about to relive it. I let you infer your own opinion on that. and not just cause it was red.

Oh and except the lack of a huge library of mature games the GC does kick ass.

ive been playing games since i was 4 or five when i had a commodore 16. ive played the games in question and i cant stand them. yes its just an opinion and no there is nothing wrong with a sequel. ive always been on the side of the more serious game but not when it gets so serious as to introduce ridiculous concepts into a game. for example when you take certain pc rpg's they put in all this dice rolling malarky and complex bonus systems which i dont really understand being new to the pc world. ive also got a ps2 and it also needs a revamp of their games selection. its basically another ps1.

y opinion is the gaming world is nothing more than a popularity prick fight. the one with the bigger one seems to be getting the most attention (sounds like girls now a days, I hate women,video games are better IMO} and since every one is hopping on sony's member that is why its getting the attention.people are like oooo sony has the bigger prick it must be better, IT ISNT (imo} I love nintendo for a lot of reasons. I love their original non boring games they put out, nearly every game i played is so damn fun!!!! I love nintendo because no matter how many break ups I had with chicks, it would be there like a best friend. I love nintendo cuz no matter what they put out in the industry it has always something good for it. I hate when people start this "nintendo sucks a fat ----" The truth is just like what you like and if you don't like nintendo just keep your opinions to yourself because I am deeply offended by what people say about the big N, in all honesty if it weren't for nintendo i would be 6 feet under. yes I tried getting help for my depression but nintendo got me through it more than any human being could.

[guymelef]

[biagrin_sackville]

Nintendo don't care about the generation that made them. As gamers grow so do there taste for certain types of games, nintendo doesn't seem to care at all about it. Plus they are just plain stupid the past couple generations. Not supporting online on the gamecube is so a horrible decison. Online is the future of gaming, it starting for the most part with the dreamcast, why can't nintendo do it. Imagine mario golf, tennis online, f-zero and starfox etc. All they got online for it is a dreamcast game.....Finally they are making a zelda that appeals to me, the cell shading was a good game but I didn't care for the chracter design at all. Mario sunshine was a downgrade from mario 64, mario cart dd failed in the most important area, the battle arenas. Seems since the snes nintendo has been making some of there franchises worse imo with a few exceptions.

I take it you are one of those guys who sits around the house playing video games 6 hours a day?

Games are suppose to be an escape from reality, not something to experience realistic, mature, or hardcore aspects that you are missing or want in your life. Â*Games are for the kids in us, and for that Nintendo will always hold a special place in my heart.

And I agree with the Big N playing up to parents moreso than kids bit, also. Â*Let's be honest, from what I've gathered some parents who never grew up playing games can't tell the difference from a pixelated v-a-g-i-n-a from a pixelated mushroom. Â*At least when they recognize Mario they can bet it's safe.

if youre worrying about what your parents are thinking of computer games then you are obviously still a kid. to be honest what have the parents got to do with it. these parents know very little about games and only know what the media sensationalise about games being violent etc. as any games player knows, the violence in games is always at a minimum and very cartoon like. and there is no mention of sex in any game apart from some dodgy old amiga game. to me a film which is rated twelve has more graphic violence in it than most 18 rated games exept for manhunt. manhunt is only violent because of the thought of what you are doing. watching someone being suffocated with a plastic bag isnt as bad as thinking about it. so the bottom line is parents are stupid when it comes to any technology and need to wise up if they want to protect their kids.

Hehe, if this was towards me directly, no. I'm 27.

Indirectly and to your other quote; yes, parents do matter. Being a parent myself I have to screen everything. I'm not just talking about games. It's very important to watch and/or control everything that comes in contact with children as much as possible.

'Course, I'm still under the guise that games are for kids. Maybe it's just me who still thinks this way. Wierd, being that I grew up in the NES generation but there you go. I've said enough on this over the years, and everytime I get into it the subject usually gets bitter for me.

So, I'll stop before I get there
