What's eating at Nintendo?

Crash · 11-13-2003, 03:01 AM

they try to make nintendo into a charity case, nintendo isn't doing bad, whats the big deal.... and i agree with the online thing. xbox's online games suck, i have live and i NEVER play it, cause the people on there suck, and so does the experience. smart move at saving some $$...

but now that yamaguchi or whatever his name is, is outta the way, we can get rid of some of that purple handle cube crap, and make a pimp looking system, i'm thinking red and black!

homie-g there sounds like he knows exactly what he's doing, just stop freaking out, and all will be okay....

Don't take this the wrong way I think nintendo is a dying breed I mean look at the game cube. I played on a few times but I lean more twoards the XBox because of the faster frame rates and more intense graffix (yes I do know hot to spell graffics) but there aren't that many games that I like for nintendo. I would definantly play if there were things aside from kirby's playground and such. But until then I will never buy anything nintendo

What the hell are you smoking? First of all, likeing a system for better graphics and higher framrates is the dumbest ****headed thing ive ever heard. Secondly, thats not true anyways, because the the best looking games on the Cube look just as good as the best looking games on Xbox, and that framerate thing is bullocks as well.

Lastly, no, you DONT know how to spell graPHics.

But when the same game is released on both the Xbox and the Cube the Xbox one almost always looks better.

Do you have any facts or screenshots to back that up with? I dont either, but until one of us get some, we both lose. Or we tie. Whichever you prefer.

N64 was a GREAT console.

Anyway, all I know is Ill never pay for online unless I have a good steady income.

"But when the same game is released on both the Xbox and the Cube the Xbox one almost always looks better."

Thats cause 3rd party devs get pretty lazy with the cube. It is easy to program for, yet the GC's version often comes out last, and on occasion looks worse than the other 2 (there is NO excuse for it too look worse than PS2's version). Then they blame the cube for their low sales as if anybody would want to buy their third rate port crap.

I'm going to remain optimistic for Nintendo's next console.

I personally, was satisfied with the Gamecube. It has some great games which I've enjoyed.

I think the focus on GBA-Gamecube connectivity has taken away from the Gamecube's success though. There have been some games that made a point of focusing on the GBA connection but had absolutley no appeal to me. And for the next console, I'd like to see Nintendo focus much less on the handheld/console connectivity and more on online connectivity.

I also would like to see Nintendo remain just a gaming machine. I think focusing on outside features like DVD support and computer connectivity is unneccessary and takes away from the concentration of making good games.

So it's nothing to do with the fact you hate all most any thing Microsoft then!

And lets not even go into the so called doing well Nintendo which has just posted it's first lost.

i do agree xbox live isnt that great.

but at least they're steping in the right direction. Sooner or later nintendo will HAVE to step into the online market or just die out.

If you honestly compare the GameCube and N64, the N64 was almost better.

Morpheus1 · 11-13-2003, 07:23 PM

N64 was better at it's time and in the face of its competition. N64 was arguably better than Psx; Gamecube isn't even in Ps2's league with software variety, popularity, and quality. I would love to see an exclusive Gamecube game outsell Goldeneye for N64. Xbox isn't that great right now, but I think there may be a big turn-around for the box next year with the release of Halo 2.
