Re: E32005: Nintendo's Show

What I find strange is that they never mention Nintendo for any of these next gen games being announced.

While others (me included) are playing the next gen GTA's and Halos. Nintendo Revolution owners will have some gizmo attached to their head where they blink to make Mario jump.

Seriously, some of Nintendo's comments about they're next gen console are disturbing.

Lmao, I know. And nintendo keeps talking about how no one wants to play online games when xbox live has been one of the most successful subscription services ever. Meanwhile, nintendo comes out with some worthless add on to the gamecube and some more mario and zelda games.

I don't understand why Nintendo is being tip lipped about all their products. You would think it's good to get the buzz going but I guess they don't believe in that philosphy. They've also said online gaming isn't big and they won't do it until they can turn a profit. But as a gamer I'd rather have the option of playing online then having the option to link up a GBA and GameCube.

Call me crazy but playing ESPN NHL 2k5 online is a lot better than unlocking extra madden cards from connectivity.

There are barely any games that support that connectivity anyway.

At first the Revolution will do bad then eventually like XBOX, will see the light then start having great games with good financial technique and stuff then Nintendo will come back in the spotlight. I think PS3 will be bad...

My Next Gen Console War Predictions:

1. Xbox 2
2. Nintendo Revolution
3. Playstation 3

LOL yea Sony will finish last..............Try again.

Re: E32005: Nintendo's Show

Nintendo is too arrogant for their own good. Thats my take on it. I remember when the N64 was announced, and people questioned why they were the only system maker to not go to a CD based gaming console. Nintendo responded that they didnt feel it was needed because the consumer didnt want it, even though cartridge based software has a higher production cost which was passed on to consumers. Does anyone else remember that N64 games at launch were 59.99+?

Then the Gamecube comes along and Nintendo says they dont support online gameplay because they feel consumers want more than simple online play. Really? It seems to be working out for Sony anf Microsoft. IMO the gamecube has a couple of good titles, but no online play really hurts most of the cross platform games. Why buy a game for the GC if you can get it on PS2 and play it against other people?

Nintendo needs to get off the high horse and give people what they want instead of telling us what we want. If they do that, the Revolution could be an awesome system.

Well the one good thing of the N64 atleast it didn't have long load times like the PS1 did at the time. But I do admit I did like PS1 games alot better than N64 games.

Its not the high horse syndrome, it is their teachings.

Example. Everyone knows that Japanese are taught way more than American students, They are in school year round and go at it like its a 9-6 job. People perceive this as them being smarter than Americans, when the reality is that they are just trained to know everything and follow tradition. They dont like change. They dont understand evolution, which is why i find Revolution being the codename highly ironic and hilarious. The have a hard time thinking for themselves as they are trained to just do whatever is placed in front of them.

Ever notice how all those Japanese cartoons(Pokemon/Digimon) are the same damn thing? Its so they buy all the crap without needing to think for themselves. The "our master is correct, so we must obey it" style of thinking.

My thinking is that they see American culture as being based on retro style, every 40 years something is brough back and made to look current enough to fit it. Only they also see that the pace has picked up and we are recycling our own culture on a 20 year scale now. They arent trying to fit in with now, they are just waiting til they are back in as the flavor of the now.
