just read this article on gamespot, and well, let it speak for itself:
http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/news/news_6086941.html

has Nintendo gone nuts? or have they got themselves a brilliant idea?

There also coming out with a Japan Limited Edition gameboy advance SP. Who knows what there up to. It's nintendo what do you expect.

Yeah, I was a little young during the actual "original" console craze (being only 29 now). I do remember my atari 2600 and 7800s. I also had a Coleco something or other...

I remember Pac Man, Pole Position, Yars Revenge and many others fondly. I just feel (again, prob. due to my age) that the whole thing never really took off until the NES and Sega Master System came out.

It's hard to imagine, in another 10 or so years, my kids saying "Oh yeah, I remember that PS2! Man talk about old school graphics!"

I do have a soft spot for Nintendo, though. And in a way I would like to see them back on top in the "console wars". But even if you ignore the VirtualBoy and the 30 different versions of the Game Boy you can get, they just don't seem to be going in the right direction.
While the PS2 came out with backwards compatibility so you could play all your PS1 games, and both the PS2 and Xbox could double as DVD players for those that didn't already have one, Nintendos Game Cube has odd sized cds and offers nothing as far as extras.

Now, I'm all for "dedicated" game machines, don't get me wrong. To me, that's the reason to get a console system in the first place. To see how well game systems work when marketed as "multimedia devices", see 3DO. But Nintendo just seems to be going down the wrong road. And I can't really say why I feel that way, I just do...

Just to show I'm not biased to any particular game co., here's a list of my systems:
NES
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64
3DO
TurboGrafx 16
PS2

And at one point or another, I've also had:
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis / 32x / sega cd
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Atari Jaguar
PS1

So what's the point of all this? I don't really remember, but it made perfect sense when I started typing!

Oh, well. Here's to all the systems that didn't make the cut!! They all had their good points (well, meybe not the Jaguar...), and everyone has their favorite.

Ok, I'll stop now.

*BTW, Hi Auric! Some of the long termers said you were MIA.*

Ok, now I'll really stop!

DS is gonna crash like Virtual Boy.

Nope, but I've got a GBASP which I haven't played with lately due to very few games I have and uh, homework and too many shiny games for my PS2.

3DO! Rocking little system despite how expensive it was. We played Twisted the Game Show ALL the time. It also has the best version of Star Control II ever made... still playable to this day.

Darksaber7 Wrote:Well, I don't have a Game Cube, but on a positive note for the big N, I do still play the 64 from time to time. The biggest reason being Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. But I still play Mario 64, Doom 64 and Episode one racers, too. I never got a GC because as soon as I found out the PS2 would play PS1 games I knew it was the system I would get. Plus, I had become quite a PS fan over the previous few years. Now that I think about it though, I haven't really gotten any new games for any system sience GTA: VC... Even my PS2 is collecting some dust. Spending too much time at this PC! (And too much time out of work )

Haaaaa - I've actually been playing my N64 again recently too! I played another round of Zelda "Ocarina of Time" a few months ago, and just last week, picked up and started playing "Perfect Dark" again. Those were probably the best two games for that system (to me, anyway). The frame rate sucks on PD, and the graphics are dated, but that game has awesome game play and I enjoy playing it again.

But the big N has definitely been a disappointment in recent years.

I'm not sure I'll be getting another (console) system period, until they start offering more immerseful experiences. I'm tired of the graphics getting beefed up - they can do that forever and not interest me much more by it.

The technology exists already. They can make games that really immerse the player by putting them (practically) right in the 3D environment via 3D goggles similar to the ones NASA is currently using to view the Mars rovers imagery. These devices can be mass-produced at a cost effective level. I don't understand why games aren't going (true) 3D. It's still all just happening on a FLAT screen. It doesn't need to be this way.

Well, that's my take on it anyway. Honestly, before the recent systems came about, I really thought this generation of consoles would be the ones that utilized this technology. Sadly, I don't even think the next generation will either. BLAH!
