And I find it equally funny how people put down the PSP before it's been released. *coughcough* You know the name of this thread?
"And yet, Nintendo main focus is " Quality over Quanity unlike Sony."
You mean, like the 10 Star wars games that've come out for Gamecube, and GBA? Or do you mean the old, early-1990 SNES games, that are being ported to GBA, so they can make another quick 30-50$ off your love for the original, good games..
As for the names? Bashing one over the other makes you an idiot. Both "Nintendo Dual Screen" and "Playstation Pocket" are horrendously stupid names.
In any case.. I'm afraid Nintendo's landing of such deals as Resident Evil, and things like Eternal Darkness, don't change the fact that Nintendo is still a "little kid" company. Of course, that's not a BAD thing, it's just that they don't have to go out of their way to make their game series even more childish. (Windwaker, Sunshine..)
Of course, there are those rare times when Nintendo "gets it right," as with Super Smash Bros Melee and Metroid Prime (which I thought was mediocre at best, but most people seem to love it.)
I think the entire premise of having two screens is pointless, especially if they require you to concentrate on both at once. More than anything, though, what I can't stand about Nintendo is their shameless marketting.
Making games that require four gameboy advances in order to play (4 Swords, Crystal Chronicles) is inexcusable, as well as placing advertisements for other products inside the games you already bought. "Buy the E-Card Reader, please!" (Animal Crossing..)
"Hook up your gameboy advance and get Twinkle's FruityHelpâ¢!"(Zelda, Windwaker)
There's more.. but it's not worth going on about it. I just don't think Nintendo should be basically forcing or coercing people to buy their other garbage products when you were nice enough to shell out 50$ for a game that was rehashed from a 1980's classic, anyway.
sorry i have to disagree with you here. this is sort of angering me, and after skimming through this thread and all the ones before it i have to say my opionin whethere someone said it already or not.
me being a
HUGE Nintendo fan for one. Which basically means i like the games. I grew up playing nintendo, then snes then n64 and now game cube. Now of course due to how old it is my nintendo broke. And as of last february (my birthday month! *tear*) Game stop stopped selling nintendo consoles and once the games are sold thats it for nintendo. So i can't buy it there. also im not fond of buying stuff online.
When i play a game, i want it to be entertaining, fun, and something to pass the time when im bored. Now what game was more fun then regular nintendo games?!?!? i mean come on they are classic. Zelda kicked ass still does, and they are making a new one for 2005. also mario was awsome still is. i personally liked the sunshine one, it was a nice challenge, and entertaining.
To you blood flying everywhere, stealing cars, and killing people etc might be entertaining to you but its not to me. ⌐.⌐ im typing more then i had anticipated...
What im trying to say is if you make a thread about 2 different things. not everyone is the same so there is going to be stuff like "that sucks" "this is better" "your a *** homosexual for liking that game/w/e" Some people like nintendo others like playstation. give it a rest. Its just like that ati vs. nvidia post, that was closed.. wonder why? instead of 'asking' someones opinion why not actually
get whatever it is you are wondering about and judge it yourself. as for this you can't do that yet because its not out. so asking people who just as well dont have it is pointless.
also about those clasic games. im happy they converted zelda and sonic (sega i know) to gba and gcn, now i can play the games i grew up playing and loved. if nintendo didn't do that i wouldn't be able to play them today. I wish they would do that with all their older games. *ffeeew* ok im done
⌐.⌐
some people don't think that nintendo nor its games are garbage thats strictly your opinion yet you make it sound like a fact. or course other people seem to love things you dont. they arent you. Just because it's "childish" doesn't mean its not fun. Nintendo is out for entertainment, not blood and guts spewing everywhere. they try to make it fun for all ages. so they do some sponge bob and shrek for kids, while sunshine yes i ment it as well along with resident evil and those for more older kids. If you haven't played games on nintendo you shouldn't say they are crap. Just because the commercial didnt look good doesn't give you the right to judge it. If you actually played Super Mario Sunshine you would know that it is not for a little kid, that game can get very hard.
also you can not sit there and tell me that PS2 doens't have any kiddie games. gcn has more so what?
