Too Much For Nintendo These Days

[Shibathedog]

i was reading about the new Nintendo console, and AGAIN, they are making the mistake of not going for the "Home entertainment system ina box" idea, i dont think its a good idea either, but it gives everyone else an advantage

 

its supposed to be rediculously powerfull too

personally...I think nintendo's main problem is that they're way too first party for their own good...no one wants to really work for them 'cause its either their way or the highway...'specially in america...

 

...look back to nes...in japan, developers were allowed to make their own chips and crap to make their games better, but when those games were brought to america, they had to be downgraded because american nes's only worked on one kind of chip...compare the japanese and american versions of Castlevania 3 for the best example of this...

 

...Super NES...could have had something great...but nintendo said screw that, and now we have Playstation...

 

...Gameboy...the biggest "F--ck you" to the gaming industry ever...no one thought it would ever succeed because it lacked color...look at where it is now, then look at where the other handhelds are...DEAD...the problem with this is the backwards compatability with certain things...Nintendo Dissed itself when pokemon crystal came out...wasn't backwards compatible for gameboy, which meant no super gameboy support either, despite it being in the same era as gold and silver...also, game boy color made regular game boy games kinda "eh"...but the super game boy activated ones (again with the pokemon) didn't get those perks...and now Gameboy Player on gamecube does the same crap...no super gameboy activation...obviously they forgot something...

 

...Virtual boy...came out in the era of horrid consoles, and in itself was quite horrid (only video game anything to f--ck with my health)...and was just a hassle to play...

 

...N64...They did not want to go CD yet...and because of that, many developers didn't want to work with them (and the controller had a good layout for fighting games too...imagine what Capcom could have done...) they should have learned from their mistake with SNES's supposed add on cost them...

 

...Gamecube...too first party for its own good...just look at that abomination of a controller...my GOD...its not really all that friendly for anything but nintendo's own games...BAD IDEA...and why allow PSO and sh--t to be on it if you're not gonna have a keyboard?

 

...thats all for now...

The system was able to play all our favorite VS. games (i.e. Marvel vs Capcom) along with the 4mb expansion. Only if Capcom coulda made VS.(or even other streetfighter games like EX) installments on the N64, we wouldnt of had the horrible massacrings we saw on PS1 .

Exactly...Kinda like Sega of America not allowing the expansion carted games here...like KoF '95 and pretty much Every CPS2 fighter (thank goodness for Emulators!)

Nintendo will live forever!!!!! They are not stupid they are making a killing with the GBA and GC (the development and manufacture costs were cheap)...

memory serves me right, capcom had planned a street fighter game for n64 but dumped it. i'm not sure if sf ex's would look good on there since using the carts it was a 50/50 thing (mk4 for example looked great but sound was here and there)

 

plain and simple, capcom alone can't be at the mercy of nintendo for their dumb decision to stick with carts and it was damn near the end of n64 life they decided to release one best ports of re2 on n64 but still the point was most ppl already had the ps1 version which was also a bargin at $20 when n64's was $40+

well...yeah...but when it comes to a 6 face button arcade-ish layout, capcom comes to mind...hence my mentioning it...it was meant as an example...

Nintendo screwed themselves by not implementing CD's in the N64...I wonder what would of happened if they did and FF7 came out on the N64 instead of the PS...

 

I bet you people would of called the PS kiddy and said the N64 owned

[Prican25]

i still wonder today what if atari took up their offer to make the nes
