Now, I'm not saying it will ever happen: Nintendo is healthy, and the outlook is good. That said, I never like to say never, and have been curious about what would happen to Nintendo fansites if the company were to ever stop making consoles. So what would happen to PGC? Would you switch to Sony or Microsoft? Cover Nintendo as a third-party? Or just close up shop entirely?

Homer: If I die during the operation, will you do one thing for me?
Marge: Oh, anything, sweetheart.
Homer: Blow up the hospital.
Marge: Well...I said I'd do it, so I guess I'll have to.

What would happen to PGC if North America was wiped out by a volley of nukes? That's more likely than Nintendo going completely third party.

Nintendo's said time and time again that the day they stop making consoles is the day they stop making games, so don't worry about such a situation.

Wouldn't stop me from playing my GameCube, is this not a website dedicated to the playing of GameCube?

I guess it's about as relevant as discussing if Nintendo ever contracted to build a bridge crossing the Pacific.

Maybe I'd start that N-Gage news site I've always dreamed of

Now come on and let's be realistic. While I don't see Nintendo going third party, just because they said before that they won't, it doesn't mean it's true. No one - not even Nintendo - can predict the future...

I suppose you're right - no one can predict the future. Okay, if Nintendo goes 3rd Party, PGC will deploy the NinteNinjas to go back in time and fix any mistakes that caused this to happen. There's your answer.

no, now that the crazy G.W.Bush in the office

What would happen to PGC if North America wiped out the world by a volley of nukes?

Stevey, no political nonsense.

Have you checked whether that "Stevey" is another of those 'joke accounts'?

Nephilim · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2005, 04:45:25 AM »

well planetdreamcast.com is still around
maybe a name change like alot of the N64 mags, well since most of them died after changing there name, might not be that great

vudu · « **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2005, 07:14:03 AM »

Planetdreamcast.com still deals with the Dreamcast exclusively. It's not like there's a new Sega system to do anything with. They don't even have anything to do with new Sega games on other systems.

I think we're all assuming that the folks at PGC will start to focus on the Revolution after it's released.

Bahahaha!

It's his sometimes grammatically incorrect typing isn't it? Maybe he just isn't as "perfect" as you, but i see no other reason to suggest his account is a "joke".

KDR_11k · « **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2005, 09:14:26 AM »

It's some downright idiotic posts but I guess the general acceptance of joke accounts as "funny" around here is making me paranoid.
