Nintendo Gaming / bonus discs

« on: May 03, 2003, 05:29:54 AM »

An F-zero bonus disk would be a great idea.  Why?  Cuz, like Zelda, F-zero was on N64 and 64DD.  Having F-zero X and the Track Editor on the same disk would be great.

Nintendo Gaming / Downsides of Online Gaming (from an experienced online PC gamer)

« on: May 01, 2003, 10:04:34 AM »

The thing that bothers me the most about online games are the cheaters.  And playing console games online is pointless without a headset.  Putting down a controller just to use a keyboard sucks.

You missed FFantasyX's point Mouse_Clicker. Nintendo announced sometime ago that in March they sold 20% more Gamecubes than they did in February. Nintendo sold 164,000 GCs in February. A 20% increase would mean the GC sold 196,800 units in March.

Actually, Nintendo said that there was a 20% increase in Gamecube sales when Zelda was released.  That means that there was only a 20% increase in sales during the last week of March, since Zelda didn't come out until the 24th...
