TalkBack / RE:GameCube’s Mid-Term Report Card
« on: December 24, 2003, 10:23:18 AM »
Nintendo definitly needs to get more "casual" gamers to buy gamecubes. The PS2 has tons of games...but LITERALLY 95 percent of them I would never want to play. Nintendo has a lot of their own games but as it was already said that they aren't all that much better then the games that we played a few years ago. Windwaker was NOT nearly as good as Ocarina of Time (in any category), and Mario Sunshine got boring very fast. As for third party development...Nintendo is still getting the shaft on most games...how often do you see a game add on tv and they show the system icons and the only icon missing is the Gamecube logo. Heck sometimes it is even on teh GBA but not the Gamecube. The PS2 is harder to program on yet all of these developers seem to make it their first system they develop on. Midway is even starting to slowly pull their support...they canceled GCN versions of Manhunt and PSIOps or ESPionage or what ever they are calling the piece of crap now...In two years I want to see a Nintendo system that will blow all others away...I think Nintendo needs to welcome all types of games and give up on the"graphics don't need to be pretty" and get more games online, there are plenty of games on all systems that that are online for PS2 and XBox but GCN doesn't go online with them...The gamecube obviously can do online so what is the problem?
