Nintendo Gaming / RE: So is Nintendo stupid enough to make the controller use normal, non-rechargable batteries?
« on: September 24, 2005, 01:56:32 PM »
I just can't believe they have those "15 minute AA chargers" now. When I got mine the best they had was 8 hours. Then right after I bought mine they released the 4 hour unit. Then they had 2 hours, and now they have a freaking charger than does 4 AA batteries in 15 minutes! BASTARDS!
Granted I need them most for the CD player in my car. But I'd like to keep it that way. C'mon the SP and the DS sport the right type of battery for this job. Why not put it in the controller? I think there is a good chance they will. And they better do it.
DO IT.

So do I. Things were so much more fun when I thought the N64 was a fluke and that without the stupid cartridge goof-up Nintendo would be able to make up tons of lost ground. It really sucks to watch a company you love screw up some of the most easy things imaginable all while eating away at your patience and enthusiasm until you're all cynical and don't trust the company to do anything right anymore. Being a Nintendo fan for the last five years has been like watching a loved one destroy their life in front of you.
Heh, heh...Amen to that.
You know Ian, you and I see very "eye to eye" with this stuff. Nintendo HAVE screwed up. Your post up there^ with your list of reasons why, has debatable parts for some, I'm sure. But the major point to be made is this. Nintendo have made mistakes. So far as the business side of things go. I'm definately not going to bash the cube's game selection because compared to what I got on the N64 (I never played PSONE) it was freaking heaven.
It is fair to say "Nintendo blew that one" one on several different GCN topics. But I don't think it's fair to say that they haven't brought high quality games to us. We've had plenty.
The difference between myself and Ian Sane is this, I don't let the negatives get me so down. I try and remain unvested (not a word) in some way so that I can just stand back and let my company go. I love Nintendo and want the best for them fiscally, because that means I get to keep playing my precious Mario, Link, Donkey Kong yadda yadda. But I don't want to ever get totally down on them either.
Because what matters is that I am happy with the games I play. Yes I could list about a dozen different things Nintendo should have done better just over the last five years! And I do, quite often. But through all of that I refuse to not be hopeful, not blind, just hopeful. I will point out the mistakes on the way. But hey, if Nintendo want to go with this controller then damn it, I'm going to get behind them untill they screw up so badly I make empty threats about leaving the Nintendo brotherhood.
Do Nintendo need to get on the ball in a dozen different ways to save their image and their company's future? YES.
Will I have a heart attack when I see that the next Mario game involves you brushing your teeth with the remote controller and your hair as well as the game had been retitled "Mario Bathtime!"...because clean is better than dirty? YES.
But will I also appreciate the first Revoltuion game to blow me away? To set new standards? To disprove non-believers? YES.

General Chat / RE: ghostbusters 3?
« on: September 23, 2005, 01:03:25 PM »
Yeah I remember reading about the supposed "plot" to GB3. Murray and no interest in doing it (He said they were all too old and fat) so it was going to be about Ray and Egon training a new group of "youngsters ghostbusters". While this was happening the start of the new millenium would bring about the beginning of armageddon and New York was going to be the gateway through which hell opened up. The Youngbusters would then have to deal with the monsters and ghouls before they were ready, resulting in comedic mistrials and hilarious offbeat goofy antics for all.
It would have sucked worse than Part 2.

I remember when Ian was more positive. Of course then again we were ALL positive at the start of the GCN era.

You know, I remember reading one of Matt's "I know TEH EVEREETHING about the Rev pieces over at IGN where he made mention that the article that Perrin Kaplin was quoted in saying "The Rev will be 2-3 times as powerful as the GCN" was taken down after a short time and that the cause was misinterpretations. Whatever that means. Anyway Matt (can't believe I'm citing him as a reference) used that as a counter argument to that point. He was of the opinion that nothing had "officially" been said about how powerful the Rev was going to be.
I should look for that link...

People are very adaptable. While we are creatures of habit, we form new habits rather easily. This has been proven in the technology field time and time again. Think about Lp's, and the switch to 8 track, then cassette tapes, then CD's. As long as the technology is truly a step forward, and it's significantly more convenient, are these changes universally appealing. For instance, albums sound better than CD's, but for pure convenience, cd's win in a landslide. The difference in sound quality is negligible to all but the trained ear, so for the consumer, it's a great trade-off.
That's why I think this extreme change will be good. It's been 20 years since the last major innovation, with the NES, and that's too long.
People ARE adaptable. But as I said, only to a certain extent. The controller is one thing. But if there is something more than that, then people will start becoming weirded out by the Rev and we don't want that. Sure people upgraded from tapes to CDs, yeah. But they didn't have to listen to music through their butt or anything once CDs came out.
Change is good. But all things are good in moderation. Change being no excepetion to that rule.
