I don't see how Halo can possible be considered Hall of Fame calibur. This generation isn't even over! It's absolutely absurd. Sorry, but it completely discredits this.

I'm gonna try to get to the Canadian show and play this weekend. I remember when I played the Gamecube at their travelling show, it was awesome fun.

I almost wish Nintendo would hype MP like MS did Halo, but there is such a thing as ridiculous and MS was it.

I've seen PS2 ads at 3 of the last 4 movies I've seen. It's one with an asian wise guy dude and it's a big spoof. It's for Jak 3, Ratchet and Clank and some other game.

Someone with some clout needs to suggest that to Nintendo. Some from PGC or IGN or something. Send letters to both their mailbags.

Of course there might be nothing more to the American version and it's just a trick to stop importers.
Do you ever post something that isn't negative?

Excellent site. Very...dare I say it...Sony? If this is how Nitendo is going to continue treating the DS, it'll be much more cool.

Then buy a PS2 only. Nobody's stopping you.
Seriously, dude, the only reason to care about GC sales is third-party support. If you want third-party that bad, buy the console that has the most of it.
Nintendo consoles should come with a warning like, "Do not expect anything other than Nintendo games." Maybe then the bitching would stop.
And I did read the article. I disagree with it because I like Mario, Zelda and Metroid... they're the reason I bought the GC in the first place, and I doubt I'm the only one. As long as the quality is consistent I'm happy with what they're doing.
Besides, Animal Crossing, Wario Ware and Pikmin are new franchises. I think Nintendo making 2 or 3 new franchises per generation is pretty good, as long as they build upon them in future generations and let them grow into something big, like Smash Brothers from the N64 generation.
Um...what part of 'can just afford one system' didn't you understand? I CANNOT AFFORD A PS2 AND XBOX. And your argument is idiotic. If Nintendo is going to waste money jsut so people can only play THEIR games, why bother? And why the heck shouldn't I want third party games? XBOX gets MGS, XBOX gets GTA. Why not Nintendo? Why wouldn't you want Nintendo aggresively court third party games and actually make their system something that people want? Then they get more money to make more games. You're acting like I'm saying Nintendo should never make another Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. I'd never say that. But they're acting like stuck-up children.

I'd just like to say that anyone who read the article should know that it was a piece written and edited solely by me. IGN had no role in the creation of the piece, nor does it have any controlling stake in the actions of my site, N-Sider.com. The only reason it appeared on IGN is through a partnership IGN has with us, which is described at the top of every page in the article.
For those of you who seem intent on pinning it as yet another example of IGN's hatred of Nintendo or something along those lines, perhaps you should read into things a bit more. "Playing it Safe" was not even going to be in the top spot this weekend. The only reason it was is because another article was delayed or didn't pan out as planned. And if you think that I or N-Sider are somehow Nintendo haters then obviously you didn't really read through my article (or read through it after already making up your mind about it). There is an editorial going up on N-Sider this week alone that is practically a counter editorial to the one I wrote and we have a great many writers with diverse opinions on Nintendo.
I guess that's all I have to say about that for now. I thank anyone who read the article without a bias. Thanks.
Don't worry about them. They just don't want to face it. I used to be like that too, I was a die-hard fanboy, my people could do no wrong. But now I've faced facts. Good editorial.

Why are you guys so defensive? How can you deny Nintendo has gone from the #1 company to the last place company in just 8 years? And they're not making any changes so they'll keep failing. I'm not saying I don't want Mario games, I'm saying make something sleek, cool, full of the top third party games (GTA, a real Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, more RPGs) and some of those exclusive. FIGHT for exclusivity. I'm not saying their games suck, I'm not saying they're not right about multimedia machines killing gaming, but I want them to win. They can make Mario as well as do those things. You guys know very well Nintendo is only going to float or sink if it keeps on the path it is.

Yes, and that market is...ummm...huge? And then it'll get all the attention and maybe not right away, but next time, they'll be the focus. It doesn't matter who the sales go to, it's who people talk about. Because that's where the sales go next time.

We're not talking about the quality of the DS games, so what the heck kind of defense is that? We're talking about how Nintendo is losing more and more customers. We're talking about how the only way they're going to keep their control on the handheld market and ever take back a large hunk of the console market is to make themselves cool.

I edited my post, I meant to say business.
I don't care if the DS is the best system ever. You know what? I'm buying it. I'll probably love it. But the PSP is going to come right in and become a cultural icon. The funny thing about when Reggie gave that huge speech, saying how people wanted the hot new thing, his speech should've been for the PSP. Is the DS more innovative? Yup. Is the ad campaign wicked? Yup. Is the DS itself cool? Nope. It's a sorta recantle thing, all boxy. It comes in a plastic case. The box is nice and...dull. Its launch game is going to look like an N64 port (WHY did they just make a new one?!). Imagine the DS if it was made from the same materials as the PSP, the beautiful glassly look. ANyone who has ever held an iPod will know the feeling. It's just beautiful. The DS isn't beautiful. It isn't sleek, it isn't awesome. Maybe the insides are, but the outsides aren't. It looks like a toy, not a high tech must have gadget. When they showed the new design the comment by ALL the press were not "AWESOME!" they were "Well, it's definitely better." Everyone looks at the PSP and goes 'Wow..." Heck, how can you not? Sure the DS has amazing gameplay oppertunities, but who cares about that if the PSP becomes the 'it' item? Nintendo continues to do this 'games for everyone approach'. That's fine and dandy, but there's a problem: kids will buy a sleek adult system and play games. Adults don't buy childish toys and play games. It has nothing to do with the quality, but the look and feel. Nintendo is losing...

They're in bloody third place behind MICROSOFT. Yeah they're sitll making a profit but they're losing business for goodness sake. They need to become cool, actually make themselves a competitor not the odd-duck-out. It's not the market is was in 1994, and Nintendo STILL doesn't get it. Heck, their AD campaign for the DS is amazing, except for the fact that the DS isn't. Their campaign is completely opposite of the ds.

Gameplay is NOT everything. Is it the centre of a game? Yes. But presentation is equally important. The sellability of this would be higher if it was original.

Oh, and the Link thing I must say was not a good point. SC2 had an exclusive character on every single system. To not have a Nintendo character would've made it have fewer features. Which makes 0 sense.

First of all it isn't even BY IGN. Second of all Mario Kart DD was very uninspired.
Thirdly, you guys, Nintendo is failing. And they're doing it to themselves. I LIKE Nintendo's ideas (but I want to see real innovation) and that's why I've only ever owned Nintendo, but you can't give your ideas life if you're out of business. They have to make themselves cool, which they aren't, or they're going to keep disappearing. GTA: SA is making a HUGE splash right now. Sony has it first, but then PC and XBOX get it! The Cube should get it. Nintendo needs to keep Mario to MARIO games. You guys, this isn't an attack. Nintendo is failing and they're not stopping it. This IS a Nintendo fan saying "PLEASE wake up!"
