I agree with Ian Sane. Nintendo should have launched with at least one NEW game. I like the fact that other companies are showing good support from the launch, but there isn't a game which is a must buy. Unless they changed around Mario 64 a bit more, then I don't think it's really worth buying.
Ian Sane: "It's one thing to launch with a port of an obscure game but one that's not even ten years old and still sells in stores NEW for it's original console? This is a lazy launch. This is one situation where the negative point of view isn't overreacting or being pessimistic."
It IS a lazy launch by Nintendo. If they're going to toot originality, why'd they start by making a port their ONLY launch title? The multiplayer will hopefully be something new and different. Otherwise, it would be better to skip out on it and wait till games like Wario Ware.
I agree with Jonny. If you're Nintendo, and if you're going to have only once launch title, it better be good. It better have WOW factor. As jonny said, it was the least interesting game at E3 for DS. If Mario 64 isn't changed that much, it won't be as appealing to the consumer obviously. It's going to be a great game regardless however, but Nintendo should have launched with another title. The pack in demo and pictochat make up for it by a lot, and if i were to get a game at launch, it would probably be Mario 64 if it turns out well. If not, then MR DRILLER! I do like the other launch titles from other companies a bit.
