The problem with 3 slots, as I've said before, is that you likely won't be able to find all the old games you want. Sure, they could reproduce those games on the original carts, but what kind of sense is there in that? You would be wasting money making games on 3 different mediums, whereas having one disc or card would make things that much more simpler. I love the idea of entire series being put onto a cart. If it even had some extras, like those on DVDs, you could have some pretty kick-ass compilations. Just imagine all the games in a series fully reproduced on one cart. Zelda, FF, Mario, Kirby, DK, Star Fox, Sonic (Yeah, even SONIC!).

As much as I think the iQue is nifty, I hope that is not what the new product is. From what I've gathered the iQue was released in China, piracy capitol of the world, to be unpiratable and "catch them up" with game systems that Nintendo could not release there because of potential profit loss. The iQue's games are assorted N64 and Super NES games. Everywhere but China we have already experienced those games, therefore Nintendo would be moving backwards (IMO the wrong direction). As for compilations we still have the GBA and while it can't imitate N64's graphics, I'm sure its successors will be able to. Until then, brush off your 64 and play.

I would rather likely never find an old game I want than absolutely never find it. If a retro machine only plays new re-releases of old games then a whole bunch of cult classics will just plain NEVER be playable on it. While I think re-releases should happen I for one don't want to have to wait around for re-releases of Tecmo Pro Wrestling and Trog that are never going to come. The option to play old carts should be there so I can play any NES, SNES or N64 game I want regardless of how obscure it is. If it's just going to be re-releases well then what's the point since the GBA is pretty much used for that already.

Ian, you're the greatest doctor ever, I thought I killed this thread. Ahh! to be guilt free.

Well I understand how a lot of games wouldn't be remade, but wouldn't somebody who found those old games have the system to play them on? Wouldn't it be correct to assume that whoever has the game, already has the system for it? I'm just in favour remakes, I guess, because no stores or anyone sell old games where I live.

Not necessarily. Many old NES's don't work anymore in which case the owner may have a big game collection but no console to play them on. Plus having only one system to hook up instead of three is pretty sweet. Finally it's just a more flexible model if you can play both re-releases and old games.

Tell me about it...I currently have 6 systems hooked up and I'm completely out of room for another...

I'll take them off your hands for ye, Bill. Send them to PO Box 647584673 Little Fungitown, WY. And use lots of bubble wrap cause I like to pop stuff.

While the whole "three systems in one" idea sounds neat, I do not think that this is what Nintendo has in mind. Iwata said that this would be his "trumpth card", so I don't see how that would fit in. I think it will be something like Sony's Eye Toy.

odifiend · « **Reply #59 on:** January 12, 2004, 03:47:57 PM »

Much as I wasn't impressed with the eyetoy, RPG Freak just got me thinking... the gyration patents for better motion sensing. Miyamoto's comment about the gamer actually pulling a lever instead of pressing a button. Still I can't think how it could be a third pillar or a trump card for that matter. But no doubt Nintendo will do it better than Sony if that's the case.

Hm... a staff controlloer that can be used for various games? In Starwars it's a lightsaber, in Zelda it's the lever or sword, in another game it's the lightgun... Sounds fun. Though not new, some former NES devs made a system designed to play sports games with such devices (though each game has its own controller).

I don't have anything to add, except, I can't wait for E3, and curse you all for putting these fanciful ideas into my head.

Mario 128 pics?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #64 on:** January 21, 2004, 02:13:01 AM »

Woah...Errr...I honestly don't know what to say anymore...That could easily be done in a 3d graphics program...But there's that gnawing hope inside me that squeaks with delight at the thought of a 3d-eque Super Mario World...*sigh*

KDR_11k · « **Reply #65 on:** January 21, 2004, 05:01:20 AM »

Mario: That looks so bad it's obviously fake.

Mario · « **Reply #66 on:** January 21, 2004, 05:28:52 AM »

It could be a Nintendo DS game? But yeah, those pictures just scream fake, as soon as i saw them i thought that, but still, there they are, fake or not.

What does the wise-old *Babelfish* say about that page?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #68 on:** January 21, 2004, 12:27:49 PM »

Well the page basically says that the game will be arriving later this year in a 2.5D style...

It's called scrolling.

But I'll let you in on the secret anyway. Mario posted this link with some fake looking "screens." However, I'm secretly hoping that they make a 2D Mario.

Wait a minute! Doesnt mario related material go in the Mario Universe section?
