Nintendo Gaming / RE: Did lack of on-line support contribute to GameCube's lack of popularity?

Its debatable nonetheless. I mean PS2 had the same online structure as GC, game to game, but for some reason 3rd party devs took advantage of Ps2's feature but not GC.

Maybe because the ps2 was way more popular than the GC?

That's a pretty original comparison. But a ride isn't sold in stores.

Point well taken. Though I think selling the Wii might be a bigger challenge than selling it's games.

I have to say my anticipation for Red Steel and Rayman is going nowhere but up with each set of screens Ubisoft releases.

Eh, I don't know. I guess my Rayman hype has been going up as well (kind of tired of Red Stell.) You'll notice, though, that we still only have a handful of Rayman screens, and they've been accompinied by that 'bunnies can't dance' campaign, so what they're doing isn't too different from what Nintendo is doing.

I remember before the N64 came out, Nintendo released over 100 screenshots of Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64.

And look how well that worked out for them.

From a fan perspective the lack of screens and info is aggravating. But from a marketing perspective, what Nintendo is doing is brilliant, at least imho.

edit: I think a good thing to look at would be how Disney markets it's rides. Since rides are something you really just need to exerpience, Disney can't just snap 100s of photos from inside the rides and publish them. So,when it comes time to promote a ride, they give out a handful of carefully constructed representational photographs/concept art which generally puts a heavy emphasis on the riders rather than the ride itself. Just like what Nintendo is doing.

I'm with you on the weather, easycure. Cold weather > warm weather

Oh, also, college > high school

No idea about the real world.

Just make sure you do what you want to do Garnee! I hate when people tell me I need a back up plan if it doesn't work out, so I need to take classes anyway. Its working out great, and when I do wind up destroying my body trying to imitate Voldo for a movie, that will be ok by me!

well...don't listen to people when they say you can't follow your dreams. College is important, though. To the people who have already dropped out, that's cool, I'm a 'do whatever the hell you want' kind of person. But if you're considering college...Well, I'll quote my grandfather, an incredibly smart guy who works behind the counter at a fast food type of place "Go to college, so you can be one ordering the food, and not serving it."

Yeah, if you're socially capable, you don't need education. You can make a ton of money in sales.

Even so, understanding stuff is important and stuff.

...Although, noted science fiction author Orson Scott Card thinks a college education is unnecessary when you can just read lots of books. Coincidently, he also thinks universities are overrun with crazy liberals.

Okay. I think I'm done.

Um, wow, thanks guys. This sucks, but it looks like I'm at least being allowed to continue posting under this account, so it's not all bad.

SUPER, I'm not sure what you want me to do. You want me to say sorry? I'm sorry. Can I have my account back now?

Ugg, still banned. Oh well.

Leipzig! I am excited. And tired.

edit: prediction: if the price is $170 or less, I expect they will announce "under $200" tonight. If it isn't, I don't think they will announce anything about price.

This thread is as useless as a spork.

The real question is, how can that crafty wandering keep posting even though he's been banned? And the answer is: sparkling innovation accounts! Yay!

Ha! I've flipped the order of the funhouse posts and, in the process, told an engrossing story that I totally didn't steal from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Not rain nor snow nor sleet nor bans from angry moderators could stand in my way. Thank you, thank you... I have so many people I want to thank. Most of them being myself. Cause I have multiple personality disorder. I hope that, by winning this award that I'm giving to myself, I'll help raise awareness of this ilness which will hopefully lead the way to a cure. I'd like to talk more about that, but, sorry bout this, I'm afraid I have to run.
