Nintendo Gaming / RE:Nintendo is sitting on a rpg goldmine/power house

« on: April 24, 2004, 06:29:38 PM »

Could someone tell me exactly what faxxanadu is?  I searched on yahoo and couldn't find any matches for it.  I'm just a little curious and was just wondering if Nintendo actually made the game themselves.

Edit: Well since I now know their is only one x in the name, I found a fansite for the game.  The game was made by Falcolm and published by Hudson Soft it seems (I'm not exactly sure), so Nintendo cannot dig it up from the videogame graveyard themselves.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Silicon Knights and Nintendo break up

Yes sir master Zeks.  It's not that Nintendo is doomed only because they lost Silicon Knights, it's just that the sh!t has hit the fan because of that.  All of their bad business decisions/philosophies all add up, and it has finally pushed a lot of the hardcore Nintendo fans over the edge, including me.  The only thing that is going to save them is if they make some major changes or buy up some awesome developers.

I completely understand you with the 1st party Nintendo games this generation.  There was something lacking in both Mario Sunshine and Zelda.  I put down Sunshine halfway through and haven't picked it up since.  I did beat Zelda, but it didn't measure up to Ocarina or Link to the Past.  I don't understand what has happened to Nintendo.  They used to have the best graphics, best play mechanics(still good), most innovative ideas, and overall the best games.  I hate to say it but they are second rate now.  I just wonder if something has occurred internally at NCL--maybe they have lost a lot of their staff???

THis news of SK leaving has put me over the edge.  Bad Marketing, less-than-spectacular games, terrible gaming philosophies, losing third parties, losing second parties--it all adds up.  Nintendo isn't doing something right.  They need to figure it out fast, and more importantly they need to pull something magnicificent out of their hat come E3, and something even greater for E3 2005 (New console).  If not, the GCNext might be the first Nintendo console I will not buy (Other than Virtual Boy).

Nintendo Gaming / RE: new speculation on DS i found at egm

I don't know if it would be technically possible, but what if the DS is intended to be a dual screened system, with the option(for certain games) to plug in VR glasses.  Then the Nintendo DS would truly have Dual uses.  It's probably not going to happen, but still with dual processors, the possibility is there (maybe?).
