Man you just don't get it do you? Let me break it down for you. First of all it's not about harping about anything as you put it. Here's the difference. Nintendo as a game company/corp. Is still under the belief that is the dominant leader in the video game market/industry. So they believe that 3rd parties should just jump for them. Sony from what I can tell hasn't being throwing that concept in 3rd parties faces. They've just been getting them to sign exclusive contracts. Like Rockstar for example with Grand Theft Auto.(Somehow they found a loop hole and made GTA for the X-Box). They also help Market the games from 3rd parties just as much or nearly as much as they're own games. MS has a similar, but different relationship with 3rd parties. They try to buy them as well as give the same treatment as Sony; and their seems too be no issue when it comes to content as well. Unlike with Nintendo.  Not saying that those type of games should be made, but if we have a game rating system what's the problem with it. Nintendo. Well they are now starting to do this.. But before it seemed like they want to have their 1st-2nd party games to get marketed, and push the release of 3rd party games back. Which may explain why GC versions of games end up coming out months or sometimes a year after a PS2 and X-Box version of game. Which effects the sell of the game to a degree, because some GC owners may either not care or forget about the game or worse just go ahead and buy a PS2 or X-Box to get that version of game.

You know, I would of thought by now people would of gotten over the cel shading. Because hey, it's been well over a year now. "Shrug off games everyday based on their graphics"

What I meant by that actually was the fact that they made Link a child with big bright blue eyes instead of; say for example mid-teen age like he was; when he was on the old Captain N cartoon. I don't mind cel-shaded graphics especially when the game is based off of animated show. Like Robotech. Cel-shading should apply for that. Transformers which was only the PS2 should've been Cel-shaded in my opinion to look more like the actual show. But back to this 3rd party issue. I can only hope Nintendo is actually trying to appeal to the 3rd parties, because getting them to develope games for another portable platform is really no big leap when you think about it. I mean they know the average gamer will buy it. I mean the GBA alone out sold the major consoles. Nintendo has to really wake-up and realize that this not the NES-SNES era, and they are not the big man on campus. Because today when people think VIDEO GAMES. Playstation is the first thing that comes to mind. Not Nintendo. Nintendo has to stop this "You should develope games for us because we're Nintendo" attitude.  I mean C'mon doesn't anybody here agree that all consoles should have a version of a game. You have shell out an extra $100-200. For example Blood-Rayne was on all the home consoles. Now the sequel is on the the PS2 and X-Box only. You can't tell you guys/gals agree with that. Forget about sells crap. It doesn't cost that much to port that game; If you don't want to take the time to develope it for one platform over the other. They make the money back for the cost of porting the game.

You have to admit though it's disappointing to GC owners. I mean 3rd parties are either neglecting or barely supporting GC. GC owners should have the same games as PS2 or X-Box owners,  and not have to go out and buy either one or the other just to play a certain game or a few certaing games. C'mon. You can't tell me you're satisfied with Mario Party/Sunshine, Zelda(disney look) remakes/so-called sequels. You can't all say you bought a GC just for another batch of Mario and Link games.  At least I didn't. Hell after Mario 64 and Tennis; I've had enough. I bought a GC, because it was Nintendo's next generation console, and I couldn't wait for the upgrades of games coming from 3rd parties.; Mainly because they usually have the best version of their games on a Nintendo console. Plus I didn't need another DVD player/game system. I wanted game system. That's Nintendo made. I hope that's what they do again. If not. Hey; I'll still buy it. Maybe.

What Nintendo needs to do is try to speeds things up, and be the first game company to release their console first., but if anyone knows Nintendo history with releasing consoles knows it won't happen.
