Nintendo Gaming / RE: My Revolution Conspiracy Theory

« on: November 18, 2005, 05:00:31 AM »

I still cant believe how many people were convinced that the Cube's price meant a weaker system... complete idiocy. No one ever thought "hey, this is a great deal."

If that happens this gen I'm going to kill Dick Cheney

good point odi; that was poor word choice on my part, and I completely forgot about a new 3d mario... jeez thinking about it now gets my pulse racing. I suppose new mario is plenty enough first party love for the launch, but people want online options, and nintendo needs to provide a solid online title at launch to prove that the WiFi connection will treat rev owners as nicely as it does DS fans.

My point is that Casuals who get their info from G4tv will see the cool controller, some wacky japanese micro games and cooking sims, and a new mario and think "hey this is cool".. as opposed to seeing a new SSB game AT LAUNCH and think "omfg i need that, SSB 64 is starting to get old"
(its odd but I know almost half a hundred people who wont play SSb:melee with us around the dorm but stay up till 3am playing the original because it has "more strategy",,, whatever their reasons are, it generally boils down to not being able to keep up with the moving stages or dodge moves)

  Anyway, Nitnendo would not be screwing us, for they'd be making a better game, but think about the opportunity cost of spending 3 to 6 months on a game that could propel the rev launch to new heights, a game that could potentially bring back all those morons who left nintendo when they saw Halo.  SSB before christmas could lock the rev in for the best christmas present around. college students aren't going to drop $500 for Ps3 setup for the dorm, nor will parents paying tuition fees ... but a $250 Rev setup (system, game) is far more plausible.

If they release SSB 2-3 weeks after the launch, they'll be in good shape. Otherwise that needs to be out on day one.

Funny how I forgot about Mario; I don't know how I'm going to spend my time when the Revolution comes.

i disagree.. of course original content is a necessity and I think that having a killer IP is essential to teh Rev's sucess, but without SSB at launch Nintendo would be screwing over many many diehard gamers. It's games like SSB that sell multiple consoles and peripherals in groups of friends.

... anyone else think about how cool it would be if they did the faceplate thing for the remotes? they'll be so easy to carry around that you could slip it in your backpack and always be ready for a game at your buddy's house... that's assuming that there are plenty of games that solely use the freehand remote

i know.. i feel bad for activision (only because we need third party online games to excel on the DS; we can't just live off of online Nintendo titles)

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Official DS Sales Thread

« on: November 15, 2005, 03:33:30 AM »

i dont think the mainstream really cares about either system; it seems like neither the DS nor PSP are really achieving the desired sales.

having said that, the DS is still kickin some butt

im still wondering if nintendo is going to offer us good revolution tidbits to counter the xbox360 launch... yea, mario kart looks unfreakinbelievable, but they need to tell us some good Rev. stuff pronto, or else that 360 might really take off

im more pissed that there is no way to really choose your opponents (it randomly assigns which friends you'll race against)
that might annoy me,, but i dont have many friends to begin with [and even fewer DS owning friends] so i might keep my friends list limited and just enjoy random competition.,,, that is, when i get my DS back from nintendo and set up a wifi network.,, why cant the USB thing work for mac, damnit?

"eff this game, i can barely cook in real life..."
  -- me, 30 seconds ago...          see how this game could actually benefit people like me?

seriously, i just want to juggle the sausage like Game and Watch Gallery 2  (Chef, was it?)

btw, someone on here confirm for me that the junk game&watch tosses out of his pan in SSB:M is sausage... morons in my dorm think they're pancakes

put it on the virtual console; let us download it and save it to the DS's RAM or a blank GBA cart

ooh that might not be a good idea

...yea, but my uncle ken told me that we'll be playing systems that look more realistic than real life! you wont need to go outside because the PS4 will have 7 CELL processors emulating the real world in your game room. Every thread of carpet will have it's own physics engine!

i want a flight sim to come out sooo badly.. i've been playing with my cellphone pretending that I'm controlling the airplane and imagining that throttle is controlled by the left analogue stick... that would give me a reason to buy a Revolution for my dad.

ooh how can 3rd parties ignore the DS? I know that not enough games have implimented the dual screen functionality to really make it worthwhile (save for Advanced Wars; the dual screens are a blessing  in that one... mario kart will be nice too) .. but sparkling innovation or no, this is an impressive handheld and the first party titles just keep looking better
