QuoteSure there is. In Japan, Symphonia sold as many copies on the PS2 in one week as it sold on the GameCube up until that point. How long a lead did the GameCube version have--at least six months, right?
there is just no reason to not release it on both PS2 and Gamecube.
QuoteActually, Word Recognizes Playstion, but you have to spell it correctly--it's PlayStation. However, it doesn't recognize GameCube.
On a side note, I write my forum responses in Word for the spellchecker, did you know MS Word spellchecker recognizes and capitalizes Xbox but not Gamecube or Playstation?
QuoteI can't--I'm only halfway through Pikmin 2 and Half-life 2. I haven't even started Resident Evil 4 or Minish Cap. Maybe tomorrow.
Make that someday today.
QuoteUpon reading the article, it doesn't seem likely. They called 3 different sources and everyone's response was pretty much "we haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about".
German website N-DS is reporting that a representative from LucasArts recently told a UK journalist from NGC magazine that the developer was experimenting with a version of Monkey Island 3 on DS. If that went well, other titles from LucasArts' back catalogue could be heading to the handheld.

As the 16-bit war progressed, Genesis quickly became the system of choice for teenage males. The Genesis was cool, while the Super NES (with its soft chunky greys and violets) was regarded as a "kid_die system." It was an image bolstered largely by Sega's new mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, whose slick blue moves made Mario seem dumpy and childish by comparison. … Nintendo had a hammerlock on the surreal, candy-like, linear RPG-loving tastes of Japanese gamers, but the sleek black Genesis console and its no-nonsense approach to the art of video gaming appealed to the western teens who had grown up with the NES. It's become a cliche, but Nintendo refused to "grow up" with its gamers….

[Sonic The Hedgehog] helped Sega claim victory in the 16-bit console war.

EA Securing NAACP Exclusivity?
First it was the NFL. Then came ESPN. And now, it appears Electronic Arts is very close to securing another license: the NAACP. Sources tell us that the publishing powerhouse will soon announce an exclusivity deal with the NAACP, enabling only EA to make video games using African-Americans (thus shutting another sports door (excluding hockey) in the face of rival 2K Games).
Reps from EA won't confirm or deny the rumor (or whether this will include mulattos), but expect plenty more info in the weeks to come.
QuoteWith the right marketing, you can make even the most inferior product seem like it was crafted by the almighty hands of God Himself. ::cough PlayStaion 2 cough::
But the marketing doesn't do anything if the system itself is hampered by a significant weakness.
QuoteI disagree. While the system itself is important, I think the marketing of the system will have a greater influence on potential buyers. I think everyone on this board will agree that the GameCube is a great console. Some aren't happy with its current game lineup, controller setup, etc, but most agree that it's a very capable console with some amazing games. That said, most of us also agree that Nintendo's marketing sucks and it is largely to blame for the console not doing as well as we all would like it to.
Whether the Revolution succeeds or fails has largely been decided by Nintendo's actions before the system has even been revealed. If they screwed up already it's too late. Scary, huh?
QuoteThe possibility of Super Castlevania Kart got me really excited for a second. Then a realised Konami wouldn't release it on the Cube anyway. So what's the point?
It's Super Castlevania Kart
QuoteI believe Ian was referring to Hunters, which doesn't control like the console MP's. However, I don't think it's fair to judge a game based on a ten-minute demo that was more of a technical showcase than anything else.
Except for the fact that that MP is NOT generic. Hell, people complained that it wasn't generic
QuoteGamesarefun.com was nice enough to put together a list of confirmed US DS and PSP launch titles. You can find it here.
Psp: I sport over 25 launch titles
Ds: I have like 10 titles over a 3 month period But you need to buy me cuz i have Mario 64 woot woot
QuoteI almost have to agree here. Ian's been a great forumer (is that a word) but he's been really down on on Nintendo lately. It makes me wonder if he's a Sony/MS fanboy who has been hanging around for years so we would drop our guard and he could blindside us with "Nintendo is going down the drain". Enjoy the games, forget about the business.
Ian you really need to tone down your optimism pal</sarcasm>
I mean seriously, everyday you come in and start talking gloom and doom for nintendo.
