why would we want Sony?  They have had nothing in their existence except market timing and name.  Certainly no value that could be purchased.

Now that HD-DVD is the loser you think Nintendo will contract Toshiba to provide HD-DVD drives for the next-generation Nintendo box?

If everyone's stuck with Blah-Ray a couple years from now, wouldn't HD-DVD be less convenient to pirate?

You know what is even harder to pirate? Cartridges

[BranDonk Kong]

To an extent - that's true. But people have always taken advantage of the serial port that Nintendo used to have in all their systems, to allow people to play games off of a CD-ROM or Zip drive and whatnot.

Edit - also, take a look at the DS and GBA. They're cartridge based systems, and are only second to the Dreamcast when it comes to "ease of piracy".

Hah, zip drives. Talk about using one extinct technology to pirate another extinct technology

Combating piracy is just a waste of time and money. No system is fool proof.

The PSP says otherwise. Look at games like Wipeout Pure, which sold dismally and there are torrents to download it that have been accessed significantly more (like one torrent 6 times more) than actual sales.

Yes, only a small percentage of those torrent downloads would likely buy the game, but it can no longer be argued that piracy is something that companies should ignore due to lack of real finical downturn. The PSP is a living testament to how much impact piracy can have in the industry.

Rising fuel prices make $50 games seem less expensive.

Don't tell anyone those kind of secrets, prices raise.

Remember way back when the dollar was a bit stronger, and retailers charged $80 for SUPER FREAKING NINTENDO GAMES?

Yes I don't want to pay that anymore, all though I don't think the value of the dollar had anything to do with that.  I think they were just being dicks.

Well something changed between now and then, cuz I can't buy a can of soda for 50-cents at a machine anymore.

Ya those guys as Pepsi get paid quite a lot.  But 80% of us are still happy.

[ThePerm]

yeah on campus is 60 cents to buy a soda, i often have 50 cents, but not 60. I try to put in a dollar, but they want exact change. Looks like the soda machines not getting enough buyers to have exact change. You would think withe everyone having to put in that extra 10 cents there would be plenty of dimes in there.

It's a $1.90 here for a 20oz Mountain Dew. How ridiculous is that? In jackpot it was $1.19 and there was no sales tax. I wanna move back to NV.

A ZELDA SPIN-OFF PINBALL GAME THAT YOU PLAY WITH THE BALANCE BOARD.

sadly this game has the most potential out of all to actually get made.

and i hate kid Icarus i don't know why its such a loved game.  its hard and stupid.

Kid Icarus is the perfect franchise to get revived. Nintendo can try something completely new, with the obvious flying mechanics that the wii has been asking since it was created, and it can have a franchise name to get behind it. The first game was average, but it has enough cult status to let the new game get hype, something that I'm sure is the reason behind Nintendo's stuborn and stupid reluctancy to create new IPs without "training" or "play" in the title.

In short words, it would be a more of a new franchise than an old one, and I doubt it would have anything to do with the first kid Icarus gameplay-wise. There's not a lot to mantain anyway. Any game with a flying angel would pass as a 3D Kid Icarus, the franchise is no Metroid.
