Topic: Suggestions on what Nintendo should do to become #1 next generation

[LAZ]

Hey I'm new here but I've been reading alot about nintendo's next system.

There are some issues with the timing but I'm going to dispell some of the other systems hype right away.

To tell you the truth I don't believe the next set of games are going to be about graphics only but thats another thread... if nintendo realizes this then they may figure out they had a HL2 all along...

There is going to be something of a maturing peroid for some of these systems. The key to being on top is the race to understanding what the new system is going to be capable of as soon as possible( in real games)..
PS2 is going to use Cell processors and lots of them meaning that programmers will have to adjust to see the true power of the PS3... weakness number one... Remember how long it took to see a really good games on the PS2?

Nintendo needs to bring the GBA and the GC alittle closer software wise to win or capitalize on it's strenghts.

IF nintendo makes there stuff backwards compatible then guess what they are going to make the best games that year since they already know how to program the GC and they know what a good game is. With advances in chip manufacturing and current est of die shrinking (0.09mm) the next GB can be a gamecube on a chip almost. If they can figure out how to pull that off then guess what GC chips will be in both next generation system( next GB and next GC) which means more developers because every one makes a game for the GB period. Then they could use panisonic to make a portable drive reader for it... then guess what you will have a GBNext player already built into every gamecube2. But this does not mean that nintendo can not use larger disk for the new system because if it uses bigger disk then smaller disk will always fit in a top loaded system.

PCIexpress is going to be in the next X box so ati is sure to use it in the game cube if the rumours of ATI and MS are true. ATI has already started work on the R420 which is PCIexpress compatible only. Which means Nintendo and Xbox may have simular technology if the NEC news isn't true. There is also the rumour that NEC is going to power the next GC or what ever they wish to call it. I sort of hope this is not the case because nintendo needs to have a chip which is going to be compatible with the current market. Unless they do a PS2 and make the flipper a I/O chip like the PS1 chip is in the PS2. That would raise the price of the system though.Which is not nintendo's way. Maybe so? but surly not if the die stays the same size.

sure we as Nintendo fans dont really want dvd support on our next console...but the casual dumbass will. So i say put it in to shut people up, or make it xboxl iek where they pay 20 dollars for a remote and attachment and it plays the dvds(that way you dont get charged for it). The way i see it having dvd makes the next console more popular as opposed to not having dvd makign it the blacksheep. If mroe people buy gamecube then more devlopers will look towards Ninty meaning we'll have more great games.

what im hoping Nintendo does in terms of media is allows it so that it can play old gcn games(hehe old games..some of them havnt came out yet hehehehehe) as well as gcn2 games(same physical size as gcn disks only 20gb) and DVDs...Nintendo will have to come up with a way that allows it to have firm ware and at the same time prevent piracy. Maybe a boot disk that has drivers for a dvd card that alters firmware but is specifically designed in a way that it isonly programmable to be reprogramemd to play dvds. Then again xbox be damned..its sad. Iv nexcr seen a system more cracked.. i mean hackers raped xbox.
