Nintendo is digging their own grave I swear! I have no more respect for Nintendo which is sad because they are the ones who introduced me to videogames.Rob wrote:Which should make them foreign to most 3rd parties.Dylan1CC wrote:But Miyamoto says that's 'OK' because the Revolution kits are 'very similar' to the GC kits.
Who cares? The PS2 dev kits were a "nightmare" for 3rd parties too but they got around it after awhile. It'll be no different with the Rev development kits/libraries too I am sure. Nintendo just needs to stop pretending to be the "belle of the ball" and treat their third parties more like associates, which i read they have improved on but still need more work.Rob wrote:Which should make them foreign to most 3rd parties.Dylan1CC wrote:But Miyamoto says that's 'OK' because the Revolution kits are 'very similar' to the GC kits.
The Cartridge format only made it easier for a working N64 Emulator to emerge in early 1999. Nevermind the regeion free nature of the N64 arcitechture (all physical lockout. . .no software involved).dave4shmups wrote:Nintendo went with the cartridge format for the N64 because of piracy issues; and I don't blame them.
After all, they talor to the kiddies. You don't want them to cry over a broken CD now do you?Ganelon wrote:Didn't Nintendo feel carts were the safer format since discs could be broken easily?

Sorry to say Specci, but you are most certainly wrong on both you're assumption and you're observation. IMHO of course.Specineff wrote:I don't think the N64 would have looked better even if using discs. Pixels and all, Vagrant Story and MGS look better than Zelda and Mario 64.

It was a joke, like backwards compatibility for the Xbox.Who cares? The PS2 dev kits were a "nightmare" for 3rd parties too but they got around it after awhile. ...
I was referring to the forum in general, not necessarily this topic. You complained about Nintendo fanboys and I was just pointing out that what you said was a bit out of line since I feel there aren't many Nintendo fanboys here. You complained about people getting their heads chopped off by Nintendo fanboys, but I was explaining that it's not only the Nintendo fanboys doing the chopping here. I was just pointing out the flaws in your logic. I wouldn't call that complaining. However, I do agree that the PSX totally rocks. Twinbee Deluxe Pack, SoTN, Gradius Gaiden, R-Types, Xevious 3D + G, Ape Escape, Crash, and many others rock!UnscathedFlyingObject wrote:This thread is full of sarcasm and insults. I'm offended. The Playstation is superb powered and destroys the competition of its time. Nothing is more viewtiful than SoTN and Gradius Gaiden.
UFO was probably making fun of my post, despite the fact that I was talking about the board in general.Ganelon wrote:You are kidding, right?

I once told myself that once Nintendo stopped making consoles and dropped out of the business, that I would give up videogame forever.PaCrappa wrote:What?! You have got to be kidding me. This is far worse than I ever could have expected. Gamecube sales are down?! Seriously bad news.
Look for Nintendo to file for bankruptcy as soon as tomorrow. No way can they come back from this crushing death-blow.

While Nintendo did make some good games during 8/16 bit eras, after the N64 debuted, I began to lose faith in them.PaCrappa wrote:Finally. Someone who understands. Nintendo never did anything worthwhile with hardware or software after Earthbound. Worst company ever.

It may not be getting all the EA games on other systems, but the GCN still gets plenty of EA games. Some of the recent ones have content exclusive to GCN too. However, some EA games are badly ported, though many of them are good ports. The GCN ones are missing online, though. I admit that I actually like some EA games like NBA Street.neorichieb1971 wrote: it has only a few EA games.
