Nintendo Revolution...

It was quicker than typing "The Revolution will be backards compatible with the GCN and will be capable of playing games from almost every other Nintendo home console previous." It's already been said several times in this thread that those games would be played via download, and my need to reiterate said statement would have been redundant. You knew what I meant, you're just being a picky nerd. Simmer down, Robocop.

The problem with the Revolution is that they are going to have to price it around 100 dollars to compete with the other two, (The Xbox is 299 and the ps3 is rumored at 399 I believe.)

That's supposed to be a bad thing? If they launch the Rev at $100 a pop, I'll buy two. You're bragging about paying over $400 for a console? You're a fucking moron!

Agreed.

That price is why people wait to purchase consoles.

I woudn't be backing a system with no released information yet, all it has is a new case and a new name, no specs, no game lineups, company notes, expected price, nothing. The PS3 is rumored to have a DVD burner built in. If the system comes out at 400, no I will not get one right away, i'll wait for it to drop around 250.

I'm not anti-nintendo at all, they used to be the fucking shit, they and sega paved the way for all gaming systems. I just feel that their games have dropped off alot as they've stayed with the kiddie-type games (all 15 of the Mario Party games, whatever, theres nothing even to really highlight.) I think they should do like sega did and just make good games for everyone else.

And no, I said if they even want to sell any systems they are going to have to release it at 99, which they won't, they can't afford it. $150-$200 will be their release price. Bragging about buying two systems (especially the REVOLUTION would make you a moron. OMG I CAN PLAY MARIO PARTY 23 ON TWO TEEVEES.

Looks like you've gotta pay to play Mario Land 2. Owned. No free downloads for you, unless you just wanna play for 15 minutes.

Ever heard of a little thing called an emulator??

Or a pc??

Or a download-the-emulator-and-the-game-and-play-on-the-pc??

Why do you think that Nintendo releases so many 'kiddie' games? Games aren't entirely aimed at people from ages 15-25. Mario games are a staple of Nintendo, and many of them have so much free time and they drool when they see a commercial for the new Mario Party or a Spongebob Squarepants game. PS2 doesn't really have a staple character, nor does XBOX. One of the best games on Gamecube, no matter what age you are, is Mario Kart: Double Dash. I could play that for hours on end with people day after day. Quit being such a fucking prick, and thinking that Nintendo is just 'kiddie'.

I do not know about the rest of you guys but to tell you the truth i enjoy playing some of the "kiddie" games. Just because a game doesnt have you shooting someone or some typed of blood and gore doesnt mean that it is not fun to be playin. I mean i love to play Super Smash Brothers Melee and there is no blood at all in it.

There is nothing wrong with the 'kiddy-type' games at all. It's just when people glorify them out of fuckign proportion it's a bit too much to handle. I mean seriously, Zelda better pull gamecube out of the fucking rut that it is in right now or they're screwed.

And no flaming Raziel, this isn't the place for it, you need to have a temp-ban for the 15 times you've flamed me in the Gen Gaming forum.

Zelda better pull gamecube out of the fucking rut that it is in right now or they're screwed.

Rut? Nintendo is the most successful software publisher in thw world. They turn a constant profit every year (except for 2003, in which they reported their only yearly loss in history), whereas Microsoft has lost a few billion dollars in their videogame sector in just this generation. Nintendo makes a continuous profit on hardware sales, even priced at $100, while Sony and Microsoft lose several hundred on every console they manufacture. On top of that, Nintendo is in ownership of the most successful series of gaming hardware ever produced (that being the Gameboy), as well as having no debts and several-billion dollars worth of free assets. How is that a rut? Nintendo is doing spectacularly, regardless of the fact that their global installed userbase is a fraction of Sony's. Not to mention the fact that Microsoft is slowly stealing chunks of Sony's userbase, and has more money than God with which to overcome them. Nintendo is doing exactly what they need to be. They don't have the resources to compete directly with Sony or Microsoft, so they let the big dogs tear each other apart while they attack new markets and steal untapped profits away from the other two. Nintendo is is no sort of "rut."

And I haven't been flaming you. If I typed up a post that consisted entirely of attacking you and calling you names, that would be one thing. However, my posts have been intelligent deconstructions of your idiotic statements, with a little bit of name-calling thrown in. There's a difference between flaming and arguing. I've been doing the latter in a very brusque manner. Don't like it? Eat a bag of dicks. Nobody fucking cares what you have to complain about.

They don't have the resources? They've only been the leading gaming console for 18 years they shouldn't have any issues with resources. The new markets? What children being born? I mean it's relatively easy to pop out two more pokemon games every year, and another mario party, and I guess you'd be set, gotta love Parents/christmas time, Nintendo's biggest earning period.

even priced at $100, while Sony and Microsoft lose several hundred on every console they manufacture

Wow that's a load of shit, if you could please find me some charts / statistics (not from www.nintendo.com) showing their global earning of the past few years, please share with the community, because that sounds alot like a load of horse shit. DO you even have any idea how much it costs to slap together a PS2 / Xbox? I'm guessing around 50-70 dollars, and since they are so dominant and have uber resources, they lose no money, please give me some facts bitch, and quit posting all of this lying ass bullshit. Calling me an ignorant fuck.

People only listen to you because you try to the point if somebody doesn't giggle or golfclap at it they'd feel bad for you. If anyone is the fanboy, Raziel, it'd be you. No go save your pennies for a new version of Mario Party and a Gamecube in a bigger case.

I hate that game. I thought it was terrible, stupid Gamestop, I returned it the next day and I only got like 20 bucks back. I'd rather just play Mario Kart64.

I woudn't be backing a system with no released information yet, all it has is a new case and a new name, no specs, no game lineups, company notes, expected price, nothing. The PS3 is rumored to have a DVD burner built in. If the system comes out at 400, no I will not get one right away, i'll wait for it to drop around 250.

Yet you have no problems attacking a console with no released information. You are such a fucking moron.

I'm not anti-nintendo at all

You have got to be kidding me.

I just feel that their games have dropped off alot as they've stayed with the kiddie-type games (all 15 of the Mario Party games, whatever, theres nothing even to really highlight.) I think they should do like sega did and just make good games for everyone else.

Wait, wait, wait. You think that Nintendo's problem is that their games are too child-oriented, yet you think it would be in their best interests to stop making consoles and just focus entirely on the games? The games you hate because they're too child-oriented? You are such a fucking moron.

And no, I said if they even want to sell any systems they are going to have to release it at 99, which they won't, they can't afford it.

Can't afford it? Are you aware that Nintendo sits on about 8 billion dollars of liquid capital, half as much in investments and stock, and they have absolutely no debt to worry about? They could afford to buy out Capcom, Konami and Sega without it even making a dent. They were able to afford setting the GCN at $100, and they're still making a profit on hardware sales. You are such a fucking moron.

$150-$200 will be their release price. Bragging about buying two systems (especially the REVOLUTION would make you a moron. OMG I CAN PLAY MARIO PARTY 23 ON TWO TEEVEES.

I'd buy one for travel and one for home use. On top of that, since they'll most likely be LAN capable, it'll make it easier to gather multiple Rev's for multiplayer purposes. You are such a fucking moron.

Yeah, that sounds like a totally unbiased response to me. Not a Nintendo-hater, huh?

Looks like you've gotta pay to play Mario Land 2. Owned. No free downloads for you, unless you just wanna play for 15 minutes.

I never said they'd be free. I was hoping they'd be, but since the official word is that they're not, I'm not disappointed in the slightest. You have to pay to buy games, you have to pay to rent games, you have to pay to play arcade titles. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume you'd have to pay to play Nintendo's downloads. I'd imagine the cost will be negligible, no more than a buck or two per game. I fail to see how that's "owned".

I'd like to reiterate one final time that you're a fucking moron. You get your ass handed to you, by me, every single time you choose to engage in these scuffles. It honestly makes me laugh to see the way your brain contorts logic and common sense in it's vain attempt to overpower mine. There's no reason for you to even respond, because all it will consist of are limp-wristed attempts to one-up me, and not a single thing you post will succeed. You lose, you always have lost, you always will lose. Just accept it and find someplace else to troll.

Moron.
