The demise of Nintendo is almost upon us!

[rbudrick]

Shit, I thought somebody was posting some kind of new news article. Don't piss me off by making me jump like that!

Damn it why do I even respond to Phoenixs' threds. Youd think I'd learn by now.

I agree with a lot of the posts so far. The bottom line is that Nintendo has had a solid reputation through the years with coming up with some innovative things. You also must remember that Nintendo, like any other corporation, is out to make money. Anyone who says differently is fooling themselves. Personally I liked the fact that the Nintendo 64 is cartridge based. I've purchased used games before from the usual places (Game Stop, EB Games) and the disc based ones usually look like someone wiped their ass with them. At least with a cartridge I usually don't have to worry about severe issues like that. My only gripe is taking the top label off their cartridges. Makes it MUCH harder to store the things and know what the hell you've got! I've put my two cents in...I'm done.

Oh....btw...don't feed the fanboys!

Yes, a company more than a century old, which has the best-selling portable devices on the market, the most anticipated game of 2005, and a promise of a revolutionary new console is going to go under. Sure, whatever. At least Sega showed signs of leaving the console market.

You've been here for a long time man, haven't you noticed YET that people do not like topics like this. All you're doing is drawing in the flames.

And this topic has been discussed 5 MILLION times before, use the search function and bump an old one if you feel the need to get "fanboy" on us.

I opt for this topic to be locked.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!

Ok, enlighten me as to what the most anticipated game of 2005 is.

Are you practicing "The Art of Trolling" again by any chance?

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLL

The Legend of Zelda? Maybe?? I know it is for me.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

No, this isn't any sort of a troll. It is a continuation of my other thread, but I decided to cut the other one down as this was more specifically directed at Nintendo and to make it a little easier to read.


I would imagine Zelda is probably the most anticipated game of 2005...

Show us your stock analyst credentials or shut the fuck up. You know nothing.

Yeah, for me, the most anticipated game of 05 is already out. Doom 3 xbox. GTA PSP is a close 2nd, and soon to come.
Admittedly, I'm barely on top of this year's releases, because I was so concentrated on building a retrocollection in 2004. (tripled to quadrupled it in a year. ) I may have to get back into the loop soon...but fortunately for me, theres plenty of cheap used current generation crap to buy

[Avatard]

Wow, you must be really dissapointed this year.

[ubersaurus]

The only way forward for Nintendo now is to come up with something aimed more at adults. Kids are quite content playing games which don't look too good, but at the end of the day, it's the older generation they should be looking towards seeing as they are the ones who will be buying these products.

Dude, Nintendo could have a lineup of Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, and fucking MANHUNT, and people would still claim they're "kiddy".

I've met many college students and women who love their current lineup, and I don't know too many adults who give a shit if has Mario jumping around or the Master Chief.

[Avatard]

Yea, that mantra about kiddy games gets old. Come up with something on your own.

[rpepper9]

I love "kiddie games" and I'm almost 30!

Kinda joking and all, but hey, there goes all my meseta! Huzzah!

I guess I have to type out that he's a troll and all, instead of just ditto-ing the good Kamino.

The journey for more meseta continues

[lendelin]

If Sony never released the PSP, no one would be complaining about the power of the DS as it follows the trend we were used to.

That is exactly the problem for N. Sony DID release the PSP.

This is like saying CNN would do much better and no-one would complain about it if FoxNews weren't around.

Here, I'll save everyone the trouble of reading this thread or of even responding in it.

Step 1:
Insert completely baseless and provocative speculation. The more outlandish the merrier.


Step 2:
Create overly emotional and equally provocative rebuttal. Take it personally and don't skimp on the word count!


Step 3:
Repeat steps 1 & 2 over open flames until thread reaches a frothy boil.

Step 4:
Lock thread.

Step 5:
Wait a few days and start process again.

[GarrettCRW]

Step 4:
Lock thread.

You forgot to do step 4.
