No, it's not a joke.
I can't help it if you have no taste Kid Ice. Killer 7 was a brilliant, distinctly stylish story wrapped around a rail shooter. You might as well hate on Panzer Dragoon. Custom Robo has a lot going for it with how mechs you can customize your mechs for some fun varied play. Simple game-play? Check. Pretty easy? Check. But can't you say that of a lot of games these days? To write it off as "suck" is harsh.
Who cares if Ikaruga is about to make it to XBLA, it's not out now and the only place you can play it stateside is on the Cube. Should we not care about Virtual Fighter 5 on the PS3 since it's going to be on the Xbox this summer?
Remakes and sequels are going to be found on every single console.
Stack up game to game and there's no discussion. Actually, I'd be open for a discussion of both libraries if there weren't already such close-minded "discussion" in front of my post. I'm no fan of the N64 but I'm not making posts about it.
Frankly that's insane. Jungle Beat is a gimmick on so far as Majora's Mask is. You talk about marginal games. Take away Zelda and Mario and what is the 64 left with? I'll give you Starfox. I might even give you Goldeneye. What's left? A bunch of identical Rare platformers? There are some solid games on the 64 for sure. But let's get real. The Cube stretched itself in some awesome directions. Even if you didn't like Odama, Jungle Beat, and Pac-Man Vs. you have to respect them for the effort.We already know SM64 is superior to Sunshine, but let's say those two cancel each other out. What are you left with now? After you get rid of all the remakes, the marginal games, games that are on other consoles (like the Dreamcast for goodness sakes), gimmick games like Pac Man Vs, Jungle Beat and that other stupid bongo game, and regurgitation of N64 games, what does that leave you with?
