Mario Kart DD was great but F Zero sucked.
To prove how subjective that is, I really liked F-Zero GX but wasn't even interested in Mario Kart DD...and a long time ago I used to play Mario Kart 64 nearly every day.
ISS was an awful game compared to the world's greatest PES series.
Uh...what? Is there a reason why I should know what these acronyms stand for?
The Cube in my eyes was a flop, releasing boring childish games. I suppose I prefer games of a more mature nature, which Nintendo will never be able to cater for.
The Gamecube released boring childish games? I didn't know consoles could even
develop games on their own. Wow, and here I thought the reason why the Gamecube had so many cutesy games was because developers knew that the parents of young players were more likely to buy a Gamecube than an Xbox or PS2, simply because Nintendo had been the top name in the business for years and because Nintendo's first-party products guaranteed high-quality games that were appropriate for all ages.
I guess you learn something new every day.
Always the same, cutsey games with cuddly characters and sickly colouful graphics. Where's the gritty games on offer...
And the Playstation and Xbox always have the same repetitive, violent games with shallow characters and boring, drab, dull graphics. See? We can both take exaggerated and generalized qualities of games and turn them into something negative! How interesting.
Besides, if you want to cuddle with Mario, you've got more problems than any of us could possibly resolve.
You're talking about Nintendo's first-party offerings as if they were "Care Bear Adventures 3."
Anyway, if you're wondering why the Gamecube lacked third-party games in general, it's because the system didn't sell as well as many had expected (developers always look at a console's sales success when deciding which ones to develop for), the developer's kit was relatively hard to work with (to tie this back to the topic at hand, I've heard the Wii is now the easiest of the three), and the smaller discs couldn't hold as much data as the PS2's and Xbox's DVDs.
In the end, these factors (and the growing myth that Nintendo systems were for children's games only), led developers to all but abandon the console. Others kept trying, but their incompetence (EA) sometimes made things worse, unleashing games with the crappiest graphics and least-stable framerates of any port (NFSU2 is an example).
...oh yes Resident Evil how bloody old is that ? It was way better on the ORIGINAL platform PSX with static backgrounds !
I'm no Resident Evil fan, but RE4 has been touted by many, many people as the best in the series and one of the very best games out there. They can't all be wrong.
Metroid Prime was a decent adult orrientated game, but was rather boring, missing the standard of it's Snes release.
That's your opinion. I could say that GTA3 (and its gazillion derivatives) was a decent adult-oriented game, but was rather tedious and missed the standard of its bird's-eye-view forebears. That would be my opinion. Neither of us would be any more right than the other.
I just feel the Wii will follow the same path as the Cube and 64 did, great times in the beggining but flopped once better machines came out.
You just described every console ever made. Everything is eclipsed by better machines sooner or later. Sorry, I fail to see your point.
Sony's PSX rulled over the 64
Debatable.
PS2 didn't even have any competition from the Cube.
Without a doubt.
Oh well I look forward to being flamed by all the Nintendo lovers out there.
Bring it on
It's hard to resist -- you're so easy to disarm.
