WHAT is nintendo THINKING!!?!?!
 
Honestly...Nintendo in the future is going to get swamped with the new technologies and new ways to play and will simply REFUSE to change it's way of selling its products...

Nintendo has the best nostalgic game titles on them! They have the ability for the best hardware! They have, thousands of different things they could do to boost their games!

But what does nintendo do???

They choose to send out their good games at the WORST possible times! They have their hardware with HORRIBLE looking design and they wonder why they're called a kiddy system! They do absoulty HORRIFIC advertising campaigns for their biggest games! What is wrong with them!!

If Nintendo was smart, they could easily overpower Sony and Microsoft with their titles. Nintendo has a winning lotery ticket on their hands, they're just too stupid to cash it in!. I mean, even though SOny and Micorsoft may have new games that are good and all, nintendo has one big thing that sony and microsoft do not and will not EVER have....NOSTALGIA!!!

Is there a videogame icon in the WORLD more popular than Mario? If you say yes then your just being ignorant. Is there an adventure game that has been bigger than Zelda? NO!! How many times had nintendo KILLED the competition with excellent games witht he same name over and over and over again?!? TOns of times!!

I think that ever since they surrendered their company over to Iwata-man that the company has simply dug itself a deeper and deeper hole. They choose to ignore sony and micorsoft and are convinced of their own superiorty! That's not logical!!!

HOOOARGH!!!! WHY!!??!

Nintendo needs to think if they want to stay alive in the console race...honestly...

BOO YA! NINTENDO! DO YOUR DUTY!!

Nintendo's crashing already
 
The year just starting and Nintendo cant keep up. :dead:

Gamcube only got 11 games coming out this month. Metal Gear Solid and P.S.O 2 may make the most money. And Pokemon Colloseum doesn't count cause nintendo made it. So thats ten, this is sad.

Now, GBA has five games coming out this month. You heard me, 5, 5...5. And two of them are by Hipgames? Hip who? :confused: Nintendo is just producing now-a-days. :sleeping:

John Denver March 2nd, 2004 8:43 AM

they're not THINKING! Why does nintendo have the best games but the worst leadership, it's like they don't care anymore...

it's truly sad...

Have you ever noticed that Nintendo always seems to win game of the year?
They do have the best games and they're my favorite company! They could easily blow Sony and Microsoft out of the water! If you think about it, the video game world would be a pretty sad place (although it already is a little sad hehe....) if it weren't for Nintendo. People seem to take them for granted now. I agree that Nintendo needs to keep up with the times to stay competitive, but people also need to have more faith. I say.....they make Mr. Miyamoto president! He comes up with all the ideas anyway! Hehe...

Nintendo has always been 3rd lately behind the XBOX and PS2. They do need to get their act straight. With the other two, you can play DVD's and CD's, but with the GameCube, you can't. Nintendo just doesn't seem to care. They seem too lazy. :(

fudge01 March 2nd, 2004 10:02 PM

ummmm latios master thats where your wrong u can play dvds on gamecube if you get the right equipment and nintendo is not 3rd they are actually first on the list of the best sytem so ther :P nintendo rules :P

John Denver March 3rd, 2004 1:21 PM

ummm...actually you're both wrong...as far as sells go Nintendo is second behind sony...but if you count GBA's then nintendo is by FAR in the lead...

like I said before, "Nintendo has the winning lottery ticket, they're just too stupid to cash it in!."

sad day

boo ya...

Shadow March 3rd, 2004 1:49 PM

Last time I heard, GBAs sell more then X-Box, PS2, and GC combined. That's not what I call crashing...

And who needs to see DVDs in a video game system? There is an invention called a DVD player that came out before PS2 and X-Box. And the X-Box is just a computer that uses controllers instead of keyboards. The Gamecube has most of the best video games for the newer consoles (super Smash Bros. Melee, Star Wars Rogue Leader, etc.).

Kairi March 3rd, 2004 1:50 PM

I think the GBA has put out some really good games this year. Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga is a great use of licenses, characters, and a good RPG to boot! Hm. ^_^;

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 3:07 PM

Yes, Nintendo has always been on top, and they have some excellent games already. For GBA, we have excellent games such as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Mari and Luigi Superstar Saga,Pokemon Ruby6 & Sapphire etc.Now for the GC, we have SSBM,Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Pokemon Collosseum, etc.With these great games, Nintendo has stayed on top, and will remain in that position for a very long time, if not, forever.So sorry, I have to disagree with you, Nintendo is not crashing anywhere.If anything, Nintendo is rising far above any othe rgaming system and any game company

100marios March 3rd, 2004 3:31 PM

I couldn't agree more. However, a lot of thsoe games were published my Nintendo, they didn't make it themselves. Those games rock though! They're some of my favorite games ever!
I think people were talking about how Nintendo is falling behind money and popularity wise. One thing I know is, I'll always be a huge fan of Nintendo! The only system I've ever had that wasn't Nintendo made was the Sega Genesis. I didn't even buy too many games for it though.

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 3:35 PM

Well, I never have had any game system that wasn't Nintendo.Nintendo will always be that classic gaming industry that will always dish out great games, and that is somthing you can always be sure of.Ever since the original Super Mario Brothers, they have always done a great job with all of their games

I remember when I was little and lived back in California, I got the NES for Christmas. I thought it was the newest thing!.......oh yeah, it was in 1994 when I got it for Christmas (my uncle gave it to us) and the actual NES came out almost a decade before. I realized I was decieved only a couple years ago hehe....

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 3:55 PM

What are you talking about man?NES had some of the best games ever, I love that system to death, I still have one, it just doesn't work to often....

Huh? What are you talking about? I meant that the SNES was already out at that time, and I was still with the NES. I still have it too! It was so cool! The duck hunt game was pretty fun hehe. I would never do that in real life though! I remember there was some game my dad loved to play. All I remember about it is that you go outside of a town, meet up witth a bad guy, and fight it. All they showed was a pic of the monster, and all the fighting was in words. I remember things like...
"Dad was stunned!" "Dad gave monster 10 damage!" "Dad defeated monster!"
It was pretty funny hehe....
There was probably more to it, but I can't remember it much.....

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 4:15 PM

I think you're talking about th original Dragon Warrior.That game was very, very cool.I loved all of the games for the NES, I have a ton of NES games.I always liked Dragon Warrior, Duck Hunt, Mario Bros, etc.

Yeah, that's what I was starting to think. It looked a lot like it that's for sure!
The Mario Bros. game was awesome too! I loved the Kirby game they had. It was the one that was remade for the gba, the "Nightmare in Dreamland" one. That was one of the best games I've ever played.

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 4:22 PM

You know, if it weren't for the NES system, the video gaming industry probably wouldn't be going as far as they are right now....Kinda weird whan ya think about it for a few minutes

Yeah. Imagine how the video game industry might be if Nintendo didn't even exist! There might not be one at all! But if it did, I know what the games will be about.....killing! And I'm not interested in that even in the least! Nintendo seems to be one of the few video game companies out there that actually have modest games. Those are the kinds I like!

Kenny_C.002 March 3rd, 2004 5:25 PM

Yeah. Nintendo is doing bad with consoles right now. I remember back then when the Super Nintendo dominated everything. It was known as THE console. If you didn't have it, you're not playing video games. Genesis? Who's heard of that? Super Nintendo destroyed the competition (at least they put TurboGrafix16 to SHAME).

Gamecube.....they're no longer undisputed, Nintendo. And probably will never be. And Myamoto isn't even the president of Nintendo...(Yes, GBA sales more than GCN, PS2, and Xbox combined)

Kairi March 3rd, 2004 5:37 PM

They do seem to be doing well on the piracy front of consoles, probably because it'd be too much of a pain to crack and burn those minidiscs, or to get ISOs on it. I still think full-sized DVDs and more online support would really make them stand out, but I own more GCN games than I do any of my other next-gen consoles.

Umm..11 games in 1 month is excellent! To tell you the truth, I'm tired of seeing these "Nintendo's Going Downhill" threads ¬_¬ Nintendo isn't going downhill, it is doing pretty good at the moment. The truth is, all console sales have been lower then previous years, it isn't just nintendo, it is all of the systems. For example: when is the last time Xbox made a decent game, even any game at all? Pretty much all of their games are spread to all the other consoles as well. And PS2 is not doing as good as it used to be as well, so don;t just get the impression that only Nintendo is doing slightly worse this year, ALL of them are.

DragonTrainer March 3rd, 2004 7:23 PM

You know, you say 11 games in a month is a bad thing.Ever heard of quality over quantity?I bet you that those 11 games can beat all of the other games XBOX produces in 2 months, because nintendo will always give you quality, no matter how few games they give you, you can always be sure that each is a quality game.

Haruka March 3rd, 2004 7:45 PM

XBOX is basicly a computer... >_>...

Gamecube is better because it has SSBM..

bna_li March 3rd, 2004 7:55 PM

M confused! Why are we talking about XBOX now? I love Superstar Saga. The replayability is not so high though. I mean, its WAY too easy.
