NFC - Nintendo Fan Club

Oohh I can't believe I didn't see this club until now! I really love Nintendo games a lot, even if Nintendo is in a slump right now.

Can I join?
 
You've got a point there, Poke-Rev XD. Imagine all the things you can do with the revo controller. Sword, FPS, Light-saber etc. I'm also anxious for it XDD
 
Poke-Rev: What I find strange is, that games on the 360 is done on the PC, other systems or should have been with Nintendo. Perfect Dark is made by Rare. And Rare ditched Nintendo, Perfect Dark as you know was an N64 game. Kameo was first ment to be out on the GC. But it got put off and put off till it ended up on the 360. I can go look up all the games on the 360 right now and some to come that's on the PC or done on the older systems. It's sad (reminds me of the PSP, just ports off the PS2).

Hitokiri: Sure you can join.
But Nintendo isn't in a slump.
 
Actually, I've heard that Nintendo sold Rare to Microsoft 5 years ago and it still baffles me. Since then, Rare was repsonsible for making alof of hit games during the N64 and early Gamecube era and right now, look how they are standing with Xbox and 360. All what they've made was just mediocre games. It seems Rare has lost its touch since they're now owned by Microsoft.

I forgot when Rare sold off. But I don't think it was 5 years ago.
Ok I just found out when, it was Sep of 02. Nintendo sold off it's 49% stock in the company (what a stupid move for Nintendo). That's why RareWare only made games for Nintendo (they owned 49% of the stock, with that much ownership they had some push power with Rare). 3 days later Microsoft walks in and buys up that 49% to take Rare.
Rare is a third party game maker. Just like Square or Namco or Capcom or any of the others. But Nintendo just owned most of the stock and Rare was getting killer sells from Nintendo so they didn't make games for anyone else.

No you don't have to rejoin Johto Boy. But you can join the Nintendo group. Just go to "User CP" and under "Miscellaneous" you'll see "Group Memberships", find "The Nintendo Gaming Guild" and then click the icon and then "Join Group". You'll have it in your profile showing you're apart of the group.
 
I'm sure that if Nintendo made such a drastic move it must have been for a reason ^.^;;

I've heard that a lot of 3rd parties dislike Nintendo because Gamecube and DS are so much more difficult to make games for seeing as they have such unique hardware.

Well, they obviously sold it to get money, why else would you sell something.

First of all: 3rd parties don't dislike the GC or DS(especially the DS!!!). The reason third parties tend to not make as many games for the GC than the PS2 or X Box is because they feel that they will make more money by releasing a game to a much higher installed base(PS2) or to a more "mature" audience(X Box), not because they dislike the GC or the developement is hard. As for the DS, you must be on crack, 3rd parties absolutely love the DS. It cost less to develop games on the DS than it is for the other high profile option(PSP) and the DS even has a higher installed base than the PSP so the game will move off the shelves quicker. I kind of get what you mean on the difficulty in making a game for the DS. Not that it's actually difficult to make a game for it but it's more like how are they going to take advantage of the touchscreen and mic of the DS, I think developers like the challenge though.
 
Hi everyone im a very big fan of Nintendo I currently have the DS, and the Gamecube but at one point i've had all of their systems! Im going to get the revolution when it comes out I love the Idea about the Remote and I like the shell as well!

Also does anyone know the revolution's exact release date? I think it was May 9th right?

So can I join?
 
I'm not incharge, but I think they should let you join.

Sorry for not getting on for a while! ^^;
I've been very busy. I think the DSL looks cool, and I was probably going to trade in for a DS with a different coler and packed in game, so yeah.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but last I heard Nintendo said it was going to be released around Thanksgiving. I can't find the place I saw it though.
 
Nintendo said they would release the DS Lite in three colors, including the white one already shown. They didn't say what they would be yet, hopefully one is black.

Sure you can, welcome to the club Naruto-Uzumaki. If you want you can also join our PC group.


I'm going for a black DSLite. It'll match my Revolution. XD
Unless they're going to have a red Lite. If so then I'm going with that.
 
Personally I'd love a green Rev. But not if it's that sickly green in that pic.
If those turn out to be the final colors, it's down to either the black or silver for me.
 
Yeah, a red one like that one. I agree with you, I'm going for the black one. Seriously though, I can't find a pic of a black Rev controller!

When Nintendo says "expandable memory" for the Rev and its 512 MB of storage do they mean SD cards and external HDDs or do they mean that you will be able to purchase extra memory to put on the Rev kind of like for a PC? I know that SD cards and possibly HDDs but I havn't heard of the PC-like memory. What do you think?
