Hmm... I dunno how to exactly post in this topic, so I will list things I want them to change about Gamecube.
1) THE MEMORY CARD!-They shouldn't even release a 500kb card to begin with. It should be at very least 8MB-16MB and price is no object.
2) Change the disk format- I think having a DVD player could at least help them a little... yeah, it can raise the price of the console, or force big losses at launch, but the fact is Nintendo has to make some sacrifices to succeed. Sony was in first place, and they were willing to, and MS started in last place, also willing to.
3) Please, no more stupid decisions- Selling Rare had to be the biggest screw any company has done to it's fans. Nintendo should be more like MS, never sell, only buy.
-Also, don't go around changing your best selling series... when games have too many changes the sales usually only go down.
4) Bring back the Aki/THQ connection- I guess Nintendo didn't realize that WWF games were thier best selling third party games in the N64 generation.. or they didn't realize why. Nintendo needs to step in and make sure this connection is brought back.
5) You don't have to ditch the kiddy image but...- Give third parties and more genres of games a chance for marketing. Nintendo needs to help with Marketing thier sports games, which they did this generation, but not nearly enough. If fans think the next Nintendo system is the best place to buy the sports games I'm sure that would help sales a hell of a lot.
-Not to mention RPGs and Fighting games, oh, and racing games. Nintendo needs to have at least 3 top notch games in every genre.
6) Nintendo should look at the list of..- Best sellers for the Gamecube and the GBA, and make full fledged sequals to these games on the console format. Nintendo acts as if they don't know what thier fans like, the sales charts should say it all.
7) Sequals first, origanal content second- If they are so worried about profit they should pay attention to sequals. Think about the best selling games for most formats... either they are break-through origanal content or sequals that didn't stray far from it's original game.
I have more I'll post them later.
