*slowly steps into thread*
lol Stonecutter reminds me of someone, can't put my finger on it...
...
anyway,
I think Nintendo shouldn't make a system, they should merge with Microsoft, help them with the controler, and leave all the hardware alone. Just concentrate on what they are good at, games.
As for Xbox 2, I say keep doing what they do, Keep Xbox Live running strong, keep the built in hard drive, and the memory cards... maybe there should be a clock added to the system (one that works if the system is plugged in or not).
Keep dropping bones for third party support, keep the development as painless as possible... and release at the same time as Sony.
but
If my lil Merge doesn't happen
Methinks Nintendo should add enough cool exclusive hardware features to warrant a purchase of the hardware over other consoles hardware alone... then the games should well, I dunno what more Nintendo can do, they sold one of my favorite developers to M$, and lost support from one of my favorite developers on WWE games.
I guess Nintendo should start living in the past more often, much like the free disk with WW, start pumping out games w/ free N64 games. Maybe even toss on free pokemon games.... The two biggest things I would like to see is a Mario All Stars 2 game with all the N64 games with "Mario" on it (64, Tennis, Paper, etc)... and plenty of game digitaly remasterd... like OoT and Pokemon Red/Blue.
Personaly, I would like to see Nintendo still release it's console a year later, just to add to the freshness of it, and to seperate it. This gen Xbox ruined Nintendo by moving mosto fhte competition to that next year, but if next time Nintendo has the stand alone strongest newest console it will help.
But I dunno, I still say they need to drop out
-EDIT-
Oh, and how could I forget, Nintendo should ditch the small Memory cards... either get WAY bigger ones, or get an HD, anything is better than those crap memory cards.
