If Nintendo was the noob, they couldn't get people excited with Mario, Zelda and Metroid.
But... My most anticipated games are mostly coming to GCN.

I agree with Joeiss...
The market has changes drastically since Nintendo first entered/dominated. It's now more about "cool-looking/mature" games than anything else. A reason games like Mario will survive even with such an altered attitude toward games and what makes them great, is because most people known that when it comes to Mario, they can overlook all that kiddy mess(for most people), because it has a long and great history, revolutionizing the industry almost every time.
Although Nintendo is constantly bashed for "kiddy games/weird games," there is no denying that their superior track record helps soften the blow. As a result, even some of the same short-sighted people who think games should all be "cool and mature," still are open to most Nintendo games(like Mario) because the well-known quality of these games, and their legacy, helps them to overlook that "kiddy" factor. A "new" Nintendo wouldn't have that benefit.
If Nintendo were the new guys... they'd be pretty much assed-out when dealing with those kind of gamers. Since there are plenty of them, Nintendo would be assed-out in general.
I guess I'd still buy their console since I'm least concerned with how "mature" or "cool" a game looks. However, even I wouldn't have much faith in them, since they'd have no track-record. I mean, that's why most of us are Nintendo fans in the first place... they provide us with some of the best games ever made, and have done that on many occasions.
PS: Some of you forgot just one thing. We have to remember that if Nintendo were new, games like Mario, Metriod, Zelda, Starfox, etc, wouldn't be as antiscipated as they are...they'd just be your everyday in-development game that you look forward to because they are LOOKING good(visually). They'd have as much antiscipation as say...Malice... you'd know next to nothing about them cept for the fact that they look nice. With that said, you definitely won't be as confident/happy about GameCube's future as you are now. Think about it...

Actually, those games probably wouldn't even exist. Nintendo would have a completely different strategy because they or their titles would not be known among gamers so they would probably either go to a more mature look or fail miserably.
What people aren't seeing is that if Nintendo were the new guy they wouldn't have been around 16 years ago.

Wow, how long did that take you to figure out that if Nintendo was new, they wouldn't have been around 16 years ago? That is a remarkable discovery.

haha, go easy on Link Joeiss.
I think he was implying that judging from some of the replies, as obvious as it may seem, some people still aren't taking it into account.
At least, that is what he better be implying...

I know, I just like to be a jackass.
But I think that he meant to say what you said. I think that some people here think that they would have thought that Metroid and Zelda would be amazing, but they are just lying to themselves. GCN would be crap with the line up they have right now.

Yeah! I wouldn't buy it if it was the new guy. Cause thier games would be sequels.
Well, I gues I wouldn't have bought it when it first came out. I would've waited to see how it turned out to be as a system. I always get the chance to play the games one way or another. But seeing how thing's have gone. I would want to buy it. And would buy it, because:A) I just have to have Resident Evil B)I think the games that have come out so far are great. So, let's say that right now I would be saving money for one.

You read my post wrong...
I mean if Waverace, NBA Courtside, Smash Bros, and Rouge Leader were origanal games, from a new developer, they would be a Joke.
Just like how Microsoft's exclusive games were a joke... I think Nintendo would have to release a better game in order to be recognized... Kinda like how Microsoft released Halo...

Ok! Got the point. Yeah, that's true. But I still think RS2 would've done well. And the rest of the games are decent none the less.
