Nintendo Plan of Attack

That's quite the plan. Although they forgot the part where they get significant third party developer support.

"Hey, we have the best and coolest hardware on the market!"

...

"Holy ****, we don't have any games for it!"

Yeah.

What do you mean no games? Yeah maybe not as much as the PS2, but if the Game Boy Evolution will be able to play Game Cube games then Nintendo will already have 100's of games to play at launch.

Combine all this with wifi technology, hard drive for DS, palm software, and conectivity between systems. Nintendo will be the hottest thing since sliced bread.

If this is true, I'm sold.

Please let this be true...please....

Matt on the IGN mailbag today brought up some good points about this issue. If revolution is really as "Revolutionary" as they say it is, a completley new way of playing games so-to-speak, that really dosent bode too well for backwards compatibility....

That and im not at all convinced backwards compatibality will really matter. Nobody wants to play last-generations games. Whens the last time you went out and bought an old N64 or PSX game?

maybe the backwards compatibility on "next generation hardware" is the Evolution being backwards compatible to GC.... I dunno

A few months ago I bought Oracle Of Seasons, and I did pick up Mario Party 2, damn that game is fun!

Plus, I play Zelda every now and then.

A month ago or so. I play my old consoles all the dang time. If I had one magical Nintendo system that playes NES, SNES, 64, and Gamecube games...let's just say it would make everything easier in terms of those old consoles not working and such.

Nintendo had a poll on their main site a month or 2 ago asking if Ninty released a peripheral to play N64 games on the 'Cube, would you buy it? I gave an overwhelming yes!

I would love it if Ninty did backwards compatibility because nowadays its harder to track down working consoles then working games.

But for the stuff mentioned above, its possible. I'll have to watch to see how Nintendo plans everything out.

I re-bought RE1, 2, and 3... Played through 2 twice, started playing 3... Would've played 1 but I just recently beat the Remake

Anyways, all I have to say is this...

That whole prediction thing mentioned the next GB being technically superior to PSP...

The other topic about how the next GB will come out sooner than we thought mentions it launching with a $99 or so price tag...

And those two don't really fit well together...

I say if Nintendo wants to release a system (other than the DS) that has N64-esque (or slightly better) graphics, $99 bucks it is... But if they're gonna release something on par or better than PSP, I just don't see that happening.... I say $150 at least...

Detailed predictions are still just predictions, might as well stick with last gen's (upgraded for the upcoming console wars) "Revolution will return Nintendo to the glory days of SNES!"

who cares?

ZebraRampage · 03-01-2005, 09:51 PM

It's possible for them to do that..and it would work..if they had games. I'm stealing exactly what Darkmaster and Vampyr said, but it was the first thought that came to mind when I finished reading that. I probably wouldn't play too many of the third party games if Nintendo had them..but I know a lot of other people would.
