Nintendo does it well.

Sure it loads, but it does it in a way that we don't even notice it.

Yeah look at Metroid Prime 1 and 2

Not just Metroid, all Nintendo games I played didn't seem to load at all.

Pre-Gamecube that is

of course you guys say that cuz you've all grown accustomed to your gamecubes. I don't notice long load times anymore on my ps2....

In any case my point was ALL CONSOLES HAVE LOAD TIMES FAST OR SLOW <~~~~~ and I did say that.

And all cartridge based games didn't need load times because they couldn't play live movies. Remember WWF No Mercy when the titan tron videos were slide shows.....

CD's are manufactured differently in that the files are arranged in fragments and so the lense has to adjust to read that segment and then load it.

In any case... All consoles (PS2, XBX, GCN) have load times fast or slow.

Don't be calling me a fanboy for my comment directly above me if thats what your inferring.

Cartidges still "technically" have loads times but since its constantly being streamed on/off the cart, its not as noticeable.

Read my posts again brainiac. I said that Nintendo games load, I mean it's impossible not to, but nintendo does it in a way that we don't even notice it. And it's not because we've grown accustomed to it

I'm not talking about all games on the gamecube, just those published by Nintendo. Games like Wind Waker, Metroid etc... don't have a still screen with an icon telling us it's loading and taking time doing so.

Just take GT4, you have to wait for it to load just to go from the main menu to the option screen. You'll never see that on a nintendo game.

It's a simple fact really.
