Well, Nintendo IS experimenting with the DS online...

I agree though that they're losing their touch.

From what i read its not really nintendo. nintendo just hired or bought or whatever, the warp pipe guys who got some of the GC games to be able to play over the net to work on that aspect of the DS.

And its not really online persay, altho it can, its more of just networking, a network of DS's forming thier own network grid from one to another.

Nono I don't mean the warppipe guys, Nintendo is planning to make online games in the future...

i know.

what im saying is nintendo themselves didnt make the DS online compatable. they HIRED the warp pipe guys to create that to put in the DS for em, or at least help them out with it.

When you buy a game on DS that is able to play on the online/network mode. your going to see a warp pipe logo on the bottom corner of the game box.

At least thats what i've read.

Ah ok, sorry then, that is news to me.

I can see where Null is coming from. The GC was very disappointing. It had some great games which probably will remain some of my favourites, but I mean.........if you go to EB and see the games there, it's just.....wrong.

Haven't touched my consoles in a while though as I've been too busy. I dunno if I'm going to buy the Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft consoles next gen round, or the hand helds. Knowing me I'll still end up owning all of em

but I'm disappointed overall with Nintendo.

PS2 hands down has so much to offer over the competition (IMO). Xbox was ok, it did have it's fair share of games as well.

GC can't be dissapointing, it has analog shoulder buttons with an extra digital click! Surely it has revolutionized how we control games...

and not to mention an over sized A button, cuz thats the button we use most!

......... and the nipple stick.

I actually like their controller.

More than those of the PS2 and XBox.

Nintendo relied too much on sequels of N64 games. And on their kiddy games that aren't really kiddy, but happy.

But back in the day people talked about how NGC's controller will be so revolutionary because, aside from the obvious fact that everything Nintendo makes is, N64 introduced the analog stick and trigger and yada yada...

And then the controller is revealed and the only new thing they added was a digital click to the analog buttons... But of course Nintendo fans ate it up...

And nowadays I sometimes forget it's there... Because it serves no extra purpose in most games... Except to make a noise when I push it down...

^^^^ a revolutionary noise that changes the way we, as gamers, view the industry

the GC controller was a poor design, nintendo has a problem designing a controller around a couple games that they're currently working on. then for other games the controller sucks for. like nintendo never even considered thoes types of games.

the PS2 controller hasnt changed for more reasons then just the backwards compatability, it hasnt changed because theres no reason to change everything. its setup works for every game type. and is the most copied design of any controller. other controllers added the duel analogs, and pc controllers are built as almost an exact double of the PS2 controller.

But the Dual Shock is only relatively comfortable! The thing I like about the NGC controller is that I can feel certain that my hands will be very comfortable while I sluggishly make my way through a game...

the Gamecube controller gives me more confidence as a person, and gives me opportunities I would otherwise have only dreamt about...

Amen!
