I loved conker by the way..and i would have gladly purchased it for my Cube. (if it's not on the NIntendo Game Store, i might just have to get an N64 to play that one game).

They seem to be insisting that it is a GameCube game and not for revolution.

At any rate I loved Conkers also, even got it for Xbox (wasn't half as good as I remember).

Anywho, by the time Zelda ships Xbox 360 will have been out for a year and on Second gen games, also people will be more interested in the PS3 and Revolution.

Yeah thats why i reckon there will be some tie in with the revolution. i mean lets face it...it's Zelda, it's gonna sell like hot cakes anyway.

That way, ppl who dont have a cube, wont get one, and will opt for the NRS to play the game, and those with cubes will buy the game game anyway. either way, it'll sell.

As far as Conker....wasnt as good the second time around eh ? i guess a lot of the 'charm' on the first came from being surprised and delighted at the levels, voices and gameplay. And all they seem to have done was bump the graphics up treamondously for the XB. And i gotta admit, if i had to choose the preetiest game for this past gen, it'll have to be Conker on the XB. but, id still prefer to play the N64 version, just cause it was the first version i saw and it'll be cheaper for me to get a hold of

Zelda will definitely be a GCN game. However, the fact that they have now delayed the release until around the same period of time the Revolution is going to be released, you can bet that they'll use it to sell more Revolutions. It will have added features on the Rev, after all.

Sorry, what was all the bitching by the fanboys that everyone copies Nintendo? Seems they get their influence from someone else....

No, it really really wasn't. The first time around it was shock value and different, but the game feels really slow.

They did add more than just better graphics to the XB version. They added new baddies, different ways to get by areas (like the gargoyle) and the audio isn't compressed.

Either way I was really disappointed as the camera is really bad and the whole gameplay seems really dated.

Am I supposed to be upset my Nintendo hardware matches my computer?

Maybe I'm not trying hard enough to be upset.

Not at all but you are admitting they copy. Apple should be the one upset.

By copy you mean... the colors match.... for systems that come in multiple colors?

Hawkeye_a · Feb 20, 2006, 09:58 PM

Cool. even more similarities with Apple. this article ->gameindustry.biz delves deeper, and points out the underpinning philosophies of both companies and how similar they are in their respective markets.

I love Apple's industrial design, so it comes as no surprise that i love Nintendo's as well

In my opinion, unlike Microsoft or Sony who just copy anything and everything, Nintendo, like Apple innovates in their space and bring a lot of new ideas to the table.

What is worng if Iwata likes Macs?

Isn't this cool?

goMac · Feb 21, 2006, 01:06 PM

Nintendo is a huge Macintosh company. I know at least their American headquarters is mostly Mac based. I had a few friends who worked there.

Wow, this test now converts all of your useless contributions to gaming threads worthwhile! What were we thinking?

Love to hear your results.

Actually it totally backs up what I have been saying all along. I am not a fanboy to any system.

You on the other hand have NEVER contributed anything to these discussions only posting your hilarious "3 more pages" and critique of my posts.

Dakar · Mar 21, 2006, 02:09 PM

Because I'm bored:

Nintendo Fanboy: 46%
Sony Fanboy: 44%
Microsoft Fanboy: 18%

I think the Nintendo part is a bit overinflated, but otherwise, accurate.

goMac · Mar 21, 2006, 03:41 PM

Nintendo Fanboy: 55%
Sony Fanboy: 8%
Microsoft Fanboy: 23%

I Bent My Wookiee · Mar 21, 2006, 03:50 PM

So in other words if any of you guys call ME a fanboy again you're going to get a beating.

You're the one with the overall highest fanboy rating.

For me:

Nintendo Fanboy: 55%
Sony Fanboy: 8%
Microsoft Fanboy: 23%

This means you're: Somewhat Fanboy

What does it mean?

Well, you like Nintendo the best, but you aren't in love with them. Guess you're really not in love with video games period... or at least you're not obsessed with them. Which may not be a bad thing.

No, the poll clearly said to me "You are not a fanboy and accept all systems". Since my numbers are pretty much equal it would seem to back that up.

I am only 3% less of a Nintendo fanboy than you yet you say I hate nintendo.

Dakar · Mar 21, 2006, 04:24 PM

I would say once you get more than 15% over/under 50% you're heading into fanboy/anti-fanboy territory.

So by that standard, I'm an anti-Microsoft fanboy, and GoMac is anti-Microsoft and really anti-Sony.

Pretty much what I was saying from day one. One of those unfortunate people who think they can only have ONE system and HATE everything else just because it doesn't have a Nintendo label on it.
