How was that called for? I didn't say all X-Box games are a bunch of crap, did I?
Anyway, it seems like at least on these boards there are two extremely different kind of gamers: one likes the Japanese stuff, the other one the Western "crap" (

). It's funny that Nintendo seems to be the one in the middle, the one that everyone can enjoy. I mean just look at your X-Box list for this year:

There's nothing on your X-Box list that I'd enjoy (except Conker maybe) and there's nothing on my PS2 list that you'd play but our Gamecube lists are quite similar.
However since I'm the best member of the Drome, I'm right of course.

HAHAHAHA! You get points for that one pal!

I feel Nintendo is going to hype that Zelda like they're no tomarrow so as to hurt Microsoft's Xbox 2 launch by launching it the same week. You know, whatck the new technology with the old type of deal. Then they'll put Gamecube to rest, and move twords Revolution along with Sony just as Microsoft hits the Summer game drout. Good stratagy for both of 'em.

**Barkworm** · 01-31-2005, 04:24 AM

I'm really wondering when the hell they want to release Mario 128.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-31-2005, 04:05 PM

My guess on Mario 128, even though this is OFF TOPIC (You spammers! XD), is winter 2005.

There isn't any holiday Gamecube title in the pipes yet... we've got RE4 to tide us over until the summer, Zelda in the fall... and nothing after that.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-09-2005, 07:03 PM

Now here some interesting sh*t. This is a quote from Bloomberg. Pay attention to the last sentence....

"Nintendo Co., Ltd. manufactures and markets home-use video games including the Nintendo GameCube and Gameboy systems. The Company also produces related software used in conjunction with its television-compatible entertainment systems. Nintendo diversifies its business by seeking to offer new applications of video game systems, such as e-mail boxes and Digital Video Discs (DVDs)."

Now, remember when a Long long time ago, Nintendo said that the Revolution would be able to hook to a PC monitor and such. Is Revolution going to feature some sort of PC functionality?

Demented Utrom · 02-10-2005, 12:35 AM

Well more video game consoles next year.PS3 don't anything about any of the machines.I get EGM PS3 is supposed be revealed at E3 this year.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-10-2005, 01:32 AM

Dude, speak in English because I don't speak Engrish.

Peanut · 02-10-2005, 02:38 AM

Just ignore him. Everything he writes in unintelligible garble.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-10-2005, 12:44 PM

My guess is that Xbox2 will be a super powered standard console, the PS2 will be new processor technology that will be HELL to program for, and Revolution will be a console/PC hybred with it's own screen that produces special floating 4D images. That's my guess.

**Barkworm** · 02-10-2005, 12:58 PM

I've read interviews with some Sega developers who said that the new Microsoft thingy is EXTREMELY easy to program for. I guess that will bring them even more support.

*JameO* · 02-10-2005, 01:32 PM

Any date on when Xbox 2 will be coming out? Near the end of the year? I will be getting Xbox 2 and Revolution, Sony will be not getting my money this time(I don't even want my PS2 anymore). As barkworm said PS2 games just aren't pleasing me, so no PS3 for me.

**Barkworm** · 02-10-2005, 02:39 PM

I think it was confirmed that X-Box2/Xenon will definitely be released this year, so the end of the year should be a safe bet.

Peanut · 02-10-2005, 04:06 PM

I also predict Halo 3 for launch of the console, or sometime near it. Anyone who's played the full game can't deny that it was rather short for so many years in development. Bungie said they had to take a LOT out, so my guess is they shortended the game up so they could take the stuff they had and apply it to Halo 3.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-10-2005, 05:24 PM

I was going to say no way in hell, but you make a good point about the game's length. Man, it just sunk in how huge E3 is gonna be for everyone.

Peanut · 02-10-2005, 05:45 PM

Did anyone else read the article on Gamespot about how Sony is going to reveal the PS3 before E3? It was confirmed by someone, but they wouldn't say when or where it would be revealed.

愛 · 02-10-2005, 06:03 PM

No way. That's ridiculous. No confirmed time, though, eh? I can't wait to see what it looks like, and what it's capable of. I wanna see curves that make me tingle in a certain place, baby.

Peanut · 02-10-2005, 06:27 PM

Just found the article again. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/02...s_6118152.html
