Post your definitions of a Nintendo Revolution!

[j^aws]

SEGA Master System VR glasses...

Nintendo Power Gloves...

This stuff is 15 years old!...If we can't come up with something usable for Ninty Rev...then we'll probably never have VR accepted in a console!

*Imagines multi-player VR Metroid Prime*

Teasy, I don't hope that Nintendo fails in the console market. I just think that they will. Time will tell...

I wish this forum had a ROFL emoticon. BTW, Merry Christmas.

Nintendo has been the revolution in this industry for a very long time , making quality games and not raming crappy ports down our throats like the others .

Not sure what games you're looking at but to me it seems that all platforms are fairly similar in ratio of ports to quality games. Just that the GCN has fewer games overall from both of these categories.

A system with xbox 2 or ps3 graphics with quality games is all the revolution i need .

Wait, so now high-end graphics is enough of a revolution? So do you think that the PSP is a revolutionary handheld?

what like the ps2 fully embraced online play ?

Who brought up the PS2? Anyhow the PS2 has much better online support than the GCN for sure. Certainly not as good as the XBox but far better than the nearly non-existant support on the GCN. Look at the Socom #s. I thought that every night they hit over 100k UNIQUE players!

fighting games have never been good online.

Actually I heard that Xmen works pretty well over live. I too thought they would always suck due to latency.

Would it have been nice if nintendo was like sega and inluded broad band or a modem in with the system sure. But no other company did and it may just added useless costs to the systems that a promise of online play would have taken care of for a few years till they released a lack luster online set up (u know like sony did )

Well, at least MS included an ethernet port for broadband support. Far more than the GCN did. The only connectivity they provided was the fairly pathetic support for GBA link cable. Whee hah. Were it not for Animal Crossing and Zelda WW it would be a total joke. Btw - any other GCN games use this link? Maybe I haven't found the right games.

people would claim its just a fluff feature like some are claming the gba to gamecube metriod hook up is fluff

Are you kidding me? With Metroid I get a different colored suit or something like that. That's a total joke. With Animal Crossing I can at least get new content (the island) AND interact with the island on the GBA if I wish. That's a zillion times better than the Metroid content.

THe nintendo games were engrossing enough that they didn't need online play . I've been very happy with my gba to gamecube connectivity . My cousins come over and we will load up final fantsy or zelda and play all together.

That's great that you find them engrossing enough but apparently the market didn't agree with you much as it found the other platforms more enticing (well at least the PS2). Anyhow, it's not about achieving "enough". It's about pushing boundries. Do you think the PSP is "enough"? I don't. I would have LOVED for a touch screen because I think that can certainly be used for some neat ideas.
