Aqua-Soft ForumsIs nintendo making the right moves? Are its glory days over? We all can agree that SNES kicked the living poo out of everything. So did NES. So did Gameboy, GBA, and GBA-SP. But then again, who remembers the Virtual Boy? Who wants to sit there for hours straining your back looking into the thing? it was a cool idea in theory...i tried it and i liked it for about 5 minutes...then there is the game and watch system thye made, no one remembers that. i know no one does. lol.
nintendo 64 was a flop. it was great technologically....the idea of sticking with cartridges is debatable but it made it accessible to little kids (nintendo's recent plunge...look at the majority of gamecube games initially). but they lost their 3rd party support here. they could have had final fantasy 7 but decided to screw square. it made the playstation famous among other 3rd party people. name the gamecube 3rd party games that are good and ull be thinking hard...nintendo is all first party. bad move.
anyways, en lu of the recent developments, nintendo plans to release the nintendo DS...a new portable that wont compete with the GBA but rather is geared towards competition with the $400 PSP (which is ridiculous...it wont be ablet o compete with the GBA with that price! it can render 3d! and the next GBA system will have backwards compatibility with Gamecube games!)
what it will have is 2 screens, 1 to view close up shots and 1 to view the entire scheme of things. think of a football game: action view and field view. they COULD go places if properly implemented. lets hope it is. post your thoughts and if you know nething...post it.
PS - i love aqua-soft.org. i modded my desktop perfectly for awhile thanks to you guys. i want to give back.
