why did you do that.

the new mario looks like a "we'll just have to see"

as for power comparisons, a lot of it has to do with how well developers can program for it. And that's another "we'll see." Just give me games that are fun, cause gaming has lost a lot of that for me...

GameCube had better graphics compared to PS2 (277 MHz vs. 415 approx. MHz)

don't do that. the chips on PS2 and GC are different, you can't compare performance just by looking at clock speeds. also, potential performance has nothing to do with "better graphics". a metaphor: it's not the size of the tool, it's how you use it.

don't know about Mario Galaxy, but other than that, what Geo said.

you are right about simply comparing numbers is wrong but the ps2 was the weakest console last gen...

''3rd person shooters!'' yay!
im famous for doing retarded stuff like that. what about, omnipresent shooters. hell yeah.



about the cube. they pulled off RE4 , and it is one of my favorite games of all time, to tell you the truth, i played that game all the way through, 3 times in a row. back to back. thats how nicey nice that game was. on the other hand, ps2 made theres better cuz they had the processing and the memory to add more things on the screen , and going on at once.

HERE IS MY BEEF, i am sick of playing a friggin nintendo games that cut corners because of the graphics, and has little or no detail or ambiance. for instance , you walk into a room and there is only one chair and table, and maybe a picture on the wall. and then there is that fact that anything in those games that is suposed to be round or sqereical in shape, ends up looking like a polygonal mess of angles. i am totally sick of seeing wheels and other round objects look like stop signs or other polygons. and then nintendo is famous for making a new consol, but then there line up of games are for 2 year olds and feature some form of cute little colorful creature that looks like a telatubbie, or a whole village of them, and try to call it a game.

[Geo]

really? because it kind of looks like a Mario game.

not my mario!

Play Silent Hill 3 (on the PS2) and tell me when you find the room with the single wheelchair in it. That argument means nothing compared to the system. Just as naz said, developers control what is put into the games, not Nintendo. And if Nintendo DID develop a game, normally the game would be superb (of course, this could imply that Retro Studios, Nintendo EAD, and Intelligent Systems ARE Nintendo because they are first-party developers. FPDs are owned by the console publisher).

Round objects are important to Nintendo games. Just look at Mario Party, Wind Waker, and Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. Are you saying that those graphics suck? If so, then I can say that the graphics for any Tony Hawk game (for the PS2 or anything else, because they are ports of the PS2 version) suck, and yet I still buy them because they're fun to play (until recently; THUG2 left a bad taste in my mind and have been turned off since). Plus, if it plays great, who the f*** cares what it looks like? Play some Super Metroid, please (I am, in no way, inferring that Super Metroid's graphics suck, but they ARE two-dimensional, which a lot of teens nowadays consider horrible. I would do anything to go back in time and live the days where Super Mario 64 looked "real"; tis a shame that I keep seeing all these "OMG THAT LOOKS REEEEEEEEEAL" n00b posts everywhere on 360 and PS3 YouTube videos. ;_.

Kiddy games were made for the Xbox too (not as many, I know, but get over it: they're still on it).

Your arguments, Bluegoriya, are truly biased against Nintendo and make no mention as to how the PS2 was the weakest of the three. In fact, you make it sound as if GameCube was the weakest of the three, which is entirely false. Like said, research FTW.

EDIT: Typos FTW.

nario.. reset your Dr. Mario game... and set the music back to Chill...

developers are lazy when it comes to porting games... games originally on the ps2 look like shit when ported to the gc and vice verse...

EDIT: ok shit was a bit extreme...

Sorry. I get worked up when there's clear ignorance or if I have an opposing opinion. naz and I once talked about Chrono Cross, but I don't think that needs to be brought up. Plus, he had some good points too. It's all good now.

haha maybe my English essay that I'm working on now (which is due tomorrow) is making me stressed out, therefore making me all chaotic.

In fact, I think I'll check out Chill at Galbadia Hotel. Thanks. ,,V,

dude, sorry to say it, but you are just way to much of a fanboy. you're gonna give yourself a heart attack, or get mugged in a back alley.

lets just sit back, pop open a cold beer, and see what happens.

I totally just listened to the N64 version of Chill for a whole hour straight. That was one of the best songs to listen to while working on an essay.

And, naz, I'm just stating the facts. Although I must say, Silent Hill 3 & 4, and Kingdom Hearts II really pulled off the PS2 hardware nicely, what with all the reflections and shadows and and and

[Naz]

and i'm saying that facts are just facts, and sometimes theres more to it than that. look i'm pro wii, more than any other system. i just think you're going about it the wrong way. and you really need to stop jumping up and down and waving your arms madly about like a loon. its not helping your arguments.

[Bluegoriya]

i love nintendo. i was raised on it, man! i just get dissopointed sometimes. but never with the zelda or metroid games. it just is kinda sucky that i actually buy a system just for zelda. you know? raise your hand if you bought a n64 for mario 64 and zelda. if you said blastcorps , kick yourself.
raise your hand if you bought a game cube for any of the zeldas and/or metroid. sure they come out with some gems after the fact.

take this point. nintendo is more after inovation, than graphics. but if you think about it, every time nintendo came out with a new gizmo, it was only utilized with about one game, then left to the dust.]
for instance, zap gun - duck hunt
super scope 6 - the game that came with it, and some yoshi game
the super nes mouse - mario paint, earthbound
n64 microphone - some stupid pikachu game.
game cube microphone- some japanese samuri game with sub par graphics.
n64 disk drive RIP
ect ect ect...

then there is nintendos DS. its inovation was the touch screen. but if i am interested in playing a cool game without that feature, like castlevania, i cant. i sould have a choice to use it or not.

dont get me wrong, nintendo has huge nuts to take the risk, and their inovation catches on about %50 of the time, like fishing in the zelda games (or being able to kill chickens)
, or using cool scanning modes in metroid ( ala preditor movie)
or a game totally about farming and raising animals.
