The main problem with the N64 is that it is not profitable for developers to make games for. Instead, they turn to the Gameboy Color instead. You only have to look at the Gameboy chart (by ELSPA), and you can see GB conversions of best-selling games on rival systems. Driver, Tomb Raider, and Metal Gear Solid are but a few of them. So this just goes to show that developers would be willing to make games for Nintendo, but only if the system is good. If Nintendo attempt and (hopefully) succeed at making the Dolphin anywhere near as profitable and easy to develop for as the Gameboy, then I really believe that Nintendo can regain its dominance in the gaming market.
I agree, especially now that Nintendo seem keen on making their new machine as appealing to the the third parties as possible. With DVD, easy to program, and whats sure to be the best first and second party games lets hope Nintendo have success with the Dolphin. You can put me down already for the new machine simply because it has the Nintendo logo.
