Nintendo have annoyed me over the past year, releasing some of the most childish games and really not giving a toss about how their console does in terms of sales, but this takes the buiscuit. Having just seen this lovely image, '' [URL]http://shop.game.net/consoles/[/URL] '' i was happy to see the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP together, just before war begins, but the picture on the DS's screen seemed to show Super Mario 64, the N64 classic.
Nintendo have just been releasing childish games like Donkey Kong with drums, all the NES classics on the Gameboy Advance. It just seems Nintendo have no ideas left in the games industry and they just seem to be living in the past by re-releasing games that were popular when Nintendo were in their prime.
Come on Nintendo, get some new ideas!

Yes, very true, but the handheld market is very different to the home-console one. Look at the Wonderswan, Gizmondo, N-Gage etc etc- they all failed miserably in what is a very Nintendo-dominated market.

Ah, you misinterpreted what I said. I was pointing out the fact that the DS has out-sold its expectations by a long way, and will continue to increase in demand. Not many people can afford a DS and a PSP, so we'll see how that goes.

Yes, and it's more valid than your efforts...

This is aimed at gamer4ever:

You do realise the DS has sold more then the PSP, and is an extremely profitable console.
The thought that nintendo dont give thought about sales, is quite obserd, they are probably better at advertising and marketing out of sony and microsoft.

Just like Nintendo had lots of experience prior to thhe N64, where as Sony had none with the PS1.

So therefore the PSP won't. Of course.

Wow. A valid point. Well done.

Mario Sunshine and F-zero GX aren't what I'd consider to be easy.

Have you tried either of the Metroid Prime games. If you say that you can complete these games with ease then you are probably lying.

Games being "childish" is a silly reason.
I sold my Gamecube because I thought that most of the games I played sucked hard, but you don't see me making threads about it every five minutes.

And that's because what I play is up to me, and I don't care what other people like/don't like. My opinion has no bearing on anyone else's, and theirs none on mine.
