I’m happy I’m feeling glad, just shot odd job in the nads,
I’m useless but not for long, because I just got the golden gun!
Ahh yes Goldeneye, what a special game that was, hundreds of rhymes even more screams of “oh I thought I killed you”, It was a very special game and apparently saved Nintendo in this country! I disagree, it did help but what saved Nintendo was their unique way of advertising, those four sockets in front of their machine!
Goldeneye’s most happening feature was the multiplayer, which is what the N64 was designed for. This is what saved Nintendo due to the Nintendo spread. A group of 6 Playstation fans and 1 N64 fan, this 1 N64 fan would invite his group round for a multiplayer game on Goldeneye (Mario Kart is equally popular), 2 of these friends will fall in love with the heated multiplayer games and buy an N64, these two happen to be involved with a different group and they get introduced to Nintendo and so on!
They say Nintendo don’t advertise well (but find me 1 person who doesn’t know about Pokémon) but it’s their system that has kept them alive. This Time Nintendo have another plan, as long as the Gamecube seems like an essential to the Gameboy Advanced then it will sell well. Again this has little to do with advertisement it is simply the way Nintendo have manipulated their system!
They say Nintendo did badly but only in comparison to the Playstation, they sold more than the SNES and unlike systems such as the Saturn and the Phillips CDi they didn’t go belly up! Nintendo’s ability to advertise is vastly underestimated and their own way of doing things will, one day pay off.
Here’s to the future

Yep me thinks this is gonna happen. This game was totally huge on the sony console in japan. apparently a GC and GBA game is in the works. Another sign of nintendo's rise back to the top.

Dan uk's life story
Nintendo wanting spread like a disease?
I caught I when I played Goldeneye at a friends house. They day before I'd given him advice saying that the N64 was a bit dead and that the forthcoming DC was the future.
I played Goldeneye,
and again...
just one more go....
I'll beat you this time!!!
And four weeks later I ordered a SR membership, the N64 with Goldeneye with 4 pads.
"I'm not going to be one of those Nintendo fans, I'm only buying it for ONE game."
That was my explanation to my Playstation loving friends at school. :-D
In the end I ended up here trying to win more games...

that is the same comparison Special REserve used
and more to the point i am trying to convey the popularaty of the GBA and why if Nintendo angle the impotance of the GC to GBA owners then they will do well.
They are advertising in the other department be it the cool GBA adverts or those boards at the Enlgand Vs Greece game!

PS2 sold poorly in Japan and they've already rejected the x-box what is left...
IF NINTENDO can get this Dragon Warrior deal signed and sealed with Enix they have got the Japanese market, period.
It's very popular with the Japs, more so than Final Fantasy! Hopefully Enix will be part of the Nintendo difference and sign it to the GC!

You can't compare GBA sales to PS2,GC or whatever console because GBA is hand held and the last time I checked you can't carry a console around with you and play it. Plus with people with a number of children would need more because one isn't enough.
remember gold and silver came out last year in the US and japan. They broke some sales records so i'm pritty sure they sold more than red and blue.

That makes no sense,just cause Nintendo sell more means they will advertise better.It is all down to there advertising department to come up with sharp and fun adverts to attract customers,not sales figures.I believee they sold more pokemon red and blue than gold and silver,purely because they have been out longer.
