We all know that Nintendo have released the Game Boy Advance. We all know that Nintendo have the Gamecube almost ready for release. So what do you expect from them?
Many people thought that the nintendo 64 was a huge dissapointment, with many, or far to many 'cute' style games. Yes there were many that would be classed as 'cute'. Though really, were they that bad? or is it a reason for Playsation fans to stab at Nintendo?
On a personal opinion I thught the 64 was a great console, so what I am talking about? Well the future.
The NES and SNES never really had many 'cute' classed games. The N64 did, the Game Cube is expected to have a mixture of both. So why the 64 the odd one out?
Well we can't look back at what Ninty has done, we can only look forward. The GBA advance; released only Friday and I haven't heard a bad report yet. Looks like this little mean machine has a good future. The Gameboy has never really had to many bad reports- it has always been a great idea. It went very downhill at one point, and though I dont want to say it- Pokemon was the saviour. It brought the GBC back to life.
So what we going to see on the GBA- more Pokemon titles, a wider range of RPGs, sports and adventure? I feel this machine has a bright future, as long as Nintendo pay attention to it. Will they though? Or is all concentration going to go to the Game Cube. One can hope not, as not even Pokemon may be able to revive it again. What are your opinions on the future of the GBA?
The Gamecube- plenty of information has been released on this console. We have seen launch titles, video clips and pictures. They have, and many have agreed, plenty of potential. The grahics are looking top notch, the playabilty looks great and the reviews are more compliments to what this machine may be capable of.
So we can agree it looks pretty smart? No matter though, what we think, it's up to Nintendo on how they use it. Will they use it to it's maximum capacity? One would hope so! They may underuse it though, and ruin something that has great potential or will they think far to much of it and make games that are far to big to run, resulting in us buying more memory for it...I can see this happening.
So there are many outcomes of what could happen to the new Ninty machines. They could be the best thing since sliced bread, but lets not get to excited, they could be huge flops, one could be used alot more than the other. Its all up to you now Nintendo, we can see what you have, and what you have is potential to be the best.... how will they use it is what will determine a good or bleak future for the Nintendo consoles.

Ild expect Nintendo to learn from the mistakes of the past. So far the seem to be doing that, they'e got alot of good titles in the pipeline...e.g. Luigis Mansion, Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, Perfect Dark 2: After Dark, Donkey Kong Racing.
Its not just Rare and Nintendo developing games either other companies such as Namco have given their support to the machine, a Namco fighter will come to the GameCube.
Nintendo already have all the hardware add ons made, the broadband and cable modems fit easily into the base of the console.
Ild also predict a launch game that takes advantage of the GameBoyAdvance GameCube linkup. Perhaps this will be a Pokemon game, PerfectDark 2 or another game... however I scincerely believe that this will happen.
It would make sense, as everyone who has already brought the GameBoyAdvance would then see the GameCube as the next logical step up.
I expect Nintendo to deliver the best games weve seen to date, and bring gaming back home.

What can we expect from the future of Nintendo?
Expensive games.

Nice post IB!
Nintendo don't nick ideas :-D
Anyway, the PS2's launch was rushed and a mess was made of it. Same with the DC's. The N64's launch was with only one game.
Nintendo want to learn from these mistakes and hence the numerous delays and long waiting time.
I think that they still have it out one or two weeks before the Xbox though.

Releasing Nintendo's consoles sfter other- gives them a chance to weigh up there stuff with rivals. So they can nick Playsation and Dreamcast ideas to make the Gamecube top notch.
I think its a bit difficult to tell, but i'm sure it will.
Nintendo has seen and created the best generation consoles ever like the NES,SNES,N64,GAMEBOY, GAMEBOY advance, and now the Gamecube (which from the latest I've heard is still in the making, IT HASN'T BEEN SCRAPED!)
However, Niintendo always releases its new consoles to late, so companies like sony can go ahead, nintendo will surely carry on, if they could release a console on time, or before the others...

Its hard to tell. I think its a brave move for them to use the smaller sized disks. If they don't make a big impact at the start then developers may go elsewhere and nintendo may end up like sega. Remember the sega saturn?
