"Nintendo ---- Boring??"

Do you think nintendo are boring? I mean, I own a Gamecube, an SP and yet I still feel that the games are relatively poor and extra hardware is Scarce. I personally think that they need new games and not just sequels or prequels. What do you guys think?

Yeah Bleemcast was legit, I bought mine (MGS) in the high street.

edit: legit because you had to put the original game into the Dreamcast after booting with Bleemcast.

*fears for Mav's sanity*

Yeah, but they're still PSX games. This Bleemcast wasn't exactly legit, was it?

And there are many more great PSX games.

Bleem!cast, I meant, because Bleem! was never released in the UK, I don't think.

Anyway, there would have been more games if the DC had survived longer, and Tekken, MGS, and GT were the three best PS games anyway.

Nah, Nintendo are far better than Sega.

A lot of Sega games suck these days.

And that was my point. The best, most 'fun' games are still made by Sega... whereas Nintendo are yep, pretty boring.

By the way Bleem wasn't a PS1 emulator for DC, that was Bleemcast, and it was only available for Tekken 3, MGS and Gran Turismo 2 (seperate discs for each).

Bleem was a PC emulator and it sucked.

Not really...

No one ever complimented Monkey Ball on the technical side.
Just that they loved to play it.


I've always like Sega games, but for me, they've always been great in one way, but not as perfectionally well rounded as Nintendo's and Rare's were.
Having said that, Nintendo have gone downhill now.
Soccer Slam beats Mario Kart: Double Dash hands down! :-)

It's a bit of both.
You're more experienced and Nintendo aren't putting as much effort into games like they used to.

If you played Goldeneye now, what took you 3 months would now take you less than a week.



Now it looks like you get more fun out of arcady games than in depth games.
Multiplayer is always great. Get Smash Brothers! :-)

Hehe! It was a Playstation emulator for the Dreamcast.
I think it worked like Freeloader.

So you played Playstation games without the loading times and on a pad where the analogue stick was in a comfortable position! :-)
