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?

Because I could go into a shop and buy a Dreamcast game for a fiver without having to read a review because what was the point?

Pure Arcade brilliance?

Has any games Topped Jet Set Radio and Zombie's Revenge?

I think not.

Judging by the prices for Bangai-o, Shenmue II and Skies of Arcadia (£28 - £38), anyone with some old Dreamcast rarities could make a mint. If I ever felt the urge, I could probably eBay off Seaman for close to £60, but it's too precious to my heart.

Nintendo aren't boring just only give the audience what they want in small doses, rather than making the ultimate game they make it half cool and half gay.

eg

Zelda wind waker, totally cool gameplay but totally gay graphics

Mario sunshine - again totally cool gameplay, but totally gay one type of level setting. You know, no variation in levels, no snow, underwater etc

Final Fantasy - Not Nintendo but totally excellent graphics, totally gay FF game, no story, costs too much to play properly and defeats the point of playing games. If you have four friends why play games? This game it totall gay.

Ok ÂLŠ†ÂÎR just like to say this, just promise not to tell anyone, and I know it is kinda shocking but...

I agree.

Oh and Ikargu is really a Nintendo exclusive really as the Dreamcast is dead. I know it was built on 2 systems but one system doesn't challenge the Gamecube now does it.
