The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I was going to put 101 reasons but haven't been able to think up anymore!
1. Nintendo have been around longer than anyone here. They were founded in 1898 as a playing card company.
2. Nintendo have 15 years of experience with consoles.
3. Sony are relatively new to the console wars. Only a few years old.
4. How many good consoles have Microsoft produced? None!
5. Nintendo have some great manufactures backing them.
6. Sony are unable to be original, they copy Nintendo all the time.
7. So do Microsoft.
8. The Gamecube is much more advanced than The PS2.
9. The GBA. More processor power than a Playstation. Shows how far behind playstaion are.
10. Nintendo have produced 3 amazing consoles ( with one on the way) and 4 awesome handheld held ones.
11. Both the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube have 4 controller ports. This allows great
multiplayer fun. Does the Playstation, Playstation 1 or Playstation 2 have that? No! you have to buy an extra adapter which means more trips out and more money spent.
12. I know that the Gamecube will be sold for $199 in America.. Now that’s somewhere in the region of £150. The Playstation 2 however was released here for a rip off £300!
13. Nintendo are reliable and trustworthy.
14. The have Rare making games for them and if you don’t already know Rare are the best game manufacturer of games.
15. People say “ oh but playstation have sold more than Nintendo”. Well the reason here is that the Playstation is CHEAP! I hired one for a few days and it stopped working! I have never had any trouble with any Nintendo product and don’t know anyone who has.
16. Microsoft make good computers and programs but they have no experience in the console market. They are jumping in at the deep end with no knowledge of what people want or what is popular.
17. When the Gamecube is released it will be easy on you wallet and perform much better than anything else.
18. The Gamecube is good looking, comes in 5 colors and is small and portable. Anyone seen how big the Playstation 2 is! My computer is only a bit smaller but about 20 times more powerful!
19. There are going to be an incredible amount of things to add on to your gamecube. There will be both a modem and broadband adapter, which fits neatly under the Gamecube. Digicards for saving as well as a Panasonic one which would hold 8 megs of saves! An adapter to connect your Cube to a digital camera to transfer pics into games. To top that off there will also be a wireless controller!
20. The GBA will be able to plug into the cube offering yet more original options for game play.
21. Sega will be making games for the cube and GBA. They are quite good at making games and are sure to do well out of that deal.
22. What is this 3rd place add for the Playstation 2? What does it mean? I played on one and was not transported to the realm of the duck man. Instead I got sore thumbs and couldn’t find the buttons.
23. For playstaion is crap info check out Er-No’s post on the Nintendo sucks thread.
24 Has the Playstation 2 been designed for anyone? I say no. It is Big and black. The gamecube however is available in 5 colors to match your room. They are Black, gold, silver, Blue/purple and pink. Something for everyone.
25. Nintendo have always been tops for original console ideas. The 64DD was an inspired idea but unfortunately never got released here! L
26. You can say Pokemon is crap but try telling that to its millions of fans worldwide. Pokemon made Nintendo a huge amount of money because it appealed to younger generations.
27. There are people who say the N64 is for little kids but there are plenty of games designed for us teenagers and adults. Like CBFD, Perfect Dark, Resident Evil, Turok series.
28. The n64 is probably one of the best looking consoles in the world. It looks so cool sitting under your telly. It’s also easily recognizable. The Playstation 2 looks like a cheap VCR at a glance.
29. I used to look in Nintendo mags and se rendered pics. I knew they wouldn’t look like that on the N64 but all that will change with the arrival of the Cube. Its graphics are as good as the rendered drawings you see in mags.
30. Both the N64 and GC have controllers that have been designed for comfort whereas the playstaion ones are still the same and are uncomfortable.
31. With the GC Nintendo improved the controller to add an increased level of gameplay
