It always annoys me when someone says that "Nintendo is all crap kiddies games."
It's obvious that they're a bit dim.
One of the worst things is that they got it for a GOOD reason. They got it for making good games.
Let me explain:
The Playstation has just as many if not more childish immature games than the gamecube.
But Nintendo still has the reputation. Why?
Well, the PS ones are pretty rubbish. They're designed for kids and kids only and are more often than not cheap spin offs from TV cartoons.
There have been a couple of decent platformers say Crash or Spyro but nothing particularly special.
Nintendo's platformers on the other hand are exceptional. They're so playable, skillful, simple and fun that everyone who plays them loves them.
Because of this they get as much magazine and TV coverage as the red certificate games.
People see all these cartoony characters related to N64 and immediately think "This console is for kids. We've grown out of those sorts of games!"
In reality, Nintendo has less cartoony games than the playstation and compare a Nintendo "kiddie" game to a PS one.
The Nintendo one is more challenging, playable, skillful, fun and original.
It's not that the N64 has more cartoony games, it's just the only console where they're good enough to be noticed.

They'd better not make it a First Person Shooter though...
Here's some new on Metroid Prime which I've just nabbed from my favourite Nintendo source:
Leaks from Texas-based development Studio Retro Studios allege that the company's anticipated first-person action-adventure Metroid Prime will be previewed at Space World 2001, but the game won't be playable.
Prime, unveiled for the first time at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2001 last May in Los Angeles, was displayed only in pre-rendered full-motion video form. The Space World 2001 demo, at least, will show in real-time, say insiders.
"Metroid looked good enough to show live footage [at E3], but Nintendo chose not to use it," a company source told IGNcube. "The Space World reception will be very important to [Retro's] company morale. Nintendo has decided Metroid will not be playable there. It will show gameplay footage on video instead."
The project, which is moving along after the recent layoffs, is scheduled for a third quarter 2002 release, according to those closest to the title.
There ya go!

To answer your question, Indian-DudeY2K, every 3 months, a person in this forum is elected to become a notable. These are the guys that make these forums a 'special place'.
Oh, and er-no, I certainly hope that Metroid Prime is a real scary game as I haven't had one of them in a while. However, I seriously doubt that's the reason they didn't show any in-game footage at E3. Perhaps the fact that the team cancelled Raven Blade hints at the real reason? Hmmm?

Flashbacks of Perfect Dark in my head... oh, that's just my dream with Ms. Dark.

Metriod is already said to be a 18 rated game... before the final touches are done... its said to be a dark and horrific game that would make any gamer soill themselves!
With the game you get two free pairs of pants!

Something that the PS2 is lacking right now - where are the cutesy PS2 games? (Or rather, where are the PS2 games with more colours than just black and dark brown?)
