"why nintendo should just give up!!"

This is not meant as a big offenisve remark to people who really love nintendo and the nintendo company but i feel that it is about time that they should give up on the larger game console market. Throughout the years nintendo have always been second best to some other game consoles(that you must all admit), first it was that the master system and the megadrive which clearly overtook the market from nintendo. Now we have the playstation and PS2 and do nintendo seriously think that the Game Cube will be able to stand up against the PS2, in my own opinion the PS2 should outsell the game cube my popularity alone, and games made for it (eg Gran Turismo 3) Could sell the console by themselves. This, compared to the cutsie, sickening twaddle(Mario, Kurby etc...)that has been presented to the world by Nintendo and their associates, will once again send Nintendo's Game Cube scuttling back to it's creators all bloodied and bashed in the same way that the Playstaion duffed up the "more advanced" N64. Every time i walk into my city centre "GAME" shop there is always someone trading in a nintendo64 for a playstation or PS2, never the other way around. I have seen what the nintendo64 could do and to be honest i was not impressed, the graphics were shoddy and blured and the games are still on cartridges!!! aren't nintendo going to learn that cartridges were years ago and gamers have moved onto discs, will the game cube be still on cartridge. I do admit that the gameboy has been very successfull, luckly for nintendo, but look at the new gameboy advance. The technolgy that is being here was being used in the early 90's by sega's game gear (remember that?) and the graphics were still better then as they didn't use a dot matrix screen and it could double as a portable TV, plus the new gameboy advance does strangly look like the poor old game gear.

yeah i know im not trying to take the credit away from u,

*ahem* it was me who proved him wrong.

Doh Nights looks like u were wrong and i was right, thatll teach you to mess with me ha ha ha ha :0)

NiGHTS, the music stored on a PSone disc is actually of a higher bitrate than an N64's. Higher quality channels are useless, because you can't store high quality sound on an N64's cartridge, there's just not enough space.

Yes, I have played Zelda 64 and the music could easily be improved. I play my games through a high quality sound system (seperates) and the difference in quality is very noticable. Sound, especially music, is a very important part of a game.

yes i have played the game and sorry i was wrong im not really intrested in the N64 specification i just play games on it okay, anyway i didnt realise and thats probably why i said that i couldnt see how they could improve on the sound, anway i now know not to open my big mouth okay Mr Statistics.

what??? Why did it not have cd quality sound? The N64 has better sound processors than the PSX, allowing as many channels as you want (with 1% CPU usage per channel). Which is far better than PSX's "CD quality"!

Have u ever played the game?

NiGHTS!

obviously the N64 didn't have CD quality sound but i can't see how they could have improved the Zelda music in anyway.

BTW Silk, if the N64 had CD-quality sound you'd only be able to fit about a minute onto a cart and that's not including the game.

Ha. Mr Ninty President is indeed a strange person. Bit on the mad side.

is that why they wanted to make games for the gamecube but Mr yamauchi or whatever his name is denied them.
