They have the money to make a new console, but not just for the sake of staying in the console race. They need to carry on with a solid budget plan rather than throw money at promoting a new console when they haven't finished with the last one.

That's the thing. I doubt that the N5 will have anything that innoative, and they seem to be rushing to keep up with MS and Sony who can just pile money in and throw in loads of features at a loss.

I think that Nintendo should go one further and ignore the Xbox2 and PS3 because these machines will barely impress gamers because they will offer little more than improved graphics and more features outside gaming.
The only real step forward will be the standardisation of online play.

Maybe. Going wireless sounds promising but what will the N5 offer that will make punters want to splash out on a whole new console.
They should leave it until there's nothing left they can do with the Gamecube. By then they will have collected a HUGE amount of idea's and innovations and technology will have moved a decent step.
That way, when the new Nintendo came out, there would be a more noticable improvement.
What's more, if they keep up the Gamecube as an alternative budget console, it'll find it's way into everyone's homes eventually, and that will grab more fans for the next generation than ANY amount of advertising will.

The only part of REremake that scared me were the crimson heads....
RECV scared me more mainly because those spiders seemed far more evil and i hate spiders... I cringe every time they appear in the game.
The snake looked funky in the remake.

The shark tank had to take the cake though, funking well freaky when it kept banging into the glass trying to smash it and then when you drained it and went over to the far end to de-activate the door lock... Scared the testicles out of my sack.

The whole twins thing in Code Veronica was freaky as hell, it was the closet to psychological fear in the series which is what made the original Silent Hill so damn good.
It has the greatest storyline... the scariest looking spider....
And the most messed up family ever... Nosfaratu ruled.
But yes Lisa Trevor in the remake made it all worthwhile.

The remake pips it for me purely because it did a fantastic job of re-creating the classic that started it all off. Code Veronica though is probably the most exciting in the series and probably the longest when it boils down to it.
All resi games are good but Code Veronica is the best in the series...
I have both the Dreamcast and Gamecube version now.

All the Resi games I've played, in particular 0 and the remake have been sublime.
But this is beyond sublime - this looks just.......
Amazing!
