Yes but as a big Sega fan I wasn't going to let anyone go by the misconception that SMB is a Nintendo creation. :-)

Nintendo as in the consoles not as the company... he was using Nintendo to describe the entire company...

Monkey Ball is an exclusive Gamecube title...

Thusly further proves his point that Nintendo is for kids....

The company certainly isn't for kids.

Doesn't take chuck berry.

Of course Monkey Ball is a Sega game, but you knew that right.

You'll be surprised at my generation, the more daft and stupid a game looks the more they want to play it.

My girlfriend couldn't wait to come over and play Monkey Ball... and as she played it she was giggling all the way through it. Fantastic laugh.

My brother is the same, he'll tell me Monkey Ball further proves his point that Nintendo are for kids... then he gets his mates round for a blast of Monkey Bowling... before declaring he doesn't like it.

Genius.

The game will get boring after a while like every other game I own... it's no different... the multiplayer means it will be dusted off now and again...

Soul Calibur 2, Timesplitters 2, Mario Kart: DD, Worms 3D... all games I've completed and they get dusted off for a bit of Gamage.

Donkey Konga is set to be a fantastically addictive good laugh. It has had posititive reviews left right and centre and sold very well in Japan, it looks set to be one of Gamecube's best releases this year next to Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime 2 and Pikmin 2.

I cannot wait.

Flawed logic.

It's obvious this game is aimed at the general masses and not at hardcore gamers (unless you're a dance mat fetishist or something). It does look like a novelty game that will tire quickly, perhaps it won't be, but experience leads others to believe that it will.

Mind you though I can't comprehend why people drool over the eyetoy, the games look about as appealing as sandpaper loo rolls! ;D
