Reports from various media companies and websites are indicating that Nintendo has sent out a memo to its development companies requesting that due to the heat of the upcoming console war increasing, that they are to concentrate on producing quick and easy games in abundance to make sure that there are enough titles at launch to attract the casual gamer, and to concentrate specifically on bright colours, cartoony graphics, anything that's quick and easy to get onto a disc and into the shops.
Developers were quoted as saying: "Nothing new there then..."

Nintendo aren't putting quantity over quality.
They're keeping the quality (the games we buy), and allowing some quantity too (3rd party games for impresive line up and casual gamers.)
I think they have it right.

Yeah, and they're all the better for it.
In all of nintendo's desperation to succeed in the upcoming console wars, they are finally sacrificing their lifelong policy: now, they are placing quantity over quality.

Nintendo games don't go by their looks.
It's only when you really imagine how they play.
Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Monkey Ball and Zelda all look pretty dodgy until you see them running.
Only then can you getan idea on how well they play.

Nah. Nintendo will probably prefer cloning the N64 games those PS2 titles cloned.
They know better than to copy an inferior version. ;-D

nintendo have publicly said that they are not trying to compete with sony. They make thier games different and unique.
Cant u tell that by just looking at the shape and color of the GC? ;-)

Tsk tsk, how little do you know. I actually spend a suprising amount of time on IGN (although I hate them) reading about upcoming GC releases, and I tell you, nothing has made me go "wow" in the same was as a lot of things on the PS2 did!

Fantavision was an interesting idea (a puzzle game about fireworks) but they didn't exactly make an exciting game out of it.
They took the basic idea and stuck with it which isn't bad but doesn't make it special.
Nintendo explore and expand an idea until they have the complete best out of it and a killer game title from it.
Sega also have this talent. Have you heard what they've done with Monkey Ball? (See Game's topic named: Meka Dragon).
No prizes for guessing why Sony aren't getting this game.

I think thats a rumour. started by a *sega* person.
Lol Resi if you say so!
sony do come up with some brilliant ideas, i've just bought fantavision and that's pure inovation. Sony do however take up some ideas from other companies but make them Sooooo much better.
