"Naughty Nintendo!"

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..."

Lol.

If you'd looked at the Sonyjo URL FM produced, it might have caused a little suspicion to find Fantasy Meister in the web address.

:-D

I hope there will still be some quality games left at launch!!!!!

oh , ok , i geddit now.

They are special but you wouldn't know that because you took one look at the pictures and dissmissed them.

They bring forward new gaming ideas which work a treat according to any one who ACTUALLY PLAYED THEM.

It's your choice if you want to ignor them.
These titles are special and unique. Sony are probably trying to clone them as we speak.

You can dismiss them as weird idea and refuse to buy a Gamecube.

It's your loss. Not ours.

Nintendojo is a totally unbiased multiformat website that discusses the pros and cons of ALL formats, trying to inform users of which will be the best in the long run for each individual.

They reported the quote in my last post, the one in "quotemarks".

so what are you trying to say ? did sony say that or nintendo ?

The Sonyjo report was a spoof one written by me. :-)

It was in response to the real report from Nintendojo which went as follows (courtesy of Meka Dragon):

------------

"Several media outlets are reporting that Sony has sent memos to developers concerning future game projects. Apparently, Sony has been feeling the heat of the graphical power of GameCube and Microsoft's Xbox and the company has now advised developers to put more development time into creating better graphics and less time in developing lengthy gameplay experiences.

As consoles get more powerful, the video game industry has transformed into a visual presentation race. Sony's recent memo to stress graphics over gameplay is just a sign of the changing times."

Report from Nintendojo.

In which instance I am now quite happy to misquote:

"if Nintendojo , wrote this then what does it suggest ??? he/she are a biased nintendo console owner who want to get bad and untrue info into our minds , thinking and making us buy a Gamecube or something like that ."

if sonyjo , wrote this then what does it suggest ??? he/she are a biased sony console owner who want to get bad and untrue info into our minds , thinking and making us buy a PS2 or something like that . Also if you look at nintys website the GC line up isn't flooded with rubbish games , from the looks of things all of these games are of the highest quality , especially when nintendo only have them and the worlds greatest 3rd party developers out there ! creating games for their launch line up ! and someone on the ninty forum said that in digitiser in an interview with nintendo they said that nintendo werent allowing any old rubbish from average 3rd party developers onto the console at this time. case closed.

No, really, they're not innovative, just weird. There's nothing that makes me go "Wow" like MGS2, The Getaway or Dark Cloud made me do. Original they may be, but there's just nothing "special", either imminent or otherwise. I expected better from Nintendo, but sadly they haven't delivered.

This may be hard for you to accept, but I really was going to get one. £150 ain't bad, and there's bound to be a few good games, but when I read the launch lineup, I was disappointed. So now, I'm not going to get a GC just yet. I might wait a year and see what happens, but unless they produce something truly astounding, not just some Zelda or Resident Evil clone, The GC will remain very low down on my "to get" list.

Remember, the truth will eventually catch up with you: like Sega found out to its dismay.

What, that didn't mean anything, did it?
