The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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.

"Nothing intersting, just some weird ideas."
What?
These "Weird Ideas" are innovation and everyone who's played them say that they work a treat as a new gaming experience.
There's Nintendo's Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion.
I've yet to see a PS2 which combines originality and quality as well.
There's Sega's very own Monkey Ball as a launch game.
And there's a giant line up of titles within a few months to come with it.
And if you prefer tried and tested clones of Sports games and beat em ups and F1 games then EA will have a neat line up for you by the time it's launched here.
If you don't want to get a Gamecube because you're a Sony zealot then just say.
No need to make up silly excuses like that. :-D

Just thank God it's better than the N64 launch!
Actually, I'm very disappointed with the GC launch. I was actually going to get one, after hearing all the good news, then I saw the launch and nearly spat out my tea! There is not one single title, launch or coming, that interests me in the slightest. There's nothing really innovative, just some weird ideas. Nintendo have become complacent, and a lot of PS2 games have much cleverer ideas. Also, I have noticed that a couple of Shigsy's ideas have been nicked from earlier games, but more on that later.

Nothing wrong with that, i own a ps2 and the point i was trying to make was i wonder if Gamecube would get the same critism as ps2 if it had the same kind of launch games.
Actually, I was just about to say that the PS2 was an ideal launch...
(bear with me on this one...)
There were a couple of triple A games (don't ask me what... but there were some).
There were a few games to show off graphics
and the rest were aimed at casual gamers in order for them to buy buy buy!
What is so wrong with that?

I wonder if the Gamecube will have the same responce PS2 did with its lack of launch titles?
