Well, they are... and it's not just games.

Look at the Wave Bird Controller... Oh how i'm gonna have so much fun changing to my brothers frequency and crashing him into a wall or jumping him off a cliff!

And what about the graphics in Luigi's Mansion - Top stuff! It takes guts to go all out are try to make a top quality game.... with the ever increasing pressure building up on developers for fancy graphics to accompany the games' varied gameplay, some developers can't 'cut it'... but Shigsy's blade is sharper than a proffessor in play school -he is the man.

And I know how you PS2 and X-Box boys and Bonus complain saying... "Oh, Shigsy is the only decent guy there!..."

Wrong! Rare are there too and they're Nintendo through and through - in fact Nintendo OWN Rare.

Also, look at the Gamecube.... hardly well endowed with fancy features and trimings! But was Arnold Schzwzazrzzzeznzeggzezr? No, he's an ugly git, but still, he's kick many peoples butt's over the years! The Gamecube is just a MONSTER! biding his time until.. Bam!! He eats the defenseless victim, like a cat does to a mouse on Mrs Tipkiptonson's patio!

Nintendo is the epitome of Innovation... sure Sony have GT2.5 and Red Faction, but racing in a car and blowing up stuff is hardly anything new!

Ever controlled flower thingys to find parts of your GT3 car? No, but Nintendo fans will get to control flower thingys to find their spaceship! Spaceships are much better than cars anyway... I mean Apollo 13... could be a car! Was it? No! Button Moon... they could have had a car-like buggy! Did they? No! A spaceship!

And what's this.. The Bouncer.... the only thing that game did was bounce itself out of the charts! SSB: Melee will show the world how a side-scrolling beat 'em up should play!

And don't think for ONE SECOND that the PS2 has an alternative for StarFox Adventures -that will be the best game of 2002 without a doubt, unless Perfect dark 2 (RThe MGS2 beater!) comes out!

You see Nintendo are all about bringing imagination to life... Sony are all about putting JoKES on CD's and pawning them off as games! There hasn't been anything groud-breaking on the pS2 as of yet... Red Faction is just another shooter! GT3 was Gt2 with 3D back-grounds... (And you thgouht Ninties didn't know what they were!) Onimusha is just a old version of resident evil where you have to save a chinese bird!

Ive strayed from the subject which i'll now change from Nintendo the Innovators to 'Take that PlayStation!

People will soon (1 month) realise that Nintendo offer good, fun to play, funny, graphically ound, and cool games much easier than Playstation...

Most PS2 owners have the console for a fancy DVD player (than can play the odd BBB title when it comes out!) The PS2 is a dying cause... it was a mere bridge between the Dreamcast/PSX/N64 to the Gamecube, or maybe X-Box... there are muchy better consoles available today for a much lower price. Dreamcast, N64, PSX (and GBA) PS2 just can't cut it! I'm not being biased it's true... the PS2 struggles to persuade the sensible gamer! Does this mean all PS2 owners are thick? Maybe.

^_^

Game: Off on a rant...
Excuse the spelling mistakes.. I can't be bothered to check it!

Like fun it did, my boy... PIKMIN isn't out in JAP until October, late. Wave Race was the third game.

Don't forget though about the timing of the launch.

The 'Cube was released after this terrible event in the US, and while that may not have stopped people buying it, the possibilities of world recession may well have made a few people think twice before splashing out on something like a games console....

So all you're interested in is graphics then eh?

Don't like it because it has a 2D background?

Thats pretty pathetic to be honest Ant, I expected more from you.....

You guys seem to ge forgetting what a Ninty is!

1 - Someone who hates Playstation.
2 - Someone who doesn't mind admitting bright colours are good in games!
3 - Someone who has respect for long standing members of the gaming industry
4 - Someone who hates Playstation
5 - Someone who doesn't give in to the seduction of non-SONY games on the PS2
6 - Someone who agrees that the top PS2 games aren't good.
7 - Someone who has no faith in MGS2 and rebukes it - Metal Gear My Arsé
8 - Someone who likes funny, cool games.
9 - Someone who hates Playstation
10 - Someone that can laugh when they KNOW that Nintendo are Better than Playstation and that they'll prove it when the time is right!

Nintendo are best....

We need to get the back-bone back into the Ninties of the FOG!

We are at war, Ninties. Microsoft are sitting on the fence with very little man power, either way they go doesn't matter, but we need to group up and take out the Playstation losers! We have better games, we make more money in gaming out consoles is cheaper, and their consoles is alrady 'old hat' - Boys.... let's take them out!

I also wouldn't mind getting a Gamecube aswell, and I like the look of Dead or Alive 3 on the Xbox. Wether I do buy them in the end is a completely different matter.

As with any system, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Gamecube's can be exploited and if you like it, buy it. If you like the PS2's advantages, buy it. I had an N64, then I bought a PS2, why, because at the time these are the systems I preferred to anything else on the market.

And Meka too, of course.

I can always count on the fire-breathing dragon for some intellectualism. :D

Meka Dragon makes a good point also, and if Nintendo fans were like him, then there wouldn't be all of this bias.

I own a PS2, and I am very impressed by the games being released at the moment. I also like what I see of the Gamecube.

If I am fan of anything, it is playing games, no matter what console they are on. As long as they are good and fun to play, I am happy.
