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 you really have no experience with anything BUT nintendo do you, coming from a person who has had MANY MANY consoles nes,snes,dreamcast,PSX,PS2 etc I just want to state a point, Shut up wraps it up pretty nicely, Didn't it bother N64 owners to see all of the good snes games wonder off to have sequels on the PSX to leave the 64 with nothing but their own games??

I think the gamecube will be better if not by alot and I intend to get one, but why do ninty's have this ever flowing hatred for sony, i can't quite understand it, everything good about nintendo isn't given credit for, it's used in topic's like this to diss sony.
Both have their strong and weak points but these pointless console war topics go nowhere so here is a non biased, non offense shut up with the tiresome console wars and GIVE IT A REST :D

Have a nice day :)

Im sorry but I really do think the GC and Xbox launches will put the PS2 one to shame.

Look at the line up of games on the Xbox-Halo, Munches oddessy, JSR Furure and Dead or Alive 3 to name but four, each look stunning and of tripple A quality. What did the PS2 have? Um the quite good SSX and the dissapointing Tekken Tag which to be fair impressed very few people.

As for the GC line up, sorry but I know very little. Perhaps some of you Nintendo fans will comment.

It isn't because I hate PLayStation, but because the games on the Gamecube and even the X-Box are just so much better. They (the developers) have found such a tranquil medium between graphics and gameplay that really hit home.

Nintendo first party games have always been good, I doubt the GC-era will be any different.

Ico is a Sony First-Party game, and to be blunt, it looks crap!

True, true

Playstaion owners are an interesting breed.

I have never owned a playstaion. I hired one once. It was a birthday present to have it for 2 weeks.

After a few days it wouldn't play one of the games i had.

Eventually is began freezing and it took ages to loads.

Sony need to spend more time on their consoles making them user freindly.

Well, define 'original.' Luigi's Mansion is not original (Ghostbusters anyone?), and Pikmin is not my type of game. I would say games like Fantavision and ZOE are innovative. And hang on, what if we don't want something that's very original?
