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!

The Gamecube has been released in Japan with 3 games. 3!!!!!!!!!!!! How pathetic. However good they may be there is still only 3! PS2 offers choice and great choice at that.
GT3 - Best driving game
MGS2 - umm...best game ever? I think so.
GTA3 - wow!

i could list at least 50 more but I wont bore you.

Fact is Ninty are a kids company with kids games and PS2 is a company with power that give the consumer choice and better games - N64/Playstation which one sold most? Yeah - half the power but a hell of a lot better!!!

PS2/Gamecube battle will be the same. GC will have a few good games but will have FEW games.

3 launch games...come on!!
Ninty have mario and ur ummmmmmmmmmmmmm mario??? PS2 has an endless list of great games.

5 years from now Ninty will be the new sega and joining the Sony bandwagon cus their console has sold real badly!!

I think these arguments are becoming petty as all people have their own opinions and like particular games.

We are just more mature than your average Ninty, so we know when your arguements become pointless and go play GT3 again :D
