Well, here is a place where devoted Nintendo fans can concisely voice their views on what Nintnedo should do - realisticly of course, to improve sales, market profile (i.e in FHM, Mace Griffin is not on Cube, and there are no Cube ads, despite an excellent GBA SP one, and it says 'the millions they have lost on Gamecube' about Ninty) and most importantly dispel the ridiculous anti GC attitude.

I mean, Game Boy has a great name, but both the N64 and now the Cube (to a lesser but still worrying amount) are seen as rubbish.

Outline your proposals here. Petition anyone? Meh.....

I'm a nintendo fan. But I got into Nintendo stuff through Goldeneye. I want my games to look cool, shake an amazed/flabberghasted response out of me, and most importantly I want them to play well, have a multiplayer option and have good longevity.

I rate Mario 64 as a good game, but I would not buy it. I don't like platformers, I like adventure games, first person shooters and original multiplayer games.

This is why all 14 of my GC games I want to keep are multiplayer, this is also why I CANNOT STAND Rogue Leader and want to get shot of ASAP.

Pikmin appeals to me but would I purchase it over Lost Kingdoms? No.

Why? Because Lost Kingdoms has a 2 player mode.

I haven't even got around to buying Zelda yet. Because I'm too busy playing Brute Force in single player AND co-operatively.

All my GC games have multiplayer which is distanced from the main game. I want some games where you play through the mian game with 2+ player and I want it now!!! (PSO will be my next order by the way - more of this stuff please!)

Ok, other than proving my point, what exactly was the point in that post?

No. Online play is an overratted experience. Personally I couldn't care less.

Erm. I want Nintendo to push for more fulfilling multiplayer in their games? I also want these games to be amazing in one-player too (Think Halo or PSO).

I want to play the main game of F-Zero with 2 or more players (if this IS do-able then I will be glad, if not BOO! Hiss! etc).

When I get PSO I will be getting the modem and paying the damn fees.

I own all three.

I haven't played on any of them in the last two weeks. Too busy, too much sun.

I hate SONY. I didn't used to hate SONY but I have learnt through experience of SONY products and marketing.
