"Nintendo told go Multiplatform or face ruin"

Mario and Zelda on PS2 as strange as that sounds their could be more truth in it than you think.

Nintendo have been told by some heavyweight financial advisers that they should develop software for other platforms or face financial ruin.

It would appear that the poor GC sales are starting to bite with developers getting increasingly worried about the GC continued poor performance and the lack of software sold because of this.

Producing for Xbox and inparticular PS2 would add a much bigger user base up instead of the limited one they have now makes sense to me. If Nintendo was able to make more money from software they might be able to produce more quality titles rather than the tripe they do at the moment, hell it might even help Nintendo to sell more GC.

Nintendo are bringing out their Broadband adaptor soon. All the Ninty fan's will be jumping up and down, unable to contain them selves at the prospect of multi-player Mario over broadband. PS2 and XBox will do it better thanks to better throughput performance where the broadband connects to the console - but that won't stop the Ninty fans from claiming that their console is superior. I am not saying, Broadband on GC will be really slow while the XBox and PS2 are going to run many time's faster - nothing that dramatic - but when most will not have seen the XBox and PS2 doing it better, it's easy to see why Ninty fan's will be so impressed with what they have.

Well there's Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime is quite original by all accounts. I guess originality is just hard to come by these days, and by looking at the PS2 charts, I think that sentiment is especially true.

So the GTA Series is original?

The Getaway is original?

Pro-Evo 2 is original?

Burnout 2 is orignal?

--------------------

Name some real original PS2 games, you know entirely new concepts that haven't been used before!

ie

Pikmin

Now go away and play with your PS2, you spend all day worshipping it, but never seem to play it, you're always on here writing crap!

Harsh reality check here Top Score, you're not gonna get anywhere in life by calling people Fanboys for no aparrant reason when you are clearly one yourself!

Play games and stop being such a tart...

Here is an idea instead of spending money on the same old cr@p, zelda and mario why not do something original you know the way Nintendo used to be.

You can't get gaming perfection delivered to your console every week. Great games take time, so some waiting has to be endured, but that waiting will be worth it for great games like Metroid Prime, Zelda, Mario Kart etc.

I can't hear you Top Score...

You voice is too high and squeeky, my dog jumped off the floor though at the sound of your voice...

Wait until they drop, then you'll see a whole new concept to life...

Updated, read what I wrote to Top Score...

It applies to you too!

Theres more to life than your PS2...

You Ninty fanboys always come up with the same line

"there are some great games coming in the next few months"

Don't you ever get bored waiting?

So can we expect Nintendo to drop plans for the GameCube replacement then? Mind you, what ever happened to the Dreamcast 2? I seem to recall that was going to be the first Broadband only console (ie, you would have to download all the games).

The commercial success (or lack of it) does make a difference. If the console only attracts a small number of customers, the user base will be too small, and developers will start losing interest in it. It won't be worth it for them to make games for that format. This has already started to happen, although the fact that it has happened is of more concern than the actual games lost. What happens when more popular games get axed from the format? Where will your next "killer app" title's come from?

Top Score, come back here when your testicles drop and that you can worry about other things in life other than your PS2...

You're such a tart...

Go on, make love to your console!
