"My Argument for Nintendo"

"The Year Nintendo fights back".
I'll stand by that.


Simply put, Nintendo is on to a darn good winner with the Gamecube-gaining support for its console from all quarters of the development community.
Put it this way, Nintendo's bones are made of pure solid Rock, they never give in to any competition that is thrown at them, possibly they have Yamauchi to thank for that, but either way, they are a Gaming force to put the wind up every Console Manufacturer that draws a breath on the market. There's no denying that.

How stubborn Nintendo are was evident with the Nintendo 64.
That Console was competing directly with the new found might that was the Playstation, effectively a new kid on the block. The PS wiped the floor clean- scooping up third party support from all corners of third party development, snatching Nintendo allies left right and centre such as Namco, Squaresoft, Enix and EA. But yet people from all corners of the earth where crying- "Nintendo is doomed" "The Nintendo 64 is on it's last legs" and yet this was 1998- Nintendo effectively gave a two finger salute regardless of the N64 sales and released the greatest game of all time being: 'The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time'.
Even after that groundbreaking release the Nintendo 64 console rate didn't reach peak high enough and still Nintendo carried on regardless, supporting Rare injecting them with cash and so forth.
The Nintendo 64 wasn't a failure, don't get me wrong, it just wasn't the groundbreaker what Nintendo had hoped it to have been.
The Sony Playstation was the most popular amongst developers, from a simple reason only: 'Nintendo did not abandon Cartridges', that Is why Sony are where they are today. Simply put- If Nintendo had of installed a CD Drive within the Nintendo 64, Sony's Playstation would have been dead long ago!. All the developers who jumped ship because of Nintendo's reluctance to go CD was what gave Playstation a start it needed. STRONG allies Square would have been with the big N if the N64 was CD, they said that themselves once back in 1996, Namco too would have stayed put, where then or atleast how would Sony have got a foothold then? It would have been hard, it probably would have been useless attempting!.
So how then will Nintendo dominate this year and claim back the limelight that it once held for a TV Console?
Simple really, it was Nintendo's choice back at the announcement of the Gamecube that it will be using DVD-like discs coupled with ease of development, once the announcement was made the developers jumping back on board started to build up month by month.
Already we have seen Namco's decision with Ridge Racer 6 being confirmed, as with Soul Calibur 2, then we have EA with their many titles, even if they are 'yearly' and 'samey' and we have once 'Playstation only' developers coming in for pickings too such as Naughty Dog and their corporate allies being Universal Studios.
And of course the news was that good at one stage that Squaresoft themselves expressed willingness to join up with the Big N to bring Final Fantasy back home, considering 9 Final Fantasies graced Nintendo consoles in the past.

But then I haven't mentioned once enemies Sega bringing many of their lucrative titles to the format, with Sega development house Sonic Team acknowledging that the Nintendo Gamecube is their system of choice- seeing of course Sonic the Hedgehog speeding around Nintendo confines is quite amazing.
Nintendo as Ive said before are back with a vengeance, Sony and indeed newcomers such as Microsoft 'Will Not' know what hit them, I really mean that and stick by that claim!.
I cant wait to see the reaction of the Sony Big wigs when Nintendo unleash it big time come Summer when already we will have seen Resident Evil 1 + 0 plus Nintendo's own being the Killer app 'Super Mario' and not to mention Rares own titles which I don't need to mention leading up to Christmas 2002 with another being Nintendo's the Legend of Zelda.
Really, believe me when I say it, Nintendo are serious this time. They are a lot stronger than what they where with the N64. They have the means to wipe the floor with the competition regardless of 'leads' and so forth, they have never in the companies history been in a healthier state than 'what it will be'. You'll see.

You are wrong! I forgot what this topic was about, and what you were even arguing about but you are still wrong!
MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

*Sibs scampers off to write more stories*

And still no one has said im wrong with a point to back themselves up.

I see now, cheers Dringo, he is the only one who mentioned the absurd remarks, im o.k now-the confusion has worn off, i feel a lot better. :)

Sonic Rav i am disgusted at you for putting down other people's work.

Sméagol has quite successfully pointed out that Nintendo have their own killer aps amongst killer aps that used to live on the Playstation. Sonic is saying this post and my post:

Share similar view points, now concentrate on what you write Sonic not on other peoples...

Ignore him Sméagol he doesn't know what he's on about.

WHERE?
Where exactly is this 'EXACT' topic to mine, I can't see it anywhere, the closest is the Dringo's referal to Capcom and Namco etc joining up, on down below, thats it.
Funny no-one else mentioned mine being 'Exactly' the same as Dringo's.
In fact where is Dringo? I'd like Dringo to answer to see if my Topic is 'Exactly' the same as his. You have totally lost me SonicRav!
I was running about like something confused and bewildered searching for it.

Well, Exactly now? I must get a read at this Dringo topic, a case of coincidence of just two minds think alike. Hold on to I go read his.

Well, the topic argues for EXACTLY the same thing as Dringo's topic. It contains half the points that he has put in his post, and even misses out some of the biggest ones!

So what exactly is the point in this!?!?

Sonic

Watered down? Like 'Diluted'?
I put the point across 'Clearly' and (I thought) 'quite well'. Too 'quite well', in fact, i havent had a decent debate about from Sony diehards it's possibly because I speak the truth.

I've gotta say that this is fa far far poorer than Dringo's topic, which, as well as being far more informative, actually puts points across for the argument you're trying to make!

Other than that, this is a watered down version of his topic!

Sonic

Right lets start it up again ; )
