How long do people think the N64 has left to live?
With games like Perfect Dark, Zelda: The Continuing Sage, Turok 3, A Resident Evil game, Top Gear Rally 2, and a bunch of other wicked games this year. How long will the N64 live for? Specially with the PS2 and Dolphin on the horizon how much longer can the N64 last?
Cooky
Because Nintendo has been accused of collaborating with these distributors to sell hardware at a fixed rate, where discounts may have been offered.
A spokesman for the EC said
" The commision believes that the companies concerned participated in a 'cartel-like arrangement.
Be it true or not, I am the only one that thinks this is ridiculous???
I hope you find this info useful

Hints
Colored Pokemon:
To change the colors of your pokemon try changing the names. For example; use lower case letters (ie: poliwhirl) change the syllables (ie: Drillbee) or just plain leave a part out (ie: pika). This can really alter the Pokemon's looks...you can even get a Pink Mewtwo!
Rent Mew:
Beat the Gym Leader Castle, plus beat all the cups in Masterball and you will have unlocked a new gaming mode and a new rental pokemon. Mew is now a rental pokemon. He can only be used in prime cup, Gym Leader Castle, and Free Battle (prime cup rules only). You will also have a new title screen.
If Nintendo could make a game with lots of puzzles like Tombraider but with a realistic more realistic story line, and lots of really good scheneries and weapons and all this with the wicked N64 grapics, could be a reciepe for a truely excellent game!

But I would like to point out a few things that nintendo should consider for their dolphin super console
1: people want new ideas, not sequels to games, especially if they are rubbish
2: Nintendo have recently started converting OLD PSX games to the N64.
If people wanted these games they would have either bought a PSX or the PC conversion. For example, Metal gear solid, in my opinion a rubbish game, is now being brought to the N64. An even better example is tomb raider. People have decided for or against Tomb raider about 2 years ago. The PSX now has 4 TOMB RAIDER GAMES(!) and nintendo is bringing out the first???. My point exactly.
3: Somebody spoke about Nintendo bringing out 'same idea games' and games aimed at small children. The console market must learn to accomadate the older gamers in our community. For example the PSX has more than a handful of 18 rated games whereas nintendo have only a few. Although I am loyal to Nintendo, and fend off PSXers remarks, I feel that they could do a LOT better.
4: I feel that Nintendo could have turned the stream of new PSX buyers after the N64's launch into a trickle by advertising more in the early stages of the Nintendo 64's life.
If Nintendo had taken the above points into consideration, they would have more money in their pockets and more people would be enjoying N64's
So, if anyone from Nintendo reads this, please take these points into consideration for the Dolphin, it's in your best intersts, not mine!
If anyone agrees/disagrees with what i've said, please let me know.
That is all I have to say.

The void for the games is there, why do Nintendo refuse to fill it?
