What are Nintendo's online plans?
We don't know, but the big cheese's in the gaming industry do and this includes Microsoft. Microsoft have been told by Rare or just have suspecions of Nintendo's marketing plans and Microsoft stated that they are very cunning and that they have something incredible up the sleeves.
Rumours surrounding online play through the newley announced GBA player add on to the Gamecube could well be it. Online GBA games? Addictive and fun games that require very little bandwidth etc... or nintendo maintance? It could be terrifyingly possible and may kill X-box off in Japan that hopes X-box Live could help increase dwindeling sales in the land of the rising sun.
Thought you aught to know.

Christ, you're going to be lonely on the Nintendo forum with an attitude like that - open minded ? Think you'll have to explain that word to some of your komrades ;)
Not surprised you come onto the Xbox forum :)

I'm prepared to keep an open mind, but there's no denying some of the negative comments that have been flying around about Rare at the moment.
Grow up Dringo.
Companys make mistakes, Some people like Starfox, others don't. You got that?
Nintendo have released quite a few crappy games throughout their lifetime, so what?
Rare are set to be making some top class games on the Xbox and I for one are looking forward to them.

I think that 3 years and millions of Nintendo pounds and Rare couldn't make a good game... the most reknowned company couldnt make good game in over 3 years????
I'd be worried. Starfox is one of those games like the game the team made perviously Jet force Gemini, some loved it and some loathed it like Marmite... you didn't oh well what a boo hoo shame... I think Mario Sunshine was better than Mario 64 by a lot, not as revolutionary but more fun.

I still say that ANYONE saying Starfox was effectively a Microsoft game is deperate and clutching at straws.

Christ, that was just a quick comment - I wasn't expecting anyone to read anything into it. Rare ARE Microsoft, so effectively, it's true.

I doubt it. Vice City's just about on par with Starfox Adventures - that didn't stop it selling did it?

Making things up? I think not. You blatently did not accept my opinion, even when I voiced it fairly. In fact, you replied in quite a hostile way:
