The "Nintendo Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
What is it with some people? They come on here, they start topics, and they say 'such and such a console is better because it's got better graphics!' or 'this console is better than that because it's got such and such a game'. Can I just say:- WHAT A LOAD OF TRIPE!
First of all, I'm not trying to deny anyone out of their opinions. If you prefer one console to another, go for it, get the games, play it and if you want, tell the world about it! After all, it's even more fun when you can tell people about things, share the excitement and in turn, get more excitement from others.
Why is it, though, we get people judging consoles by the hardware and graphics. After all, the Nintendo 64 was better than the Playstation and look which one prevailed! Graphics aren't everything. Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 64 was one of the more popular titles on the Nintendo, yet if you take a look at the graphics, they're terrible! The game was fun to play and that's why it was popular - nothing to do with graphics. Sure, some games benefit with better graphics, but most games are just as good with a decent level of graphics as opposed to an excellent level of graphics.
"My console has Dolby 5.1 surround sound!" What do you want? A bloody medal? I couldn't care less what version sound my consoles have, providing they play sound. Sure, I personally prefer CD-quality music and clear sound effects, but I'm sure having the sound coming from your TV, coffee table and the other room isn't going to improve your gaming experience that much.
There are some features with consoles that do make them better. Having four controller ports instead of two is a hell of a lot better, and has been standard ever since the Nintendo 64. Sure, Sony seem to like making money out of multi-taps (which, although it doesn't make any difference really, is another idea copied from the Super Nintendo), but they really should consider having four ports on their next next-gen' console. Most people have a TV large enough to cope with up to four players simultaneously without anyone having problems seeing anyway, and being able to play with three other mates instead of one makes social gaming a lot more fun.
I just wish people would stop making stupid comparisons between consoles that don't actually make the consoles any better anyway. Sure, the X-box has a hard disk drive, the Playstation 2 has a DVD-drive, playable out of the box, and the GameCube has smaller discs, yet, those don't actually make the games any more fun to play! If anything, games were more fun when they were simple, like in the days of the Super Nintendo and MegaDrive!
Before anyone questions, the reason I posted this here is because I have noticed that more people are posting stupid "mine is better than yours" comments here, moreso than they are the Sony and Nintendo forums. Maybe those guilty of the above will read this, though it probably wont change them. They'll probably see the topic title and be ready for a console wars argument. If you're gonna play games - enjoy them, don't argue over them!

Scotty to Hotty for notable then?
I could not agree more, well done! People are hooked on graphics, they just make great game better, FF6, just as good as the others, graphics do not compete with FFX! See and the N64 as you said was not giving the credit because of Sony but both a great consoles!
Great post!
