"Why the gamecube isn't great!"

Nintendo are accused of being akiddy, simplist company. To some extent this is correct... and they have promised to change.

They immediately produce a brightly coloured console with a controller that looks like action man's bazooka. Smooth move!

Wedgie!

Any suggestions about what can and should be done to Sniper are also welcome.

dammit come onto MSN FM i need to talk planetarion right now!

A console could look like a brick for all I care, as long as it does the job it really doesn't matter to me. When you play games, you don't really admire the smooth contours and streamlined outline of your Nintendo, you prefer to keep your eye on the screen you are playing the game on.

But your initial point was VERY valid. There are many gamers like myself, who have what can only be called a prejudice about Nintendo (let's call this the 'kiddie' factor). Now we all now that Nintendo 'initially' aimed itself at the younger gamer, and that they are now trying to rectify this image, but that negative exposure of 'kiddie' is still imprinted in the minds of those of us who prefer the DC or the PSX.

As yet, Nintendo still haven't done anything to help to avert this prejudice, and they really do need to do something quickly. I admit that this prejudice is only in my mind, it's not a rational prejudice (if there is such a thing), but whilst it is still there, I will not be looking at the GC, but at the X-Box as my future console.

Any suggestions about what Nintendo can and should do should be welcomed.

Even though this was a joke my point is still as it stands.

Also I don't think that it looks stupid, but i guess it's a matter of personal opinion.

I like the childish look of the games.

It doesn't make them any less playable.

I don't need countless gore and violence in a game to enjoy it.

Also, as a parent I don't want my daughter to watch violence. So if I want to play games, I'll choose a Nintendo to do it on.

whats a joke?

It's a joke!

ok so obviously you have gone crazy!
This console does not look childish in back or silver.

Its up to you if you get the Pink one, but then only youcan be blamed
