I am talking about Nintendo here, and although they have 5 more major games coming out I thik that Nintendo fans will have to look back and re-live the magic of the older games, many people don't have TWINE or Pokémon Snap and these are the games that we as Nintendo fans will have to play, of cours if you get al of these major 5 games: Banjo, Conker, Paper Mario, Indiana Jones and Battle for Naboo then you should be okay for a while but the chances of one person getting all these gamnes are slim, and if chances don't metter then the probability of this happening is VERY low, we won't see a PAL Gamecube in our living rooms until christmas or as near as damn it!
So what are the games you should go back to, we will all check out superman obviously...:D But there must be a 'classic' that you have missed.
I don't think that both of the Zelda's are classics, I mean the first one is great but the second seem too dark and gloomy and depite being very Ocarina of Time-ish it doesn't live up to the standard!
Banjo-Kazooie is a good one and if would be a GREAT idea to pick this game up now to fill you in on the storyline, the second one follows on from this one exactly and in all reality you have got to play Banjo-Kazooie first, for your own fun's sake!
Perfect Dark - The hype about this game was massive and accoring to most people it was worth the wait but with bond not on the cover or even in the game...the options in PD don't make up for Jimbo's absence in my book!
I do think that if there is anyone, heaven forbid, who hasn't got/played Mario 64 on their N64, they need shooting, but only after they have played this game. The problem with most gamers is that they weigh up other peoples opinions of games and determine whether they buy the game from them, instead of renting or borrowing the game. Everyone tells me that Pokémon Snap is a waste of time and money but I don't think it is, the game has great graphics and i very original and will always lift you out of your boredom!
Pokémon Staduim, if you are a long-time fan of turn based war games and GBA Wars is too far away then try this for size, I know it is Pokemon but you can't just pick Charizard or Blastoise and Kick some booty, you have to plan it out if you want to get far! Rent It if you're unsure!
Another 'Classic' is Donkey Kong 64, From the pits of the coding room in the Rare Complex, Twycroos, England comes the 3D version of the legend that is Donkey Kong, the game is massive and although the multiplayer isn't great you can play the main mode over and again almost as much as Mazza's SM64. Lasts along time even if you play it once!
So I think that the future of the N64 will include 6 major games (Above and Incl. Pokemon Stadium GS) and a major Price drop only to pave the way for the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance, I think Nintendo have done well with the N64 and thanks to committed developers like Rare and even Nintendo themselves, not forgetting Pikachu and the Gang we have seen one hell of a console, But why am I saying this now, Bring Me Conker and Banjo!

I rmemerb game over... it wasnt a bad game from what I remember? Good enough to spawn a sequal I think... though I suspect that the scatily clad airbrushed woman on the box was a steong selling point... I seem to rememerb it kept me looking at the ad for a longer than average time :)

I do the same... I start off with the best intentions... but by the end I've started speed reading, and picking up only the words that I recognise... SNES, etc... :-)
I like to see peoples reactions to long posts.
I don't like them too long though, I get bored half way through reading them if they are!

I always think longs posts are Gameaday attempts... especily if there serious :)
I know, it just goes to show how bored I am, I don't mean to post long posts and most of it is just a load of opinions and rubbish, but hey, until I figure out something interesting to post on this 'crap' will have to do!
Sorry

No offence game but I find a lot of our posts quite boring! you should make it less tense more jokes, not so long and change of subject now and again!
