Although what my title says is true i'm actually talking about Kirby tilt and tumble.

How flippin excellent is that game. All developers slightly improve certain genres like Timespitters improving the Shoot 'em ups with the multiplayer map maker and Perfect dark with its counter operative mode. Yet Nintendo always make something completley mad.

Pokemon Snap for example Nintendo knew Pokemon sells loads and so does shooters but how can they combine the two (They have made every other type of game with Pokemon in it). They can't have Pikachu blowing Blastoise's brains out so what do they do turn a Gun into a camera.

Kirby tilt and tumble is yet another ingenious idea from the Nintendo camp. Tilt the gameboy one way and Kirby rolls that direction. One game I never imagined is one of those handheld marble maze games on a Game system. There is actual bad guys to defeat it isn't simply a maze game it is a rolling platformer.

8 levels not including bonus in one of those must get Nintendo Gameboy games. It has an inbuilt sensor so when you tip Kirby rolls, and with spikes ready to poke Kirby if he gets to close it involves perfect tipping.

Heres to the future and Nintendo making origonal games like that it looks as if the future of gaming will be great.

Kirby tilt and tumble will be class and i've decided the future isn't orange but purple!

Nintendo arent the only developers to try stuff new!!! Look at Sega, they try new stuff just as much as Nintendo. To be honest the companies that look least like trying stuff new are sony and microsoft, and that is becasue they arent games companies, whereas Sega and Nintendo are.

I disagree although Sega are great they copy an awful lot!
Look at the Dreamcast controller with its Z trigger hmmm origonal.

Sega are differnt from Sony and Microsoft though as when Sega copy the make a deceant game.

(I love Sega and they do think up origonal ideas but it is Ninty who excel in that department)

Nintendo do have great ideas, but sometimes really bad ones too. Why did they decide to keep the N64 with cartridge games that cost double the price of CD games on the playstation?

What!?!? How can you say that? The Sega idea of analogue triggers is just a natural progressino form the Nintendo controller.

What you've said is like saying that Nintendo copied Sega by deciding to release a machine capable of more than 16bits!

Price had nothing to do with it Nintendo helped Phillips with the Phillips CDI and like the Saturn it flopped Nintendo wasn't sure it was a good idea to switch to CD's after that so they didn't but it ended up that it might be best if they did.

(Although I prefer Carts to CD's)

Why do you prefer carts to CD's? CD's are cheaper and can hold alot more information so gaming worlds can be bigger and textures can be alot more detailed as well.

The only good thing about carts is that they load quickly, but that doesnt really bother me too much.

Gameswise... yes, Nintendo and Sega. Both great at trying new things...

Sega I think are the best mind. Not many games will use a virtual marraca.

Carts don't break

Carts don't need to load

Carts don't make noise

Carts don't cause the system to burn out

Resident Evil 2 took two Cd's but one Cart

Carts can be as big as they make them

I go for quality not quantity

Only problem in my mind is Music and Videos

But there should be no need for Videos and The music is still good on Carts

I get a deacent (Zelda the best game ever) N64 game for a Tenner Carts are expensive are they

Nintendo and Carts for ever
