Many people loved Nintendo in the early days, Many of you will remmember playing Donkey Kong on the old Game and watch systems and (don't tell me you didn't loved it) and you would of thought boy Nintendo rule.

Many of you would of got yourself a NES and after playing the early Zelda and Mario games you would of said boy Nintendo rule.

Some of you would of got a Sega but many of you still would of got the good old SNES played Super Mario world and Killer instinct and then you would of said boy Nintendo rule.

But then came Playstation and many of the people who said boy Nintendo rule suddenly said that's enougth and said boy Playstation rule.

That is fine many people grow out of things and Nintendo may of been one of them. But some people who go boy Playstation rule also say and Nintendo suck. Do you really think that? Do you really hate Nintendo after they looked after you as a kid? Are they like your parents loved them when you were young but now you hate them?

Please try and remmember what Nintendo did for you and please stop writting "Why Nintendo will fail like the Dreamcast" I say this but it works both ways Nintendo fans stop dissing Playstation.

These machines both make people happy and if they do that then there can't be anything wrong with them now can they?

Here's to the future

Wasn't Mario a carpenter briefly? Somewhere at the beginning of his career?

Not that it matters. We haven't seen a decent plumbing title from him yet.

Hey don't say that about Superman. he's a great guy who helps a lot of people. You must be Lex Luthor if you hate him so much.

I won't go into what's wrong with the Playstations but, this is true. If you enjoy playing a game what's wrong with that? (Unless you like superman then you need help).

You've got a point Dringo, many people have wrote off Nintendo. Thinking that Sony and Microsoft will rule the next Generation roost! However industry insiders know that Nintendo are alive and healthy, Sega themselves are now openly admitting theyre working with Nintendo on a number of Titles that should appear on GameBoyAdvance and Gamecube.
Nintendo have a lot of profitable Franchises, games that people follow like a religion and will make them buy that system e.g. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon. These give Nintendo an advantage over the other manufacturers.
Sega are now working with Nintendo on an RPG that will contain the mascots of both companys...Mario and Sega side by side, Princess getting it on with Sonic, well soon it will be a reality.
Nintendo is going to blow Microsoft away! Because to sell a game you need a character, Solid Snake is bigger than MetalGearSolid, LaraCroft is bigger than TombRaider! Mario is bigger than any one game, the same is true of Pikachu..if you make a game with either character in it sells buy the bucketload even if its only an average game!
If Microsoft produces average games, nobody will buy the X-box...not unless the X-box creates a star, and thats not easy! So Nintendo has the upper hand!
