I don't see why they shouldn't, it's the only reason Gamecube owners have kept the system for this long aside from RE, Eternal Darkess and other nuggets.

You're very much right, but you know what the problem with Nintendo's approach is? You ever had your favorite type ice cream? Let's say it's vanilla. You LOVE vanilla ice cream you'd eat till the cows come. Now let's say someone gives you that very opportunity. You're thrilled. You eat and eat to you're heart's content. Now all of a sudden someone says to you that vanilla ice cream is all you can eat, period.Quote:

Nintendo is probably banking on those system sellers to sell heavily while Microsoft is getting on by and building up their first party games and exclusives/time exclusives(Splinter Cell, MGS2:Substance, DTR).
"No problem" you think "I LOVE vanilla ice cream" So you eat...and eat..........and eat ................and eat ...................................... and eat ......................................................... and eat ...............................................................and suddenly you don't lke vanilla so much anymore, in fact you HATE vanilla because that's all you get.
And that's all nintendo has. The same old, stale ass vanilla ice cream they've making for years. Oh sure they've changed the formula from time to time, radically in some cases, but it's still vanilla.
Awhile back I remember Yoshi posting about a strange occurance happening while he was playing Mario Sunshine. In a nutshell he suddenly lost interest and began playing Jax and Daxter and found that he liked the "flavor" of J&D better. My guess is that he woke up and realized he was playing nothing more than a suped-up version of Mario64 with a water hose.
For their sake I hope you're right, but I seriously doubt it. Still waiting for that Kid Icarus sequel. When's Kirby gonna hit the GC in his own game? Is an original Fire Emblem title coming stateside? What about a GC Mother/Earthbound title? What happens to Donkey Kong after RARE jumps ship? See what I mean? Way too many unaswered questions.Quote:
Nintendo wants to get these big name hits out of the way to get to the new stuff hopefully and don't forget the GBA stuff, because it's a system too! :D
DOA 4 will sell. Possibly XBV, too. The others are not garunteed sellers. Nothing on your list will outsell Mario or Zelda. And I really want to know why people think Orta will sell Xboxes (besides to some of the holdouts on this board, remember people: WE AREN'T MAINSTREAM). It sure as hell didn't help the Saturn any.Quote:

I thought it was already announced.Quote:

Not on GC, but it seems like one is coming on GBA.Quote:

We might actually see a decent DK game for the first time in years?Quote:

My real question to you is, since when does a bunch of sequels constitute "new stuff"? I think Will was referring to games along the lines of Doshin, Animal Leader, Animal Crossing, and Pikmin.
You're exactly right. In fact, if you read this week's "Weekly Haul VI", you'll see that I actually think Mario 64 is the better game. :(Quote:

I never said these were new games. The point of my post was that recently Nintendo has been relying way too much on sure-fire sellers instead of encouraging third party support. Especially since they've delayed these games all to hell. This strategy didn't help with the N64 and it's not helping now. Think about it. Is there anything but exclusive Nintendo properties besides Resident Evil that anyone cares about on this system?Quote:

Skies of Arcadia Legend will proably sell a decent amount, but it's sequel is PS2 bound. Harmony of Dissonance is a GBA title and FF: Crystal Chronicles? Blah.
Just out of curiousity, how well have these games sold?Quote:

Nintendo hasn't been as experimental as Sega so fewer risks are involved while still being able to innovate using thier established franchises. I see your analogy but they are trying to give us something more than Mario. It's refreshing yet odd to see them 'lend' out Starfox and F-Zero to 3rd parties to see what they do with them.
Well that's just him then. A varying early opinion out of the many I say. I can't say I agree with him or anything but just because it doesn't feel the same for one person doesn't mean it's going to feel the same for the other.Quote:

Well the new stuff is coming in. Although I can't say I'm interested in all of them but so far Pikmin is out, Golden Sun is a new franchise, Advance Wars, Animal Leader, Animal Crossing(forgive me if they are the same), and Doshin along with Kameo and other stuff Rare hasn't unveiled. I wouldn't worry too much about them I can see them staying afloat with the reliable 'go to guy' game title while trying to introduce fresh games.Quote:

in all honesty im really dissapointed in Nintendo, i was hoping for some sort of Nintendo revival with the GC, 3rd party support, awesome sequels to old school games, no delays, alot of announcements, etc...
its like they are giving up and making the money they can, while they can.
