I know, thats what I was trying to say. Its just kind of miserable that the only system that I really want to buy is a portable. If they can do that good on a handheld, what the hell is stopping them from doing that on a consle? Anyway....my favorite games are fighters (MotW), Shmups (Radiant Silvergun, Blazing Star), and some RPGs (FF3, Xenogears). I am able to play almost anything with at least a slight amount of enjoyment.

I hear that being positive is a fun hobby that a lot of people are enjoying.

You'd probably like the ps2 scene.Kof2k1 , Metal slug 4 ,shikigami , psyvviar ,and xenosaga. Im not sure if the first two have been confirmed.

great time to own a gamecube and a gba.

Exactly my thoughts.

I really cannot understand all the people depressed by the new generation of gaming. I think the future of gaming is looking damn good right now.

well.........its a great time to be a Nintendo fanboy/girl. thet racked up at E3 again this year, obviously.
I'm seeing a lot of revival stuff, and thats great. I'm kind of wondering about if anything new and good is hitting though...all the stuff I'm excited about it old skool revamped.
rar. I want something new, and different! in addition to old and kick ass!

is it just me or is this statement 100% oxymoronic? Nintendos old standby's are all sequels...yet sequels are lame. hmmmm....

It's only been great since the major systems dropped in price. But, I think that once the 3rd and 4th quarters get some steam behind them, it will be really great. Other wise, we are still in a period of stasis.

PS2: $200
Xbox: $200
GameCube: $150
Turbo Duo: $200

This choice was easy. I bought the Duo. Actually, the day AFTER I ordered it, all the console companies officially announced their price drops.

I don't care, I love my Duo. I'd never trade it for any of the next-gen consoles.

What's so good on the Turbo Duo? The only thing that comes close (besides Bonk) is Dracula X, and that's only on the PC-Engine.

What great time to be nostalgic. Is it me or has there been a HUGE revival of the early 90's and 80's. First they bring back Transformers and GI Joe. Now we see the return of Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi. Then we see a new Panzer. (not necessarily in that order). A new Castlevania, a 2D Metroid, Phantasy Star... I could go on and on...

For those of you that were born past this era, here's your chance to find out what it's all about. I feel old knowing that Super Mario World has been out for.. what? 10 years? =)
