Title: Best Nintendo System?
Post by: total_ass on August 15, 2004, 01:13:00 PM
IMO the SNES is the best system because i grew up with it and i think Nintendo have been a real letdown for the past few years. I read somewhere that 15 years ago they owned 90% of the gaming industry, now they have less than 30% sad.gif

EDIT: Also i love SNES emulation on the XBOX lol.

NES without a doubt gets my vote, it started it all for nintendo to be the best 8-bit console and then to make the great snes.

who agrees that nintendo has definetly gone down hill though, imo the 64-bit era was a semi-failure and the 128-bit era (which isn't over yet so it could very well change) is a complete failure.

i own a cube also, zelda: ww is the only game i play on it now, and i havent even played that in months. Zelda 2005 is probably gonna be my next and last cube game (that is how often i play it now i have a modded xbox). But when the SNES was out virtually every game for it was a masterpiece (same for NES), but things have changed, nintendos golden years are long gone, and IMO in a few years nintendo will be dead (or part of MS if billy gets his wish)

yeah i have all 4 current gen consoles and the cube is the one with no good games.
only good ones are rogue squadron series, mgs the twin snakes (the reason  i bought a cube and i love this game), metroid prime and zelda.
thats it pared to the mountains of decent games for dc, ps2 and xbox.


thats my 2 pennys (no cents here in england)

i still have that demo somewhere, have you seen the trailer for the new zelda game, its on gametrailers.com, and its got some major ownage! many thought zelda wind waker was a let down, it was okay, but imo nothing can beat ocarina of time, that is still considered one of the best games of all time EVER. nintendo expect the new zelda to beat oot, that will sure be a challenge.

I think SNES was the best followed by NES, then Gamecube, the N64.  Nintendo finally has a system that can techinically compete with it's competitors and they don't have enought first party hits or exclusives that make the Gamecube worth having.  I thought N64 was just a blurry piece of garbage, except for the WCW games and goldeneye.
Title: Best Nintendo System?
Post by: Prican24 on August 15, 2004, 02:32:00 PM
i agree that nintendos downfall was around the 64bit but thats cuz the president at the time (he quit like a month or 2 later after n64 dropped) chose carts over cds which was the main cause of trouble for n64 with its lack of support where 3rd parties wanted to do more without limits. i will say some games on n64 were great (goldeneye, the wwf/wcw games by aki, re2, zeldas, smash bros.) but i still didn't buy one since i didn't really like it from since test playing mario64 at toys r us (yes i'm one that hated mario64 for being too kiddy and that annoying voice they gave him)

i haven't bought gc yet and prolly won't untill its at $50 (same price i paid for my dc cool.gif ) as it doesn't catch my eye nor does its games really interest except maybe re4 but looking at it now i'm not sure if thats gonna be any good (just questioning the whole rednecks being zombies thing)

I am sickened that THQ hasn't allowed AKI to make another wrestling game for them.  Am I the only one who feels this way?  Those were the best games on N64, the multiplayer experience was second to none.  Now every game has to be made by Yukes and the games just don't feel the same.  They keep trying to capture that gameplay but just cannot.  The N64 did have some good multiplayer action I must say that.  Please THQ let AKI make a new WWE game PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!  Def Jam is the closest thing we get but who the hell wants to play with these crappy rap guys.

snes and nes were definatly nintendos best and that was what really started the console bussiness. The n64 was destroyed the playstation superior library of games. The gamecube is also lacking support because of nintendos decision to do things like make difference format discs, no online play and aiming for the more younger age group with its titles.

that would be amazing. i'm worried about how it would sell at the current time if a game was to come out though since the majority of people are attracted to WWE like mindless zombies. would be awesome to see sabu/raven/aj styles/AMW/triple-x etc. in a xbox quality game with an aki made engine though biggrin.gif

eternal darkness was an OK game, the gameplay kind of sucked but the part that i really liked about it was the things that happend when you went insane,
the whole room was upside down, your head would fall off, and then you would get the "your save file was deleted" boy did that piss me off for the first 5 seconds until i realized that it wasn't true
thats what makes that game different from the rest

anyway, i really can't decide on what i should pick. Alott of those consoles were awesome, but if i had to choose i guess i would go with the nes because of the old school games that they had (contra, castlevania, mario, megaman, zelda)

I heard TNA is supposed to get a FX TV deal for prime time.  I also heard that Ted Turner might want to get involved also.  With his money they could get some name recognition with Stone Cold and Goldberg, that might attract some viewers, cause WWE hasn't been good at all since they bought WCW out.  Too many backstage politics with Triple H always looking out for himself.  They need some competition, they are too complacient and are giving a horrible product to their fans.

Post by: ixnay099 on August 16, 2004, 07:04:00 AM
as far as gamecube goes, there is nothing wrong with the system.  It has the hardware and graphics to compete.  Nintendo has released some good first party games like metroid and mario, zelda and so forth.  But there are not enough of those games to make people want a gamecube.  You cannot release a first party blockbuster every 6 months they just don't have that luxury with Sony and MS kicking their tails in.  They need to stop coming out with a hundred different handhelds and start making the games that people want to play.

well the 'nintendo revolution' is next year if anyone has seen the e3 press conference, hopefully that will make nintendo the dominant company once again.

btw the 3d marios suck in comparison to the old-school mario brothers games, i hated the mission structure. simple platforming and getting to the end of the level was way better. Come on Nintendo make an old-school mario game!!!!!!!!!!

Dude that was a funny joke, i remember them saying the exact same thing when they made the GameCube,
the gamecube will succeed where the N64 failed!!

Mario Golf Super Deluxe 29 Hole's Deluxe

Super Mario 3D 20X6

Pokemon beach volleyball (with realistic jigglypuf bouncing)

Barbie rocks the model runway

Luigi's Mansion II "Back to the Mansion"

Super Mario Kart III Super Tripple Score Dash Deluxe

and maybe even some :

Wario "YAFPG" (yet another fucking puzzle game)

Yoshi's Egg Marbles hyper Drive Combo Tetris Deluxe

and ofcourse :
Resident Evil 24 "Back to raccoon city for no fucking reason"

Super Sonic Collection Disc III "Absolutly no sonic this time!!"

and for all the fighting fans out there :

Super Streetfighter 2 Alpha Turbo III Fourth Strike Vs SNKSegaSammyPlaymore King of Fighters 2007 "Super Milkyway battle deluxe!!!"

Nintendo actually owns the majority of the gaming industry still today, because the the Gameboy Advance. And anyone who says the Gamecube is a failure knows nothing. They may be in 3rd place in some parts of the world (but still basically tied at 2nd with Xbox overall, from the last reports I've seen), but they still have sold millions of consoles, and Nintendo's bank account continues to grow very rapidly.

Post by: total_ass on August 16, 2004, 08:30:00 AM
ok the gamecube isn't exactly a failure, but it could have been much better. if you look at nintendos past success then look at the gamecube, you will see a big big difference. btw i am not an xbox fanboy, i own a gamecube as well and i grew up with nintendo so i am not biased in anyway.

i think its really stupid how nintendo just let the good franchises to fall.

it was very stupid from nintendo not to buy the exclusivity for viewtiful joe...

its one of the best games i´ve played. if you dont believe me just do it.

Wind Waker and Ocarina of time are so different (and equally good imo) that

nintendo should make 2 series of zelda....one of ocarina style...and the other cel

shaded like ww.

With nintendo in the third place of the fifth generation...and MS trying to buy it (of course this will not happen...nintendo loves itself too much that they will never gonna sell the company ...not even if they are dying of hungry.)

but nintendo should really quit consoles and stick with portables...

the playstation psp its cool and all...(and im gonna buy it)

but the innovation of the ds 2 screens (one touchable) its going to be awesome if nintendo work it well. (but honestly i dont think other publishers like thq is gonna spend much time thinking about how to use it...theyre just gonna release one game of every cartoon network, nickelodeon, fox kids cartoon hit.)

but to be honest now that im thinking....if the ds falls ....nintendo falls.

and if nintendo fall... videogame industry is going to lose too much credibility...

to be honest i like all the consoles... everyone says mario sunshine is crap...
but i´ve been with mario since its beggining...and let me tell you. if you havent finished it....dont say its crap.. its very fun. and very difficult.

now PIKMIN is great... smash bros melee... well what can i say about this ... (nintendo is to proud to make sequels....stop having 2 years between game and game...because for me....thats the real cause of its doom)

i really enjoy the ps2 games...but i totally totally think that the xbox its by far the best console out there....and the best console ever (imo) not just for the games... but the stuff you can play with it.

i love my gba and i think its nintendo´s best portable...but i think its gonna be the end of nintendo´s kingdom when the psp arrives....

anyway im gonna buy both...just as the good gamers we´re all.

dont hate nintendo...give them a chance. you´ll have fun.

i dont hate nintendo, i love them. i have completed mario sunshine and it isnt crap, but the water pack makes it so different from the other mario games.

i don't think nintendo should quit consoles, they just need to make better games and make them more appealing to more audiences.

Nintendo should go into the Virtual Reality buisness, with VR helmets and total imertion RPG's.

Imagine that, i would never leave my couch again.


And i dont hate Nintendo either, its just that when i look at the games they have..
i just have to shake my head and say "no thank you"

Sure go ahead, bring out Mario Party 5,6,7,8,9,10   but also bring out some other kind of games,
games that give me the nintendo feeling..

but instead all nintendo games are just rehashes.

when i complain about the cube its because i like my cube..

I also grew up with the NES/SNES and they both kicked ass. I was a SEGA owner but made the switch after the SNES consistently put out the same games that were on the Genesis but they looked and felt 1000% better (IE: Aladdin, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter2, etc, etc).

 I think the end of Nintendo began when they refused to embrace the CDROM. By holding onto a dead technology (carts) this drove up prices for production immensly and forced Nintendo to charge unacceptably high prices for their software (sometimes as high as $100 for a game). The over-estimated their market dominance and name brand recognition.
 In addition they charged exceptionally high 3rd party liscensing fees while their new competitor (sony) was offering really generous fees.
 I still feel Nintendo could have served up some serious competition and retained their market value if they'd have had some liberal thinkers in their bunch. After winning the war with Sega they self-destructed due to their own ignorant complacence.
 

Oh well.....

I think this may prove to be bad.  They have the Metroid game for the DS set up to use a stylus to shoot (you tap on the screen).  WTF?  This is a bad idea.  Can you imagine kids poking the screens with their stylus?   That can only turn out badly.

EDIT: and im sure gamecube lost alot of people becuase it didn't have online play, maybe if they had that then more people would buy it
but then again if the next nintendo console had online play there still wouldn't be as many people playing it because they havn't had as much experience with online gaming as the xbox or the ps2, so more people will probably won't trust the next nintendos online play

offtopic: lol

ontopic: nes was my favorite. i had a 2600, and a c64 when i was very young. but the nes was the first system i truely loved, and would save money forever just to buy one game *video rental stores were my best friends* the nes pretty much blew everything else away. you can see that by the short nintendo history posted on this thread. none the less, nintendo has lost its console edge, and i hope they dont end up the same way as sega. if nintendos new hardware isnt revolutionary, then they might not make another console *super gba xp 3000 will be out though.* nintendo will always "pwn" the handheld market. *my very first video game ever was a bomb sweeper game&watch from nintendo*
snes comes in 2nd. "its like an nes, but better!"
gcn comes in 3rd. "great hardware, great at hiding the very short load times. /virtually/ uncrackable. game library = nintendo made games only"
n64 comes in last. "damn you."

gameboys, just throw them in wherever. handhelds and consoles cant compare to each other. its like comparing apples and oranges, theyre both fruits, but nothing alike.

I sincerly doubt that, we all saw how easy nintendo crumbled when consoles
with better game support then them apeared.

Lynx = good system but bad game support
GameGear = Good system but game support started lacking the good titles that the gameboy had.

while nintendo is desperatly trying to invent new ways of portable gaming
the competition is almost ready to launch their handhelds.

then again.. Nintendo does always come out with a huge library of games for their handhelds..
and playing portable Tomb Raider & Metal Gear Solid is hardly what i call a good time. dry.gif

I enjoyed GE much more than PD.  I also thought Conker's Bad Fur Day was a pretty average platformer... without the crude humor it would have been little known, IMO.  I loved Banjo Kazooie, but later games like Banjo Tooie and DK became too much of a collect-a-thon to be enjoyable.   I think Rare has been sliding for while now.

And did everybody forget about Majora's Mask because I think it was better then Ocarina Of TIme???????????

I am probably obsessed with the Zelda series as i have completed all of them (that are currently out) and i have to say honestly without a biased opinion.

Majoras Mask sucked!!!!!!!!!!!

The three day system was cool at first, but eventually got on your nerves, the music was the same in every area, just played with a different instrument, the masks were cool though, at first. it got extremely repetitive, story was way too cheesy and i personally think that it shouldn't have been made. they only had a small group working on it anyway because they were concentrating on next-gen zelda (wind waker).

the upside though is that it had a very dark/evil/doomsday tone to the game which set it apart from the other games.

Oh I agree, Mario Kart 64 was a let down to me, which i s why i bought Diddy Kong Racing.  But you have to admit, the computer controlled characters sometimes made that game WAY to frustrating.  It was almost like they had god like abilities to fly their little flying-thingies around.  Going from DEAD last to first place was not a sight uncommon when i played it.

I'm kinda torn on my answer to this.  I grew up mainly playing Sega systems:  Master System, Genesis, Game Gear, Dreamcast.  My friends did too for the most part.  From time to time, I'd hang out with a friend that had an NES or an N64 or whatever.  I guess out of all the Nintendo systems, I would say I liked the NES game selection the most.  However, I was totally content playing my Master System games...Space Harrier 3-D & Missile Defense 3-D were something no NES gamer could match!  Not to mention that Sega's controllers typically made sports games easier to play, which is still my favorite genre of games.  

To answer the question:  NES

Don't forget Jet Force Gemini.  Another collect-a-thon with a camera system from hell.

The problem with rare was that except for a handful of original titles, alot of their stuff was variants of some form of earlier work done by them, or nintendo.  Just with different characters and plot line.

Still made top notch stuff though (technically).

>Best Nintendo System?, Vote

I definately vote for the N64, since it has my three favourite games of all time; Perfect Dark, Goldeneye and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Also, TWINE, the good Turoks, Bod Harvest, the Banjo games, Mario 64, Mario Tennis, Rocket: Robot on Wheels and loads more.

The SNES had some great games too. I never saw a NES, and I've not seen many Gamecube games, but those that I did see seemed to be graphical updates of their N64 versions (I'm not saying all Gamecube games are, just the ones I saw).

Anyway, the N64 is my favourite system ever, thanks to the games I mention, and others.

The Virtual Boy is a RISC-based 32-bit system, which produces high-resolution red 3D images against a deep black background using two mirror-scanning LED (Light Emitting Diode) displays. The 3D experience is enhanced through stereo sound and a new specially-designed, double-grip controller that accommodates multidirectional spatial movement. It is powered by either six AA batteries or a seperately sold AC-adapter.

If I had to rate them, I'd rate as follows:

1- SNES (tie)
1- NES (tie)
2- N64
3- Gamecube


I can't choose between the SNES and the NES. Both were a valuable part of my childhood and I'd feel like a bastard if I picked one over the other.

Now the 64 was awesome too don't get me wrong, it's just no SNES or NES. I'm all about Mario 64, Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros, Jet Force Gemini, etc etc etc

The Gamecube is cool too, and it's got some cool as hell games, but it is no way near as cool as the SNES/NES


I feel sorry for kids today growing up with the ps2/xbox/gc because it's a different world now. What the hell is wrong with old school shit such as side scrolling, snes style graphics and music, etc. No matter how good you can make a 3d person look to me, I'd still prefer a sharply ass animated side scroller (mega man!)

Gameboy (Mono/Colour/Advance) really shouldn't be up there imo. It is a system but not in the same sense as the others as it's a handheld and not a console. This is probably why it has the least amount of votes even though it's sold more units then any other console ever (and in many cases, more than all consoles released by a group. Eg. Sony with PSX,PS1,PS2.
