Thanks for that, I have never tested original Gamecube games on the Gameboy Player. Fortunately I have never felt the need to branch out to portables just yet, their libraries will almost certainly require me to sell all of my teeth just to get a basic understanding.Quote:

Oh damn, that's shiny. I like that it's modeled after the SNES controller. How can you go wrong with Hori quality?Quote:

My previous post was just reminding them, they aren't perfect by any means and not all there systems are # 1 either. "The 32 x was shit and a failure ! blah blah" I just reply with Virtual Boy. Bye.
I tried Virtual Boy once on display at Wal-Mart back in August 1995, played Mario Tennis, I wasn't even on it for 12 minutes & it made my eyes bloodshot. Later I got in trouble because my stepdad thought that I had been playing too much video games, & he confiscated em for a week. I was so pissed, that I vowed that I'd destroy any VB anyQuote:

BTW, I'm surprised your not fond of Saturn. It bests PSX in just about everything.

Dreamcast had a strong stellar start. Within less than a few weeks in America in 1999, SEGA had shipped over half a million units. And sold out its 250,000 preorders instantaneously in 1 day.Quote:

Cool. I was talking to Primative.
He had mentioned how he had completeley skipped Saturn.
To quote Malcolm Reynolds, that advertisement is seriously "weak tea".
In all honesty, I think all three console makers face an uphill battle this generation. The last generation saw three viable, nearly equivalent consoles (in unit sales), something that's never really happened before. There's usually been a dominant console, and maybe a decent also-ran, with someone bringing up the rear. This last generation, Nintendo blew the doors off of the 360 and PS3, only to see the latter two consoles slowly catch up later in the race. I think the Wii is near death and the PS3 and 360 are still pushing units (my perception, haven't looked into the actual numbers). I think the consoles split between Wii/360/PS3 is something like 100/70/70 million units.
The gaming landscape has changed, with casual gamers flocking to phones, ipods/mini tablets, and tablets, and with the advent of Steambox, there will be even more choices for the gaming wallet (which has likely shrank due to the state of the global economy). The result? It's going to be rougher for all of the console manufacturers. I think there's nowhere to go but down, and to me, Nintendo is off to a poor start. That does not bode well for their console this generation, as they needed another blowout start to hold off what will likely be the technically superior Sony and Microsoft offerings. As for Sony and MS, they face the problem of being too identical. Despite Kinect, I think the new consoles will be fundamentally the same and therefore, it may just boil down to killer apps (these are hard to come by as most games are multiplatform these days). The one to be hurt the most by this is Sony. They have been bleeding money for years now and can't really take another prolonged console war. Microsoft and Nintendo have bigger war chests (and Nintendo still can rely on steady, if not somewhat diminished, handheld strength), so the ultimate loser may end up being Sony.
Okay cool Sega.
Sketch, that guy also sees what we see.
Wii U probably won't be abandoned until 2016. It will keep them going if they start selling games. All they really need to do is invest in a Pokemon MMORPG & toy line like Skylanders Giants to print money and go back to sleep for a few years.
What honestly surprises me though, is all the big fans of the PS3 that I know, turned off by the PS4 and saying they're not getting one and instead going to switch to gaming PCs. They're done with Xbox and Playstation. It surprised me, because I find the PS4 at least interesting and never really bothered with gaming on the PS3 this generation.
