The next generation of video games
3Z3VH:
Or just switch to PC gaming and only upgrade the parts you need to support ALL the latest games
happybirthdaygelatin:
that is the saddest thing ever.

I used to be very into nintendo, due in large amount to the extremely high concentration of crap games i played on friend's playstations, and the sheer awesomeness of ocarina of time and of perfect dark.
Since the launch of the ps2, xbox and gamecube, i have noticed a disturbing trend in the shrinkage of nintendo, which saddens me. In all local Game stores (or Electronics Boutique) there is barely half a shelf dedicated to 'cube titles. Why is this? Nintendo are a great company with excellent cred, but in choosing to target mainly the young teenage audience, they may have made a crucial mistake. Kids around my brother's age (13-15) are not looking for a 'kiddy' image console. Most of his friends would prefer an xbox or ps2, simply because they're more "grown up".
This is a pity, because there are a number (albeit small) of very good mature games on the cube (soul calibur 2, eternal darkness, resident evil zero). The more observant of you may point out that SC2 and RE0 are available on ps2 as well, but having played both versions, I hold that the gamecube version is superior in performance and controller efficiency.
Just my 2 cents worth (or 1.06978p)
Ozymandias:
Nintendo's problem is purely image. It's most even an unfounded image, but it's what's sticking to them anyway and it's really very sad. They make bright, colorful games that are really, really fun, so they're labelled as being for kids.
It's very sad. And Wind Waker didn't help that image at all, despite how dark the storyline was.
Deformagraphy:
Honestly, the situation with Nintendo doesn't bother me. As long as they still exist, I'll be fine.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go daydream in the corner about next Tuesday and me rubbing the Resident Evil 4 package all over my body.
