. Almost like Nintendo's version of the PSP. It'd have better graphics, a well designed case/controls, and (unlike the psp) be dedicated to gaming. Also, good, original games

That'd be nice, but what incentive do they have to do that? The PSP's sales were nothing fantastic, whereas the DS and Wii may as well print money.Gamelver wrote:Second, I want a new Gameboy. Like, a portable Gamecube
No casual market crap like with the Wii
In all honesty, I think these "casual gamers" aren't really going to leave us. I do think, however, that after this generation is done and over with and Nintendo has asserted its supreme marketplace dominance once again, more developers will start to take notice that there is a market for "hardcore" games on a platform like the Wii.
They're bound to do that eventually. Like Ben said, Nintendo just seems to resell their old games (which is pointless to me, I already have them, shouldn't pay for them again).Gamelver wrote:a virtual-console like handheld, where you can download old games for affordable prices and play them on the handheld!
It wasn't supposed to be more of a flame at Nintendo, since i'm not going to lie about how Nintendo's strangehold on handhelds has only been loosened by the PSP, when competitors with the Game Boy such as the Game Gear, Atari Lynx and WonderSwan.. hell even the Neo Geo Pocket didn't do jack... but Sony will play the waiting game likewise with PS3 and just take the market by storm, and then pay attention and release many a high profile title , trying not to give Nintendo the oppertunity and leave it too little, too late. They do it every time, except with the PS2.Jongamer wrote:Sony can never better Nintendo at their own game, Nintendo has more than 19 years of handheld gaming experience.

having the top Hardware means nothing as History has shown.
In other words, Nintendo doesn't give a rat's behind about hardware capabilities as long as it's cheap, it's "good enough", they have a cute gimmick, and they can sell you their entire game library again.Negative_Creep wrote:I doubt Nintendo will make a flat-out gaming handheld like the PSP, they will try something new and innovative out.
You had me until the last part.Gamelver wrote:I want Nintendo to make two things (that they likely won't).
First, a virtual-console like handheld, where you can download old games for affordable prices and play them on the handheld...like an ultimate, official handheld emulator.

This is nothing new, Nintendo is all about making their games fun, technical specs are second.bicostp wrote:In other words, Nintendo doesn't give a rat's behind about hardware capabilities as long as it's cheap, it's "good enough", they have a cute gimmick, and they can sell you their entire game library again.
Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head... what innovative they shell out, will get crap like Brain Age and all that crap, okay Nintendo thanks.. then more recycled crap such as MKDS and SMDS which are rehashes of eariler titles, but if your a PSP owner what do you get? Sure remakes and rehashes, but they are good ones. Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX? yes please. Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops? Yes please. Final Fantasy Crisis Core? Yes please.bicostp wrote:In other words, Nintendo doesn't give a rat's behind about hardware capabilities as long as it's cheap, it's "good enough", they have a cute gimmick, and they can sell you their entire game library again.Negative_Creep wrote:I doubt Nintendo will make a flat-out gaming handheld like the PSP, they will try something new and innovative out.
The problem is they've been dragging behind in recent years. When was the last time they had superior hardware and market dominance? The early 90s when the Super Nintendo came out. They've gone from technical innovation to "I'm cheap and can do X" to remain competitive, and in today's evolving market that won't last for long.
The N64 and, by a wider margin, Gamecube both lagged behind their competitors. The Wii is selling because a. it's cheap, b. it's got a cute gimmick, and c. parents trust Nintendo to keep their kids safe from the 'big bad M rated games'.
Am I just completely bashing them? Maybe. However, I believe they can do a lot better. Back in the day they led the field, now they're playing catch-up and passing cute gimmicks off as 'innovation'. It's going to catch up to them eventually, because can only repackage the same thing so many times.
Nintendo, go back to the 80s and 90s for your R&D and marketing, not your code and hardware.
This would be a good point if it wasn't flat out incorrect. The Super Nintendo outclassed the Genesis by a wide margin, which is one reason it lasted so long into the 32 bit era. I've seen the 32x called "the Super Nintendo adapter for your Genesis" on a few occasions.Bubbles wrote:The Genesis was technically superior to the SNES despite coming out first
Not quite, but if I got a Wii, I would use a GC controller as often as possible.Aguiluz wrote:Really? Have you tried a Wii? Are they that bad?Dr. KillGood wrote:Wii = Cool for the first 5 hours, then you get tired of swinging your arms everywhere and just want to push a freaking button.
