alpha: you really think Rare was all that? Christ who would have thought Nintendos own hype machine could come back to bite it in the arse
yeah UK companies have a major problem though, the current major studios are currently run by ex-home developers who are used to a hell of a lot of freedom, which they normally get on the PC, but they're not going to get that on a Nintendo console, purely for Nintendo's "quality checking" system, it doesn't necessarily mean you can do anything on the PS2 or the X-Box though, they both have their own rules but they're more relaxed about the stuff that goes on their console,
the Rare Nintendo problems are old news btw, Rare and Nintendo have traditionally had problems, it was the then head of NOA btw who made Rare put 4-player into Goldeneye...
oh yeah my reasons for buying each console:
GC: Metroid Prime, Zelda, SMS, Starfox Adventures, Starfox (Namco), FF: CC, and whatever the hell Genius Sonority and Game Designer Studio come up with in the future, PSO v2
PS2: Gungrave, ICO, FFX
X-Box: Panzer Dragoon....
I'm a nintendo whore but I've always like SEGA games, will Nintendo do a SEGA? I dunno, if the Gamecube fails they're going to do it as their best console, will it succeed? well they made the N64 profitable so we shall see

The jumbles man, the jumbles
Man, Nintendo so don't know anything about staying in business. They have 6 billion US in the bank. They made a greater profit off the N64 than Sony made from the PSX, and roughly 3 times more PSX were sold than N64. Nintendo continue to make a profit from the GC, besides the fact that it is being badly beaten in sales. Those are all signs that a company is about to go under.

if one system was going to fail out of the current three, the xbox would have to the main contender, and even that if quite a long way off from becoming a SEGA. i can't believe most of you are jumping on the bandwagon saying that ninty are screwed because of Rare.
You say GC isn't selling nicely, well ahev a look at the box, it is constantly beating it in all markets.
Killer apps? as was mentioned mario ("Sunshine" managed to clinch the No. 2 sales rank overall for the month even though it was not released until Aug. 26.) but what about Zelda and Metroid, arguably to of the biggest gaming franchises and most awaited games for a long time. you really think that these games, made not by rare, won't sell well?
I guess all we can do is just wait and see.

The fact is that Rare only own a few of their franchise games... Nintendo's not lost much. It was a strategic move on Nintendo's part > they had the option to buy the remaining shares but they didn't, maybe they've got a plan up their sleves? Don't expect good ol' Ninty to back down anytime soon

ah such young foolishness,
hehe everyone thought nintendo was down and out with the N64, and how wrong they were then, nothing is certain in this market, your foolish to predict the end of a console when it's selling BETTER than the X-Box in Europe and Japan, no console has a hope in hell of beating the PS2 right now (except the GBA),
either way unless it goes spectacularly bad for Nintendo (ie Virtua Boy bad) this generation won't decide what happens
children are doing most of the posting

Actually I wasn't really referring to the swearing, but whatever...
Just to throw in my two cents in the discussion:
Nintendo are not stupid! They certainly know what they are doing, and they had MUCH time (half a year?) to think about whether to buy RARE or sell RARE...
Nintendo made more money than SonyComputerEntertainment (reason i put the whole name is because Sony itself makes much more than playstation and they would of course make more money than N if you took into consideration all of their electronics), even tho sony sold FAR more consoles than Nintendo ...Pokemon helped Nintendo very much, and the GBA too. The GBA is almost selling as well as the PS2, so Nintendo make very much money on the handheld market.
So, I wouldn't expect the GameCube to disappear soon, and I'm sure good ol' Nintendo has some more tricks up their sleeve....we'll see at E3 2003...

i dont know if it has been said before because i was scanning through all the crap trying to find something relevent. but has everyone forgotten that SQUARE is back to good with the Big N. the same square that saved PS2 will now be WAY WAY WAY more (again) to Nintendo than Rare EVER was. yah Donkey Knog Country and the sequals were great games and so was DKR but NOTHING beats Nintendos first party games on the console anyway and if there was something that could out do a Zelda or a Mario game in sales it would be . . . FFCC which is going to be coming out in a year to a year and a half for the GC. with Final Fantasy back on Nintendo Rare can go blow themselves and Bill Gates for all i care. Imagine if you will Link fighting Cloud in the next installment of Super Smash Brothers. just think of all the things that Square is that Rare isn't and THEN imagine Nintendo dying. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. just look at the GBA. nobody else has a hand held so Nintendo wins.

That's very true, go to a psxemulation page and you'll find PS2 fanboys there etc...I won't deny that I don't love Nintendo more than the others but I don't see myself as that big of a fanboy really....all systems are great really and have different types of games....It's just what you prefer which should make you decide what system to buy...see what games which are out for that system and which are coming..
My 100th post! Weeheeyy!

honestly everyone, rares latest games just havent been that great lately. I even thought perfect dark was kinda overrated, just a souped up goldeneye. and banjo tooie, while still a quality game was just kinda boring and not classic material. if star fox adventures lives up to its hype, my current opinion of them will change coz that game looks COOL, but right now, the loss of rare is pretty big for nintendo, but not thaaaaat big if you know what i mean

To the person who posted first after me, yes I was venting my anger, now a calmed down a little. Like someone said a while back in this topic, I hope that Microcock lets Rare have a lot more freedom than Nintendo in putting more adult things in their games. Conkers was really funny but Nintendo still linched them and made them take a lot out.
