But im a bit worried to as how Nintendo will approach their next console. They need to be a lot more agressive and flexible. Even though they are making a ton of profit now, they still need to have a bigger and stonger foothold in the console market.

problem is that Nintendo has something against advertising...
And bribing magazines...
You'd be surprised what bull**** (can i say that) some magazines write.. IT's like they are getting huge sums by Sony and MS....

The first step to success for Nintendo will be to mae games less family-oriented. All they have if Pikman and Mario. Now, Rogue Squadron was the lifesaver for Gamecube, but even that, as a Lucas Arts game, is not a nice bloodfest. And the system has plenty of power to give better graphics faster than Xbox or PS2. There's really no reason why they don't have some really nice, really graphic games. They don't seem to understand that Americans buy Gamecube, too. All their games have a distinct Japanese touch to them. Pikmin, Pokemon, etc. I don't have a Gamecube, but I know people who do and they all say the only reason they have the Gamecube anymore (as opposed to getting rid of it) is Metroid: Prime, which, from what I've heard, is really good. Just a thought.


WOO HOO! Flight Commander!

Well Nintendo has a new presindent and he seems like he will change things next time around. Nintendos old pres. was too traditional. I am already seeing a change. I have been seeing Zelda ads lot as of late and other gamecube ads alot more.

Next Nintendo system will have:

(1) a hard drive

(2) broadband out of the box

(3) wireless ethernet and bluetooth support (probably proprietary)

(4) DVD playback (possibly HDVD, but this may be too expensive)


The next Nintendo system will:

(1) Not change Nintendo's position in the industry

(2) probably be their last.


Keep in mind these are just predictions.

This should not surprise anyone. First you had the Nvidia/X-Box alliance and now we have the Nintendo/ATI alliance. This is only natural in the free market. It would be interesting to see the specs for the upcoming system.

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

I don't expect Nintendo to leave the scene any time soon. They used to have a reputation of making games that were a cut above everyone else's, hopefully they can regain some of that prestige. If they can release enough killer games that are only available from them it will help. I'm looking forward to Zelda and one of these days Mario Kart will come out.
