Nintendo's Press Conference

[A Black Falcon]

You're only looking at the Gameboy and rival handheld gaming systems when you make that remark. There have been huge advances in battery technology in the portable electronics device industry, and Sony probably waited until they could come up with a cheap, long-lasting rechargable battery before they decided to enter the handheld gaming arena.

I don't see these "huge changes". I think the electronics the batteries are running have changed (lessening power consumption) far, far more than the batteries themselves... alkalines are pretty much the same now as ever. Any difference is fairly small and won't help Sony enough. Unless you know of something else?

Popularity is what matters the most. I'm not saying that the Gameboy will crumble, but I am certain that the PSP will secure the #1 spot. Sony is going to draw in a new crowd to handheld gaming, and that is why they will probably succeed. That is what happened with the PlayStation.

I doubt it. Not with all the other issues the PSP probably will have... and plus, it'll spur Nintendo to do stuff too...

Wow, yet again you make up facts to suit your argument, not even thinking that I would check up on them. I showed four Banjo-Kazooie screens and four DK64 screens, and all of them were from IGN. DK64 also came out long after BK, so the screenshots quality should be even better.

It is amazing to see you continue to insist that those unequal shots equally represent those games...

What can I say, other than that you're full of BS? You obviously don't know what you're talking about, so yet again we've reached another pointless argument because of your ignorance.

Oh, SO sorry for forgetting that playing five hours of a game in a few days makes me completely ineligible to discuss it...

I AM JUST COMPARING BT AND DK64. AS I SAID. And I DON'T see this big difference in any way.

If you actually knew what you were talking about we could have a real discussion going on. But you do not, and I have far more knowledge on this subject than you do, so just quit.

I know plenty to have a discussion mostly about B-T and DK64, which is what I have been discussing in this thread. You aren't able to /don't want to acually try to talk about these two games in comparison, it seems... because I keep talking about mostly just them, but you constantly compare them to BK then say how amazingly superior BK is (a game I really have been trying to avoid discussing here...), etc, etc... HOW ABOUT JUST STICKING TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL ALONG?

It'd also make this discussion make more sense, for sure. As of now it is a bit confusing... :)




Now...

I know, I know, you think B-K is the best of all of Rare's platformers and that it has so much more platform jumping, better graphics, etc... from the limited stuff I have seen I don't see any proof for that, but I won't argue it much given how I don't have B-K. Now I know SOME people here do either agree with me or think B-K and DK64 are equal... I just wish they'd POST, because this is really getting annoying. I am just trying to discuss the games I have!

If you actually knew what you were talking about we could have a real discussion going on. But you do not, and I have far more knowledge on this subject than you do, so just quit.

I should have thought of that arguement when you started insulting text-based adventure games... its the perfect "you're an idiot so I don't even have to try to refute your points" arguement that avoids the whole issue of if they are valid...

Because, of course, YOUR OPINION ISN'T THE LAW. Other people CAN disagree with you and not be wrong from an objective standpoint, and it doesn't make them idiots.
