Dumpster vol. 2

Oh, sure, that's a very good reason for why it is the way it is, for sure. But I was just pointing out that large rewritable media drives are EXPENSIVE! 1.5GB rewritable media? That's quite steep... WAY out of range for China and definitely out of range for the US too. You just aren't making any sense here. And you don't seem to understand my point at all.

I understand your retarded point, but that still doesn't make it any less retarded. If Nintendo somehow found a magical way to make super cheap GC hardware then the IQue would most likely be able to play GC games and they wouldn't be using the same type of flash memory cards. What I've been saying is that the media is a result of the fact that it plays N64 games and NOT the other way around. Oy.

Erm... you DO know that the N64's maximum size was not reached, right? Before launch Nintendo said it could hit 900Mb (~112MB). I know that I read later that that wasn't accurate, but I also know that the actual max for the N64 was most certainly not 64MB. The cart prices for carts larger than 32MB was just too prohibitive for most of the companies.
For the GBA I expect it's the same. It has a "over 100MB" theoretical max but the actual max will be lucky to hit half that... as I said I don't know of any games that are even 32MB, let alone 128, for the system!

As I said, N64 games are bigger than GBA ones by a good margin.

The largest Nintendo 64 cart was 512 Mb, or 64 MB. That was RE2. Sure it's possible that Nintendo could have made special, larger carts, but they did not offer them to developers. However, it is very possible for any GBA developer to use a cart well over 128 MB, and that is the point I'm trying to make. We're talking about capacity here.

Oh I know you've said this fifteen times. All I can do is repeat that the differences in the handheld market negate some of that. Now... yes, because of Sony marketing the PSP may well do well enough among some groups of more techie adults, and with Sony marketing and the PS name it well may spread to a more mainstream audience too. But given how it's a multifunction player, not just a games device, for all this high tech stuff, and costs a lot ($450 or $300, either way it's a very steep price for people accustomed to $99 GBs... face it, people do not think of handhelds as being worth full console prices...), people will think about it hard. They will like the game lineup and that might sell them, but that price... and there's that battery. Remember, the original GB CRUSHED three much more powerful opponents based on its battery life...

Sony may well have some success, but the idea that it'll in no time supplant Nintendo as the handheld manufacturer of choice is a fantasy. If it happens it'll take several years minimum.

You're very, very naive, ABF. I've gone over your stupid points a hundred times already so I will not repeat myself. And you will see that I'm right when the time comes. And when that time does, prepare to kiss my ass.

It is when it means you've chopped large sections of screen off. And it seemed quite clear to me... the way you took it is very odd. I mean, why would GBA games benefit from fullscreen? As I said they'd need to be completely reprogrammed and since they were made specifically for that resolution I'm not sure what point there would be...

Full screen as in blown up to fit a TV, duh. Of course the straight SNES ports look a bit worse than the original versions. But that is not what this is about! You said that it would be smart for Nintendo to start developing new SNES games if the IQue were released here, which is very stupid considering that they're already developing 2D games for hardware that's superior to the SNES! For that reason alone (key word being NEW GAMES), Nintendo could make much better-looking NEW GBA software than NEW SNES software!

Gah, you're so thick-headed...
