The GC controller is a hundred times better than the N64 controller. Sure the Z button is better-placed on the N64 controller, but the GC analog stick is so much better, and the controller is a lot more comfortable.
What makes you think that?
"Charms and ideosyncracies" like low resolutions and poor processing power? Yeah, that sure is charming.
Now you're just repeating to me what I've been saying about you for years now. You can't even come up with your own reasons for disliking me! You're the most annoying person in the entire universe ABF, and you do not deserve any sympathy from me.
Sure it would be neat to see Nintendo make another new NES just for nostalgia's sake, but that would be taking resources away from developing games for their current consoles and Nintendo needs all of the help they can get to compete with Sony and MS.

Oh and I'm just a mild 'liking older games' person. I don't even have any old consoles! There are lots of serious classic-games gamers... for some relevant to this look no further than http://www.neo-geo.com <http://www.neo-geo.com> . A whole website (huge membership too) devoted to "strange" people who not only play old games but buy $300 Neo-Geo games regularly!

Quote:Funny, I think similar things about you... you are infuriatingly annoying... you NEVER listen. You never listen! I know I say it a lot but it's so, SO true. You do not listen. Oh you read, I guess, but you don't really interpret... at times it's almost more than I can take. I HATE explaining things thirty times and having you STILL THINKING THE SAME (wrong) THING AT THE END! Even when I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are wrong, and even when I have proof...
I'd love to just be able to discuss things, but then you come along and make the atmosphere extremely hostile and start slinging insults and once you latch on to a position nothing will ever change it no matter what... arguements where you are not involved can be much, much more pleasant to be in. Even if they would be a lot shorter.

Quote:I agree with ABF on this one. While I don't find it really sad that these systems are outdated, I still sometimes wonder what it would be like if people still developed for it. Nostalgia for a particular console plays a humongous part in that, I'd say.
It's a feeling you get when you play an addictive NES game for the first time (one that you never knew about before) and adore it. You realize that since no one is developing for the system any longer, there's a limit on the number of other NES games you could discover (when I say that, I mean discover for yourself), and that thought is a little depressing. I realize how illogical that sounds, since the new systems can all show prettier graphics, but for pure nostalgia and that alone, it isn't the same.
I'm not getting sucked into this silly argument, though. I don't expect you to understand, OB1, so go ahead and insult me until your fingertips turn black and blue, if it really makes you feel better. I don't care.
