Quote:And Nintendo did sort of try to make it out as a replacement for online gaming. Remember Miyamoto's comments from e3 '03? About how connectivity is better than online, blah blah blah.
... what, exactly, are you replying to here? It certainly doesn't seem to have much to do with much of anything I've ever said about connectivity, that's for sure... of course that's true! That's exactly what I was talking about in my last post or two!
Quote:It worked great in Four Swords, but even then you could have had little windows pop up on the tv screen. It would have removed that privacy aspect--but that was never really important to begin with--and it would have let people play the game without having to own GBA's. The game sold like crap (for a Zelda title) because of connectivity.
The problem with connectivity was the price to have a full setup. It was a good idea for some games, but the price problem... it's just too expensive to be practical most of the time. But I've played FFCC and FSA and they're pretty fun games, and I can see how the GBA helps...
