What Gamecube Really Means [Next Generation]

[A Black Falcon]

How about Animal Forest? Did they forget about that?

Things that make the object of your dislike have no place in biased rants GR, you should know that... :)

Why so much Eyetoy hate? First lazy and now you. Is it just because Nintendo didn't think of it? I really do wonder if some people here would be callling it another of Nintendo's great innovations had they thought it up. Sure it's a simple implementation but the idea is there. Minority Report anyone?

I've never used Eyetoy, but I'd say it looks pretty cool... that (PS3) Eyedentify trailer was cool. :)

Yeah I think Body Harvest for the N64 by Rockstar North back when they were DMA Design would count as the innovative title.

Hmm... I don't know. It took old ideas -- the "aliens are invading, kill them all", the "run around in a large world", etc... it just mixed them in a somewhat new way (yes, that did foretell the GTA games). Innovation? Yeah, probably. But not completely new ideas. It was new ways of putting together old ideas -- which is also innovation, but not quite the same kind.

If anything, I'd say the closest thing to any sort of hardware innovation was the introduction of the WaveBird. Sure, there had been wireless controllers before it, and you can find third-party ones everywhere now, but Nintendo got it right.

This I disagree with. This isn't "doing what has been done before differently". This is "doing what has been done before, but perhaps better". That's not innovation... it's improving on existing product, but not really innovation. (and besides, I bet that there had been some PC wireless controllers that were just as good as the Wavebird...)
