PS3 sucks, XBox 360 sucks, Revolution sucks

[Paco]

Sim-racers okay, though the N64 has some solid ones too (some F1 games, MRC, etc), perhaps... but arcade racing? No way! And I don't find sim racers particularly fun, so... yeah, no contest at all. I've got 13 N64 racing games, and there are easily that many more again games that I could also get. PSX? It's got volume, but as usual, the quality is lower... does the PSX have anything to match Rush 2049 or F-Zero X? No? And what about Wipeout? The PSX may have 3 to the N64's 1, but the N64 one is the only one with a four player mode, and only Wipeout 3 also has analog controls (they make such a huge difference in these games...)... Not to mention Rush 2, the Cruis'n games, Beetle Adventure Racing, Extreme-G 1 and 2, etc. PSX? Um... Rollcage is good, though both games are also on PC and are as usual much improved on that platform (where I have Rollcage Stage II... great game...). :) Rush 1 for PSX is horrible. Same for Hydro Thunder; both games are great on N64. Other PSX arcade racers... what would you mention? Jet-Moto or something? Yeah right... :)

I'll give you the PSX vs. N64 but I was really talking about overall (including PSX/PS2 and N64/GC). Sony has more.

WipeOut on the N64 is my favorite of the entire series, and I've played them all. Doesn't mean the others aren't any good though. I'd rather play several great titles over the span of a console than one or two per generation.

I played Hydro Thunder on the DC. I couldn't stomach the PSX and N64 versions after I played it on the DC.

Hey, I liked Jet Moto! My friend and I actually brought it up in conversation the other day, wondering if they'd ever make another one.

Fighting games? Yeah, Sony beats Nintendo, but the X-Box's linup is, I'd say, just as good as the PS2's. Lots of great stuff there...

You're forgetting the arguement. We're (or maybe it's just me) discussing why Nintendo isn't number one on the home console front.

Umm... perhaps because a real gamer can look beyond shallow judgements such as those and actually see a good game when they play one, perhaps?

Pfft. Stop with the 'real gamer' crap. Anyone who plays and likes games is a real gamer. Their preferences are their own.

Not everyone enjoys Mario or his friends. So why would they want to play a lineup of games featuring nothing but Mario characters? Whatever the reasons, they just don't care about Mario and don't pay attention to anything he's in.

I don't really like Pokemon, but once i played Tetris Attack and learned how great Panel de Pon is, I knew I was going to get Pokemon Puzzle League, and it was worth it, Pokemons or no... a good game is a good game.

Again, it features pokemon. Someone who's already decided they don't like Pokemon might not ever want to play anything that has anything to do with Pokemon.

Also, an unique or innovative game is still unique if it uses a preexisting universe of characters.

I'm not arguing that. It's just that someone who doesn't appreciate Nintendo's roster of characters might not ever pay attention to any game featuring those characters.

Even given that fact, this is still quite simply not true. For instance... I have 45 N64 games and 39 GC games. Total number of Pokemon titles: 1, the aforementioned PPL. Total number of Mario titles: 3: Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Sunshine. (okay, there are a few more if you count Yoshi's Story, SSB, SSB:M, and Pac-Man vs. (with Mario's voice...) (WarioWare is different... the Wario series isn't as closely connected to the main Mario one as the Yoshi games are, for instance.), but those are all completely different games that just happen to share some characters, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to do that... (particularly for ones that don't have Mario in them at all like WarioWare, Wario World, or Yoshi's Story, and in SSB who you use is up to you...)

If I don't like Nintendo's flavor of games then that's that. Believe it or not, some people don't. I have a cousin who doesn't like Mario Kart. The same can be said for Capcom, Rare, Konami, Team Ninja, or whoever. Respectively, they have highly acclaimed and respected games, but you can't make someone like a game they don't like, or a developer they just don't like.

Myself? I never got along with Capcom or Konami on my SNES, N64, or DC. I stopped looking a long time ago because there were plenty of other options available.

At one time I was all about Crash Bandicoot, but I grew tired of him and now I don't care what's going on with any of his games.

Another example is Square. Some people just don't like Square games, and others think they're the greatest RPG developers on the planet. Again, depends who you talk to.

That is, there are numerous other titles out there if you look for them. Stop using silly excuses.

Well, you only have a GC and a PC if I remember correctly. Of course you're going to look harder for more games. Myself, I have an Xbox, PS2, and GC. I buy the games that grab my attention and really don't go looking for anything more. There's plenty to play when you have three systems.

People who dislike PC games... so sad... :(

Don't feel sorry for me. As I said, I don't give a shit. I'm more than content with my consoles.
