Nintendo 64.
Super Mario games.
Gamecube & Super Mario Sunshine.

Nintendo has outlasted the console makers of the past. They have been in the console market since 1985 and are still doing reasonably well. I don't think Nintendo will go the way of Sega and Atari anytime soon.

already had NES, SNES, N64

Now we have a GameCube

my favorite systems so far are SNES and GameCube

My favorite games of all time are Final Fantasy and Zelda (mostly Wind Waker), I was really sad when I saw there was no Final Fantasy games anymore on Nintendo system, I bought Final Fantasy VIII on PC just because of this, but I am glad Final Fantasy is coming back on GameCube!

Hurray!!!!

my favorite systems so far are SNES and GameCube

SNES and GameCube are the two best systems in gaming history in my opinion.

Ditto.

I forget, but I heard Nintendo themselves said they are droppin out and not making a next gen. console. Then I think I heard they were.

Can anybody clear it up?

thanks Tech Cat

I suspect that is most likely rumors spread by Nintendo bashers. Nintendo makes top quality hardware and it's a shame that some mean spirited people out there want to spit on Nintendo and want nothing more than to have Nintendo fail because they are Playstation fans or XBOX fans.

You're welcome

No, believe me, the first part came from the horses mouth if anything. It was a direct quote and no bull.

Still, it needs to be cleared up.

I have never heard such announcement from Nintendo. Last time I heard they have already started their next gen console project.

I can't remember anything too concrete, but it was something about nintendo continuing with hand held and becoming a 1st party developer.

Just looked at Nintendo.com and found no such announcement there. Now checking IGN then I will check Gamespot. If I find nothing then I will assume it is just rumor until something substantial comes up.

Don't bother, I'm sure it would have been all over the place by now. It was several months ago.

As far as IGN goes, Nintendo is planning their next console:

Xbox has innovated HD play, 5.1 Dolby Digital in 99% of games, no need for memory cards (maybe you wanna keep dishing out money), custom soundtrack when developers implement it, System link, rip your cds to the hard drive and listen to em, downloadable levels and whatnot on Live and OXM discs, port in the back for easy online play and raised the bar with A.I. and graphics with consoles (not to mention pc).

If you have ever played Mario Sunshine or Zelda, they are both Doly Digital 5.1. It's up to the developer to add it or not, the console doesn't play a part in that.

XBox is a computer designed to be a console machine...therfore it has computer parts. Gamecube was designed to to be a console gaming machine, therefore it kept along the lines with what a console machine is supposed to be.

As I said before, nobody can mess with XBox when it comes to online play, but I'm sure others will follow their lead. Just a matter of time. Nintendo does have an ethernet adapter though...

Can you be so sure Xbox raised the bar with AI and graphics? AI is a matter of the developer coding it, it has nothing to to with the XBox itself. XBox runs on nVidia graphics while GC runs on ATI graphics. You will have a long line of people claiming one is better than the other. You can't say for sure. Just as in PC life, you have people siding with either nVidia or ATI.

Just remember who started this whole gaming console thing...XBox wouldn't even exist without Nintendo. There is no right and wrong, and I'm not saying GC is better than XBox. It's an argument no one can win, I hate the Yankees, but I'm sure there are millions who love them. You can't change my thoughts and I can't change yours, all I can do is express my opinion.

Technically, both XBOX and Gamecube are computers. You are correct about XBOX being based on the PC and being built with PC components.

If you have ever played Mario Sunshine or Zelda, they are both Doly Digital 5.1. It's up to the developer to add it or not, the console doesn't play a part in that.

Ummm, no. Gamecube is incabable of producing true 5.1. Maybe Pro Logic II, but not 5.1 Dolby Digital. Get your facts straight.

Can you be so sure Xbox raised the bar with AI and graphics?

Yes. Halo for one. Raised the standards even for a rushed game.

No doubt Nintendo is an innovator. But the post of yours before is ignorance. Tell me the Xbox isn't an innovator of THIS generation and hasn't set standards.

If you say so bro.

but I am glad Final Fantasy is coming back on GameCube!

Not true. Final Fantasy 11 is on PS2.

Damn I knew I should not have gone camping. Someone needs to keep tech on the run!

Yes it's true http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/gamepage_main.jsp?gameId=1539&showMe=1

	Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

RPG up to 4 Players Q4, 2003 Nintendo Square Enix

pc, its the only that can get to wincustomize.com

PC, You can play alot more games on it. It's also multi funtional. Plus if your into it, you can change the hardware as much as you like.

PC gaming sucks. PCs are best for internet, e-mail, programming, word processing, and ect.

If you want to go on the internet use a PC. If you want to watch DVDs use a DVD Player. If you want to play games use a gaming console. All in one machines are crap.

"Not true. Final Fantasy 11 is on PS2.

Damn I knew I should not have gone camping. Someone needs to keep tech on the run!"

Hey I was not the one that said anything about Final Fantasy on Gamecube. BTW the person who did say there is a Final Fantasy game coming to Gamecube is CORRECT!!!!!
