LiMP RABBiT Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 Rumours have it that GC is the last Nintendo console is this good or bad?
Lynk Former Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Those rumors aren't true. Nintendo will release something after the GCN. Nintendo's not in any trouble and is still going strong, I would be shocked if this was their last console.
Pisces Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Yeah, especially since you can bet that when gaming technology increases there's going to be a lot more consoles from various other businesses coming out. I'd think Nintendo would want a part of that market.
Boba Rhett Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Nintendo will be making consoles for years to come. And a Japanese company is already planning a fourth console.
LiMP RABBiT Posted July 14, 2002 Author Posted July 14, 2002 I expect that they will eventually update but I think they will soak up all the goodness from the GC before moving on. And this will only be when there is a breakthrough in gaming technology.
Boba Rhett Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Oh yeah, I figure they'll be sticking with the GC for guite a long time.
Lynk Former Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 i would expect nintendo to wait quite awhile b4 they start any real plans for its next gen console. if they took their time and evaluated everything then they'd make one kick ass console then next time round.
COJ Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 the war between XBOX and GC is only beginning, expect another round in 4 years... Xbox 2 vs....Gamecube 2
Lynk Former Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 ehehe, right now only the troops are out... just wait till the big guns are out
darthfergie Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 I'm sure that Nintendo will not let their fans down. They'll come out with a bunch more consoles...that is unless the PS3 or Z-Box blow them away early on...or if they pull a DreamCast/Sega Saturn...Then it may just be down to the American heavy Microsoft and the International favorite Sony...
Lynk Former Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 No I don't see that happening. Nintendo is MUCH smarter than that, they'll be around for a long time.
darthfergie Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 That is unless they ARE smart and when/if they get into a bad financial situation they quit making consoles. GC might put them in this situation. (I'm saying MIGHT so don't jump down my throught to tear out my lungs....k)

They may be split up if the US gov finally get there way... *shrugs*
darthfergie Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Yeah it could, but Microsoft has MONEY MONEY MONEY. And they want to prove that tey can make console games. If they get into a bind they have a few billion dollars in the bank to fix it quick.
Ewok Hunter Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 well even if the GCN doesn't keep going *doges vegtables* Nintendo always has the gameboy. it even has its Competitors butting their big name characters into the Gameboy instead f developing their own machines
Lynk Former Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 not to mention that they're STILL squeezing out the last drops of goodness from Pokemon
COJ Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 STILL? there far from done man....look at the new pokemon game for GBA....thats going to be just like Gold and Silver, going to last for a very long time..
Lynk Former Posted August 13, 2002 Posted August 13, 2002 then there's Stadium 3, the proposed pokemon rpg on the cube... they're still queezin it tellz ya! plus the new pokemon movie.... *shrugs*
Ewok Hunter Posted August 13, 2002 Posted August 13, 2002 heh, some people have been waiting years for it to come out
darthfergie Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 I havn't even seen the Poke Titles announced. (Of course I've stoped getting Nintendo Power now...but still...I get GamePro and company)
Ewok Hunter Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 what! you stoped getting NP! shame on you it's one of the best gaming mags out there. one of the main reasons is that they give thier members special things rather than the people who buy it off the newstand. it has been coming late recently though....
Boba Rhett Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 I stopped getting mine a few years ago. The quality was going down, they were coming later and later and they had basically become a pokemon mag.

Yeah it started getting pathetic when they changed to the star system...all of the sudden perfect scores weren't abnormal, plus they killed the reader's poll too. Then they had HUGE sections devoted to pokemon...even tho recently I have seen no sign of a Poke game since silver/gold editions. I got Red and Blue and when the monotony got old I moved on...
