I think it's still a (maybe somewhat smaller) selling point, just that Nintendo has made two exceptions. Though they probably got that upgraded graphics wasn't everything themselves.
Well, I've beaten all the CC's and maps on the DS mainly playing on the toilet, not so on the Gamecube since it's not that fun.
But I really enjoy playing with someone else complaining how bad it goes and how lucky they are or trying to insult them for how bad they play:D
Yeah, I unlocked content on the DS but I haven't read about things you could unlock on the Gamecube so I haven't done that. Only the ghost map for battle which was accidently unlocked:D
Guess I should find some game guide and see what I need to do to unlock more content.
In brawl I think I've unlocked some stuff but I'm not really enjoying it but that's mainly because I don't know how to do everything with each character so each session would have to start by experimenting..
In realistic FPSs I think better graphics do matter. Nicer looking tanks, environments, bigger maps, more space to explore. On the DS Call of Duty looks really really boring.
Ah, whatever, think that skiing game for the amiga where you go down a hill jumping over houses and such, or in tubes and old skiing games in pipes and such, and compare those to SSX:D
And in 2D cute manga-style RPGs those pretty images looks even more pretty in higher res =P, may not make the game a lot better, but well, I'd rather play it nice looking than ugly:)
I guess there need to be huge leap in technology to bring out a significant different release though, like Quake over Pong, or WoW over Quake.
Well, I guess they could make a camera for the GBA-slot, maybe they will. Though it's also Nintendo and they like to give the same old people an excuse to buy the same console again:D
The DSi offer more things, such as some internal storage and so on. Guess we'll have to wait to see what it will actually be used for. But it's no-way a DS2 or a necessary upgrade. GBA, GBA SP, Gameboy Micro.. Similar with DS, DS lite, DSi, just small improvements.
I wonder if there will really be much awesome games using the webcam, they lose GBA-slot for games like guitar hero, asteroid game and rumble packs, and obviously all GBA games. Also the DSi won't be region free for a few games which need more region specific connections to the Internet or whatever. Remains to be seen where that really matters.
Just wait for the DS 2 then or whatever the next portable may be called and hope it's backwards compatible:)
I hate the fucking pussels in Sunshine, they are too hard for me:D And I don't like how the concept is so different, but galaxy looks pretty different to. Wasn't there supposed to be a Mario 128 for the gamecube? Or was that for Wii/Revolution?
There is a whole bunch of Castlevania on the DS.
2 Metroid on Gamecube, 1 on Wii, 1 "real one" on DS and 1 "pinball" on DS.
I think mario kart is quite boring in single player, it's really good vs someone else though but I doubt it makes a huge difference if you play it on say the gamecube or the wii?
I'm not really into smash brawl, but I haven't been much into any fighting game except maybe street figher II because I never learn all the combinations:D. Just press around;/
I agree they are fun, but not very innovative, lots of them is the same old. 3 castlevania games on the DS, 3-4 on the GBA, and so on, story will probably be totally different and level design to but it's still very familiar.
... Also while Nintendo may be innovative in hardware they don't offer that innovative software. Sure there are cooking books, this music software, WiiFit, Nintendogs and crap like that but neither of that would interest me.
Their biggest titles are most often the same old favourites. But how funny is the next mario game? New Mario Kart? Next Metroid FPS?
More or less the same fucking experience.
New graphics/performance don't guarantee new games, but you can make some games which couldn't be made before because they would had been too complex.
The graphics do matter, because non-2D DS games looks like shit and 2D games would look so much better with the same system specs as the PSP. And many games would look much better on the Wii if it had the PS3s hardware.
Your logic is flawed, just because it's superior in other ways, which may even tip the balance scale over don't make graphics not mattering.
Why NOT use a new console with the same controllers?
I'm really confident Nintendo would sell lots of DS2s even if they had the same controllers but much updated performance. Same for Wii.
PSP isn't even a failure, it sells really well, sure DS outperforms it, but the PSP is still a huge success.
The PS3 probably fails on highest price and really few reasons to get that console since it's so few exclusive titles and it kind of don't offer much over the 360.
Exactly, you want virtual memory because you want you ram available / usable by the applications which would benefit the most from it and not by whatever happened to allocate it first.
And the strengthening of the dollar (probably much more that than plummet of the SEK) has rather made everything more expensive since so much imported stuff is valued in dollars.
Don't make sense that then US economy go bad the dollars go down, but when it's totally fucked up the dollar goes up!?!:D
There was some kind of plans for doing it here back in 2002, but then ADSL came and people starting talking about using the electricity network and well, I guess the government though "oh, so the market will solve it themself", but ADSL suck, and the infrastructure could be used for so much more, and would be so "cheap" compared to all the years one can use it.
Fucking morons.
Over here you would had got the fiber to your door though.
While I haven't read the contract / user agreement I haven't read a shit about that, so I went to tre.se and checked:
"Ãr det verkligen obegrÃnsad datafÃrbrukning med 3Bredband 7,2 Mbit/s?
Svar: Ja. Vi kommer aldrig att ta mer betalt oavsett hur mycket man fÃrbrukar. Vi fÃrbehÃ¥ller oss rÃtten att skydda oss mot extrem anvÃndning som pÃ¥ ett mkt kraftigt sÃtt skiljer sig frÃ¥n genomsnittet eller annat missbruk som orsakar 3 eller dess kunder skada genom att ÃvervÃga att begrÃnsa hastigheten. I dessa fall kommer vi att informera kunden."
Translation: Is it really unlimited data usage with 3Bredband 7.2 mbit/s? Answer: Yes. We will never charge more no matter how much you consume. We reserve our right to protect ourself from extreme usage which in a big way varies from the average consumption or damage 3 or their costumers by lowering the transfer speed. In these cases we will inform the consumer."
I don't know if that's what you are hinting it, and I think it's very unclear, but hopefully they speak about running your own ftp-server (on shitty mobile upload speeds?) or maybe 24/7 p2p. Don't make much sense to me since it's so vague but anyway... Atleast they start by saying they won't charge more...
A.t.m. the one with 1.4 mbps upload instead of 0.384 mbps also cost 199 sek it seems.
But do private persons really use it much more because they have more bandwidth? I have 100/10 mbps but download very little nowadays. Most people probably get it because they don't want it to to slow when they need it, not because they need to pump terabytes / month. If I'm not using much more bandwidth obviously I won't cost the company much more money.
A company however which pay a higher fee may put more requirements on it (and demand to actually GET claimed speeds.)
Slashdot Mirror
Well, somewhat atleast:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_128
Though the name still seems to have been a name for a Mario 64 sequel.
But all those titles are shit, how many people do you think really buy and play "cooking mama" or whatever it's called? I feel poor for them.

The new one looks decent it seems:

Maybe it was an older game or an older versions I've seen pictures from earlier:

But it plays like an FPS now? Even though it might be an "adventure puzzle map exploring FPS."
I have Metroid on my NES to, so I know what it was ..
It's not a next generation DS, just a DS with cam and SD-card slot but no ability to play GBA. Obviously some games won't be backwards compatible.
I haven't heard anything about more processing power on it, scrapping the ARM7 I may have heard.
I have the DS, but I would soo like it if it offered the graphical capabilities of the PSP, and he said graphics don't matter ...
Kind of all 3D-environment games on the DS looks like shit, and the RPGs (even the 3D ones) and such could look even better in higher res.
I hate the fucking pussels in Sunshine, they are too hard for me :D

And how many games have they compared to a hardcore gamer?
... Also (again...) compare say Call of Duty on the DS to PC/PS3/whatever and say that you'd rather play that game on the DS ...
... Also while Nintendo may be innovative in hardware they don't offer that innovative software. Sure there are cooking books, this music software, WiiFit, Nintendogs and crap like that but neither of that would interest me.

Graphics DO matter, DS and Wii still sells good.
Though N64 biggest flaw was the cartridges.
Gamecubes biggest flaw was sadly the N64.
That was great, I owe you a blowjob.
Though by that logic Vista wouldn't be epic fail vs all other oses? =P
Not saying you're wrong however. But imho Wii is too expensive compared to the really cheap 360.
(And no, no-one need to post anything about adding this and that or whatever, it's still a game capable machine.)
Not saying 360 is the best console though :D
Though, Opera really IS the best browser still even if it lacks inline spell check (which I have just recently started to use anyway.)
Exactly, you want virtual memory because you want you ram available / usable by the applications which would benefit the most from it and not by whatever happened to allocate it first.
No? Since the plugins run on all platforms, or?
So what? It's still what it cost yesterday.
And the strengthening of the dollar (probably much more that than plummet of the SEK) has rather made everything more expensive since so much imported stuff is valued in dollars.
Don't make sense that then US economy go bad the dollars go down, but when it's totally fucked up the dollar goes up!?! :D
Guess it's because your problems spreads :D
I guess this is close:

1 cent for no logos, it does include other benefits to though.
