Nintendo is dead. Options

[Raijinili]

The Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advence weren't systems that newcomers would begin playing video games with in their own respective generations?

The Gameboy Color is dead, the Gameboy Advance is kinda dead, but is 99% dead, so shut up
and let me say my shit.
Gta on the DS is the most stupid thing I have heard in the 14 years I have lived so far. The game is just pointless shooting at random people all because they want some fucking money. Also, the game just plays as an ex-convict that you can just walk around the street beating people, or stealing cars, or robbing a house. Rockstar Games have just made the stupidest mistake in the world. Hands down. ENOUGH SAID.

They may be dead, but that doesn't mean people suddenly don't play them anymore. I still find myself going back to play the Pokemons and DWMs on the GBC, and I still have a bucket of GBA games I need to finish playing.

And I still think Asaph has a much better point than the one you're trying to make. People new to video games in those respective generations did play the GBC and GBA.

.............Ok, you have a point there. I'm still playing my Pokemon games for the GBA, and I wish I had a Gameboy Color so I can play the original Mario Tennis and Mario Golf. I lost the GBC and both of my copies of the game. But still, gta back then wasn't a big deal. I think what I'm trying to say is, is that gta today is too graphic compared to what it was back then.

Grand Theft Auto Advance came out way after GTA III came out.

Oh yeah, I remember now...
I thought some old version, like the original version for PS1.

You do know the GBA can play GB and GBC games, don't you?
EDIT: Oh, I overlooked that you said you lost the games as well, sorry.

I forgot about that.

Yeah, I was just about to beat the games when I lost them in my mom's ex-boyfriend's truck.
I was so upset.

the Wii has surpassed the 360 in numbers of consoles sold in the US.

Real shocker, there. We just got about thirty Wiis in - they'll be gone by noon tomorrow.

[Raijinili]

It took over a year and a half to catch up.

For shame.

Screw PS3!
Ill not waste valuable money on a console system that offers the same thing as PS2 (Though theres the six-axis thingy... wonder where they plucked that idea off??)

Wii is the best! I tried it at my friends house and im gonna save money for it, a PSP, a Nintendo DS, and a high end laptop, in that order.

[Raijinili]

Because the PS2 had free, ACTUALLY WORKING ONLINE, hd, a blu ray player and tons of other shit right.

Here are the reasons why nintendo will continue to make money

1) they're trying to draw in a new audience and if you want to do that you wont Throw a hardcore game at them you would start off casual and worrk your way up

2) Cheaper Games + Little Kids= More Sales

3) With more parents playing games like Wii Fit the wii is almost the easiest thing to do next to dying, but its also complex in its own way

So the PS3 is great too (i want one, but i'm having problems convincing my parents to buy me one)
but its too expensive to utilize it to the fullest of its abillities (which is currrently 80gigs) is gonna cost $500.00+ and games are $60 and a second controller is at least $30 together thats almost $600.00 and that price is what puts off a lot of people, while the wii sits at $250.00 and it already comes with a game plus another Wiimote+Nunchuck (bundled together) $20 which collectively comes to $270.00

Now how much would you rather spend:

$600
or
$270

[Raijinili]

I have both, so it makes no difference to me. I have to work on getting a 360, because unlike the PS3 with its four games that interest me, 360 has like five thousand.

Pokemon.

Thats one of the biggest, if not THE biggest Nintendo franchise. The only other obvious giant of Nintendo is Mario games.

Yes, it did.
