Be nintendo

be nintendo

finally make a console stronger than the competitor

the console can render better textures and models than the ps2

use mini cd's

the developers needs to use lower resolution textures and models so it can fit in 1 disc

the games now look worse than the ps2

Sad how an amazing console got fucked up by retarded nintendo decisions and even sony fucked up with the ps3's difficulty of developement

Then Nintendo fucked up all their big franchises on the console and released some of their worst games of all time.

If you're talking about mario and zelda the CDI ones was their worst games of all time

finally

This was their second console to go against a Sony console and both were more powerful than Sony’s offerings. Sony’s “power” came from discs, cheap, easy to put licensed music on them, easy to put cut scenes on them. The discs held the power and it brought all the browns and normies in

PS2 bandwidth and fill rates will ALWAYS SHIT ALL OVER the GoyCube you pathetic little tendie

the games now look worse than the ps2

I dunno man, I had only played ps2 and I was mindblown when I saw Metroid Prime and REmake being played at a friend's house.

the n64 was stronger than ps1

but the n64 was even more retarded than the gamecube with the cartridge and licensing games so even when they adopted cd's they adopted mini one's for i don't know size or smth

such as?

It doesn't matter because Xbox mogged them both. Xbox with 2TB HDD and modchip is the peak 3d gaming. It's missing TDU 1 and Swat 4, but it's quite close to perfection (all the tactical shooters, all the best racing games). If you're an autist you can even play PSO on it, just like on gaycube. Only thing GC had going for it was metroid prime and melee, but time has shown that latter turned out to be a tranny game. Big Xbox W.

pathetic little tendie

If i coplimented a certain console that makes me want to suck the company's ceo cock and hate every other console, I consider the ps2 the best console ever made and own both the fat and slim, but unlike you retard i don't follow a company that doesn't give me anything in return of supporting it

That's an extraordinarily hollow victory.

Metroid Prime

this was a nintendo exlusive i'm talking about cross platform games like nfs mw 2005, also if were talking about exlusives compare metroid prime to gran turismo 4

less cars, but gt3 > gt4

finally

The SNES was more powerful than the Genesis. The N64 was more powerful than the PSX.

gt3 professional league is absolute garbage i like gt2 more than gt3 and i didn't play a lot of gt4 to decide

N64 actually had games tho, GC less so

Nintendo shot themselves in the foot due to their obsession with anti-piracy despite the fact that they historically have the easiest hardware to emulate. Sony wasn't even trying to take the family friendly approach, they just love pushing storage format trends and they lucked out with DVDs becoming the big new thing. A ton of people grabbed a PS2 purely for the DVD playing capability because it was cheaper than most dedicated DVD players and you got a console as a bonus. When one platform has a radically higher install base then of course devs are going to want to put their games on that platform. It just makes sense.

Zelda and Mario

Skyward sword is the worst mainline zelda game.
Mario sunshine is the worst mainline 3d title for mario.
Also Windwaker is the 2nd best game behind OoT.

The SNES was more powerful than the Genesis

agreed, but genesis developers always seemed more determined to push the hardware to its limits

The N64 was more powerful than the PSX

the N64 was bottlenecked to hell in so many places that it didn't end up more powerful in practice
SGI bit off more than they could chew

Yamauchi: FUCK YOU IF YOU DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT WE OWN THE N64 CARTRIDGE FORMAT, WE WILL NOT MAKE IT CHEAPER FOR YOU NIGGER, WE WILL NOT INCREASE THE SIZE, WHAT YOU GON DO? RUN TO SEGA? ID LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY

you guys always downplay how jewish Nintendo was acting when they were on top
the fact that everyone jumped ship when decent competition showed up is really telling

Wind Waker is the worst Zelda game.

People downplay it because it had nothing to do with owning the format and making them pay more. It was that carts were more expensive but better for video games and still are.

it had nothing to do with owning the supply and willingly ripping off developers

Nintendo just as quickly ditched cartridges next gen for another format they had total control over

Yamauchi why are you posting, i didnt know they had internet in hell

>Nintendo just as quickly ditched cartridges next gen for another format they had total control over

Because Sony had control of the CD rom format, same with Bluray. They knew that quality stopped being important over price when Sony came about so they had to move to a cheaper format.

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you.

They knew that quality stopped being important over price when Sony came about so they had to move to a cheaper format.

You really are just making the funniest excuses for a company who just wanted to nickle and dime everybody back in the day

I really hope you're not trying to say "look at how good the Game Gear was" with this because holy fuck that thing was dogshit. I don't care if it was stronger, it used 9x more batteries.

This is what Wind Waker secondaries actually believe

Skyward Sword is better than WW and TP for exactly one playthrough but is EXCRUCIATING to replay.

Sony had control of the CD rom

didn't the sega saturn also have cd's and also why did they use mini cd instead of dvd even that the ps2 and og xbox used it

I've just realized most of the people crying about Switch 2 game prices never knew gaming without load times.

it used 9x more batteries

so what? Wait... tendies get to use the "I'm actually poor" excuse when it favors them? But when it comes to switch, it's ok to pay a little bit extra like 80-90? Wooooooow

so what?

The product failed largely for that reason. Concession accepted.

Nigger those consoles are 30 years apart. What are you doing?

The product failed largely for that reason.

So tendies win when they're poor, but they also win when they're not poor? Doesn't make any sense. Sounds more like "I-I'm gonna buy it because nintendo made it, no matter how much it costs!"

fallacy

Concession remains accepted. You lost, try again another time.

Biggest cope in history is Gamecube kids insisting that PS2 only won because it played DVDs.

almost no game used the full disc, the compression and lower resolution were due to transfer speeds and the relatively small texture cache compared to main memory size, even though I personally think it was quite big for the time. The small size mainly prevented studios from doing FMV (which is a good thing, actually!)
This is trivial to prove if you look at wii games, that used regular DVDs but only looked marginally better due to the hardware being exactly a gamecube, but 50% overclocked.
the PS2 and XBOX could afford much smaller texture caches because their main memory were fast
but besides that, the gamecube (with the wii's overclock) was better at raw number crunching, and the flexibility of its rendering pipeline allowed more complex effects than the PS2 could pull off.

Nigger those consoles are 30 years apart.

what? game gear is 90, gameboy is 89. These indian nintendo shills are lying really hard now

do not redeem

Wind waker is terrible, not a single aspect of it is better than the other 3D zeldas. I'd even put the dungeons in botw/totk above the ones in ww

It took Nintendo 16 years not be cheap fucks and finally include a backlit screen on their device

N64 actually had games tho, GC less so

Is this a joke? The N64 had 388 games released for it. The Gamecube had 641. The N64 was the bigger failure by far, it allowed Sony to completely dominate the market. The Gamecube never stood a chance because Sony already had 3/4s of the market after the N64 failed.

Yes, I will pay extra for a rechargable battery you fucking retard.

You're comparing the pricing of consoles released over 3 decades ago to the Switch 2 you dipshit.

The point stands, you can't say "oh I was poor then (when I wasn't alive, conveniently", "but now that I have my parents buy me a console (I'm still underage), that extra that Switch 2 costs isn't so bad anon". This just shows spinelessness/hypocricy

Ok, so game gear shouldn't have failed because of batteries then.

finally

They have been doing that all the time you zoomzoom.

underage

Battery technology was dogshit back then. Your only realistic choice was buying six batteries for every 3-5 hours of play. Rechargeable batteries only lasted ~2 hours, took longer to charge back then and quickly deteriorated to the point of struggling to hold a charge at all.

One saving grace of Nintendo stubbornly using cartridges for the N64 was the prohibitive cost limited the shovelware that plagued sixth gen console, including the GameCube. A sizable chunk of those 641 games are multiplatform and/or complete fucking trash. This was far less of a problem on N64, even though most the good multiplats on it were inherently inferior to their PS1 counterpart if not a completely different game.

The point stands

No it doesn't. Nintendo makes toys for kids. What kid today has played on a newly purchased gameboy and thought to themselves yup this was reasonably priced, you mental midget? Take your fucking meds.

They have been doing that all the time you zoomzoom

they were monopolying the cartridge before the gamecube which is one of the main reason why sony slapped their asses with ps1 i said that when they finally made a normal console with cd's they made it retarded again like you

Israel won. Cope and seethe.

I misunderstood your point, disregard me I suck cocks.

Israel won.

still they didn't, war still exist you stupid retard

Kind of interesting that Nintendo fucked themselves due to fears of Piracy, but the Switch and DS, both literally easily hackable and softmoddable with a fucking SD card, were both their most successful consoles ever.

you forgot the wii which can be hacked in less than a minute

Nintendo don't really care about hardware sales. Their first party software sales has always been their bread and butter.

Based. Israel will conquer and rule righteously, as the Bible says, as God has willed it. All Christians the world over support Israel, because as it is written, "Those that bless Israel shall be blessed, and those who curse Israel shall be cursed."

Nintendo didn't develop those, kid

It’s the only Zelda I started and couldn’t finish because it’s excruciating to play period. It fucking sucks. WW isn’t perfect but I could play through it in a single sitting SS was grating to play longer than two hours.

Their still the worst mario and zelda's games, kid

Based. Israel will conquer and rule righteously, as the Bible says, as God has willed it. All Christians the world over support Israel, because as it is written, "Those that bless Israel shall be blessed, and those who curse Israel shall be cursed."

It wasn't better than Xbox though. And it had less 3rd parties due to shooting itself in the foot with its memory format yet again.

The whole point of the gameboy was to make it actually practical. No color. No backlight. Sure, that cheapens it a lot, but that’s the point. This had to be practical for road trips and your average family. It had to be attractive to parents.

And it was. Simple as. Game Gear was just stupid and failure to understand reality.

Why did Mario Sunshine filter so many plebs? It was truly the Final Fantasy 8 of the Mario series.

They wanted them to be harder to pirate. Didn't work though

I would have loved to see final fantasy 7 being on 21 cartridge

Kind of interesting that Nintendo fucked themselves due to fears of Piracy

It had nothing to do with piracy. It was because Sony controlled the format and they previously tried to backstab Nintendo.

GG was more expensive

more prone to failure

guzzled batteries like an unattended baby

Gameboy was considerably cheaper

made of that old school nintendium that could survive anything, including bombs

lasted a long time on 4 AAs

the one that cost more to buy and power wasn't the nickel and diming machine because MUH COLOR!

You're defending a literal anti-consumer machine that pushed the cost on to the consumer, and yes that's what anti-consumer means.

finally make a console stronger than the competitor

this was the case or pretty close to the case for every console leading up to the wii

Gamecube being a failure is why Wii was intentionally made to be underpowered and not HD. Iwata got all the blame when Yamauchi was the one who enforced it.

basically this, nintendo knew the technology wasn't there yet, so they had to make the right compromises, and time proved that they were right

Dont forget the dogshit controller that doesnt have enough buttons

at least it wasn't made for 3 handed people like n64

>finally make a console stronger than the competitor

It's only stronger than the dreamcast, and even then not by much.

Get the rechargeable battery pack. Game Gear had far superior games for sure. Nothing on gayboy is as good as GG Shinobi 1 and 2. You don't even know any good game boy games. Why defend it? Because it has pokeman? Tool.

you can tell immediately someone has never actually touched a n64 controller whenever they pull this "three handed" shit out. it's weird, for sure, but it was also the first system to try having an analog stick and a d-pad for multiple types of games. it''s very comfortable and seamless within seconds of holding it, just use your left hand for either the left or middle stick depending on what kind of game you're playing.

retard

Damn that's a whole lot of projection. The Game Gear sucked because battery technology wasn't up to the task. Simple as that.

b-b-but the rech-

I already covered that in a previous post. Battery technology was dogshit at the time and rechargeable batteries fucking sucked.

finally make a console stronger than the competitor

The N64 was the most powerful console of its generation and the SNES was more powerful than the Genesis.

It was also indisputably stronger than PS2.

RE4 was primarely made for the gc but most of the game were downgraded from the ps2 to the GC

it was also the first system to try having an analog stick

yeah and it was absolute garbage analog

What? You have no idea what you're talking about.

Why cope? It's all true.

open world/large world

True Crime: Streets of LA/NY

Spider-Man 2

Wind Waker

And recall a Wii is almost identical to the GC:

Xenoblade 1

All of these games had cut backs on cube. Wind Waker is 96% empty ocean.

Says open world is lesser on cube

Shows an entirely interior cutscene

lmao

because it lacks built in polygon culling

Be specific. Backface culling? Fast depth culling? Culling triangles outside the viewport?
All of these are there.

weird staggered memory set up

Again, be specific. It has an extremely fast framebuffer and fast main memory for the time.

so particle effects had to look like they're from the previous gen

Particle effects are where the PS2 falls down. Its framebuffer memory is only fast as long as you aren't changing memory banks. Whenever it changes from one bank to another, the penalty for bank switching is gigantic. This is terrible for particles.

The SNES was more powerful than the Genesis

lol

The main CPU in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive is a Motorola 68000 clocked at 7.67 MHz

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) operates at a nominal CPU clock speed of 3.58 MHz

One saving grace of Nintendo stubbornly using cartridges for the N64 was the prohibitive cost limited the shovelware

Ah, that classic cope. "It had so fewer games that entire genres were missing on it, so it had less shovelware" is just a cope for when the competition has a much larger library of games, which means both it'll had have a greater of games, with more shovelware being a consequence.

It's pathetic seeing this an excuse for why the N64 had 1/3rd the library of the PS1. If "less shovelware" is indicative how good a console is, then I guess the NES, Genesis, and SNES are the worst systems ever made.

Because Sony had control of the CD rom format

No, they didn't, they only co-developed the format with conglomerate of other companies, including Phillips, Apple, and Microsoft. Fucking Sega used CDs for the Saturn.

It was because Sony controlled the format

Again, no they fucking didn't. They didn't collect royalties or any shit like that because even Sega used CDs for the Saturn. If "Sony controlled the format", the Saturn would've used a different medium altogether.

lol

Absolute retard. The Genesis was only better in one or two aspects while the SNES wiped the floor with it in every other regard. This is the whole reason why SEGA went all-in on the whole speed marketing campaign. It's all they had.

SNES has more powerful graphics hardware, Genesis has a more powerful main CPU. For more than 50% of games, the SNES CPU was powerful enough that the deficit didn't matter. There was no way for the Genesis to make up the graphics gap.

Genesis was better in ways that mattered and paved the way for new genres and game play. Super Nintendo was too slow for this.

Doo doo, doo, doo doo doo, DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

youtu.be/eQMri29IJEI?si=ZQnvoR__LKWbJWHv

Piracy concerns. People put more effort into stealing Nintendo games than any other publisher because they’re better.

The Genesis was only better in one or two aspects while the SNES wiped the floor with it in every other regard.

Yeah, like more colors, mode 7, and a uh......

the SNES CPU was powerful enough that the deficit didn't matter

That's why nearly every shooter and action game on SNES slows down when too many sprites are on screen, yeah it totally didn't matter.

new gameplay

Holding down and catching up to the camera during an autoplay section is not "gameplay."

Total zoomer death right now

Metroid is one of Nintendo's lowest-selling franchises. IIRC the best selling Metroid game sold like 2 million copies. Core gamers only.
