Famitsu didn't give even one of them a really good score. If I remember the highest was something like 36 / 40. Even the N64 launched with Mario, which if I remember correctly easily got a 40 / 40. So what if all of the systems were sold in one day... big deal. That's a whole bunch of Japanese people giving away $370. The reason I say giving away is because there aren't any games avaliable yet that take practically any advantage of the systems capabilities. In fact, most of the games are merely sequels (SFEX3, RR5, GT2000, etc.). And with these games the only difference in their 128 bit incarnations from the 32 bit ones is that they have prettier graphics. Yay. Granted, there are a few games like Kessen which are made wholy new for the system but most of those were flawed due to a rush to meet the launch day. I agree with Dave on this one: big whoop! Heck, even the N64's launch day was better (if I remember correctly there were people waiting outside of stores in tents for up to three days before the launch - please, correct me if I'm wrong on the three days). I believe that the PSX2 was a complete failure launchwise because of its lack of even one top notch launch title. Hopefully the Dolphin will see the same kind of launch as the N64 but even that is doubtful at this point (with all of the anti-nintendo stuff going around). >> Actually, Super Mario 64 got a 39/40 (I know, one point, but still). The only two games to get a perfect out of Famitsu were Zelda and Soul Calibur. With the harsh way they rate games, I'd say the 32 scores are pretty damn good. At least that's my opinion. I do, however, believe that if they keep up the titles like these, they might not be as successful as they'd hoped. I do believe that Dolphin can still do well on the launch day like N64, but they need at least 4 or 5 good launch titles. It has been proven that in Japan, the people do buy the systems for the games (remember the 98 holiday season? Dreamcast was beat by N64 with Zelda). If Nintendo plans their launch correctly, I believe they can do it. I am still a bit concerned with their situation, though. - -Eric- [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 07:39:18 EST From: Nutz4n64@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] PSX2: big whoop In a message dated 03/05/2000 9:25:46 PM Pacific Standard Time, Devil929@aol.com writes: << but with the possibility of Dolphin ports/upgrades and the fact the PS2 games haven't offered much new, my reason for picking up a PS2 is none.

Anyway's I think once the first few new concept games comes along with full PS2 graphical power, like a RPG or a platform, then you'll see something. They didn't have much selection, mostly racing and fighting. hOoce'D oN FoNikS wORkeD fOR mEe Cheers, Jimmy (A.K.A.

I personally only have mildly enjoyed Capcom's latest efforts, if that, and the best things that have come out of them of late, IMO, are their GBC ports of old NES favorites. Konami has also become a bit muddled with their releases, although some games (MGS, ISS series) are certainly helping. And....no Rare in 'your book'...or is that #5? >> Well, Capcom made RE2. Of course, Angel Studios (I think), helped on the 64 version, but it was a very good game. I still remember those days of NES when Capcom produced one of the greatest game series ever made: Mega Man. Maybe that's why I still hold them in such high regards as I do. Oh, and Aldo, I know how you feel about RE2, but this is how I feel. - -Eric- [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ End of n64-digest V1 #1123 ************************** [ To quit the n64-digest mailing list (big mistake), send the message ] [ "unsubscribe n64-digest" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ]
