Dave The SEGA Dreamcast will indeed cure your acne. It will make you popular with the opposite sex, bring you material rewards beyond your wildest dreams and, most likely, cause passersby to pull out their wallets and hand you $5. The Dreamcast will mow the lawn for you, provide heat in the winter, cool fresh breezes in the summer and can be used, in case of emergency, as a flotation device. Also, the Dreamcast gives off a lemony-fresh scent and will one day unite all humanity under the gleaming banner of peace.

Ha! Squaresoft is exactly what Nintendo needs to increase their 3rd party support. Lately, their games have been leaning more to the visuals than the gameplay, but thats a different story. The point is, games by Squaresoft SELLS. With amazing visuals and popular titles, they do a really good job at dishing them out to the consumer and letting the consumer gobble it all up. I thought FF8 was a flop, but it still became a great selling game. Nintendo sorely lacks in the 3rd party support area. If they were able to get Squaresoft, a lot of other 3rd parties would also be interested in the dolphin and "jump on the bandwagon" shortly thereafter. This way, you can still expect quality game titles for the dolphin, and you can also get a little bit of that quantity stuff too...something that the N64 has been sorely lacking. C'mon, a month can pass by and they don't release a single new game; thats poor on the N64's part. ~Cy In a message dated 5/19/00 2:58:19 PM Mountain Daylight Time, Alucard099@aol.com writes: << They will get those third party developers back.

"In Defense of..." articles aren't written because the editors have too much time on their hands. Its usually the sympton of a much bigger problem, and in this case, PS2's vulnerabilities have been blown wide open after E3 and I am sure the fans are under a lot of pressure to rationalize some of these weaknesses. That is what I find funny because a lot of the rationalizing done by Daily Radar are on such shallow level. Some arguments being made are with such desperation it detracts from the point complete. Case and point, the aliasing issue. The editor points out in a rather humorous fashion that DC has more aliasing than PS2.... wow.... so does that really mean anything? The pointremains that DC does anti-aliasing in hardware and ps2 will have to do it in software and take a big hit on the hardware and the article fails completely to address this. A colleague of mine said the editor ought to open up a geocities account and start a ps2 fan page. - -- Dexter S.

I said nothing about it being the game of the show. I don't think it should either since it was not actually playable at the show. It just made one of the biggest impressions and clearly showed that despite the PS2s programming difficulties...impressive games can still be made. Stryder >> Another thing that has been said about the N64. Just because a developer can overcome developement difficulties doesn't mean that everyone else will. - -Eric- [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 20:28:40 +0100 (BST) From: Chris Watson Subject: Re: [N64] MGS In a message dated 5/19/00 9:27:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time, alexh@ivanhoe.starway.net.au writes: > You know ... who's to say MGS2 won't be released on Dolphin?

You used to be above this sort of thing when it came to debates. As for money...yeah, Nintendo has always been great at making money off a horde of lack-luster games with a great one or 2 a year. Good for them...but Sony has hordes more money...so where are you going with this? Stryder >> Where are you going with that? Sony has hordes more money mainly because they are not just a video game company. They make TVs, DVD players, VCRs, stereo systems, etc. And just because they have more money doesn't mean that they will do better in the next generation of games. Besides, his point was that Nintendo is mainly trying to capitalize on the current generation, not that they are going to make a lot more money than Sony at this time. - -Eric- [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ End of n64-digest V1 #1234 ************************** [ To quit the n64-digest mailing list (big mistake), send the message ] [ "unsubscribe n64-digest" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ]
