Well, Zelda certainly takes the cake for me. Ocarina of Time is easily one of the greatest games ever made. And despite my apprehension at the new look, Windwaker was very good. I await Twilight Princess with great anticipation.

One also can't discount the greatness that is mario. Mario is one of the reasons I scoured a half-dozen antique stores, {yes, antique stores} looking for a working NES. Found one too.

There is also this one game, "Beyond Good & Evil" I'm not sure but I think it only came out on the GC. It's one of the best games I've ever played. Sadly, it didn't do very well. It was supposedly going to be the first part of a trilogy, but the poor sales put a nix on that. This is why I swear undying hatred of anyone who doesn't buy this game. Go, pick up a copy, NOW! You won't be disappointed.

and no Ragnatoad did it for me, and I'm sure he'll do one for us.
I may(read will) steal your current one though

And SSB is in my opinion the greatest multi player on the Gc and the 2ns greatest on the N64, Golden Eye just pips it.

I'm also wondering if it's wise to put in Snake, but zero suit Samus, Pit and metaknight look wicked, so do the special attcks.

It got me into the Nintendo games really. Most of all of the Classic Nintendo Games I liked(I wasn't really into RPG games at that time though ). Metroid is another favorite of mine. From the old versions to new. They were always challenging to me, especially now the Metroid Prime and Prime 2 games(I don't have a DS so I have yet to play Hunters). I would always get lost and wouldn't know where to go and the boss battles are some of my favorite.
Also, the greatest of all Multiplayer game (In my opinion of course) is from Nintendo also, Super Smash Bros. It has most of the classic all-star characters in it and I enjoyed it much. It's replay value to me was never-ending. It also surpirsed me a bit that Snake will be in the SSBB for the Wii

Hey welcome omega! Speaking of SSBB for the Wii did anyone else here anything about kid icarus being in it? I think I saw a picture of him in one of the demo pictures. I think that would be excellent. I still wonder why there was never a kid icarus II?

He's a confirmed character in it, but the game didn't prove popular enough for a sequel.

I think Nintendo's being stingy with information about characters.
That's a really good site though, character info, the trailer, and 'A Theme With Emotion' which you can download.
I really like that song, short though it may be.

In the trailer, it's shows Nintendogs, I wonder if and how they'll get incorparated.

Wow that is a cool web site! Who knew that they could put samus in a game without her power suit. That will be crazy to get use to samus not being an orangish redish color. Also perhaps the Nintendogs have taken lessons from the dogs on Resident Evil (like biting peoples heads and stuff) because then they would be great characters to use. I always freak out when those dogs in the first Resident Evil come jumping through those glass windows.

I also never had any idea that the kid icarus guys name was pit? For some stupid reason I always thought that his name was kid Icarus (I guess it's kind of like the band Pink Floyd where no one is named Pink or Floyd.)

I don't like the way she looks though.
I imagine she'll be quicker, but have less power, hopefully they won't take away all of her long range attacks.
And Snake, they say he'll use just use explosives, which kinda sucks but is better than...http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=197.

I really don't think Snake fits into the dynamics of the game.

I have to admit that comic made me LOL (poor mario) Still I'll tell you why I think that they have included Samus without her suit and Snake. It's the almighty dollar (I can't blame them I'd do it for money.)

My thinking behind this is that Nintendo feels that the game will sale better if they include a tough girl character. Perhaps girls are getting sick of the cutesy Nintendo girls and they are looking for a girl that can kick butt. Of course Nintendo always had the kick butt girl but she was covered up in armor.

Also snake is their because people will buy the new SSB just because they like metal gear solid. Also he is another tough looking character and Nintendo is trying to toughen up their image (make it more adult.)

I could be wrong in my thinking however anyother ideas?

[-Xu-]

Yeah, but Nintendo should know by now, people will still buy the game and loads of people will especially for wireless.
No ones really bothered about the kiddy image, on many occasions my mum or dad have walked into my room and I'm shouting at the screen whilst beating Peach to death with Pikachu.
Millions of people still play Pokemon including myself, but they aren't trying to butch it up.
I hope they don't go too far and ruin the game, zero suit samus is ok, but Snake's a step too far. And I do fear it's because of money. I just hope they don't sell out too much.

man i would have to say the old skool super smario games were totally kick ass and sorry Samus i didnt really get into metroid untill it was released for the cube as not Metroid fusion(thought that was shit for Cube and Ds) but Metroid prime and metroid prime 2 with dark samus.I was really into into old Zelda games thanks to my bro he is introduced them to me and showed me the light!
I was really into N64 for three reasons :-
1) Perfect darK - the most legendary first person ever
2) Original super smash bros. - ok isnt as fun as the one for the cube but i thoght it was still pretty ace!
3) Zelda link to the past-do i need to explain why this game is awesome?
i am really looking forward for the new nintendo console called the wiii i dont kno wwhy the hell they changed the name it sounded kooler as the "Revolution" man i cant wait to play smash bros online!!!!

Anyone have any idea why they changed the name too the Wii? I have to admit that it does sound a little corny. I mean I'm starting to get use to it and it is easier to say, but what the heck does it mean?

My guess is that maybe they wanted a name that stood out? Still even though Wii does stand out does it stand out in a good way?

I think they should have gone with the Nintendo "Wicked" that would have been sweet becasue then you could tell people that the Nintendo Wicked is Wicked fun.

I prefered the 'Revolution' but wii is still ok, I can't remember what the wi part means, but the the double i, signifies luck, I think. Or somethingalong those lines.

I know that the original word Nintendo roughly translated means "leave luck to heaven" or "in heaven's hands." So it is interesting that they would pick a name that also means something! Still I do think that Wii just like Nintendo will quickly become a household word.

[b_Z]

that sounds like a good club.

Why they changed it to Wii? I'm certain I saw that on G4...can't remember exactly...I think it was purely a ploy to get free advertising. The name makes people go wtf? so they tell other people about it so they can go wtf? and they tell more people, and they all end up looking up the Wii to see wtf is up with it. Bingo bango boom, free advertising.

Well that seems to make sense to me. I mean everytime I have told someone that I plan to buy the Wii there is always a 10 minute converstation on why it is called the wii. Afterwards I'm pretty sure that there is no forgeting that it is called the Wii.

I really hope however that Nintendo starts picking up somemore of the titles that it use to be known for such as resident evil, Final Fantasy, etc. That would be awsome!
