I agree with the majority of the list, but... I think the virtual boy should replace Rare. It seems like Nintendo sold Rare at the right time. They don't seem to be doing much for Microsoft.

"It seems like Nintendo sold Rare at the right time. They don't seem to be doing much for Microsoft."

Why the H E L L didnt they mention the Wii Storage problem? that should be number one! Why limit space storage an have Virtual ware & Wii Ware Galore? People who hate on Space in system get this

Wii had 20GB Virtual & Wii ware would be selling like Krazy IMO!

Number 5 is a bit of.
I have seen some screens of the n64 FF7 game, and they were nothing like FF7 as we know it now.
The game originally planned for the N64 had different characters and different storyline. Although N64 could have had a Full RPG game, just not with all the prerendered backgrounds( sometimes that changed into a FMV) and Cut scenes.

Seriously this could have been an awesome Final fantasy =)
FF6 has a great story too, so story telling was already matured enough in the SquareSoft department(FF4 rocks too btw xD)

It's a shame, i'm still interested in how that game would have become as a whole.

Number 4 is also off.
The problem was that the Ps2 already managed to get enough people to their side. Developers saw money in it and basically ditched the GCN. Not because of "memory" restriction. Some developers even took the "multi-disc" way....so that wasn't the problem at all.
GCN just sold less, so developers had little reason to develop for it.

Edit: Well it wasn't sure if it was meant for the N64, those are FF6 characters, but those gfx werent possible on the PS1, so its safe to say that it was indeed planned for the N64.

Nintendo selling Rare was the biggest mistake they ever made.Without Rare,the N64 would not have stood a chance against the PS1.Rare without Nintendo is like the X-Men without Wolverine

gumgum995698d ago

Rare without Nintendo is like the X-Men without Wolverine

Very nice analogy, Steve.

bubbles on me

Mahr5698d ago (Edited 5698d ago )

Can't say I really agree, as I'm wondering what the heck Rare's doing on the list at all.

In the first place, Nintendo only sold their 49% share in the company to Microsoft *after* Microsoft had already gotten the 51% majority share from the people who had actually founded the company. There aren't exactly a lot of options when the majority share in a company goes to one of your competitors.

And in the second place, even if one takes the stance "Well, Nintendo didn't try hard enough to keep them!", Rareware lost tons of key personnel even before anyone knew about the sale (if memory serves, a lot of them went off to form Free Radical). A lot of the people behind games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Conkers Bad Fur Day, et cetera, which were arguably Rareware's best games, weren't even there anymore -- and a few more left after the sale went down.

"By allowing Microsoft to acquire Rare Nintendo lost possibly the biggest asset they had."

An asset that hasn't really made anything on the same level as it did in its heyday, in terms of sales and critical acclaim at least.

that stuff is a tech demop run on silicon graphics workstations so they could learn 3d modeling and code
it never would have reached n64like that

ChickeyCantor5698d ago (Edited 5698d ago )

If you see how good FF7/ff8 characters looked in battle on the PS1(for that time), the N64 could have done this easily.

Edit:
If you meant it wouldnt be that what you see in the screens ...no.
That was indeed a demo. But if there was a n64 FF it could have looked like that ( and seeing that there are far better looking games released on the N64 it could have looked much better than that)

That what you see in the screens is actually an reenactment of FF6

gumgum995698d ago

I didnt expect this list to be very factual, but I kinda like this list.

Many of the points made are true(mostly because of playstation's dominance and the ill-fated Gamecube) and have been the main reason why Playstation has won two consecutive console wars.

Of course, Nintendo is now back on top thanks to the Wii so none of this matters now.

Next up: the top 5 on why the Wii owns this generation, period.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic6d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?

Not clicking on your article otherwise.
