You are making it sound like the N64 hasn't realeased 1 DENCENT game this
whole year. Come on now, some of them have been just plain horrible, but
then again look at Smash Brothers, DNZH, and now DK64 and Jet Force Gemni -
they all look like pretty good games too me. And at this crutial time
period where the life of the PSX and N64 seems to be hanging by a very thin
thread - I wouldn't change your views. The war doesn't appear to be between
PSX and N64 as much anymore, more like PSX and N64 vs. Dreamcast. They are
both in serious danger right now...

The reality of it is that it will have less flaws then it would've in
December. Also it will just be a better game. So what - the curse of
Nintendo continues, like you didn't expect that? I'll wait until April - I
will still be alive then.

Well you just did somthing stupid!
You may not like the delay, but um, name a good PSX title coming anytime soon!
FF8 is already out, hahaha!
By the way I own it and it rulez.
Madden 2000 on n64 is way better than the PSX game.
Zelda Gaiden will be here soon enough.
I feel sorry for you!

I show love to those who come real with it.......
Life's a bitc* but I deal with it!
O and Sega is pretty crappy.

Once isn't a big deal. You are.

> You may not like the delay, but um, name a good PSX title coming anytime

Well, let's have a looksy... Suikoden 2... Grandia... Army Men: Sarge's
Heros... Tomorrow Never Dies... Metal Gear Solid: The VR Missions... Final
Fantasy Anthology... Rainbow Six... Resident Evil 3... Twisted Metal 4...
Die Hard Trilogy 2... Gauntlet Legends... Vandal Hearts 2... Colony Wars:
Red Sun... Tenchu 2...

Wow, there's hardly any!
I'm sure N64 has waaayyy more than that. Let's see...

Gauntlet Legends... Hybrid Heaven... Starcraft... Hydro Thunder (sucks
compared to DC version)... Rainbow Six... probably Donkey Kong 64... (haha)
Perfect Dark... Toe Jam and Earl III (Genesis sequel :P)... Die Hard 64

Funny how most of those are inferior versions of games already out on other
platforms.

> FF8 is already out, hahaha!

Indeed it is. What's so funny?

> By the way I own it and it rulez.

Didn't expect that.

> Madden 2000 on n64 is way better than the PSX game.

And I suppose you've played both.

> Zelda Gaiden will be here soon enough.

Vaporware. Too bad for you.

> I feel sorry for you!

I don't. He has good reasoning.

> I show love to those who come real with it.......

So you must hate yourself.

> Life's a bitc* but I deal with it!

Yeah, with one hand tied behind your back, right?

> O and Sega is pretty crappy.

Such an incredible lamer mentality it would take to put that in your sig.
I've proven the statement to be false, now you try to prove it to be true.

As I said, fanboys don't switch. You can't become a fanboy overnight.

> sound familiar?

Yes it does, in fact. Wasn't it the very same gibberish Trevon has been
insisting on for months?

Hi.

I couldnt name a playstation title comming out anytime soon. You know why?
Because i dont need to spend time looking up release dates on the games
comming out. I could goto the local video store once a fortnight and look at
a wall of new playstation games to choose from, whereas with nintendo I am
forced to search the net to learn how many months i have to wait for some
particular game, only to relize that it has been delayed for the 2 dozen'th
time.

a) I'm not a kid, just a pissed off gamer...
and b) I bought both systems when they were released, but lately i've been
questioning the value of the nintendo. Is six months a long time to have not
used a system that is supposed to be the most advanced?

I too have given up on the N64, I'll keep it just in case anything decent
comes out but I'm fed up of few games and fuzzy graphics. So i'll buy a
playstation as well (having advised everyone to buy the superior N64). the
Playstation now has an unrivalled selection of games and even platinum games
are top quality.
I can wait no longer for golf, boxing, tennis, rallying, athletics,
fighting, rugby, etc etc on the N64 - they ain't happening. Now we here
Ridge Racer 64 isn't going to be based on the new playstation version. I am
a very pissed off N64 owner. All we have to look forward to is more cute
games, Mario Golf, DK64. And the Perfect Dark delay is too much - the end.
It seems to take too long to develop on the N64, and with dolphin on the way
the N64 is dead.
At least the playstation 2 is backwards compatible.

I'm glad you realized that Playstation is indeed the better system with
better games and better variety.

Playstation is quite simply the best videogame system ever created. N64
doesn't even come close. Dreamcast just came out, so it will take a while to
see if it is better than Playstation.

Nintendo's marketing plan of "we have the superior system - anti-aliasing,
z-buffering, etc" seemed to fool only the North Americans, where Nintendo is
selling a lot of systems (but Playstation has still sold a lot more in North
America). In every other part of the world, N64 is a flop, with Playstation
totally dominating it. I guess more people outside of North America care
more about the games (Playstation) and less about the hype (N64).
