Hopefully there wont be shit loads of kiddy games.

That's soooo BIG!!
it's like that square mac computer

about the kiddie oriented thing... i read a statement by the president of nintendo that said this console will concentrate on the younger gaming community.
While the xbox concentrates on the hardcore gamers, that need the best graphics, best detail, etc.

Is it a Nintendo? Looks like a Panasonic to me...

BTW, ever notice Sega is always way ahead of it's time, but no one ever buys their stuff? The Sega GameGear or whatever is was was color, and long side to side. Everyone bought the inferior monocolor Gameboy. Now Gameboy advance, like 10 years later, is color and long side to side. Sega CD was like the only CD system, and no one bought it, instead they stuck to cartridge Nintendo systems. Now everything is CD (or DVD, but still disc) based. Sega came out with the first 128 bit system, and no one liked it. Then came the PS2, and everyone got it.

it's so true.... i think Sega was the best video game company in the world, but nobody got it for some reason... i think they just had bad marketing (main reason)

but they did have a couple systems that were popular like the Sega Genesis, everybody had that

i also had a game gear when it came out... now i have a Dreamcast and a PS2, and you know what? PS2 isn't that much better, on a scale of 1-10, i would give dreamcast a 9 and the PS2 a 9.5
There haven't been any games for PS2 that have really BLOWN AWAY the dreamcast, there are so many racing games for DC too, and they have all the good RPGs like Shenmue. NFL2K1 for Dreamcast is the best football game still and i play it all the time against other people around the world.
Dreamcast was the first 128-bit system also the first system with a built-in modem so that you can have multi-player games on your dreamcast, suprisingly NO LAG!! (most of the time)

also i read that dreamcast only uses like 60% of it's potential system power

that means it could have games that are WAY better than PS2.... but since they stopped making them cause of some bullshit goin on in Sega, they didn't move to the stage of the really advanced games.

btw, Tennis 2K2 for dreamcast......... most fun game EVER!!

The biggest money maker at Sega was the software, the hardware was just a way for them to promote and sell their games at a maximum profit. They realized they could make a better profit by just selling the games (software) and kill their hardware department. Just a bottom line call.

Still, Dreamcast was bomb as hell. I'm sad that development will cease for it. It's gonna feel weird playing the next Sonic title on my PS2...

yeah they're still making games for the dreamcast though, for like another 2 years i think

a bunch of games came out lately like Tennis 2K2, NFL 2K2... and all the other sports games

You wouldn't think a tennis game would be fun, but holy hell, Sega hast the magic touch!!

I'm still happy with my N64, hell, even a super Ninetendo would keep me happy! I do all my hardcore gaming on computers these days, which I'm sure has slowed sales of gaming consoles.

I think the problem with the Game Gear was its huge appetite for the 'AA's.

Plus I always prfered the Game Boy games and I'm not alone.

Segas biggest (only?) success was the Genesis/Megadrive. Its other systems alwas played second fiddle to Nintendo, or more recently, Sony.

what are you guys talkin bout?? :huh:

Lizard: if you've played the really good dreamcast games you'd see there's almost no difference between them and PS2 games
there is no RPG on any system that could even compare to Shenmue. and NFL2K1 is the best football game on any system
