Gamecube ideas 2004-10-13 15:37:53 Reply

I just thought of it since ive been seeing so many g cube threads.
I have 10 ideas to make it rule.

1-Make a thing to go online.
2-Think more about the games and not the graphics. All these games have amazing graphics but alot of the games suck.
3-Make a thing to get better graphics.
4-Make longer games.
5-Have more magazines and more sports games.The sports games are bad but6 im more of an adventure gamer.
6-make normal size cds.
7-Make cordless plugs(not counting the controller.
8-Get more workers so games come out faster.
9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.
10-Most importantly a better controller.

1-Make a thing to go online.

I agree this is the one aspect Nintendo lacks

2-Think more about the games and not the graphics. All these

A few suck but the good ones really shine and more than compensate for the odd few that arnt up to standard

3-Make a thing to get better graphics.

hypocrite

4-Make longer games.

What?!? most gamecube games are alot bigger than alot of PS2 games excluding FF

5-Have more magazines and more sports games.The sports games are bad but6 im more of an adventure gamer.

Magazines will make the console better how?! and the sport game thing well thats just opinion.

6-make normal size cds.

Size dosn't matter, they perform equally as well.

7-Make cordless plugs(not counting the controller.

Kinda pointless but a good idea i suppose.

8-Get more workers so games come out faster.

Your reaserch and logic ?!?! the mind baffles

9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.

A common complaint but if Nintendo didn't make em' who would.

10-Most importantly a better controller.

No way the GC controller is my favorite of them all its without a doubt the best controler of the 3.

That's up to those who develop the games. It's not like they're not trying, after all.

3-Make a thing to get better graphics.

A thing? What kind of 'thing' are you talking about? I think the next console will take care of this. Wait ... it doesn't matter if the game sucks though, right?

5-Have more magazines and more sports games.The sports games are bad but6 im more of an adventure gamer.

Sports games? Aren't there enough as-is? Better yet, try playing the sport! That's one reason I don't like sports games. You can do it yourself.

6-make normal size cds.

Why? I think the mini-discs are stylish and cool. If they made them standard-sized, they'd just be the same as everyone else. I don't think that'll happen.

7-Make cordless plugs(not counting the controller.

Other than the controller? Hm, I know that an internet connection can easily be wireless, but what else? There's not really anything else to make wireless. If you were thinking about the power, that can't really be done. If you try to transmit power over the air, too much of it dissipates in every direction, and very little would be received. Not efficient at all.

8-Get more workers so games come out faster.

Get more workers? Okay I don't really know how to start on this one. Again, this is up to the companies that develop the games. Also, I'd rather have a few great games than a bunch of games that were choked out by masses of worker with the sole purpose of getting games out faster.

9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.

Why do you care about this? Do you play them? If not, then there's really no harm in them being made. They're usually just targeting a certain demographic segment.

10-Most importantly a better controller.

Yeah, I guess they can have a better controller...

they aint gonna change the cds.....there quite smart for doing that cause no no one can pirate their gamesbecause you cant get a hold of cds the same size as the Gamcubes ....not that you would want to pirate their games as they all suck.

Yea i know like zelda , metroid.

hypocrite

:P

Well not really zelda games are short now. Im not gonna start talking about everything else.

Magazines will make the console better how?! and the sport game thing well thats just opinion.

Well it would say alot of things and i like to read updates and stuff.
And the sports games are just not there.

Size dosn't matter, they perform equally as well.

No. Not really i like normal cds.

Kinda pointless but a good idea i suppose.

Yea it would save space and getting the wires tangeled its just annoying.

Your reaserch and logic ?!?! the mind baffles

No but i find it takes long for these games to come out.

A common complaint but if Nintendo didn't make em' who would.

They should make a special nintendo for that shit so it doesnt look bad.

No way the GC controller is my favorite of them all its without a doubt the best controler of the 3.

Well i guess, its better than the xbox one for sure. But the ps2 one with the air is the best of all time if they could make that then it would rock.

I don't know... Tiger Woods is by far the most addictive game I've played in years and believe it or not, it's impossible for me to drive a golf ball 500 yards. Especially considering the fact that I hate golf in real life and don't even own a set of clubs. The point, sports games can be a lot more fun on a console then they are in real life.

6-make normal size cds.

I doubt this will happen. I believe the reason for small CDs was to avoide piracy. That's the same reason they stuck with cartrages with the 64. Well, at least thats what I was told.

yay, bandwagon.

I agree.

Not really...

3-Make a thing to get better graphics.

You just said not to focus on graphics too much, and now you're saying to make them better?

4-Make longer games.

Nintendo has managed to make some GC games longer than the ones Xbox and Playstation have, even with the half-discs. That's impressive.

5-Have more magazines and more sports games. The sports games are bad but I'm more of an adventure gamer.

Make up your mind, please... and Nintendo has a magazine. It's Nintendo Power. I don't see why they need more.

6-make normal size cds.

You'll have to wait for the next Nintendo console. You can't make normal size cds for a gamecube unless you make a bigger console.

7-Make cordless plugs(not counting the controller.

Oh, you mean a cordless power cord? Physically impossible. Wireless AV jacks? Too much trouble for nothing.

Wireless controllers are good enough.

8-Get more workers so games come out faster.

Pfft.

9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.

Pfft.

10-Most importantly a better controller.

The GameCube controller is fine. Fits like a glove! And that's something you can't say about Xbox controllers. Theyr'e too big.

Most of them have been answered already, so... meh.

1-Make a thing to go online.

I believe there are already modem/broadband adapters available, as well as supportive games.

2-Think more about the games and not the graphics. All these games have amazing graphics but alot of the games suck.

I totally agree. Too many shitty developers are starting to hide crappy games behing some flashy graphics. Having said that, It's generally third party developers and not Nintendo themself.

8-Get more workers so games come out faster.

More workers means a larger payroll. Basically, you're likely to end up having to pay more for your games.

9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.

Why not? Nintendo obviously has an audience which such games will appeal to, otherwise they wouldn't be produced. What happened to just not buying the games that don't appeal to you? Why does everyone want everything they don't like to not even exist at all?

Gamecube was originally going to have grand theft auto 3 and vice city, but backed away when XBOX bought it...

Its true- nintendo needs more games like Perfect Dark, GTA, FF and such

although donkey konga is awesome lol

Yes but if they make more games and better ones. Thell make more $$$.

When I said more workers would need to be employed, I was refering to your point - that the games would be released quicker, not made better. For the games to be made better more time would be needed, or could be effectively canceled out by employing more workers again but this would result in greater costs once more, reducing the profit the better game would make over the average, on-time game.

You can't have an awesome game released quickly and for a low price. There is little profit that way - and the profit to be made would be likely to be not a significant amount more than to cancel out the money spent developing the better game and getting it released quickly, as opposed to a better game released very slowly. Besides, ther will be a larger profit that way because it'll allow time for anticipation to build up, meaning even if it's a sub-par game it'll bring in plenty of money for the developer from gamers caught up in the hype, meaning you may get better games released slightly quicker next time.

they alreaddy have that with mario cart dd and kirbys air ride

what do you mean "better graphics"

4-Make longer games.

i dont know, zelda was pretty long, so was mario sunshine

5-Have more magazines and more sports games.The sports games are bad but6 im more of an adventure gamer.

sports are more in the ps2 and xbox area, thats why nintendo dosent make them

6-make normal size cds.

why? those little thing kick some major ass!

7-Make cordless plugs(not counting the controller.

how do you make a cordless power cord? or tv cord? you cant send electricity through the air and a tv signal interpreter would be too bulky and expensive.

8-Get more workers so games come out faster.

i think the suspense is worth it

9-Dont make baby games. IE: pokemon channel.

they have to make something for the kids. have you noticed that xbox and ps2 dont have that many "baby games"? thats why nintendo makes them, to attract that entire audience

10-Most importantly a better controller.

i think its a very ergonomic controller, certainly better than the xbox controller, and still slightly better than the ps2 controller

halo 2 will probably be on pc as well, and san andreas will be out on probably those consoles

gc has similar if not identical loading times to the x-box.

Nintendo started these things most people think are just made brilliant by sony and msoft

. 3d gaming
.handheld gaming
.backwards compatibility
.platformers
.legend of zelda(arguably the first rpg)
link up functions

the only reason i will ever get a ps2 is for

final fantasy games

Who is GameCube a "Crapcube"? It's much newer then playstation 2. It's much more better to carry around then a 600 pound X-Box, or a bus long playstation 2. You can get any shitty console on ebay for a price like that. Nintendo will never die. See Rabid E's new topic for info on gamecube.
