Dumb thing Nintendo did. - VGF

I've known a few dumb things. What about you?

Curly Brace · 12-04-2005, 06:27 PM

Mario is Missing.

Smithy GCN · 12-04-2005, 09:03 PM

I believe Mindscape (creators of the abomination: Alfred Chicken) created that one. But, still, Nintendo's fault for allowing them to do it.

Dropping Silicon Knights.

And remember, "This can't be happening...."

RMC · 12-04-2005, 09:45 PM

Screwing up there deal with Sony.

Making N64 cartridge-based (and insisting they were the better way to go)

Chunky Kong12345 · 12-04-2005, 10:26 PM

CD-I.

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-04-2005, 10:52 PM

The Super Scope.

I liked Mario's Missing.

The super-scope was awesome. Just not as cool as the gun.

If I am correct, this was a result of Nintendo insisting to use carts for N64

Smithy GCN · 12-05-2005, 03:26 PM

So, if that's the case, then why is Square still raising a big fuss about helping Nintendo on their Gamecube console? I mean, they had no problem releasing FFTA on the GBA and that used carts.

Codiekitty · 12-05-2005, 03:30 PM

Jay told me he heard that if FF7 were to have been on the N64, it would have required about 13 cartridges.

Anyways, the concept behind the Revolution. When I saw that controller, I felt like I was being given the finger after years of supporting Nintendo.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Considering the technology at the time, cartridges were indeed the better way to go.

Besides, everyone got their Playstations (originally intended to be Nintendo's CD game system / CD add-on).

Oh, screw it.

No, present day, I mean.
Square continues to despise Nintendo regardless of whether they use CDs now or not.
