LOL, that reminds me of a video I once saw: there was this guy making fun of hack video game reviewers, and at one point he said, "Legacy of Kain? More like Legacy of PAIN...in the ass...cause this game sucks!"
That and, "Resident Evil 4 is so chock full of boring moments it should have been called "Resident Evil...Stupid".

If Sega won the 16bit war, that just makes what happened next even more hilarious,
I'd see the 80's as the golden age. Arcade machines ftw.

Gamecube was just a roided up 64, so they saved their effort for the Wii.
The bubble burst back then, but Nintendo were smart enough not to blow their load on new gear while the SNES was still sufficent. Remember how under the radar their 3d unit was?
Granted, too under the radar, but still....

Pokemon? Maybe it's just my area, but I only ever knew one person who owned that guy.
SNES was more powerful than the Megadrive, and ultimately sold more. SNES won.
Sega then threw out the Saturn, Dreamcast and 32X, none of which people cared about.
Nintendo are smart. Rather than get into the Sony/Microsoft pissing contest, they remembered that games need to be enjoyable.
Take these latest machines. Great, the PS3 can connect to the internet, play Blu-ray, has 1.8 TFLOPS floating point performance and can fry an egg in 2 minutes. Fantastic, but I'm still shelling out $1300 dollars for games I'll play once then hock at GameTraders. I'm playing for fun, not to watch a 7 minute video then get blown away by a tank like my friend does with Turok. Sticking with my SNES and Atari 2600 for now.

Game wise I meant.
It's really still in production? Do those sales go to Sega or Nintendo?

Were the fuck do you buy your games dust?
$1300 is more then I've ever spent on a console. I think your getting ripped off.

Went back over the posts here, and I'm not sure where you get some of your information.
"Game boy was only successful because of Pokemon."
I seem to recall a little game called Tetris outselling everything back in the day.

Again, maybe it was different over there, but no. It wasn't packaged with the machine here.
Sales as in people actually bought it. Because you wouldn't call Alex Kidd the highest selling Master System game, would you?

Post by canedust on Sept 27, 2008 17:18:15 GMT -5
So Alex Kidd didn't come built into the machine where you are?
Where are you from, anyway?
We clearly have little business comparing notes on the 90's machine wars, since we lived in two different scenes.
I'll give props to Mega Drive for having a game the caliber of X-Men, and leave it at that.

Nintendo - still financial and active.
Sega - Went bankrupt.
War of atrition, maybe. They still lost.

I'm not talking about the 16-bit war, I mean the overall war.
Let's see.
Sonic's reduced to appearing in Mario games, Sega haven't released anything in a decade, and another company owns their trademarks.
Fair to say, the Sega you loved is quite dead.

I remember the Dreamcast coming in 98, which qualifies as a decade.
Maybe I didn't look at enough Sega boxes back in the day, but I dont recall CSK being listed as the licensor, Sega itself was the holder.
3rd developer. So they slipped from Nintendo level to Konami level.
This was all quite some time ago, so I may be wrong, but I'll call how I see it.

Indeed the former owners did sell off most of the company.
CSK bailed out in 2003, after putting Sega up for sale once before. Hell, even Atari's a part-owner of Sega these days.
They sold off some of their developing teams, and made the decision to focus on their arcade machines, not home console software. Arcade machines, which they need Nintendo and Namco to come aboard with.
But I'm sure you have a rational response to that, other than getting huffy and saying nobody but you knows about games.

You're laughing at resorting to wiki? Whatever makes you happy.
Sega vs Nintendo is like WCW vs WWF.
Sega won the 16-bit war = Nitro beat Raw 83 weeks in a row.
Mega Drive's main selling point of arcade ports = WCW hiring every star not nailed down, and some who were.
Sega's only in-house hit being the fast and repetitive Sonic = WCW's only home-grown star being the fast and repetitive Goldberg.
Sega not doing anything of note since 2001 = WCW not doing anything of note since 2001.
That comparision wrote itself.
Just for kicks, I declare the Neo-Geo to be the ECW of the 90's game wars.
Also, WWE, lazily aiming for the kids market = WII, lazily aiming for the kids market.

Always prefered the Sega Megadrive.
SNES was over rated in my opinion.

BBSY you win i looked at my sega games the other day and they say on the back to be used with the sega genesis. Although it still was called a megadrive here. Wasn't it that they wanted to call it MegaDrive everywhere but forgot to put out the copyright in the USA, and so another compiter was called a MegaDrive over there so they had to use Genesis? That's what I read. "Mega Drive was the name used in Japan and Europe, while it was sold under the name Sega Genesis in North America, as Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in that region." From Wiki, but they probably got it from some other source. |

And Jess refused to believe it was called the Genesis... so you are an ass just like Americans and think you can rule the world.
Wasn't it mutually agreed Brit's know nothing anyways? ;D
