Nintendo peaked at Gamecube
prove me wrong
>>339662205
After it was the Wii, so I guess you're right
>>339662205
I'd say they peaked at SNES.
>>339662667
This
N64 was slightly worse than SNES
GC was slightly worse than N64
Wii was shit
>>339662927
I'd say all consoles before the Wii felt like they gave a shit about people who play video games
>>339662927
>GC was slightly worse than N64
Aside from Mario sunshine and double dash the Gamecube was far better than the N64
It's been a downward spiral since the NES.
Inb4 millennials that can't appreciate Nintendo's golden age because the games are too hardcore.
I didn't realize it at the time, but the GC/GBA era was a really great era for Nintendo. Lots of innovation, as opposed to the NSMB cookie cutter stuff we get today
>>339663043
I liked Double Dash more than 64
>>339662205
the gamecube was a piece of shit.
its entire library consisted of titles that were better on the N64.
>>339662667
this
virtualboy was the begin of the end
N64 was shit
GC was shit
Wii is just GC 1.5 and shit
Wii U is.... do I really REALLY need to go into this one?
All of you morons calling the Wii shit.

Niggers get fucked. Wii had some fantastic games, much more so than N64 and definitely much more than Gamecube.
>>339662205
they peaked at N64
N64 zeldas > cube zeldas
N64 startfox > cube starfox
mario 64 > sunshine
melees was better than smash 64 tho
>>339662205
>all these people ignoring handhelds
Nintendo peaked at DS. Solid system with loads of great games that offered something completely new. Great 3rd party support.
If you want to ignore handhelds their peak was the NES.
>>339663271
>>>Super Mario Galaxy
>>Super Mario Galaxy 2
>aka carpel tunnel the game
I'll take Sunshine and 64 any day of the week.
>>339663159
64 didn't have a metroid game so its shit
>>339662205
I've owned every console from Nintendo my whole life. And while each one has provided some stellar games, its going to take a hell of a lot for me to invest in their next offering. The wiiu had so much potential with its abundance of peripherals, but absolutely everything was so completely and utterly under utilized.
I still believe that the motion controls and touch screen has so much potential to do really cool shit, but its implementation has been bungled over and over.
And yea, I think the Gamecube was the last console of Nintendo that I sunk a lot of time into. Then again, I owned a 360 and a ps3 briefly that barely got any play time so take that as you will
>>339663393
>Super Mario Galaxy
>carpel tunnel the game
What? You don't even move your wrists! It's all your fingers or your arms.
>>339663393
I always have found the Galaxy's to be a step-down in terms of mechanics
Probably because of the wii-mote entirely
>>339663317
>mario 64 over sunshine
of all the wrongs you could have been
you chose wrong as fuck faggot
>>339663058
NES was great.
SNES was better.
N64 was worse than SNES but had 4/5 God-tier games
GC was worse in terms of God-tier games
Wii had the Mario Galaxy God-tier games and could play all Gamecube games + virtual console/Wiiware
Wii gets shit on a lot, but it's still under my TV with the PS4 and gets consistent use even now (mostly due to my Super Mario Kart addiction)
I haven't even bought a Wii U though.
>>339663043
I would have to write a roman to explain this, but basically Id say the Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart etc. games where more groundbreaking when they were released on N64.
Sure, they were more polished on GC but it missed out on the innovation.
On the other hand, games like Smash Melee got a huge benefit from the finetuning so I guess it depends on the game series
I'll never understand the hate for the Wii, given that it's got a stronger library than the N64 and Gamecube.
Like shit, Galaxy may not be as good as 64, but at least there's more than a dozen other games for the entire goddamn system.
>>339663159
F-Zero GX was incredible
As was Resident Evil 4
Only 2 God-tier games on GC I would say, unless Im forgetting some.
The WiiU is fine.
they peaked with the snes. but the gamecube was the last console where nintendo actually tried to make it good
>>339663271
>>339663636
Just a wild thought, but are you 18 or younger ?
>>339663271
Super Mario Galaxy was boring as shit. It gets rid of the adventure aspect that existed in 64 and Sunshine then replaces it with a jump from planet-to-planet mechanic filled with unmemorable platforming.
>>339663393
>carpel tunnel
that wasn't SMG. You were just masturbating too much because you were a disgusting teenager in the late 00s.
>>339663636
/v/ hates the wii because it had lots of shovelwareps2 gets a pass because /v/ was too young to remember I guess, it ended with a whimper, and /v/ didn't like skyward sword.

>stronger library than the N64 and Gamecube

>>339663769
Gamecube CPU from 2001.
Nintendo overclocks it with 243mhx and calls it good enough for "nextgen" Wii.
Nintendo takes 3 Wii CPU and glue them together and calls it good enough for "nextgen" Wii U.
Nintendo has been a trash company ever since the Gamecube.
0 innovation, just recycling.
>>339663509
Same boat as you, my friend. I got stung by the shitty Zelda after shitty Zelda syndrome.
>>339663850
which Mario games have memorable platforming?

>Fuck-ton of Resident Evil, if you're into rail-shooters.
>Donkey Kong Jungle Returns.
snes > n64 > gamecube > wii u > wii
i didnt add nes because i havent played enough games for it
>>339663916
PS2 gets a pass because it got just as many good games as bad, and it got more good games than Wii has total games
>>339663560
Sunshine is probably the worst Mario game after Mario Bros. 2.
SM64 was so much better, you'd wonder how Nintendo could fuck Sunshine up so badly. INvisible fucking walls. Damn.
>>339663979
Not him, but 3D World in my humble opinion
>>339664071
what games did the snes have?
>>339663850
What makes a person this contrarian?
>>339664130
>Sunshine
>Bad
how?
>>339663808
>Le kiddies like da wii maymay XDDD
Fuck off, newfag. Try judging a console on its library instead of its marketing.
>>339663935
The N64 doesn't even have 100 games worthy of being called mediocre. It has an extremely limited library with only a handful of truly excellent titles. I love it too, but it has a much weaker library than the Wii.
>>339663916
And apparently NES, SNES, and Playstation get a pass for the same reason.
>>339664072
>It got just as many good games as bad
Go back to school, Jimmy, you forgot the endless waves of pure, unfiltered dogshit on the system.
>last Nintendo was Wii/DS on release, whichever came first
>Only handhelds are Gameboy and DS
Still love the GC for Metroid, Smash Bros, Custom Robo, Bloody Roar and Pikmin.
Just how much have I missed out on? I see lots of fun games for the 3DS and Vita but never actually feel like getting a new handheld.
>>339663929
Hey, if we gave the N64 a pass back in the 90's for only having a dozen games, surely we can do the same now, right?Oh, wait, we aren't nostalgic for them so it doesn't count. :^)
>>339663636
>Like shit, Galaxy may not be as good as 64
Galaxy is far better, anon.
Go back and play SM64 on a N64, then play Super Mario Galaxy.
SM64 was and largely still is fantastic, but SMG trumps it on visuals, gameplay, mechanics and variety of levels.
>>339664210
/v/ is retarded and thinks that Sunshine isn't rehash enough to be fun
>>339663271
>definitely much more than Gamecube.
>He never played GameCube
I'm not mad you're retarded, I honestly just feel bad for you.
>>339664312
It's best to start with the Vita, then try out the 3ds afterwards.
You will realise most of the /v/ hype doesn't live up to its name.
Here are my picks for classics on each system, and when I say classics, I mean games that any dudebro will be able to talk to you about:
SNES- Super Mario World, LTTP, Donkey Kong Country
N64- Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Mario 64
Gamecube- Smash Melee, Metroid Prime
Wii-???
Wiiu- Mario Kart 8 maybe?
It's hard to describe when they "peaked" because they had multiple peaks. The NES was utterly dominant and revolutionary, the SNES was extremely good, the N64 was largely shit, the GC was a bit better but still didn't have enough games and the Wii had tons of 90s-style nip exclusives (2D platformers, arcade ports, RPGs, unique weird games etc) thanks to the fact that it was hot shit with normies. So the last time they peaked was with the Wii, and I doubt they'll ever have that much success again. Enjoy your shitty not-quite-a-PC "hardcore" shitboxes made by cynical non-game companies, you hated stuff like the Wii after all.
>>339662205
Gamecube > wii > n64 > snes
>>339663808
>>339663808
>Just a wild thought, but are you 18 or younger ?
No, I can't speak for the other anon but I'm 32 and have owned every Nintendo system since the NES except the GameBoy Colour, 3DS and Wii U.
So you can fuck off with your " oh he only likes the Wii because he's underaged b&" shit.
>>339664573
golden eye was terrible
but it had the weakest mario/zelda games of any nintendo console until the 7th and 8th gens
>>339664072
>it got just as many good games as bad
I want to see an enumeration of 2000 good games on the PS2, since PS2 had ~4000 releases.
>>339664537
Any suggestions for vidja on the Vita that are worth a look?
>>339663850
>Super Mario Galaxy was boring as shit.
HAHA oh FUCK
I just want to be able to buy a gameboy and play zero mission and fusion.
I never got to play a metroid game :(
>>339664685
Off topic.
>>339664618
>wii over snes
Almost had it
>>339663979
Sunshine had memorable platforming. I can even remember the little filler missions like bathing the chain chomps in Pianta Village and the watermelon mountain mission in the Beach level.
Galaxy all I can remember is the reccuring missions that exist in each world, such as that shitty Boo Race.
>>339664685
there aren't any good games on the vita
>>339664741
Emulate and use a USB controller, dummy.
>>339664581
Most of /v/'s userbase is pleb-level shitters who only play popular games. They don't understand the value of a large quantity of unique, diverse games or how that was part of what made NES and SNES so special.
>>339663007
That's because they did. The NES practically invented the console gaming industry as it is today and all their succeeding platforms until the GC basically continued the conventions they set forth. Unfortunately they started gradually losing ground to the competitors (Sega, PlayStation and Xbox) until they just gave up and started pandering to casuals with the Wii.
>>339664674
We already know 2% of it is shit, because there's about 80 Singstar, DDR, and Beatmani games on the system.
>>339664581
>>339664823

>>339664626
Thanks for info, no need to be upset though
I owned every Nintendo console aswell and I enjoyed like 4 or 5 games which makes it a bad console in my opinion, thats why I asked
>>339664532
Fuck off, idiot. I had and still have a Gamecube.
It has Resident Evil 4 and F-Zero GX, and that's pretty much it.
Sunshine was wank.
Mario kart was wank.
Wind Waker and TP were pretty much wank.
REmake was good as was MGS Twin Snakes but I preferred the Playstation original.
You can fuck off. Wii has a greater number of God tier games than th Gamecube, and your opinion isn't worth shit to me.

Nintendo peaked with the DS
>>339665069
>it was the first shooter that I ever played so you cant say anything bad about it
every shooter on the 64 was terrible because the n64 never had a controller that could properly support the genre
>>339662927
Yup, I'd agree with this. GC was a little better than the n64 tho
>>339665289
No, you just didn't have friends growing up, so you don't understand why it deserves it's spot with Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.
>>339665289
That would imply Doom 64 is a bad shooter, which is factually incorrect.

Japan didn't like the N64 and Gamecube. That's when Nintendo died to me.
>>339665902
Amazingly overrated.
>>339665608
the game was built around the limitations of said controller and any fps without aiming is shit
>>339662205
Depends on who you ask.
Developers would argue that the SNES was the last good console, since third-party support has been FAR from Nintendo's strong suit since the N64.

Bribery is a Nintendo forte.
Sony just offered fair market conditions for the 3rd parties. Nothing underhanded.
That's why to this day you see 3rd party do as they wish, porting exclusives away as they wish.
SNES>GCN>N64=Wii>WiiU
I honestly don't know where to put NES.
>>339666159
Pic related.
>>339666159
Nintendo ran shit like fucking assholes during the NES and SNES days. Companies willingly fled their iron grip as soon as a competitor arose with actual superior hardware and a solid seat in the Japanese marketplace.
Nintendo hasn't really done enough to extend the olive branch, and most devs and pubs just shit on them when they do since Sony and MS suck their dicks way harder for smaller favors (Nintendo will advertise for you if you promise exclusivity, but Sony will pay you millions for a timed exclusive).
>>339666314

>>339666159
Sega gave third parties a taste of freedom with the Genesis hitting market first and a successful marketing campaign. Once Sega rolled over EA and Friends looked to Sony and later Microsoft to continue to produce videogames freely.
And basically Nintendo is still ran according to blueprints in the fucking fossil of its past.
>>339662205
Oh look another gamecube babby circlejerk.
Also, no. Not when the SNES exists.
>>339666159
Nah. Disks were way cheaper and had a way higher profit margin, and the N64 was much harder to program for than the PS1, so 3rd parties fled to the PS1.
Not to mention all the N64 had for a long time was SM64.
>>339666816
seriously what was so great about the snes?
>>339665263
Gen 7 was good for Nintendo fans in general.

FE: Awakening
FE: Fates/Conq/etc.
Legend of Zelda: ALBW
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Bravely Default
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Monster Hunter 4
Pokemon XY
Project Mirai
Rune Factory 4
It has a lot of good games. It also has the capability to run DS games and has the virtual console.
>inb4 no those aren't good
>>339666895
>FE: Awakening
If you consider that pile of turd good, then the rest of your list must be garbage too.
>>339666895
Most of those are inferior sequels to really good games/franchises. There's no way the 3DS is better than the DS, it's a product of neo-Nintendo.
>>339663271
I recently got my hands on a wii and have been jailbreaking it and fucking around, and it is an underachieving, obnoxious piece of shit.
As if the waggle controls weren't annoying enough, there are constantly menus where they INSIST on you using them to navigate. Want to press B to go back? Too bad, point this fucking thing at the corner of the screen and click 'A' on the "back" button.
That and the array of controllers that work for it is puzzling - especially given the whole forcing the waggleshit on you ordeal. Can't even use a Gamecube controller from the main menu.
And the classic controllers plug into the waggleshit controllers? Why?
I even got a copy of mario party8 and the shit only broadcasts in 4:3. What a fucking joke.
>>339662205
Nope, it had a piss poor library and most of the first party stuff was mediocre aside from Pikmin, Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX.
>>339667190
>There's no way the 3DS is better than the DS
I never stated that.
>>339667190
kid Icarus and conquest are both great games

>>339667280
>>339663251
N64 was shit? How do you figure, edgelord? I had a gamecube and although it didn't have the library that 64 and SNES had, Ive still got loads of great memories playing it. THPS3, Time Splitters, RE 1 and 4, Metroid Prime..
>>339667442
SF64 is a rail shooter
>>339666880
Most of its best games aged really well, and nearly all of Nintendo's franchises had incredibly strong showings.
Mario:
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart (might be dated to some, but whatever)
Super Mario RPG
Donkey Kong:
DKC Trilogy
Zelda:
A Link To The Past
Metroid:
Super Metroid
Yoshi:
Yoshi's Island
Kirby:
Super Star
Dream Land 3
Mother:
Mother 2/EarthBound
Fire Emblem:
Seisen no Keifu
Thracia 776
Amazing third-party offerings as well (FFVI, Chrono Trigger, the MMX games, Lufia II) to just name a few. Also, all of these titles have aged extremely well in game play, graphics, and sound.

Wind Waker was great aside from the low dungeon count. Same with TP (which suffered from the inverse problems as WW, the dungeons were the pinnacle of the series, but everything else was kind of bleh).
Metroid Prime 2 and Paper Mario 2 were also both great, as well as Pikmin 2. FE9 rivals FE7 as the best international FE.

Like clockwork. Come back when you have real arguments.
>>339667906
The Wii and DS are what made Nintendo relevant again. The 3DS and Wii U followed in the footsteps of the Gamecube and turned Nintendo into a joke again.
The only people who hate the Wii are people who can't accept that a video game console decided to appeal to more people than just them. Hating the Wii is hate born from selfishness.
>>339662205
Absolutely. I still use mine to play stuff like Kirby air ride ormelee
>>339667736
Objectively correct.
>>339663043
>Gamecube was far better than the N64
I managed to get all the games that interested me for both consoles when they were current, and looking at it in retrospect this isn't even a debate. The N64 destroys the GC.
>>339668142
>said the fag with no argument of his own
>>339667970
A Link To The Past was still very exploration rich. There were many optional tools to find in the game. All Zeldas are great aside from Skyward Sword, the two DS Zeldas, Four Swords (the GBA one), and Zelda II.
>>339664182
It's past your bedtime.
>>339667736
No. As someone who actually experienced every console there when they were the current gen, it's more
SNES > WiiU = GCN > NES > N64 = Wii > shit
>>339668091
not everyone can stomach shitty shooters that removed the most important mechanic in the genre
>>339668323
>All Zeldas are great aside from Skyward Sword, the two DS Zeldas, Four Swords (the GBA one), and Zelda II.
I was with you until you said Zelda II. Zelda II is awesome, you casual.
>>339662205
I liked Gamecube and Wii, but never really bought any Nintendo games besides Custom Robo and Metroid. I've always liked Nintendo consoles for their 3rd party stuff, and Gamecube and Wii did great with those.
>>339668293
You asked the guy to name 10 good games. He did. Then you said "nuh uh". YOU have to make an argument that his list was bad.
>>339668256
That GC collection is very weak though
>>339668359
As someone who actually experienced every console there when they were the current gen, I stand by my original statement.
NES > SNES > Wii > shit > N64 > Gamecube > Wii U
>>339668091
They just have shit taste and are memers who watched too much youtube celebrities. Turok 2, Doom 64, Rogue Squadron, SF64 are enough to put the console into the god tier category.

But you're missing a lot of great gamecube games.
>>339668397
To each their own. I have no problem with "hard" installments to particular franchises (I love F-Zero GX and Thracia 776), and Lost Levels was also amusing. However, I think Zelda II had significant issues ignoring the difficulty, that is compounded by how dated the game is.
>>339668323
You should actually try out Skyward Sword. It's actually a lot of fun.

GameCube didn't even sell that well. Nothing sold well compared to the PS2. PS2 was great. Hated the sliding sound of the triggers on the GameCube controller and the generally weird design. PS2 more or less figured it out. Original Xbox and GameCube were still fucking around with bad design.

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance is perhaps the best international Fire Emblem title, but ridiculously expensive to get a copy now ($100+). There is also Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door like you said (its considered to be the best Mario RPG).
If you don't own it, you should also get Twilight Princess. The GameCube version is superior to the Wii version, but it isn't worth the massive price jump that version has over the Wii version.
Aside from that I would reccomend the Pikmin game which are amazing real time strategy games.
Luigi's Mansion is also good if you can find it for a decent price (around $30).
The original Animal Crossing also has a certain charm not found in the subsequent installments, and has 19 NES games that can be acquired within it.
>>339663957
>that pic

That's some AAA rank cherrypicking.
>>339662205
I cant. It's true.
>>339668571
To be honest, I couldn't get into Skyward Sword. I've had it since the day it was released and still haven't beaten it just because I haven't felt the urge to.
>>339668730
Well the GC version of RE4 is the best one so... that's sort of tragic. PM2 is a must, yes. The GC version of TP is the original and I would recommend it over the Wii version. You're missing Ikaruga (it is different from the Steam version, though whether it's worth hunting down is up to you), Crazy Taxi (slightly worse or on par with the DC version) Monkey Ball 1/2, Star Fox (the actual one), Pikmin 1/2, Puyo Pop Fever (if you're into arcade puzzle games) and finally Billy Hatcher, though that's more if you're a big fan of obscure SEGA stuff before they became Yakuza 24/7.

At least go back to the Wii's design philosophy. Granted that the Wii only sold because it was cheap as fuck, it at least worked.

Fuck off fagotron, SF64 has the best pace and controls in any rail shooter ever made, it's probably one of the most replayable games ever made and beats easily games like Panzer Dragoon.
It was their last console that wasn't full of wagglan or a giant DS, so that's good.

There isn't a better Nintendo console out there. Platformers did take a hit, I'd say, but you aren't seeing anything like Pikmin or Luigi's Mansion on an SNES.

The Blue Marine and Landmaster suck dick and all-range mode has always been awkward as fuck. I've never liked the voice acting either, the Lylat voices from the PAL version should have been an option in all versions.
Star Fox is the best Star Fox game. It's a much more focused and concise experience.

The fuck is wrong with you, it was the best the series ever got
the best gamecube nintendo game was made by sega
Alright faggots, let me educate you
>1. SUPER NINTENDO
While every single other Nintendo console is trying to do something new, this console was instead trying to take something that had already been done and make it better. As a result what we got was the pinnacle of the sprite era. Gameplay, graphics, music, storytelling, atmosphere, everything was at its peak and the 3D era has yet to come close.
>2. NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
Don't mind me, just single handedly saving the entire video game industry from being wiped out of existance. With the NES, Nintendo challenged the notion that consoles are simply home editions of arcade game-players. Games can be longer and more intuitive. You see, at the end of the day, the graphics will age, the classics still play better than 90% of what gets released today.
>3. GAMECUBE
Easily the most underrated system in Nintendy's lineup. A lot of the greats we take for granted actually started on the cube. It's a shame it didn't harbour a larger multiplat library considering it vastly outperformed the PS2 in that department and at times even the Xbox.
>4. NINTENDO 64
Sales numbers aside, this console has a chest of gems, make no mistake, arguably more than the far more popular Playstation. However, while the transition to 3D was money for some franchises, it was rougher on others. For every Ocarina of Time, we have a Superman 64.
>5. WII
Let's face the facts, this was a step down. While the GameCube had a poor multiplat library and great multiplat performance, the Wii has a poor library AND performance. That being said, when the gimmick was properly used, it worked, and the E shop certainly extended the longevity.
>6. WII U
While it has more games than it gets credit for, it has yet to make a splash, and I don't mean in sales. The fact that we have to use NSMBU on pics to justify a purchase proves this console is lacking. As it's the first console that Nintendo has officially abandoned, it's position as last is secure here.
>>339673489
Spot on
>>339673489
I actually think gba was the pinacle of the sprite era. Though most people just remember the shovelware (But the snes had this in spades too)
It just needed a proper Mario game, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten that abortion NSMBW years later.
>>339673442
Sega made some of their best games in the 6th gen. All the great shit on the Dreamcast aside, they made significant contributions to Xbox and Gamecube libraries.
>>339673489
Brilliant.
>>339673849
>>339676840
stop sucking cock
>>339673489
>let me educate you
fuck off
>Don't mind me, just single handedly saving the entire video game industry from being wiped out of existance
Except the PC gaming industry wasn't going out of "existance", it just revived consoles.
>A lot of the greats we take for granted actually started on the cube
Like what?
>arguably more than the far more popular Playstation
Not really.
>Let's face the facts, this was a step down
100 million+ disagree
>the Wii has a poor library AND performance
Bigger library than the GC, backwards compatibility with the GC and greater performance than the GC. If you liked the GC you have no reason not to like the Wii, unless you're an idiot.
>As it's the first console that Nintendo has officially abandoned
What is the Virtual Boy? Go educate yourself.
>>339677440
Fuck off.
>>339677440
80's PC was only relevant in Europe, Hans. And it was a hotbed of piracy. Its games faded away to be forgotten, and its legacy is almost nonexistent.
>>339677582
>80's PC was only relevant in Europe, Hans
Because people in NA/JP didn't own computers? Video games would have continued one way or another, aside from PC arcades were still going strong. Therefore it's inaccurate to say "saving the entire video game industry" when it, at most, saved consoles at that time.
>>339677949
Yep. People in NA/JP didn't own computers in the 80's, or even the 90's really. You are correct.
And arcade games also lost steam during the crash.
>>339678523
>Yep. People in NA/JP didn't own computers in the 80's, or even the 90's really
Not sure if b8 or just very, very stupid.
>And arcade games also lost steam during the crash
Which is why the NES had so many arcade ports right? Those things totally weren't making any money or coming out with new games throughout the 80s that ate peoples coins regardless of what they had at home. Not at all. Right?
>>339663072
This. I'd say they peaked at GBA since the SNES was the last great home console. All they're good to me nowadays is decent handheld hardware with a few good ports/exclusives, at least since they killed Metroid
Is it bad I already feel nostalgia for the sixth gen? It began about 16 years ago but I still remember it clear as day. Looking back a lot of terrible shit for gaming started then but the games were phenomenal.
>>339671541
Have a friend who's stationed up in Chicago comes by to visit for time off, asks him what he wants to play he ignores the PS3,Wii collections and hits my GC set and pulls out Airride and that's why he and I are still friends.

The N64 games are good, but aside from most of the Rare games almost none of them aged well. Pretty much every idea introduced in the other N64 games was expanded upon and improved in later releases. Only reason to play those games now is nostalgia.
By contrast, the GC library is much, much more varied and has way more interesting games. The games have aged EXCEPTIONALLY well. No one has made anything like F-Zero, Melee, Kirby Air Ride, Eternal Darkness, etc ever since their release. If you want to play games like those, you need to play those exact games.
GC is best ninny era, nostalgiafags BTFO
Wii has the highest sales
and /v/ philosophy is that nothing matters more than hardware sales
>>339678991
>Not sure if b8
Hans please don't assume that home computers were common in America in the 80's. They weren't until the mid 2000's. Before then, most people if the needed computers went to libraries or used their work computers. Why do you think browser games were huge in the early 2000's?
>Which is why the NES had so many arcade ports right?
>NES
Since when is the NES during the video game crash?
>>339663058
Nintendo peaked when Fusajiro Yamauchi was in his dad's ball sac
>>339662205
I can't.
You're right.
...Well, they didn't necessarily peak, per se, but it was the last generation in which they were still good and catered to those who actually enjoyed games.
>>339679419
It was the first gen with four great consoles. All manufacturers made some of their best consoles, best in case of Microsoft and Sony and debatably in case of Nintendo and Sega.
>>339679419
Everything was so great that for the next decade, the industry did nothing but make shitty copies of games from that era and that's why everything sucks
>>339679509
This. The GC had actual RPG games in addition to 3D platformers. And you could play OoT and MM on the GC, giving you the top games of the system.
>>339662205
Absolutely true
>>339679509
My 64 Rom folder contains like 2 games because Project64 is still complete shit.
>>339679509
This.
If most of those GC games were released today /v/ would love them.
If most of those 64 games came out today /v/ would call them generic indie shit for having low poly graphics.
>>339679694
>Hans please don't assume that home computers were common in America in the 80's
I had one in the 80s/90s and knew several people who did as well. Yes, in North America. My school was full of them to the point where teachers would bring in video games to play on them. They were far from uncommon in the 90s and always separate from the console market which tended to have exclusive software. Meaning gaming would've continued one way or another especially considering the PC market developed just fine in parallel with arcades and consoles.
>Since when is the NES during the video game crash?
Reading comprehension helps. Arcades survived the crash just fine to the point where big hits from the time of the crash were ported over.
>>339673489
>A lot of the greats we take for granted actually started on the cube.
Such as?
Nintendo never fully adapted to the 7th gen. Terrible online infrastructure, bad UIs, friend codes (still on 3DS, how?) long load times, little multimedia use, poor online shop, VC is criminally underutilized, overpriced HD remasters, little social features. I mean they don't even have party chat. Also >graphics
It's not just the games, its the overall archaic experience.
>>339663058
Nintendo peaked when they ran Love Hotels.
>>339663636
I agree, The WII was a very possible console in that it survived even though it required motion controls.
>>339663271
>Skyward Sword
>>339663636
I think it's funny that the only console that FPS could be properly played on never really got any FPS.
>>339663271
Bro.
All 3D Marios are shit, there's no denying it
Twilight Princess belongs on the Gamecube and Skyward Sword belongs in the trash
Brawl was garbage
Who the fuck gives a shit about Xenoblade
Also, Rayman, really?
The only good game on the Wii was Wii Sports
