Yeah. What you say makes perfect sense. Its the 3rd party developers fault that Nintendo is looked down upon. Especially those traitors, Square, Enix, Capcom, and others.

Well, the DS will obviously end up with some gems.

Wario Ware Touched for example.

Yes, but while the other consoles have grasped the art of having the Save Data limit BE the limit of the card, Nintendo cards still give you the 3-5 file limit one a single block without the ability to use another block for more files.

That sounds like personal preference. And the limit is the limit on the card in Viewtiful Joe, and Sonic Adventure DX, and that's off the top of my head!

Whereas the limit on any PSX, PS2, or Xbox game is either the card's limit, or in the rare case that the game has a limit, somewhere in the area of 50-100. Ludicrously high where you'd never reach it anyway.

Rather than Nintendo's love of 3-5.

Do you REALLY need all those extra files? I mean, seriously.

Let's see... the only games that I remember small limits on are Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine, and Wind Waker. OH! And SSB:M has only one save file... as does Mario Kasrt Double Dash... and Mario Party 6 has three files, but I will never understand why you need more than one for that game.

You don't need that many. But it's nice being able to have friends play who don't have a GCN of their own, without having to save over YOUR file to do so.

There's a no-save feature in most games...

...you've never had friends play your games, have you? See, most people don't stay the full time it takes to finish it. They go home and come back later.

See, I never have a problem with them playing my files without saving them.

Also, there's more than ONE file.

To make my point, there are nine Final Fantasy X files on my PS2 memory card. I have a lot of friends.

See, usually, when I have friends playing my games, they want to try them out, or play multiplayer...

I have friends who enjoy a plot as much as I do and don't have GameCubes, Xboxes, and/or PS2's of their own because they're too cheap to buy them.

Yes, well... I enjoy watching other people play, but usually just my brother, and we usually just shoot the shit. Most people prefer to do group activities when around other people. Playing Final Fantasy is not a group activity.

You use "group" as though you thought I always had my friends over simultaneously. Usually just 1. 2 on a special occasion.

I've only ever used one save in Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine . . . 3-5 saves are easily enough. And I don't know where you got the idea that the PS2 is better than the 'Cube . . . Just take a look at Rogue Squadron III, or the new Zelda. It might be a little better than the PS2 graphically. Maybe.

So....what do you get when you mix Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Disgaea?

Well, for one, a bunch of pissed off FF/FE/Disgaea fanboys/girls, but that's neither here nor there. - Notty, Games and Stuff.

Just look at Pikmin. Nuff said.

The PS2 and Xbox cater to more mature audiences with more mature games, while the GCN remains strictly E-rated, with a couple token mature games like RE4. There is nothing wrong with E games, some can be quite fun. But sometimes, a gal likes seeing something more realistic and less cartoony.
