Hey I didn't decide on the terms, I don't see how mario is kiddy at all. My only problem with E.A. sports is that they release practically the same game every year with better graphics and no other improvements. I would honestly like to see a football game not based on real life teams so they could do franchises that you could do for decades and centuries, just not the actual game but all of the behind the scenes stuff. .....They so need to make an aerobiz game for the Wii. |

Let's take a look at the top selling games for 2004, shall we?
A single game for an single Nintendo console, quite remarkable, considering the "pure excitement" that Nintendo francises create/ And when I say "easily make up" that doesn't mean "barely break even", Alan. Don't put words in my mouth. I understand the arguements you guys are making, because I've said almost the exact same thing at any given time. Yes, Nintendo made better profits of their console, yes, they could live off their handhelds, and yes, their classic franchises are popular, but...in the eyes of the majority of the gaming public, they lost the console war, it's just that simple. |

Only Halo and GTA outsell the Zeldas and the SSBM of the Gamecube. Truth is, the M rated market while highly advertised is the lowest selling market. |

Fairly sure that link up there debunks that theory, Alpha.

Overall not yearly. The only games to outsell SSBM this generation was Halo 1,2 and the GTA 3, Vice City and SA. |

And the Weather Man forecast shows that joke will result in cloudy skies and a 99.9% of Notty's doom. |

Well, when I actually stop being lazy and actually SEARCH for a source, you can't hardly expect me to just take a out-of-the-blue statement as pure fact, can you?

But would it really suprise you? I mean what other series would you expect to outsell the best selling gamecube game? |

Considering the MASSIVE difference of PS2s/X-Boxes sold compared to the Gamecubes sold... I'd say it's fairly easy to say that even if SSBM was the No.1 selling game on the GC, that it could be outpaced by other franchises, based on sheer number of game-to-console ratios... Unless you'd like to suggest that every GC owner bought 3 or 4 copies of SSBM per Gamecube?

Smash Bros is ranked in the top selling Francises all all times and it's only had two games so far. |

You guys are missing the point. I can point out sources and evidence to the contrary to my heart's content, but it just doesn't seem like I'm getting through. *sigh* Whatever, I don't care anymore. |

(Q)_< Ah but can you judge on how many were sold? Some people just look at the who made it these days not the actual game. ( i.e. I neglected to notice Metal Gear ACID was a dam card game, stupid me) |

No, we get the point, we just disagree with it and/or don't think it's as important as you do. |

Topic change! Being based on history, um, the stages of the game will also be based on famous battles, which took actually took place in ancient Japan. So here's this giant enemy crab... |

I knew my teacher was a liar when he told me there were no giant crabs that fought wars. Also I demand everyone to play Geometry Wars. |
