Didn't Nintendo pledge 'long-term support' to the N64 some 6 months before it eventually fell on its arse?

Hmmm, hope that this doesn't turn into not being able to support 4 systems very well and they all do poorly. Also some more short-term support would be nice.
Having said that N generally seem to go cold about 18 months before the release of their next console, and with Zelda mid-2005 that's obvioualy not happening this time around. |

im sorry but in this case respect given where respect is due, nintendo was one of the big consoles when i was younger, and if things where different and nintendo didnt argue with sony in the first place the ps1 would never have happened but in this it shows nintendo are comited to there cause and if they dont back out of that ill stick by them to cause i believe they have a lot of fire in them yet

Nintendo kept making nes titles well into the snes lifetime, but then i suppose nes games werent that hard to make.
And Nintendo has enough problem supporting 1 console at the moment never mind 2. |

They're currently supporting 2 and that will rise to 3 by the end of the year |

*sound of yet another nail being driven into Ninty coffin*
can't see anyone apart from their inhouse dev creating games for both Cube and 'Revolution', imagine all 3rd party's will just port their XBox2 and PS3 titles to Revolution... :-/ heard revolution will feature a new kind of disc, 12", made of vinyl, spins at 33.3 rpm with streaming audio data... |

"Funny if Nintendo's "Revolution" system turns out to be a Gamecube with a waffle iron attached to it."
And two TVs. And a biro. |

>not happening this time around?! THEY ARE COLD NOW.
In fairness I did mention that by saying more short term support would be nice. Where on earth it is I don't know. We seem to get two games at the end of the year from N and one or two others during the year. Dont' know why they are so slow. If they have 4 platforms to support (GBA, DS, GC, Rev) then it'll probably decrease aswell :(. |

Hopefully they will focus on the aesthetics of Revolution as whilst I'm a Nintendo fan the lack of AAA titles makes my Cube an ornament right now...
*waits for the announcement of Mario 128 as the launch title...* /cues soundbite of final large nail driven into N-shaped coffin |
