Sega went down the drain because of their hardware failures, Sega games have consitently done very well and been innovative and fun. The Saturn and the Dreamcast killed Sega's hardware chances, not Sega's game design. I'm just glad they got out of hardware and went purely software, becuase they make awesome games (Shenmue, Jet Grind/Set Radio, Sonic, Panzer Dragoon, etc.)
As far as "actually,, nintendo might just be saved by theyre gameboy.... the mini super nintendo as i like to callit. super nintendo was the best, if nintendo keeps up with the gameboy.. they just might stay in buisness. ["..........they have practically no competition. Anyone who tries to compete in the handheld market not only gets crushed, but incinerated and then vaporized. Nintendo makes so much money off the GBA and GBA titles like Pokemon it's ungodly. Nintendo could lose this round of the Console wars entirely, and the next few too, and it'd still be rolling in money if they keep up their handheld success. The smart don't even try to compete there, even Sony has released games for the GBA. Can't beat em, might as well join em.
Derailing aside, Windwaker was great. Yes, it was way too short, yes it was way too easy ("died" once while I was on the phone, but of course I had 3 fairies and a bottle of that soup) but it was fun. I didn't care about most of the side-quests though... there was no Big Goron Sword to get, no special items aside from the Hero Mask to acquire that made a difference in gameplay. The boss fights though, were dead on. Massive bosses that you have to think somewhat to beat, though sometimes (Earth Temple, I'm looking at you) beating the boss was more of beating the L-Targeting than anything else. Plus, the last fight was really fun. High points? Getting up to 1000 hits on Orca, the 50 level dungeon in Outset, and the final battle. Low points? Characters I didn't care about at all, sailing being kinda repetitive, and too short. All in all, please sir Miyamoto, can I have some more?
Just thought I'd toss in my two cents.
