I think the Cash cow that is Pokemon kept Nintendo\'s pockets on stuff.

Don\'t forget the 35 million units they sold and Mario and Zelda games.

35 million units?  is that just a random number?

No it\'s the number that most video game sites give for the total number of n64 units sold...

so its a group effort?

is http://www.nintendorks.com one of these illustrious sites?

Heh heh, these threads were always so amusing. At the mere mention of Nintendo, and mm automatically goes into "Sony roxz, Nintendo suxz" mode. Hilarity ensues.

Ha! 35 million units!!??

You are telling be that 2 videogames generated 1.8 billion dollars in revenue?

That is quite obviously BS.

Besides I think it\'s pretty widely known that the highest selling console game of all time is the original Mario Bros. with something in the 10-13 million range of games sold.

35 million units is the number of consoles that was sold( around there).

I got this from various sites over the internet(IGN, DR, ect). It shouldn\'t be a surprise to everyone.

That is quite obviously BS.

I said Mario and Zelda gameS. Mario64, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Zelda:OOT, Zelda MM...you get the point.

Hmmm... I know for a fact it sold over 6 million copies in Japan alone...

Here\'s an interesting fact-  Goldeneye sold over SEVEN million copies. Good work Rare.

To stay on topic, Conker\'s Bad Fur Day got a 9.9 from IGN64. The only game to get higher than that is Zelda:OOT. Impressive.  

 

Wow a 9.9?
Maybe there\'s some life left in me old N64 still.
Still that\'s a 9.9 for an aging console and the score is in comparison to other games on the system, so I\'m not sure if I should plop down the 60 bucks for it,rather than spend them on a next gen game like ZOE.

I\'ll probably let my brother buy it and play it when he\'s done (I always manipulate him into spending his cash on something I\'mnot too sure about)

You know I am an admitted Nintendo fan but that is not a very good argument. Mario has been in everything from Punch Out to Mario Party. It makes no sense to count all those games as one.

I don\'t follow...

I was simply saying that games with the name Mario on it helped make the N64 a successful system.

kain, u poor human

NOONE, me included, has EVER seen mm hype the PS2 as better than any other system

IN FACT, he trashes it just like any other over priced system out.

please think before u speak

videogames.com gave CBFD a 9.3 (a ten for gameplay) and IGN gave it a 9.9 (a ten for game play). If videogames.com gave conker a 9.3 and gave final fantasy an 8.5 which everybody is saying is sooooo great (i haven\'t played it personally) then conker has to be a pretty good game. Also, it might not have the best stuff for a 17+ year old, its definitely not a kiddy game. So, if everybody\'s arguing that conker\'s not a good game, you\'re wrong, but if you\'re saying that the humor and the look aren\'t THAT mature... then i might be able to see your point.

Look at the game.  It has fluffy characters, big eyes and vibrant colors.  Anyone..and I mean anyone who isn\'t aware of the content in this game will automaticly label this game for kids.  Nintendo is going to get in trouble with the PTA because its misleading..sure they have that M rating plastered on the box, but the picture of conker overshadows it.  Does anyone remember Joe camel.  This situation so much reminds me of that.  Cigs are for adults..but they used a cartoon character as their mascot to sell them.   People claimed the industry to target kids because of Joe.  So now Joe is gone.  I know this game isn\'t as bad as Cigs, but the situation is kinda the same.  What is going to stop guy\'s younger brother or sister to come along and play the game..kids are going to play this game..that M rating isn\'t going to stop that..and parents are going to be mad.  

P.S  I dont have a hatred towards Nintendo..I love the Big N, but I seriously hope they dont think they will get away with something like this and not take heat for it.  

sorry Trinitius. I HAVE playe the final build, if you werent such a jackass and skip over all the times I have statedf this, then maybe you would actually come to the conclusion that, no, thus game isn\'t the be-all, end-all game.

What emotion? I remember him walking out of a bar drunk, then waking up, whoa! EMOTION! all the stupid parodies things have been done before anyway. Matrix-spoof = scary-movie, grim-reaper thing= princess bride, and so on.

You are getting more hilarious and more obscure as you keep posting, I used to respect you for sticking with an opinion youy had and defending it in a smart way, now you just spew crap like an idiot on a sinking ship.

The game really isn\'t worth it. Wanna know a game that shows emotion? Shenmue, FF7, Phantasy Star 4, Phantasy Star 3, have you played any of these games? They will  wrench your heart out, if you take the time away from your n64-analog stick-anal-sex, you would see that, yes, there are more than Nintendo games out there, and yes, hype hurts, and hype hurts alot.

I am not reading through the last page and a half because it is all of you criticisng people with a basis for their arguments.
