    N64 had a crapload of hype and was impossible to find in the Atlanta area for months after it's release. I waited in more than one line and hit up dozens of shops in the area only to be told there were none. (Luckily I had one myself on launch day, I was just trying to get one for my bosses kids...nothing like a little Christmas brown-nosing) I'd say it had just as much hype or more than the Wii ever did to begin with. People stood in awe of Mario64 at demo kiosks in ToysRUs weeks before the system came out, and flew off the shelves when they hit. Many a kid went without a N64 that Christmas. If there's some chart that states otherwise...I'd question it's data as well.

     

    Yes, I remember those days as well. The N64 was such a highly anticipated Console at Toys' R 'Us, Blockbuster Video, Wal & K-Mart had to shoosh spectators away from there Kiosk Units. When the N64 come out, the Media Channel's covered the N64 like mad and in Japan, Riots almost broke out. Leave it to Nintendo, to toy with a Individuals Imagination. It can be a adventure at times!

    For those of you lucky enough to have a Microcenter near by they are having a super deal on refurbished 360s right now. You can get a reburbed Premium for $50 less than a new Core and they come with a 1 year free store in exchange. I already bought 2. One's a second for me and one is for someone I know.

    I would shun it as much as possible. My 360 broke and MS sent me 2 Refurbished Lemons and they had to be sent back ASAP! No.4 will be here soon. *sigh* If this POS Console breaks again, MS is going to give me a Brand New Xbox Elite.

    :dunce:

    I saw that VG Chartz before and its completely inaccurate, needs citations and better references!!

    Way to put yourself in the minority. You're not helping your argument.

     

    Well to be honest, you first mention this chart and then you wanted to prove me wrong but you said that now they ruin it. My arguments are still firm!.

    No, its absolutely True!! When the N64 and the Gamecube arrive in the United States, they where both extremely high anticipated consoles (like the Wii).

    No, they didn't. I would show you a VGchartz graph that would prove you wrong, but it seems they have turned to shit since the last time I checked.

     

    I saw that VG Chartz before and its completely inaccurate, needs citations and better references!! I don't have a problem with the Wii (I got one to), but I feel that the only major break-thru is just the controller. everything else is Last-Gen Material. If I would say that the best system (System Wise!!) of all time is the Wii, I would Certainly Reconsider!! It makes me ponder if they put enough effort in the console at all. Most likely, Nintendo still saw potential with the ATI and IBM Technology in the Gamecube (Which I enjoyed Greatly!!) However, its a Nintendo console none the less, so there's no dissatisfaction on there part.

    Like the N64 and Gamecube, its most likely Nintendo will run out of steam and let PS3 and The X-Box 360 will certainly take over.

    The N64 and GC didn't have anywheres NEAR the hype the Wii has. I still don't understand WHY people keep saying this. Maybe it has something to do with personal opinion interfering with whats actually happening?

     

    No, its absolutely True!! When the N64 and the Gamecube arrive in the United States, they where both extremely high anticipated consoles (like the Wii). Sadly, they were both disappointing. I really don't care about the Wii System really. I play some new games from time-to-time (Like Victorious Boxer: Revolution, which is okay. The sensoring with the controller and the bar really needs improvements) and the Wii Browser (which I use). But nothing else to brag about. Here are the Wii Titles I currently own.

     

    1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

    2. Red Steel

    3. Victorious Boxer: Revolution

     

    I really want to play

     

    1. Mario Galaxy

    2. Mario & Sonic: At the Olympics.

    3.Super Smash Bros: Brawl

    4. Manhunt 2

    The Nintendo Wii is a overrated console really! The only cool features are the Wii Browser, The Virtual Console, and The Wii remote (Still the sensor bar and the Wii remote stinks, in which it can't sense each motion correctly). Like the N64 and Gamecube, its most likely Nintendo will run out of steam and let PS3 and The X-Box 360 will certainly take over. Personally, I despise Reggie-Fils-Aime. I feel he's in no position to be CEO of Nintendo Of America and should go back working for Pizza-Hut. I don't like his marketing tactics and the way he consults. I also heard that the Wii is a complex system to Tap Into and working with the Wii Remote, makes it just as worst!

    Hi Guys:

     

    I'm currently looking for some Atari Hanging Display Products. Its open to anything that's Atari and I'm willing to purchase at a super reasonable price. I'm currently looking for a hanging Atari Phoenix display mobile that has the Silver Phoenix still attached! If you have one and would be intrigued to sell one or any others, please let me know. Thanks.

    Ebay does not work properly on IE anymore.  If you're using an older computer, try using Netscape.

     

     

    Yes exactly right sk_u. I do have Netscape.

     

     

    Hi Jason:

     

    Yes, I did have problems like that with ebay. It was really there fault, because there settings were not justed to my CPU format. They took care of it in 48hrs of that time.

    I still have my first issue Nintendo Power. I loved them from 1988-1999. However, I notice that somethings amiss when NP was having paid printed advertisements in there issues from 3rd-party support. I don't have the love that I used to for Nintendo Power (since they Stink now) however, I don't want it to be Out-of-print, thanks to Cyberspace.

     

    I think that GamePro, and Game Informer are the only two doing fine.. EGM is trying to reorganise itself .

    With Halo 3 just around the corner, I realized I have never played Halo 2. I did play the original game (Mac version, which looked fantastic), but never Halo 2. Does anyone have a copy they could sell me or lend me? The current retail price for a new copy seems to be $30..

     

    Thanks,

     

    ..Al

     

     

    I have one. But I'm not selling it to guys name Albert. ;)
