"Silicon Knights ends Nintendo exclusivity deal" => I hate Nintendo

makes no sense

*Looks for article on Nintendo ending its relationship with Rare.

They lost most of my buisness, and my respect that day.

Silicon does not suck. They are much better than half of Nintendo's first party teams.

and yea I am pissed seeing as Nintendo pretty much just stated they do not give a about anyone over the age of 12

Hey wait, lets see what Rare has done since breaking away from Nintendo...







Oh that's right, they haven't published anything but crap!
Yes Rare was great on the N64 with Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Conker... but they really haven't done much for the XBOX now anyway.

Can you not read????
SK were the ones to end it.

and i am over 12 and hate anything M rated and stealth crap.

and for wanting things geared for people over 12, you seem to have a sub-6th grade reading level.

I can read. I know that SK ended the agreement, but it was Nintendo's fault they wanted to leave. The advertising budget Nintendo gave their games was about 3 bucks.

SK probably felt like they were mistreated as they should. Their games would have sold a lot more if NOA would have put some wieght behind them with some ads (I still see Ninja Gaiden ones and it came out before MGS)

just because someone ends an agreement does not mean it was their fault. It sometimes has to do with the party they agree to not providing all the benefits and promises they hoped for.

Also its not mature games I am only looking for, mainly I want something that is challenging and a good story (like a Max Payne). Just because it is bloody does not mean anything ( Rainbow Six 3 is one of my favorite games and I hardly ever see blood)

But Nintendo Loves You.

The three games I want the most are MP2, Killer 7 and Resident Evil 4. I just wish that Nintendo would realize that there are more games than ones for those below 12.

Also NOA needs to start bringing more of the original software from Japan to America (Mother 1+2 seeing as most have never played Mother ) (Legend of Starfi) etc.

making games exclusively for the Gamecube is like asking to lose alot of money

I doubt Silicon Knights is completely blameless in this. I think that the glaring omission of GBA connectivity in Twin Snakes didn't help Silicon Knights. Nintendo had been lauding GBA connectivity in the game, and pointing it out as a major selling point. It can't have gone over well that Silicon Knights wasn't able to come to the table with something.

I do not think Mario Kart used it though. I do think connectivity could have been cool as a constant CODEC feature or a map but in a metal gear game there is no real place for it.

Also I think Konami had a lot more to do with rushing TTS than Nintendo did as Konami did not want conflicting sales between TTS and MGS 3

Uh.. I grew up playing Nintendo's titles as a kid, and I don't have this huge "need for mature titles" that you seem to be completely driving home. I don't look at a game and think" Hmm, that's pretty kiddy right there, but that game over there is mature, I think I'll go ahead and like that because that's what I'm supposed to like since I'm "all grown up now".

I want RE4 as much as anyone else, but it has nothing to do with it being a mature title. I love my Zelda and Mario too. Just because I'm older now doesn't mean I can't still enjoy the same type of game I always have (in this respect).

I know that. I understand that. Its not a kiddy thing at all. I do know that if even Nintendo refuses to continue supporting Mature titles, that means that game wise we will get even more shortchanged than we already are.

I love SK but I know this will have the trickle down effect meaning less titles coming out for the cube.

Also Dennis did you ever play Max Payne? It was incredibly cheesy , but the gameplay was top notch and much better than most things on the market

Eh, as far as the mature battle.. I don't really see it. SK was just *selected* to do the MGS remake - someone else could have done it.

Eternal Darkness was a bomb - mature or not, it was a bomb. I liked the game to a certain degree, but the magic system was broken and the combat was bland. I liked the idea of the story, but there are times at which the presentation falters. What could have been a fantastic game was only a mediocre-good game.

I know ED was not the greatest. I just do not want to see the console die like the 64 and thats where it is headed.

I do not think Mario Kart used it though. I do think connectivity could have been cool as a constant CODEC feature or a map but in a metal gear game there is no real place for it.

The thing was, Nintendo wasn't promising and hyping up connectivity for Mario Kart... they were for TTS. Nintendo doesn't like to be made the fool. Silicon Knights is a good developer, but they aren't great. I'd be much more worried if Retro just decided to walk away.

Also I think Konami had a lot more to do with rushing TTS than Nintendo did as Konami did not want conflicting sales between TTS and MGS 3

That's probably very likely as well... Of course, this all just might be Silicon Knights were getting too big for thier britches and forgeting what there place was... and trying to force thier will on Nintendo.
