Actually the SNES featured the most advanced graphics subsystem of its time. Too bad the crack smoking engineers (obviousy Nintendo haven't laid them all off yet the Game Boy Advance was able to reach shelves without a screen backlight) paired it with a 3Mhz CPU. To get a better idea of what they did think of putting a GeForce 3 into a 486.

I'm not mad, I just hate Mario Kart. The whole thing just screams "play nice kiddies" and that kills the fun. I prefer Wacky Wheels on the PC (the first kart racer I ever played) and Crash Team Racing on the PSX.

The only games I ever liked on the N64 was Goldeneye and Rouge Squadron.

wacky wheels? whoa, talk about oldies  
yeah, it was fun, especially in multi

gh3y. i liked the legend of Zelda: Ocarnica(or whatever) of time. it had good gameplay and (for N64) pretty good graphics. now i know that gameplay makes or breaks the game, but LOOK AT THAT! IT'S A FRIKKIN CARTOON! and look how happy and bright Link is! it reminds me of bat man from the 60's. all bright and cheary, nothing like the dark creature of the night he was meant to be, buti guess that's what happens in the time of the hippies. all peace and love ect.

but that doesn't even look like Link. it's a disgrace. i trust no one has any objections? *Holds out HLP Hammer of IP banning Justice* didn't think so.

We all seemed to like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.  Some of us seem to think that these two games defined the series - that this is the way Zelda was meant to be.  What we are forgetting however, is that those 2 games were the most Un-Zelda games so far.  Both of these games were dark and epic.  Was Zelda 1 epic? Was Link to the Past dark? No!  This new Zelda is returning the franchise to its roots.  It may not have the same looks as the 2 N64 games, but I can gaurantee it will be FUN and CHALLENGING.  I can also gaurantee that the necessary elements of Zelda will still be there.  There will be treasure chests in block mazes, there will be labyrinths, there will be items on cliffs that you have no idea how to get to.

i think the question is whether or not we actually WANT those old block dungeons back.

I honestly cannot see the resemblance between that cel shaded pile of ****e and either A Link to the Past or the original Legend of Zelda but maybe thats because I'm not enough of a Nintendo sheep...

I think this would be far more effective.  

 

 

Lets hope Nintendo doesn't turn Rouge Leader into some stupid kiddie game....I will be PISSED if they do.

yeah  
WW still rules (dunno how it would run on my PC tho...)

[Admiral LSD]

I'll have to dig out Wacky Wheels again myself... I don't know how its "let me do the thinking for you" sound card detection routine will fair with WinXPs DOS Sound emulation so I might be playing in silence but I'll give it a try anyway.

just think...

neither of those games would have existed if Mario Kart hadn't laid out the basic groundwork for the genre...

ever turned the gamma all the way up on a PC game & looked at the textures in a high-intensity situation?  ever noticed how they appear all blotchy & crap?

well there you have your answer as to why all N64 games had that dark look about them...  it showed that they had to use low colour depth textures to save space on the miniscule cartridges...

True but considering most of Nintendos first part games are aimed at children it took other companies to make a really fun kart racing game.
