Nintendo's Dolphin proves a slow swimmer

they still haven't released the dolphin. what is wrong with nintendo

Wow, you can really see how many kids post on this, with their lack of innovation and lack of technical knowledge. Seems to wander off to these pointless games that they like because it features music from Mtv or some crap like that.I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars to buy a so-called "next-generation" console that is generations behind my own computer. Who wants anything without hardware T&L for goodness sakes??I don't want to name the system because I only want the people who actually know what they are talking about to understand me. Nah, I don't want mass confusion, I'm talking about the PS2.And what's with the crowd's obssession with a game system that can play other things? like DVD movies and music CD's? DON'T YOU PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE A CD PLAYER?? Also, any "all-in-one" product will perform the tasks as good as the individual specialized products.I already have a 60-disc CD changer, I don't need a 32-bit console (which nintendo funded to make anyhow) just to play CD's, and I already have a DVD player with built in Dolby Digital processor and everything, I don't need a game console to do a half-assed job playing DVD movies with **** poor visual quality and standard stereo sound.Maybe Sony should have went to someone more experienced with processors than Toshiba. Sony and Toshiba teamed up to make a .18micron processor for the PS2. Big f***ing deal, has EITHER companies EVER made a .18micron processor before? NO! Maybe they should have been smart and went with someone with the technical knowledge, like the company with the largest and highest funded research team, IBM, who comes up with the best technology only to sell it to other companies and lose credit for it.I don't think you can compare the new systems, the new Nintendo will be in a whole new class on it's own, I've been waiting for a computer that ran on IBM's copper processor, but a nintendo system that used it is almost as good, so I'll settle with that.Forget X-Box, it's just a computer that hooks up with my TV, hell, I can hook up my computer to my TV and it'll be better anyhow.

I had a typo, in paragraph four, what that last sentence SHOULD say is: Also, any "all-in-one" product will NOT perform the tasks as good as the individual specialized products.

HAHAHAHA, the more I read these comments, the more it proves the majority of people ARE indeed stupid, I've seen things like people saying how the "PSX2" will rock, um, the X is a variable between 1 and 2, if you're saying playstation 2, it's PS2 moron, haha. Also, people wondering why PS1 did not have an "add on" for DVD, because CD-ROM drives cannot read DVD's. And the author of the article talking about stupid misleading information just discredits him.Also, why do people insist that the nintendo delays puts nintendo behind playtation? I don't know about you, but I keep up with the sales and rental charts and I've never seen, not ONCE was the top five or top ten NOT dominated by nintendo, Perfect Dark, HUGE delay, but once it came out, been number 1 in sales and rental charts STEADILY. That's the big point you kids don't see, it's not who gets the million seller for a week that's the winner, it's the company that can keep a steady and consistant high that wins the war, like they say, you don't win the ballgame with 1 homerun.Man, I want to make a planet where only smart people live, wait, no, then I might not be invited oh well, at least I can still make fun of the majority of the world, hahaha, "DUUUUUH, PSX2 will rock because it will play DVD movies dude, duh, I don't know what DVD stands for but the PSXXXXX2 will kick so much ***, dude, and the dolphin sucks because the PSX2 will be released sooner, dude. And also, the PSX1 had all the good games because you can steal cars and stuff dude, and they also had games with cool skater music, dude, and the PSXXXX1 can play music CD's, man, I've always wanted something that could play music CD's, it's incredidabol, DUUUUHHHHHHH" haha, I know this directly offends people because it is almost exactly how some of you sound. Reality check. Man, the more I read the more I have to say.

NINTENDO SUCK BIG TIME !!!!First the SNES was said to be better than the Genesis, and yes it was technically better but the gameplay SUCKED !Then the Nintendo 64 was way better then the PSX - correct but the gameplay SUCKED !Now the Dolphin will be coming out to rival the PS2 and the Dreamcast and guess what I reckon it'll SUCK !And for a last laugh, don't you think the Gameboy is mega $*(! - I can't believe it took them so long to make it color, I think the only reason it's done so well is that everyone else gave up on the hand held games machines.(Not that I liked any hand held machines)

IBM - Don't even go there!You remember the IBM/Cyrix processor that fell over ALL THE TIME ??Have you ever tried to configure an IBM PC with more than one PCI card or have you fitted something as menial as a CD-ROM drive or even a damned PCI card into one and had to remove the entire metal side (After removing many screws etc)?????Have you seen IBM's flagship Netfinity Servers??????? - They don't have a cool front panel that says whats wrong with the machine if anything fails like Compaq for instance - no, you have to slide the server out of the rack, open the top cover and look at some crappy LED's they've put in there, then check what LED means what and then you've found the problem - CRAP!You obviously have some Nintendo fetish or something - wake up and smell the coffee for Christ's sake!

Anyway I'd agree with some of you that everyone should buy a PC instead of licking around the likes of Nintendo.The Voodoo7 is out soon with 128MB of texture memory, phew - that's gonna blow every silly console out of whatever water they may be in (Nintendo will be in **** not water because they SUCK)If only Microsoft would actually create a true 64-bit operating system game producers could make things very exciting !However, Sony rule as they make everything that's good and even the Aibo - Gotta be happy with that little blighter!

Ok, Ive seen enough. Ive told you all the truth,and others have supported me. Like i said,all this crap about gameplay and such...its garbage. Go ent and N64 and Goldeneye,just once. That game it ASTOUNDINGLYsuperior to ANYTHING on PS1. Comparedto cheap rifoffs like syphon filterand metal gear solid(which wasnt a badlooking or playing game... on BLEEM.)Anyway, i knew it you are all fallingfor subtlies like good commercials!AND that fact that there are more Mrated games on PS!Now, there would be one thing that would do everything in. It is a possibilty that nintendowill include a BROADBAND modem on its"Dolphin" that is useable if one hasa broadband isp.ANDVALVE, the holy grail of game makers, is,get this, rumored to be producing such games asHalf Life and ... Team Fortress 2. Yes,that would ultimetly put EVERYTHINGelse on death row. Just thought you'dlike to know. (And quit spamming my inbox with hate mail,idiots. It just makes you look stupid.)

WHY THE PS MANAGED TO OUTSELL THE N64First of all the PS came out and the people desperate for the next generation consoles flocked to buy it. This was inevitable, but good things come to those who wait.When the N64 came out anyone would have to admit that it’s arsenal of games was lacking the only thing keeping it going was an excellent Mario 64 and little others. In true games developers’ fashion it took a while to change this. In this time and afterwards the advertisements hit the TV. These adverts usually consisted of certain scenarios shaking as though being affected by an earthquake and them crappy shapes appearing somewhere along the line. The average dumb *** was truly gripped by such power that could be held by a console. So off they went and purchased it.By the time people had stolen a few cars, told their mates how they had blown the chase off old bill and exaggerated it into stupid proportions it was becoming a hype phenomenon.Nintendo pulled some way superior titles out along with Rare but too many cartoony graphics gave the thick ***** the opportunity to dub it as a “kiddie machine” from simply taking it at face value. These thick ***** were also scared of games that required more in-depth thinking.NOW the image battle was well and truly dominated by the PS and like sheep a lot of people followed it. People who thought for themselves (rare cases) managed to see some excellent quality in the N64 and went and purchased it.The N64’s Quality was the only thing that managed to sell it. If they would have got the image right they could have killed it. If the N64 never had quality it would have ended up like the Saturn.Games like Resident Evil and GTA made the PS. RE was terrible and GTA’s lastability was diabolical but people thought they should like them because of their image.I realise that there are normal people owning PSs to and hope I did not offend them.One last thing that goes to prove my point were are all the decent arguments for the PS side, all I read is “Nimtesto suks”etc…

THAT LAST PARAGRAPH AGAIN:One last thing that goes to prove my point where are all the decent arguments for the PS side, all I read is “Nimtesto suks”etc…I missed the H out and wanted to pick up on it before some dumb **** does and call my comment ironical when they don't even know what it means.

NOW IVE REALLY HAD IT. You people are STILLarguing? Ok, for a moment lets forgetnext-gen consoles. I still think the SNES0wnz. Miraculous games like The Final FantasySeries. Earthbound. Chrono trigger.the SuperFX chip. And lots more.(P.S. As a n addon to above, both final fantasy AND metal gear started on nintendo,as did most other developers.)

Man, do y'all argue about the stupist **** in the hole freaky world. I got a Compaq computer, Playstation, reg.Super.N64, gameboy-both b/w&C, gamegear...Tv,vcr, the ***** channel at a friends house..hehe, pay-per-views, a few good friends, wonderful parents, a guitar. Let's just put it this way, who gives a **** for the little **** when I own my own pick-up truck ext.Cab..Got it? Your little fights ain't nothing. Who cares? Get out and have fun with your friends and stop d*ckin around with your computer.

You're all a bunch of f--kin' IYIOTS! I own: A PC, A Playstation, An N64, and a Dreamcast. Now, I enjoy ALL of these systems, for a VARIETY OF DIFFERENCES. Why can't we all just get along? All these console systems are great, and deserve respect for what they have created. All of you should grow up.

Sorry for all those posts, I hit refresh twice by accident. Sorry guys.

put i this way guys, this argument is just sissy. i have a 5 pc's an N64 and a dreamcast. dolphin is gonna suck, i know it and you all do too. PS2 was just a dreamcast with DVD (everyone's got a bloody DVD anyway). now dolphin comes out last trying to get some doh. we could all resolve this by just getting some low priced games for dreamcast. i mean the newer the console the more expensive right?? it's just dumb as gamers to buy more expensive consoles with dumb extensions. i mean the dreamcast has the capabilities for the **** games, all it needs is games!!! to conclude this i have to say just make more games for dreamcast. it's the better way to go! (p.s. they make the equivelents for pc anyway so what are you all complaining about??)

Since this is the boasting forum an all:I've got six ferrari's, 9N64s, 18 PCs with 1000MHz processors and mansions all around the world.I realise it's gone too far but it makes my blood boil when some dumb **** gives it grief about their PS when a lot of 'em have not touch the N64.

Scar:I know you were trying to make yourself seem like a superior person with your comment but some people like to debate.

The dreamcast is already dead that is why the heat is on between Nintendo and Sony. We will have to buy one of the two if we want a decent new console.OH AND SKILLS how can you accuse Dolphin or PS2 of going to have "dumb extensions" what the hell is that fishing rod doing on Dreampants.The extension RAM for the N64 for is the most technologically advanced RAM out for PCsWhich is nice.

Everyone that thinks dolphin will suck can suck my finger! Everyone who has already pre-ordered playstion2 is a gay **** becasue it sux!

OK, I have no Dreamcast, no N64 and no Playstation 2, but, I have played with all three and I can say Playstation 2 is THE CONSOLE. Dreamcast is just a blurry effect wrong done. N64 sucks, every expansion is a pack wich are very expensive, so if you wanna "feel" a game you will have to pay as much as a Playstation 2 importated... no way. So their next console (dolphine) will be 3/4 of the same ****.

Typical ps fan's spelling

Nintendo sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im a graphic designer and I know graphics. I have been a loyal Nintendo fan until the 64 and hope they will prove themselves worthy in their new cd format cosole. They have been a leader and I don't see how they could let that slip by staying with a silicon graphic style console. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do. I also have a dreamcast and for all of the haters out there, its sick. I've never liked sega consoles because of the playability. Same goes for sony. But the Dreamcast is sick. Sega is an inovater as far as technology goes and the online functions of the dreamcast are going to keep this platform around for a while. I am looking forward to seeing the PS2 but I think the x-box and its features are going to blow all three out of the water. Got to say though that my PC still reigns supreme but is also cost the most $$$.

I think the PS2 rules, the xbox will be the only thing to come close to it but it will still rule. All HALE PS2!!!

All I have to say is, N64 better get there act together if they are gonna be able to compete with the new sysetems coming out, Like PS2 and the new System being made by Microsoft. 64 Started off good, with Mario and everything, but then they started making all these no name games, some were good but most were horrible, they really have to try and get out of the baby games, I mean kid games are all right, what do you think Zelda is, any way by baby games, I am talking about Glover (Horribly short, boring and stupid) and Pokmeon Snap, What the hell was that. OI beat that game in like 15 minutes, With a picture of every one of the the Pokémon that were in the game. (That was a famous series but they really messed up pokemon for the 64.)I won't even go in to detail what was wrong with those Army Men games. Theres tons more stupid games out there. Any way I just hope Nintendo starts really making some good games. Now I know Nintendo is not responsible for all of the crappy games, Hasbro is just a horrible company for 64 use. The Creators of Glover, I wanna destroy that game. Well I guess thats all I have to say, e-mail me if you have any comments or questions.

i think nintendo's dolphin is going to be a big success considering that the ps2 has all the same features as the dolphin has, i think it will be a very even match against them both.the xbox will be a first for microsoft and it will be with dolphin and ps2 all the way !

Nintendo's Dolphin ist Voll Scheiße!!!!!! Die X-Box ist viel besser

Nintendo's Dolphin is ****ing *****!!!!!!!!All other consoles are much better

Dolhin's going to kick ****. PS2 flopped bigtime (see the financial results of sony) because they had crappy games and crappy graphics. And don't say i'm wrong, i've played it and the sega looks better. (until now that is...) And the Xbox is going to flop as well, because it is too much like a pc, whith the same games an'all. But because Sony has the best rpg's, i think it is still hard for Nintendo to make a machine which beats them all...

You people just don't get it, do you? I'm a student and I work in a game retail store. None of you, except those who also work in a similar area, can even join this debate, because you just don't know. I have worked in the industry for over 2 years, have spoken to reps, developers, programmers and been an avid gamer with avid gamer friends. The N64 was a disaster for Nintendo; it's that simply. The genius of the Game Boy and Pokemon, however much we all hate it, is what has kept them in the running these last two years. Many stores now don't even stock N64 stuff. And it doesn't matter what people think of PS 2. It's going to ride a wave of hype so high it'll make the average Tsunami look like a small drip from your kithchen tap. Developers are falling over themselves to develope for it. It doesn't matter if it's hard to program for (like the Saturn was), it doesn't matter if it's line-up sucks the big one (like every console EVER released, by the way), it doesn't even matter if it's just a black box with a small ferret inside, it will sell. And because it sell's, people will develope for it. Sony's recent profits may suck, but that's because they threw an insane amount of money into R&D for the PS 2.The X-Box, for similar reasons, will also be unlikely to fail. Let us remember the owner of Microsoft has roughly 120 times the money Sony put into researching and developing the PS 2 in his bank account. Microsoft could buy Sony. Bill could buy Sony by writing out a personal check.Even the DC is going to achieve a small amount amount of success. It's easy to program for; to convert a new PC title to DC takes...wait for it...3 weeks. It's been well(ish) marketed.But in this day and age, it's no longer about quality, it's about money and marketing. Nintendo's net worth was, at last take, about 5 Billion pounds, Sega standing at about 4. Hmmmm, doesn't exactly look like challenging the might of either Sony or Microsoft, does it? No, I think not.In short, about three years from now will see PS 2 and X-Box dominating the console marketplace, with Dolphin and DC marginalised. PC will still be there, 'cos the games will always be two steps ahead of anything a

Your all wrong, my Atari 2600 is by far the best console out there, PERIOD!

All this ******** bout' what new console is going to be the best, it all comes down to the games the company with the coolest game line up gets the $$$

All I got to say is that PS2 and the X-Box will dominate the gaming industry for years to come. One is that Sony makes kick-*** quality games. It's true that when the PS2 will come out that there won't be that many games out but they will start coming out by Chrismas time. One game that will keep gamers busy before all these games come out will be the best game ever. Gran Turismo 2000. Need I say more. If its anyting like GT & GT2, it will be a sure winner. Another will be John Madden 2001. The John Madden series is the best football game their ever is. So all you people bad mouthing PS2 can kiss my ***. I don't need to hear any crap from you guys cause i've played with the system. Its a piece of ****. No one even uses the modem. The 56K modem is crap. When the PS2 Hard Drive comes out, it will make the DC 56K look like ****. Don't even make me take about the games. One for example is Crazy Taxi. My god does that game suck. Who the hell is going to drive a taxi around in a video game. Not me cause it SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So all you people out there who says that the Nintendo Dolphin and Sega DreamCast rules, can kiss my ***. The only system that will only compare to the Playstation 2 will be the X-Box. All i've read about the X-Box is good things. And the got some killer PC game going to that system like Warcraft 3. So all you DC and Dolphin fans can kiss my beautifull GREEK ***!!!!

I think I see your views on this and I'd like to point out a few things:a: the game industry guy is right, things will sell because they are popular, not because they are good or well developed.b: I have a friend who is going to buy a PS2 as soon as it comes out regardless of any failed promises, just because he loves his PSX so much.I for one, will wait for all the new gen systems to come out and then base my decision upon the facts.(NOT HYPE)I hope you will all take this into mind as well.

One thing to remember is this... who gives a **** who RULES to market. It boils down on what games you like for what system. True, Nintendo 64 sucks... but if a person LOVES pokemon games, then they have no choice. Now about PS2... the very people that says it is the BOMB has never seen the **** thing in person. I have at a slide showing in Nashville. It is very impressive, but not 200 dollar more impressive than DC. But, i will say the best thing is it's DVD capabilities. You'll almost pay as much for a DVD by itself. Not too bad. Now for DC. I love it myself ( and I used to hate Sega ). Most people do not know Microsoft owns the Sega name, they just did not change it. That's were the idea of a modem came in. It's very nice and will last for a while. About the Dolphin... when it comes, i will believe... until then, who cares. And I love Nintendo. X-Box will be the future. I am a computer tech and understand the idea behind it. It will be of the mark. I saw a slide of one of the robot demo games... all I got to say is whoa! ****... Get ready

Nintendo's Dolphin is ****ing *****

sucker (arschloch)

What Makes a Console suceed:Capability 10%Games 20%IMAGE OF GAMES AND CONSOLE 70%(Who does "god" think he is saying we can't jion the debate, ****)

Haistakaa vittu!!!

N64 was a better machine than any POS that sony pumped out. It's games were way better, I think the ratio of good games to bad games was about 3:1. Sony's was about 33:1. It had so many ****** games, and a few good ones. The N64 kicked the playstations *** in specs, but so many people designed for PS because it uses CD, which are easier to produce, and code.Oh, and so you don't get confused, don't try comparing the PS2 to N64, because it is the next generation. Plus, the StarCube beats the PS2 in performance. To bad Nintendo is infamous for pushing back release dates, but even so, I am buying the StarCube when it comes out. I may even get the X-box, if Microsoft can get some good games on it. Halo will be great, but it will be on computers, too.

Plastation 1 and 2 sucks BIG TIME!!!! It has crappy looking games. I have both N64 and playstation so I know how bad the games on playstation look compared to N64. The Dolphin is just gonna blow the competition away period!!

Screw the Sony branded consoles!!!!!

Playstation rulez, n64 suck, all n64 owners bang the little cratridge slots but becaus etheuir ****s are so small they get lost and the n64 swallows them up, dear of 'em

I think Sony's PS 2 will be much better as the Dolphin and the Dreamcast, because you can watch DVD's on it.

**** u idiot!!!!! Dolphin can play dvds and so can ps2!!!! ****!!!

Ps2 will not have what it takes to be a sucses . but nether Dolphin or X-box have

do u know how suck playstation isn64 has about 100mhz and playstation has 33.3mhz or something (piece of ****)and ps2 is 300 dolphin is 400 and it looks like xbox is about 733compare it playstation sucks

Hey why dont all of you just buy a Dvd player you"re better of buying movies then games and you"ll have more fun
