Nintendo abandons the console race!!!

[Dream Theater]

Nintendo has finally announced what many people have been expecting; the company will be leaving the hardware business. Stating that they cannot compete with Sony, Microsoft, and Nokia's N-Gage, Nintendo's current GameCube and Game Boy Advance will be its last console systems.

The veteran video game manufacturer will focus its time and resources on game development, much as Sega has done. Nintendo spokespeople have stressed that gamers will still see more of Mario, Zelda, and all of the rest of their favourite Nintendo characters, and in the future they will be able to enjoy those games on mulitple platforms.

Despite the announcement, Nintendo has stated that they fully intend to support their two current console systems for at least the next three years, with a full range of games in development for each, so current gamers need not worry about their systems becoming obsolete anytime soon. Furthermore Xbox and Playstation 2 owners can look forward to one day playing the latest Zelda game on their system of choice.

You're about 4 days late for April Fools, ya twit.

I hereby order you to lose the 'Dream Theater' name and pick a name from band that more suits you. You are hereby known as 'Spandau Ballet' as that is the weakest, gheyest band I can think of right now.

You don't deserve the Dream Theater moniker.

I didn't say a single thing about how many posts you have, I didn't even look. Sounds like you're a wee bit insecure.

When shall we expect your name change? Don't make me call Mike Portnoy to come put the beat down on your buttocks.

The only reason I don't. nor ever will belive THIS, post about this topic, is the fact you just said "...Gameboy Advance Will Be Nintendos Last Systems", had there been no GBA, I would belive this maybe 20% more, but Nintendo isn't giving up since GC is getting better monthly sales than PS2.

Boy, nothing like making someone new feel welcome.

Dream Theatre, first off Welcome.

The rest of you, calm down. I'm sure he's not the first to not notice the date on an article and put 2 and 2 together. As far as name calling, seems you guys started it.

Let's show a little patience with new members, shall we.

See, now i go and defend you and you through Zion a zinger. Is it really true that the members around herer are THAT immature.....hmmmmmmmmm. Just couldn't help yourself at the end there.

Personally any argument that anyone makes and uses, sucks, stinks, etc...without any redeeming info is a waste of time.

I'll leave you guys to play in the sandbox, don't get too out of hand.

the only reason why the gc was bad is nintendo only relied on there own games there were very few 3rd party games on that system
