Nintendo continuing its interesting trend?
« on: March 22, 2011, 03:00:06 pm »
So, in my opinion,

The Gameboy Color is more advanced (for example better graphics) than the NES
The Gameboy Advance is more advanced than the Super Nintendo
The Nintendo DS is more advanced than the Nintendo 64

What about the Nintendo 3DS?  Do you feel it will be more advanced than the gamecube?

I bet it will be slightly more advanced, or if it isn't graphical-wise, then it will be with the 2 screens.

However, the problem is that for some system, the game choice dropped from a system to another. For example, a lot of NES RPGs are absent from the GBC, and for the GBA the sound quality for many game ports is crappy, not to mention I have yet to see classics such as Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger for the GBA (although CT came out for the DS later). The DS seems to break this trend, though, considering the 64 had a terrible game choice (great games, but where are all the RPGs?)

My main problem with the GBA ports is the reduced screen size, and the ridiculously bright graphics in some games.

I think every platform has its own pros and cons. for example, the NES is just cool, as you see those complicated games (for its time). so can you think many reasons for being cool for every platform.

It has HD Graphics, unlike the Wii...

It has 3D without glasses.

Without any doubt,
this is the best console ever.

Weird I didn't see the bright graphics. But yeah I remember sound was an issue. Just compare Final Fantasy VI or Sonic the Hedgehog sound from the original versions to FFVI Advance and Sonic Genesis re-releases. X.x

I don't think it has over 640x480 (maybe 320x240?) pixels (unless you count every pixel twice due to the 3D... but it wouldn't be HD even then)

It's only present in a few games. Since the original GBA didn't have a backlight, they made everything too bright instead, making it look terrible on GBAs that have backlight.

not quite yet, though it has a shot.  I personally don't like the double screen idea though -- if they could just jazz up the Advance SP design, that would be a buy for me.  And if It came with a pokemon game 'Pokemon Rainbow' where you could play through a 2000 hour story in more than the 5 regions ;D

I guess you're asking too much :P

The double screen is pretty cool for me.

I believe it is (afterall it's epic), but Wii has features the DS could never haver due to being a TV console.

Though, I have to admit the number of colors a DS screen can show is a bit... lame.  I think it's like 17 bit.

So, twice that of prizm :P

I think its like 840 X 480 - total, the pixels per eye is half.
