no, he is refering to how Goldeneye came out over 1 year after Mario 64... |
Exactly. And yes I am well aware that Perfect Dark came out a while after Golden Eye, so there is nothing fabricated at all. Golden Eye came out at a perfect time. Fact is Golden Eye was able to hold up our gatherings at my cousin's house, a few drinks, pop the game in and there we go, for many hours usually around 2 days a week or so depending on schedules. Hell my cous use to even pull out his SNES whenever we were tired of GE (which was rare since it would be about 6 people or so, therefore there were waits), and yes, you guessed it, MK2 and Killer Instinct would be another set of titles we had fun with. Ninty has shown that it can be fun with diverse titles for several people. Before GE it was almost unheard of in an FPS to have that much fun on a console with that many people (actually I don't recall playing one before that with several people in a room, I could be wrong).
These are things PS3 and 360 don't seem to get to this day. PS3 you can have 7 controllers, yet the only true party game that utilizes that is a bomberman game. I would love to see splitscreen multiplayer for 4 people on KZ2 for example. At least 360 did it with Halo, but not much else. For fighting games like SSBB, they could have a SF with 2v2, or battle royale, or another KoF, making it a 3v3, etc. So much potential yet not taken advantage of. This is where Ninty wins hands down but their showing of quality games has been rather lackluster and can do better considering the install base and all the profits they have gotten out of it.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
