That's not true.. lets see, you would have missed the first DK64 screenshot, the release of the movie of Perfect Dark, the announcement of Pokemon Stadium 2, some speculation on the next gen console. Maybe none of this stuff excites YOU, but by the same token I could really care less that FFVIII is coming out, or any of the other PSX news that has been released. BTW, you seem to be inmplying that only Nintendo pulls that Japan-only release stuff. I beleive that is pretty common.. with Sega especially. Still, you have a point. I mean, LoRK supposedly has some redeeming characteristics, and according to Peer is pretty fun once you get into it, but it isn't released in the US. On the other hand, we do get such quality titles from Japan like Flying Dragon and Dual Heroes <--SARCASM. >The 64DD is still not coming out in America. > >Now I have a question for everybody.

(Hopefully the system is only 2 or 3 hundred $$) by the time the system comes out in 2000, or 2001, or 2002, or whatever, dvd players will already be cheaper than two or three hundred dollars. If i go the dvd route, i'll probably have alrteady gotten an actual dvd player for myself by then. It might be viewed as a convenience to have it built in, but then how many of you actually use your PSX to listen to CDs? > Second thing that is awesome is, think about 5.7 gigs....5 700 megs.

However, although DVDs might be the exception rather than the rule, so far everytime there has been an increase in media size, the general trend has been towards less dungeons, less play time, and more movies, recorded sound, and flashy media things that have little to do with actual gameplay. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Hold the flame til the dream ignites A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission - --Rush [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 22:28:59 -0800 (PST) From: Geoff Finger Subject: Re: [N64] RPGs (something you need a PlayStation to play) On Sun, 14 Mar 1999, D Fentie wrote: > I agree with you.

There are two ways to decode DVD movies, hardware and software. Usually hardware decoding is of better quality, but it requires an extra decoder card which costs <$100. However, recently some very high quality software decoders have been released, and considering what kind of processing power the N200X will have, it shouldn't be a problem to do software decoding, if in fact they are using DVD. >3.

Well, we're hoping that with the better graphics processing power of the N200X that prerendered CGI will go out of fashion in favor of realtime, but the storage space could be used for 2D graphics, music, voice, and possible slightly longer games. I don't think you'll see a game that is 50 times bigger than Zelda, though.

Its seems like Nintendo will probably go with DVD. As you said, it won't be a big problem to make it able to play DVDs. Even though it won't be as high quality as a stand alone DVD player, it will push many people to buy a system. Sony hasn't decided whether to support DVD movies it could be a big advantage for Nintendo if they do. And if Sony does support it, then Nintendo will have to too. > >>3.

Metal Gear Solid is a 2 CD game but it only takes 10-15 hours to win. I'm more concerned with the quality of the game rather than how long it takes to win. Even though the Playstation uses CDs it was held back by its processing power and couldn't really maximize the potential of a large storage medium. This doesn't seem like it will be a problem for either the PSX2 or N2000 and should allow developers to make some excellent games. > > >[ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] >[ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] > [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 16:34:27 -0700 From: Jim Wild Subject: Re: [N64] RPGs (something you need a PlayStation to play) another rush fan on the n64 list? who would have thought??? great song. > >-------------------------------------------------------------- >You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes >We add to each other, like a coral reef >Building bridges on the ocean floor >Reaching for the alien shore >--Rush jwild@oneimage.com http://www.oneimage.com/~jwild icq 10553118 [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:00:31 EST From: Bastion007@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] N200X Couldn't Nintendo make the disks bigger then 1.5 gigs to compete better with the PS2? ~Matt <> [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:02:25 EST From: Bastion007@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] RPGs (something you need a PlayStation to play) Why even bother with the PSX?

Maybe they have something up their sleeve beyond DVDs and disks. After all, they did say there were exploring many options. Maybe the N2000 will be a hard drive like system where you download the games off of an exclusive, Internet-like server, and store the games on writeable CDs for transport. That idea sounds really dumb, but the possibilities are not limited to DVDs and disks. ~Matt [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 18:30:41 -0600 From: D Fentie Subject: [N64] Kind of off topic Hey guys, I have the UltraHle emulator and I want to try out a Rom I already own physically (Zelda). I have everything except... the stupid glider drivers and voodoo 2 card. My question is that since I'm getting a new laptop in the next few months can you fit those 2 things into a laptop?! Please respond quick, this is worrying me.
