Dunno 'bout you guys, but what seperates nintendo from Micro$oft and Sony is that Nintendo have always been about creating a fun environment. Most of the games are cartoony (to such an extent that I think Nintendo may encounter trouble later on) so if this new controller makes playing Monkey Ball more fun or crazy, then I'm up for it.

I'd have to agree there, myrk.

As for the cartoony style of a lot of game, I've only seen a couple non-Nintendo titles that do that, so I think it's more of a style thing. But, I don't know what would be considered "cartoony". I don't consider the Mario and Donkey Kong styles as such.

But, I just got around to finally playing Crystal Chronicles, since I bought it quite awhile ago, very pleasantly surprised. It's pretty fun, it's like a 3d-incarnation of Secret of Mana, almost. It has a pretty cartoony look, but some other Square-Enix stuff is looking like that now anyway, but it looks good. It has some really fun aspects that are just great for multi-player gaming (loading up your character with friends and all going out on an adventure together, for example)

The only downside is that to use MP mode, you need a GBA for each player with a link cable. Which doesn't bother me much, I just need to get a link cable.

Also, I know they're making another addition to this FF series on Revolution, and it seems almost implicit, based on the attack system. But then again, the entire thing that makes the game rather challenging is timing your attacks and aiming. So, I guess I'll have to wait and see.

But, it's obvious that Nintendo is trying to make gaming fun and better for the consumer, the fact that their consoles are costing less shows that to an extent. They don't pack in stuff that you'll never use (How much would the PS2 have been if it didn't come with a fire-wire port? Only a couple games use it anyway. I suppose, once you make the thing into a functioning computer you can use it for your digital camera ...)
I just wish the GC add ons were easier to find ... like the infamous dreamcast broadband ethernet card. But, finding a component cable for GC isn't that easy unless you want to import online, or something as such.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
