You know what? I'm right with you on that.

While it's true they're "big" releases, exactly how long do Nintendo think they can hold onto the market lead for? I would think that they want to hit the console hard with as many great N64 games as they can. I mean, enough people on this board have been drooling over the prospect of Goldeneye, for example, that it's bound to sell a few consoles if a new generation get their hands on the Dam level...?

I hate to say it, but I imagine the current generation probably aren't overly impressed by 2D graphics. While SNES, MD, NES, TG16 will appeal to people like us, the VC faithful, I would suspect they might not be a big selling point to some of the kids who've been spoiled by a diet of Playstation-level 3D for their gaming lives. Sure, they'll enjoy playing Bomberman on their mate's system, but it's not gonna make them go out and spend their paper-round money on a Wii....

Just my two-pence worth.
