Damnit, just got ripped off - bought a new GTX560, should have held out a bit longer for an N64 Ultra :( Maybe I'll get one when the price comes down a bit.
@foxsux6000 Explain to me how the Wii is two generations behind the 360 and PS3, when it slightly outperforms every console from LAST generation. Can you not count? From a control standpoint, Nintendo has always been ahead of everyone, aside from the Gamecube controller which was pretty lame IMO. Wii U will be the best console ever. Microsony will come out with the same old versions of their clunky, outdated dual analog stix while Nintendo offers that, as well as the tablet & remote.
@pearlmax the wii is exactly the same hardware as the gamecube, most games even are PS2/xbox1 ports and are limited to 3.8GB in size (which is less than both the xbox/PS2)
the Wii U is also a slightly better than an xbox360, but it won't matter once the xbox720/PS4 is out because it will look as lame as the wii does now.
and that tablet thing is unusable without the Wii U, you can do the same on the PS3/PS4 with a PSP vita and you aren't forced into owning a useless piece of crap.
@foxsux6000 first of no, wii doesn't have the same hardware (but close to). And you cant know how much better the WiiU is compared to current consoles (as of yet there is no hardware released and the videos released were from a prototype).
And the main problem with the wii was lack of good third party coverage, not the console it self (only by the extend for ease of porting). So don't judge by prototypes and guesses, only by facts. (And PS4 is still officially planned for 2015)
@relo999 the console itself was the reason why 3rd party didn't bother, it had fixed-function hardware and xbox360/ps3 games couldn't run on it (porting from the PS3/xbox360 to the wii hasn't ever been done...)
Correct, that PARTIALLY true (as some developers did make wii games). Its main drawback was that it focused on a whole different market then the ps3 and 360 does.
And also as a designer I always thought that porting is just a cheap way to make more money, but thats just my personal opinion.
@pearlmax the wii U like the current wii will be in a cupboard unused and covered in dust, because there are just not going to be the quality of first party titles Sony has.
Sony doesn't have first party games... (As Sony doesn't have a game development department they cant make first party games. Only second party games (still Sony focused, but not part off Sony)) So you say having a WiiU is worse than having nothing. And for you also the same tale I told to Foxsux6000.
@relo999 haha google: Sony Computer Entertainment...
Uncharted, God Of War are all not first party games (ROFL)
all the demo's Nintendo showed of the wii U in their video was footage ripped from the PS3/Xbox360 because they said it will look exactly like them (go google that also)
@relo999 the wii U will cost over $399 the PS3/xbox360 will drop to $179 and they perform equally and will have all the same games (nobody cares about Mario/Zelda crap outside of Nintendo trolls)
psx had worse graphics and won, ps2 had the worse graphics again and outsold the others, wii graphics are last gen and outsold the most powerful machines, not even mention that people dont even know what a graphic card is, this only means that graphics are the manifestation of autism.
when you mention it, the consoles with best graphics often fail for some reason. dreamcast, PS3, PSP, N64. they were superior to their competitors, but still sold less
@Echoesoftimelover In what way, they only thing Sony is dominating right now is the toilet. The only thing the PS3 has going for it is the Blu Ray player, and even that will become obsolete soon. 10 years from now we'll all be laughing at Blu Ray because digital downloads are the future.
@fergieboy10 doesnt need it, it(3ds) uses pixel and vertex shaders. N64 did have bi and tri linear filtering,antomorphic shading, anti aliisation,pcs at the time didnt even have that. z buffering with correction,damn,the list goes on all with infinit (unrestricted) sound chanels
@Cyberpunk747 they became irrelevant when regular PCs and graphics chips appeared in the late 90s. I believe Nvidia uses a lot of technology derived from sgi though.
When unveiled to the public on November 24, 1995, the console was introduced as the Nintendo Ultra 64 at the 7th Annual Shoshinkai Software Exhibition in Japan.
mastergohan: The memory in the N64 had a 8-bit databus running in 500Mhz, wich means about 500MB/s and NOT 100MB/s, if it had a 16-bit bus in 500Mhz it could transfer about 1Gb/s, its you who has wrong here!
You know WHY it ended up second? Because Nintendo went with a format that cost way more than a CD, had licensing restrictions from Nintendo, and had limited capacity. Had they gone with CD's, it would have won hands-down.
Why is this old? Two reasons: The vaseline stained swinger-tit camera lens, the technically confused Ceo with hair like a Nascar driver, selling the game tech himself due to complete lack of marketing department. Damn I actually thought this was a new Nintendo console codenamed Ultra 64 for a reason Other than a 17 years worth of "don't do it like this, folks" reminder. Lol... Fail....Fossillized !
The N64's GPU could have pushed nearly 500,000 polygons/second, this was called the Turbo3D microcode whereas the Fast3D microcode could only push 100,000 to 120,000 polygons/second. The reason Turbo3D was never used due to graphical degradation, so Nintendo never allowed it to be use. World Driver Championship pushed the limits and rivaled polygon counts of PSX games, with MP3 audio and 640x480 without an expansion pack.
@SpEsHaLLLL PSX graphics sucked, always trembling... no filteriing... great console and games... but it's graphics... omg they were awful (not the 2d ones, just 3d)
@gothcraft I wouldn't agree with that. PSX could still render more polys than N64, while the latter could render in higher res (with memory pack) and filter textures. Still, it was all about knowing your hardware. Square could produce some amazing 3d graphics on psx with Vagrant Story and Chrono Cross and so did Rare on N64 with Banjo and Conker games. These guys simply knew the hardware's pros and cons and used them effectively making the games shine.
@SpEsHaLLLL Well back then the texture streaming really was only possible on a cartridge, these days with have enough graphics RAM to stream textures from that.
@SpEsHaLLLL Cartridges did though. Have you tried playing a CD based game from the mid-90's lately? As likely as not, it was scratched beyond all recognition. Cartridges though, they LAST.
@SpEsHaLLLL Well, back then, comparing to the cdrom speed they had at the time and taking in to note they didn't have a hdd in their consoles, it kinda was true.
@RedYoshiReturns Those kids don't know history. They grew up with games like crysis pretty much.. so they don't know what gaming in the early 90's was like (fun)
Because these people are morons, and think the graphics on their current systems are as good as they are ever going to get. 20 years from now, people will think those graphics look like crap.
I wonder what kind of games could exist, if they made the N64 read CDs instead cartridiges... The games that they already made could be very differents (if they could exist). Maybe better, maybe worse. But I'm glad they wanted use cartdriges. They're resistant.
No, it doesn't. There is pc hardware 10 times more powerful than the Nintendo 64 that still won't run the game. A single character contains more polygons than the system could push in a scene with anything else smoothly.
I got a Nintendo 64 when it was released and after 3-4 years I only played like less than 10 games. The N64 was such a piece of shit ...
I never wanted to jump ship cus I was a Nintendo fanboy but the N64 game library was mediocre at best and the PS1 had so much more to offer that no wonder the Sony Playstation brand became so popular a the time. With games like Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy I mean, Nintendo couldn't compete with all that with just Mario and Zelda.
They tried and failed with the GameCube too. Us Wii fans can bitch and whine about graphics all day long but I'd rather see Nintendo as they are now rather then not have them at all.
Failed? How so? The Gamecube was more powerful then the PS2 and just under the Xbox. The only thing it lacked was multimedia capabilities but I fail to see how that has anything to do with gaming.
Yeah, I know. But I wasn't talking about sales. I was talking about it's power and how Nintendo made it so it's software could compete evenly against Sony and Microsoft.
With the Wii, Nintendo completely abandoned the idea of using technology to compete...which was my original point.
@Nintariz Nintendo got out of the horsepower/graphics race because they're pockets aren't as deep as sony and microsofts, they new they weren't going to win that way. They tried the big power and graphics thing in the past with gamecube and 64 and forgot about what was important. Like innovation, gameplay, games that everyone could play. Most people buy video game systems for the fun gameplay, not fancy graphics, blu ray players and all that bullshit.
Yeah, it looks like that might be true. I just wish they brought that same sort of approach to home consoles again. Not that I haven't had fun with the Wii but I'm apart of the of the NES generation. I think Nintendo was better back then.
the only thing that doesn't make sense is what they say about the speed of CD-ROM being a burden to the graphics... i mean gpu and CD-Rom units are separated matters, i see no excuse... there's even the better graphics CD-ROM based dreamcast... i don't get his point o.o
@Nachotronix Because back then, CD games had really horrible load times. They're just trying to say that their "good graphic" don't have load times since they're readily accessed via roms on the cartridge, where CD games have to stop to load the models, textures, and sounds off the CD and into memory. Cartridge vs CD used to be a huge debate.

I got a Nintendo 64 when it was released and after 3-4 years I only played like less than 10 games. The N64 was such a piece of shit ...
I never wanted to jump ship cus I was a Nintendo fanboy but the N64 game library was mediocre at best and the PS1 had so much more to offer that no wonder the Sony Playstation brand became so popular a the time. With games like Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy I mean, Nintendo couldn't compete with all that with just Mario and Zelda.

@Wiimaniac damn you missed out on some bad ass games for the N64, like Conkers bad fur day, Turok 1 , 2, 3, Banjo and Tooie,, Bomberman 64,

They tried and failed with the GameCube too. Us Wii fans can bitch and whine about graphics all day long but I'd rather see Nintendo as they are now rather then not have them at all.

@Snesboy09
Failed? How so? The Gamecube was more powerful then the PS2 and just under the Xbox. The only thing it lacked was multimedia capabilities but I fail to see how that has anything to do with gaming.

@Nintariz
Even though GameCube was profitable, it still got it's ass handed to it by PS2.
Snesboy09 1 year ago
@Snesboy09
Yeah, I know. But I wasn't talking about sales. I was talking about it's power and how Nintendo made it so it's software could compete evenly against Sony and Microsoft.
With the Wii, Nintendo completely abandoned the idea of using technology to compete...which was my original point.
Nintariz 1 year ago
@Nintariz Nintendo got out of the horsepower/graphics race because they're pockets aren't as deep as sony and microsofts, they new they weren't going to win that way. They tried the big power and graphics thing in the past with gamecube and 64 and forgot about what was important. Like innovation, gameplay, games that everyone could play. Most people buy video game systems for the fun gameplay, not fancy graphics, blu ray players and all that bullshit.

@Nintariz look at the 3ds, nintendo might be doing it again.

@tgamerlegend
Yeah, it looks like that might be true. I just wish they brought that same sort of approach to home consoles again. Not that I haven't had fun with the Wii but I'm apart of the of the NES generation. I think Nintendo was better back then.

N64 killed it's cartridge. If they go into CD ROM technology as other systems it all might have ended different.

the only thing that doesn't make sense is what they say about the speed of CD-ROM being a burden to the graphics... i mean gpu and CD-Rom units are separated matters, i see no excuse... there's even the better graphics CD-ROM based dreamcast... i don't get his point o.o
Nachotronix 1 year ago
@Nachotronix Because back then, CD games had really horrible load times. They're just trying to say that their "good graphic" don't have load times since they're readily accessed via roms on the cartridge, where CD games have to stop to load the models, textures, and sounds off the CD and into memory. Cartridge vs CD used to be a huge debate.

It depends on the developer and games.If your using the PS1 as an example.

@SgtThom the longest loading time for a ps1 game would be around 3 min for a bootleg/scratched up game
