Write your reply.

assistant: Wow
You seem to be lacking nowledge... go take a mag on video games, you'll see
your self that what you say are suppositions, not facts.
You tell me here that there is a bunch of people coming back to the N64.. You
don't even name me 1!  PSX doesn't only have FMV, it has CD quality music,
I've
heard the music on the N64, and well, it sux.
Writable disk space.. you are saying this as if the 64DD was already out!!!
Geez for one thing, the 64DD is due out in Japan for 1998 (June/July).. While
for it's american release?? Don't ask... It's SUPPOSED to come out in 1999
now!
(latest news -> EGM March Issue (EGM being a Nintendo Sympathizer)). When I
say
it's SUPPOSED to come out, I don't mean it as -> It might be delayed. I mean
it
as in -> IT MIGHT NEVER SHOW IT'S FACE IN AMERICA (Facts taken from EGM March
issue).
Faster Processor.. well, I couldn't care about that really, I can wait 5
seconds so that the game loads... And don't tell me that sux.. Cause if you
are
replying to me, it means you have a PC, if you have a PC then for SURE you
know
that ALL the games load (take Hexen II, Worms2, Jedi Knights etc...) but do
you
ever heard people complain that the PC loads? NO, but why complain on the
PSX??
eft
ood
for
Capcom!?! Yeah right, name me 1 titles being made by the,... Rare, EA,
idway?
Those are the ONLY companies making games for the N64... What about: Eidos,
Ascii, Capcom!, SquareSoft, NaughtyDog, Ubi Soft, and much much more??
