assistant: What i meant was the 64DD.... its not a new system, but it will be as good

2nd generation if you do something never been attempted before
cause it will be out 1year+ earlier than psx2, and if they havent bought an

US not 120 (about 85 Canadian) then you can play it... Zelda will be a HUGE
game and you will not need another version for quite a long time... then you
can get the DD for $79 dollars... which is a bigger investment than for just
playing zelda... you get the extra memory, larger spaces for games, cheaper

64, Mario Kart 64, Turok, Crusin USA, Starfox 64, Wave race 64 and 4 more
which I forgot!  Anyways, anyone who is planning to buy one of the old n64,
it a good time to do this.  Goldeneye will be a player's choice one day!  All
these games are player's choice because I believe Nintendo sold over a
million copies for each of the 10 games!

assistant: There 2D. I've duplicated the Tecqnique. Ask any one that has created custum
monsters from scratch. THe trick is that they make multiple imiges of the
creature and when you rotate the imige changes accordingly. The older games
like Doom and Wolf3d had one for each side. THe newer stuff uses MANY more
imiges to provide a 3D effect. It takes up considerably less room than Having
the computer remember the exact position of thousands of polygons and how
each one rects too eachother. As for the paper cut out bit. I'll agree some
times while dancing around you will see holes and such but then I have yet to
see a game provide perfect polygons.

How many other games do you know of that model the clothing seperately from
the people who are wearing them?
  But I'm saddened to say that there WON'T be a Saturn version of VF3.  Quite
simply, that game needs more hardware than the Saturn can provide, and it's
doubtful that people would be willing to buy an add-on 3D card just to run
one game.  With the Katana so close, it would be a bit of a waste!
  Speaking of which, VF3 WILL show up on the new system, which is supposed to

assistant: udience,
I don't think so, with Nintendo's choice of going for cartridges (their
biggest
mistake as we all know it).. All or almost all of the 3rd party developpers
have left them, and they won't go back with them, not even with the 64DD.. A
CD
is still bigger, the PSX still has the FMV capabilities, and the 64DD won't
add
it.. the 64DD still doesn't have CD Audio quality, and won't play anything
else
then midis once again.. (on like a 16-bit sound card or similar)..
Anyways, the thing is, that all the good 3rd party companies has left the big
N
for maybe always, or till N starts to realize that CDs and DVDs are the way
o
go.. Right now, they have what? Midway.. Rare... uh... T*HQ that are working
with them? And well, T*HQ isn't that good of a "company" yet.. so all the
games
that are available for the N64 aren't that good...
All the good companies like: Capcom - Contra, Street Fighter, etc..  Square -
RPGs, Fighting Games,   Namco - Racing Games, Fighting Games, Adventrues..
