Honestly, I'm still asking myself what's so good about it....I found a few
things that could've used some improvement before it was realeased.  It seems
to have potential to me, but there's a REAL lack of games for it now and
the PSX have been asking myself this question, "Sure they'll have a HELL of a
lotta games by Christmas, but will they deliver?"  If you make good games,
ou
have no problem selling it....it's that simple....

things they could've improved on in Mario 64?  One main thing is that if they

Jeff
    When I re-read my message it seemed that I did show extreme hatred
towards Nintendo 64, but I don't hate the company for that. It just seems to
me that ever since the beginning of this Ultra 64 crusade, it was just this
e
glammer bug waiting to been shown off as this supreme god of systems. Then we
found out that it was just a lie, and Nintendo had to finally put something
together for the publi eye.
    Then down the road it came out, but stated that only "unlimited" copies
could be sold, and that no more would be sold for quite a while. So Nintendo
pressured the public into buying fast, but the system was that "under stocked
as they proclaimed" said my sources from EB, and Babbages.
    To make a long story short, I don't hate Nintendo, but just lost a bunch
of respect for them, and their dealings now. But yes I do not like the N64
for a couple reasons, and I wouldn't say so if I didn't. Maybe if Nintendo
was honest since the beginning, I would think differently today. . .

couple of moves for the game. So I'm putting together a FAQ sheet for myself,
so I wouldn't have to remember them all. But I'm missing some moves, and I
as
wondering if anyone would be able to help me fill them in. Here is a list of
the few moves I'm missing:
    Scorpion's Pit
    Reptile's Pit
    Jade's animality, babality, and pit
    Mileena's animality, babality, and pit too
    Baraka's blade spin, and fatalities
    And Scorpion's new fatality.

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion. And besides those "reviews" are

Write your reply.

assistant: I think that it will survive.  Cuase A) no loading time B) Better graphics
than the PSX or Saturn C) it just came out and hasen't gotten very many
games yet D) the SNES started just like it.  the games for it sucked but
as time went on they tripled maybe even quadrupled the graphics and
gameplay.  I think this will do the same.  I am super impressed with the N64
and love mine.  I am happy i bought it.  I hate CD based systems cause
A) load time B) they break easier, just ask Jeff Battle about the breaking
thing.  I will probally get a PSX cause it has Tekken 2, Soul Edge, and
Resident Evil but thats the only reason.
Oh yeah and the Neo-Geo is a big let down in it's own leauge.
