than the next message you right is the same crap!  I am not saying this
cus i love nintendo or nothing, but you are allowed to have your
opinion.  Just the thing that probably gets on everyone's nerves are
you are not giving ONE good reason why N64 does suck.  So go suck

  Just did. Got into one of those shows, and actually got into a real

  I'm usually playing with 6-8 people. I had one where I got challenged
  by one person, so we both went in by ourselves. I lost that one :(
  Oh is it ever! I survive three head-on collisions before I got
  destroyed.
  Just that. I don't pay much attention to anything but the game.
  No. You're pretty much stuck in that mech for the duration.
  Yeah, that's the one.
  Lern wat? I never lerned nuthin like that! :)

Write your reply.

assistant: You still don't know what the heck you are talking about.  The cartridges can
only hold 8-12 Megabytes.  A CD can hold 650 Megabytes.   The advantage for a

 And it is a LOT more expensive to manufacture.  It costs like $30 compared
to around $10 for a CD.

assistant: ______________
  But in order to hold as much, a $30 CD filled would cost $150 on a
  cart. You see, it costs more to put more mem into a cart when, on a
  CD, you just write it in. All you pay for is the initial CD cost
  ($20). Don't believe me, look at Neo-Geo. They use 300 mega carts, and
  their prices range from $99-$199. That's why they use a CD now, so the
  games can be sold around $50-70. See?

Write your reply.

assistant: actually carts cost $33 to make, and since nintendo makes them, they can
 require minimum orders (which they do). the big N's minimum order is
 100,000, which means to produce a game alone costs $3,300,000... this
 cost scares off a lot of 3rd parties that want to try making N64 games.
