I have some rather distressing news about the future of Nintnedo GameCube...

My cousin told me that Nintendo GameCube will be the VERY LAST system to be made by Nintendo...

Simply stated: Nintendo will not make any more systems after the GameCube... This means that Nintendo will eventually have the same fate as Sega! Sega has decided to quit the DreamCast and make games for other companies; Nintendo may suffer the same fate in the years to come...

Now we don't have to cry just yet, my cousin told me that this is not likely to happen for another 4 to 5 years... So we have plenty of time to enjoy the great games Nintendo has to offer!

Mama mia! It''s-a me, Mario Maniac!

Oh dear. Nintendo has always made excellent systems, with breathtaking Mario titles. What will become of TMK? We will have a first...and last Mario game! Then maybe, we can just rate classic games. Ah well, I'm sure GBA and NGC will keep us occupied for a long time too come...

Give me a website with this information and I might believe it (probably not though).

Your cousin has some weird friends, Mario Maniac... I really doubt Nintendo will stop making consoles and games.

But if by some chance I have to break my loyalty to Nintendo one day, I guess these are the games I'd get from other systems, in alphabetical order (you may wish to beat me senseless afterwards):

Bomberman Online (DC)
Heard about it just now. The thought of it makes me eager to get it.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (Dreamcast)
everybody says the control sucked, but I'd like to try it.

F-Zero X, 64DD version from Japan
I'd like to try the track editor!

Gran Turismo 1, 2, or 3 (PS, PS2)
I like racing games, so there.

Halo (X-Box)
I ADMIT IT! Everybody says it's so great anyway.

Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland (PS2)
There are some series you just can't pass up.

Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2)
Got to try it someday, right?

Return to Castle Wolfenstein (PC)
I figure you can't go wrong with Wolfenstein.

Any game for Sega Genesis or Dreamcast (Genesis, DC)
I have always considered Sega a rival, until now. I think it's about time I see what they had to hold their own back then.

Unreal (PC)
Self-explanatory, I would think.

Ok, now you may throw stuff at me, please nothing made of metal or leftover anything.

I doubt this is Nintendo's last system. Why would they stop making new systems? Where did your cousin get this info?

Actually, I think it's true. But never fear. I hear they're making graphic enhancers, and the GBA will probably get a chip that'll make it 64-bit. But who knows?

Well Nintendo will stop sooner or later, but not soon i think. If it is, on this board will nbe some nasty words.

Hello kids!
Only you can prevent false rumors!

[Think people...why would Nintendo announce their console retirement scant days after their Gamecube debut? To encourage people to by Nintendo's "last" system? I don't think so. Maybe your cousin will tell you how to get Luigi on Mario 64...]

Its not true.

Sonic · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2001, 11:58:09 AM »

I herd that rumour long before CG was released. It may coime true if nintendo makes Gamecube into N64 2,

As for PenguinWizard, whats stopping you from playing thos games? Just because you like nintendo doesn't mean you have to be there slave. This goes for ALL fanboys don't stay loyal to any video game company were all you are to them is another sales figure.

goodie · « **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2001, 07:27:44 PM »

I don't believe the rumor one bit. Why would Nintendo be so stupid to stop making systems after the GameCube. The GameCube is so great and popular that Nintendo's making lots of money off it. Why would they ever want to stop? They wouldn't.

penguinwizard · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2001, 09:10:57 PM »

There is one other thing preventing me from getting ahold of those other consoles, Sonic... $$$, I can't buy every console there is, I only have enough to get one to be happy with for however long it lives on.

But now that Dreamcast has lowered itself to $50, well... I'm thinking that one over.

Marionut#1 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2001, 10:42:50 PM »

Well ifin the rumor IS true I HOPE TO GOD NINTENDO DOESNT MAKE GAMES FOR SONY or any other company for that matter! I would absolutely writhe at the fact. And ifin its not true......THEN THE RUMOR SUCKS!!

xXPCMXx · « **Reply #20 on:** November 25, 2001, 06:42:22 PM »

GameCube is not going to be Nintendo's last system. The President of Nintendo has said before that if the GameCube didnt do so well at E3 they thought about completely revamping the system and trying again in another year. He said he was amazed with all of the support shown towards the system - The way Nintendo is pulling in developers now this being the last system is very VERY unlikely.

Seriously, after being such a successful company for over 100 years, you honestly believe that Nintendo would just quit? Think rationally... how could you possibly believe that. The N64 didn't do so well in Japan, but I heard that here in the US, it did very well til the DC came out. After the GCN, Nintendo will come out with even better systems (although I find it pretty hard to believe that there could be a better system... I love this thing!), because there is always room to improve, and technology only gets better.

Now I never said that they (Nintendo)would stop Game Boy! And I never said that they'd not make any more games... Sega is now making games for other companies and they're doing just fine! So if Nintendo does eventually make games for *gasp* Sony and *oh no* Microsoft, then you know what to expect... more great Nintendo games!

Now I'm pretty sure that my cousin was joking, because he just told me that he got the information off of some Nintendo website...

As for Game Boy, Nintendo should not give up their hopes on that little thing (lke Sega did with the Game Gear...)! Game Boy has been around for over 11 years, and there are so many things you could do with that thing (online gaming!)...

Why would anyone even consider buying an Xbox anyway? After what you guys said about it, it appears that Microsoft have (once again) created something that would doom the video game market!

I MISS SEGA! I WISH THEY'D TEAM UP WITH NINTNEDO OR SOMETHING!

Sega DreamCast and Nintendo GameCube are the best! Screw you Microsoft and Sony! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Well Sega is a game for the GBA. Still, this rumor, well, it stupid. If Nintendo did go out, they would be making a lot of games. New titles and lots of supplies for the other games that are out. So far, they are not doing that.

(I've only had a Genesis, this also might be true for Saturn and Dreamcast), but I just loved how when you turned it on, it goes, "Se-ga!" I especially loved it with Sonic the Hedgehog, "Se-ga! Do do do do do do, do do do do do do, do do do do, do do" I think it also worked for game gear.

I think I'm completely off topic here....
