That point was seperate from the one made in the same sentence, sorry. Grammer, grammer, Jean. the GC/GBA thing is novel and new, but not mainstream as I said. But neither is online play.

Get this; me and three of my friend's spent upwards of three hours playing Conflict 2: Desort Storm. A four player co-op game for XBox. Graphics are Gen 1 PS2 worthy, but this is possibly the greatest four player co-op game in existance. And I don't say bold shit like that. Lots of people have an XB, every XB has four ports. So why isn't the idea of making four player games that would apply to EVERY XB owner done more..? Hmmm... Not everyone can enjoy XBox Live, so why invest so much for a minority..? Hmmm... The same could be said about the GC/GBA Connectivity and PS2's Harddrive. For some reason companies are satisfying a minority of gamers over ideas that may affect a majority in the future. They're wrong. As with my statement with the XB's four ports; if they really wanted 'everyone' to enjoy a certain gimmick, they'll make it out-the-box available for the majority; like four controller ports. In this oppinion, Nintendo has slapped us in the face.

Not only demanding we buy the already cool GBA (so that part isn't so bad), we have to shell out for cable as well. That's one hell of an investment for the same people who gave us humorously short controller cables to set up the Wavebird's coming (which in turn, turned out to be the best wireless controller; so why not package it in..?). I like Nintendo and I grew up with them, but they're current way of business is border line disrespect.

$100 to enjoy Final Fantasy 11. Nuff said.
