Just to stick my nose in, need i remind you that nintendo didnt want to go to disc's period, but at one point they did have plans for a disc attachment to the Super NES if I can find the guide that had the picture I'll show it, reason why they didnt do the attachment for the Super NES was that discs were slow back then, but they had to do this to the gamecube, the gamecube is basically a cover to the next gen console there making. Disc's are slower than cartridges. Tell you this though if microsoft quits buying game developing companies gamecube would have had a major first person shooter hit. Perfect dark, it was gonna be big until microsoft got there greedy paws on rareware and bought them. Now rareware has given perfect dark cell shaded graphics for the soon to be xbox version of perfect dark and it looks like shit. I've seen previews for the one on gamecube, and the graphics were awesome, no cellshading, huge levels, better AI, more weapons and more co-op missions. This is the reason why microsoft bought rareware, so that the perfect dark game for gamecube would never come out, and be a major hit as it was on the N64. Disc's are getting ancient and should be left to computers. And the slowness of xbox and ps2 for loading games is rediculous, I played nightfire for the ps2 and holy hell it took foreva to load. The one on gamecube only takes like 5 secs, ps2 takes like 10 to 20 secs. Like 10 to 20secs im aging here, I dun wanna wait that bloody long for a game to load. Take super smash bro melee, that takes like no time to load period, you select your chars, your at ur stage selection screen, and maybe 1sec of loading the battle. NFSU for the ps2, takes foreva like 30secs to load a friggin a level, I've aged like 5 years :beard: once it done loading
. Nintendo will goto cartridges again advantages and disadvantages of cartridge though.
Advantages: Faster like milliseconds to load a level, cleaner game play, like no lag at all, and with a cartridge you can get more data stored than a disc.
Disadvantages: Ages, but takes foreva to die. I still got NES games that still work lol and there like 18 years old lol.
Advantages of a disc uh um.... dun kno.
Disadvantages of a disc, get scratched to hell and wont work anymore, easy to loose, the highest compression i've seen on a disc is 4gb's, A cartridge um 6gb's.
And a cartridge is like a harddrive basically lol.
Nintendo likes to stay family based games, Microsoft blow em up games, that mainly for 16 and over. Playstation very little family games and lots of blow em up games. Nintendo will not go out of business as they have been in this longer than Playstation and Microsoft. Nintendo will always come out with better games, Nintendo alos likes to make sure there systems last longer, compared to the xbox which keeps freezing, and the ps2 which just lags and lags then gets slower lag and then freeze's and dies. Nintendo also likes to make sure there games have no bugs. I can't go on, I said enough to conclude what i had to say.
