CASE CLOSEDEat that Mario. Gen, you have no fucking idea. Okay, video games were stolen from the arcade, then. Therefore, Atari is a whore as well. What does that have to do with anything? And yes, I know what XBLA is, a service that lets you download games onto your system. Wonder where they got THAT idea? Gen, your antics to go off topic and make everyone forget what they were talking about in the first place ARE NOT welcome right now.

Eh, there have been things like XBLA before. Y'know, Capcom Collection games, SEGA Collections and whatnot. Nintendo has made more consoles than anyone, and the point of the Virtual Console is to let you play classic games you probably sold. XBLA is one of those more simple things. One of those "You may be lazy or disorganized, so here's a bunch of games in one place"
Sorry Cutter, but this is one of the times I'm on Gen's side. With Microsoft.

XBLA isn't that, you lets you download 'MINI-GAMES' that Microsoft Games Studio had lying around. Not full-fledged games, plus, I am pretty sure the PC and iMac already had the idea of downloading games from the internet. And where did they get the idea of using disks, Cutter? How about FPS games, hm? How about that there On-Off switch? Or the technology for the fucking system? FACE IT. Nintendo is just a giant pathetic waste of time. It makes games that are nothing but remakes and attempts at reviving dead sereis. They come out with 'revolutionary' items like a remote for your system. Gee whiz, Batman! Sony and X-Box already did that four fucking years ago.

Oh. Sorry. Again, Ignorance, and this is news to me.
We get it Gen. Well...Cutter may not, but you've had enough examples.

Kyle, those are compilations of old games that you buy. That's a different thing altogether.
Tell me, Kyle, do you think that the X-box would have the XBLA if Nintendo hadn't announced the "Virtual Console" at E3 a while back?
As for you, Gen. You aren't even trying, if ever you were. Okay, so Nintendo "stole" the basics that make a console possible to play. Big whoop.
As for the latter of your statement, that's just baised on so many levels that I'm not going to bother with it.

Yah.. No point in throwing shit in that industrial fan. But Cutter is Australian, and is blinded by true American greatness.
Cutter, you are just getting pathetic at this point.

Gen, you haven't even directed answered:
"That 'Revolutionary' remote that X-Box 'stole' is the god damn DVD remote for the system. I have one, and its only purpose is for playing DVDs. In fact, the old X-Box had a remote and so did the PS2. Real revolutionary shit right there."
Baised.
"What? Cutter doesn't even know the god damn facts! This is some stupid IGN shit that has been totally blown out of perspective!"
Facts? They stole the controller design, and Microsoft stole the Virtual Console. Want a link?
"...why don't we accuse Nintendo of stealing the idea of video games from Atari?"
And that's when you went off topic.

Tell me, Kyle, do you think that the X-box would have the XBLA if Nintendo hadn't announced the "Virtual Console" at E3 a while back? Must I keep saying that I don't know that XBLA is! But, according to Gen, it's "mini games" of sorts, and that doesn't seem to have anything to do with Nintendo. And like I said before, It's called a "Virtual Console" The whole IDEA was to create something to play all consoles. That was the big thing. If someone stole THAT! Lemme quote again "Virtual Console: The whole IDEA was to create something to play all consoles" If somebody stole THAT, I dunno. Sega, maybe? They've got a lot of consoles and handhelds... Then, that would be bad. Microsoft as two consoles, and these are mini games. Irrelevant. Microsoft isn't retarded. They could come up with an idea on their own,in which I think they did.

Cutter, how is having the fucking product biased? They have a DVD remote, they have always had a fucking DVD remote! How the flaming fudge-nuck is that biased?! IT IS FACT!
Micrsoft didn't steal the virtual console. XBLA is nothing but fucking mini-games and demoes! How do you know if that shit wasn't already planned, hmm Cutter?
Stole the controller design? Show me a patent then. Show me Nintendo's effing patent that says "THIS CONTROLLER DESIGN IS OWN BY NINTENDO" Also, all systems have the same controller, so games can be transported between systems! Like Resident Evil, Sonic Heroes, etc.!
How is it going off topic, Cutter?

Kyle.
Virtual Console: An online catalogue of downloadable NES, SNES and N64 games.
XBLA: A service that lets you download games onto the system.
"Virtual Console: The whole IDEA was to create something to play all consoles"
That's not entirely true. It's just a catalogue of downloadable games. Not to play all consoles.
Gen. "They have a DVD remote, they have always had a fucking DVD remote!"
By that, I ment that you were saying it was a remote, when it was the controller. And it's not just a remote control, if you actually do a little research.
"How do you know if that shit wasn't already planned, hmm Cutter?"
To my knowledge, they had no plans for the XBLA before Nintendo announced the Virtual Console.
"Also, all systems have the same controller, so games can be transported between systems!"
...And that's relivent how?
"How is it going off topic, Cutter?"
You're talking about how Nintendo stole from Atari. Which, by the way, wasn't entirely true. They just made a home console, which wasn't Atari's idea in the first place. Using disks, well, at the time, who wasn't? FPS'? That was a genre.

Cutter, this is getting no where. You are too stubborn to see the freaking truth. You are so obsessed with that stupid game company and its so-called 'Revolutionary ideas'. Oh, reall witty with the whole 'revolutionary ideas' bit. Face it, The NR isn't using anything new. PCs have been allowing you to download games before the freaking N64 was made. Sony and Microsoft have had remotes for their systems that let you control the systems without the game controller, but not the games themselves. Plus, who the fuck is going to want to play on a remote with add-ons, when you can just do it with a god damn regular controller? The Rev remote is nothing special, and nothing new. It is just a way for them to get more money out of selling controllers. In case you didn't know, the controller business isn't that amazing. You sell the controllers, end of story. With the add-ons, that means more money. And you call Microsoft greedy...

Again, that was pretty baised and had some truely irrelivent content in it...Especially since the controller add-ons will be scarce, and the nunchukas one will be used the most...
But, I have to admit, this rant was pretty baised. After all, that is how the industry works. When a good idea comes out, the competition isn't just going to stand around and ignore the new ideas! Look at China's history. They got screwed over.
Of course the other consoles would copy good ideas that came out. Nintendo is guilty of copying as well.

Instead of talking about the big companies. I say we stay with the little guys who do the jobs for these assholes. Go Bungie, id Software, Capcom!

Not Capcom. They haven't made an original game is sooo long...
And don't say Phoenix Wright. Ace Attorney was a port of the GBA version that came out in Japan a while ago.
