Re: Feature: Nintendo’s Biggest Blunders

Nintendo relies upon its own franchises to survive, and boy does it have many of them. They also reference their older games to have its games appeal to all generations. Third parties found Sega, Sony, and Microsoft more attractive because of this.

The SGB borders would be tight, provided they can provide the LADX border without removing the color.

Also, they should have all the Game Boy Color games use a GBC border (except for LADX). The border should be customizable (change the color, etc).

Re: Talking Point: 3DS Depends on Nintendo Titles for Success

Sony originally had Crash and Spyro, but after awhile those ended up on other consoles. Kingdom Hearts is almost exclusively Sony, but CoM is on GBA also. They do still have the revolutionary and phenomenally popular (despite being ever disappointing) Gran Turismo series.

Microsoft has the Forza series and for awhile the PGR series. They now own exclusive rights to Conker and Banjo-Kazooie, among other Rare-exclusive titles.

Regardles, Nintendo has more successful and exclusive franchises than Sony, Microsoft, and Sega combined. And look at Ninty. They have more success than the award-winning, superphotorealistic games hyped up by the media.
