which is the best company..., in the videogame industry? Options

[*kryogenix*]

For me it would have to be Nintendo. Nintendo is a 115 year old company now and they've been manufacturing greatness since the 80's. All of the consoles and handhelds they have released to date have been successes, with the exception being the virtual boy, as it was just something to keep the public entertained until Nintendo 64 came out. Not just hardware, software too. Nintendo games have been arguably some the best games of all time.

In my opinion, Sega comes in a close second. If they hadn't made some business blunders, Sega would still be around now, probably ahead of Sony.

The only reason the playstation franchise was formed was because of a grudge against Nintendo. When Nintendo cancelled the Sony cd drive for the SNES in favor of the Phillips CD-I for SNES, Sony got pissed off and made the PlayStation.

Microsoft sucks.

The earlier companines were good but they had one flaw: They all went out of business because they were too fixed on bringing arcade games to the home rather than develop new and innovative games.

Unlike the past, it costs millions of dollars to develop a hit videogame, that's why we're not seeing as much competition as there was in the earlier years.

Anyone who doesn't think Nintendo is the best is crazy. Had Nintendo not stayed "in the game" and made video games as popular as it did, none of these systems would be out right now. Know your roots because Nintendo is the root of POP CULTURE video gaming. Atari and Activision and Coleco were out first but were barely blips on the radar. NES spear-headed the movement and time and time again have proved that great graphics DON'T make the game. NINTENDO 4 LIFE!!!

Dude! First would be Nintendo cuz they brought life to the video gaming world if it wasnt for Mario then theres no meaning for old school No meaning for smash bros.

Second would be Konami becuase they make kick ass games like gradius, silent hill all that sh*t and they have that dancing crap i use to play.

third is Capcom for all the Megaman Games that brought happines to my life same with Street fighter.

and Team Ninja For hehe THE DOA SERIES!!!!!

And Last but not the least the great Bungie for the greatness of Halo Halo.

First place goes to SQUARESOFT. Or SQUARENIX Which ever you prefer. They are the biggest rpg selling company in the WORLD. So far, Their final fantasy series has yet to fail. They also made Kingdom hearts, and are still developing numbah two! That will be great.

Square currently makes the BEST FMV's for games.

Ever. In my opinion, they will not seize to amaze.

haha yes the old days.
When everything you could get for around 30 bucks. Awesome. Well, I'd have to say Sega. They sold a record breaking amount of dreamcasts. IF they'd waited a little while longer, say 2 or 3 years, they would've beat sony. Dreamcast was the first to also introduce online play with consoles. They also had the first 16 bit console ( i dunno if thats true i just made that up ). They still live on with their great sonic games and shows.

Third: Half life. Yes. You heard me. Half life. This title beats every first person shooter ever made. Half life takes home many awards: most mods for one game, first first person shooter game to be modded into a racing game, most played game (next to everquest), game of the year (1999), and COOLEST TITLE!!


Fourth: One word. HALO.



In your response, Kryogenix. Nintendo is too old to be alive. They should die.

So..you're saying Microsoft is the best company...#%*@ that!

I'm definitely a Nintendo-fan. I have all the systems that the company has ever come out with, popular or not.

What about Super Smash Brothers Melee? Kickass game that's definitely still around. Not as good as Halo, but it's still a great game.

I also bought that GC since I tend to buy a lot of imported games...and I hate my PS2 <-- way too much "loading"

[moomoognu]

Wow...all of you people saying Sony and Microsoft, I have a question. Have any of you actually played SNES or NES or anything outside of the next generation systems? There's a lot more out there, and about 90% of the old games are better than the next generation games out there now.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

yeah i have, i have an Snes and i have roms and emualtors for nes and stuff. I will admit its my guilty pleasure playing old school mario...

I think my favorite game was Secret of Mana....That was so awesome...! so fun i maxed out everything then i beat the game then i did it again...

.edit//sry fer double post.

can anyone tell me why virtual boy failed?

Not good advertisement i think...not many people liked the idea of a red game...

So..you're saying Microsoft is the best company...#%*@ that!

Hey they the ones brought you windows and computers =/ the xbox will squash GC and GB and GBA and GBA SP and any other G in the world.

I think you are stuck in the past dude.


.edit//look at this

It's not fake you Americans. It's real, I even have one in my house right now at this moment. I'm staring at it right now.

With PSX you can download photos from the internet or from the memory stick of your digital camera.
You can play any kind of cd.
Built in HDD and it has all the connections so it's just plug and play.
Plug in directly to your computer.
Two a/v outputs.
There are two versions. A 5000 and a 7000. The only difference is the mb. The 7000 has 250 mb. I forgot what the 5000 has because I don't own it.
Built in infrared for the dvd remote, just like on the Playstation 2 Scph-50001.
It has a tv guide in it for some reason. Since mine is the Japanese version, it shows Japanese television show. I don't know how the American version is gonna be like but be prepared to pay big bucks.
And the PSX Console is so darn heavy, you better hope that you don't drop it after you buy it.

Japanese Costs for PSX:

Sony PSX 5000 - 63,000 yen. Around $600 usd
Sony PSX 7000 - 80,000 yen. Around $800 usd

PSX pwns all other consoles, especially xbox.

[DarkCrescentMoon]

i persoanlly like square -enix....ionoo.. i'm a huge rper.but..man! you jsut cant be nintendo

[F1R3B4T]

welll nintendo has the consoles but ps2 has the games
nintendo has a whole line of consoles, each evolving step by step. same with teh game boys. its popularity is all in its portability. plus now u can hook it up to ur game cube {which is an AWESOME console...}
the games tho, aren't as popular as PS2... gamecube games are more for kids, more "cartoon like" such as smash bros, mario, ect ect. PS2 has most of the shoot-em-up-killing-blood all over the street type games... which i love
