To tell you the truth, I liked the old ign64 as well. And
maybe I missed it, but it looks like they dont even have N-PUT
or N-QUERY anymore. Also, when I checked the site out last
night, on various pages throughout the site, I noticed various HTML
screwup's attributed to HTML code mistyped, and images missing
on a few pages as well.
They obviousely did a rush job on the HTML conversion's.
Hell, I myself run a small HTML page about Startrek, and if I was
even doing a large site/page for a network like IGN, even if it's
hundred's of HTML pages, I'd sure as hell double and triple check
my HTML coding for any error's before it goes up on the server, hell
even load it up offline in Netscape to make sure everything look's
ok before it goes on the server.
Speed wise, the site loaded up quite quick on my 33.6
modem before, now it takes considerably longer to load up all
those graphic's. I dont mind graphic's in web pages, as long as one
doesn't overdo it, as ign64 to me anyway's, seems to have done.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. I still have yet to read one news story, either
the pages I go to are competely black where the story is supposed to, or it loads
the main page wrong or not at all. And the server is slow as anything.. I hope it
does get better cuz if it's as bad as it is now, I'll probably quit going to it. :(
Oh and also my friend was telling me that his friend got a copy of Turok 2
off the blackmarket, so I'm gonna try to borrow it from him if it's really Turok 2..

What does it matter if it's gold or not? I mean come on it'll be cool if it is, but
it's not something to get angry about.. Now if it was gonna get delayed or they
were gonna take out some of the stuff in the game, then get mad at that then.
Think of it this way it's gonna play the same whether it's gold, gray, pink,
whatever.. Just my opinion. Later..

Fonts are different from text for the most part.
The text itself would still take up space.
The font would be images of how that text will look when used, like many
little images.
But, the next Nintendo will save space on those images. (Unless a developer
wants to use an original font.)
Oh, also what I was thinking of was that Nintendo could include the 3d logo
of Nintendo and any other Nintendo logo, like the 3d N, on that ROM.

but the thing is that they will be fixing these bugs shortly
i would rather have it now and slightly buggy, than have to wait extra days
now, they have many, many, many beta testers
plus we have our information back
if we were talking about a program, yeah, they should be designed to not
need patches
but that isn't really the developer's fault...
the publishers with their rushed deadlines and limiting budgets i beleive
are at fault

WE BOUGHT THIER GAMES! What do you mean they don't owe us anything? They owe us
EVERYTHING! We, the consumers, "made" Nintendo the company they are today! Where would they
be without us? Ill tell ya, still trying to sell playing cards thats where! Die-Hard
Nintendo fans are what kept the N64 from drowning ealry. I believe you need to think before
you make a statement like that!

I think YOU need to think too, they dont owe us. Its not like we bought
the nintendo items because we wanted to save them from poverty.

I'm not going to spoil my experience with Zelda so i skipped all the
in-game shots, but I took a peek at all the title screen screencaptures
and man, this one is just plain beautiful.
The scope of the game is awesome!!!

Is that all you could come up with? Sad... very sad. Nintendo does owe us for our loyalty.
Answer me this, where would the Big N be without us loyalist who bought the N64 as soon as it came
out? or the SNES? or the NES? hmm... Liek I said before they would still be peddling Donkey Kong
and those card games. If your going to write back make a point. Explain yourself. Don't just make
an argument for the sake of arguing. I want to know what makes you think they don't owe us.
