What if

[StarmanSuper568]

What if a company decided to put out a 32-bit system again? I've always wondered that and I wanna know what the rest of you think. IMO, it probobly wouldn't last or get little or no attention. It would have a hard time getting third party developers into it too.

RE: What if

Yeah.

My question is this: Why did SNK decide to make a 3D KOF?

It looked like shit.

Sega should reissue the Saturn. I'd buy it.

RE: What if

I think Sega has this thing for always making a homage to NiGHTS but planning to never ever rerelease it. They enjoy mocking us who are without it.

Oh man, they should reissue the Intellivision, that shi rocks.

Yuji Naka is considering POSSIBLY making a sequel to NiGHTs on next-gen hardware, most likely the Revo.

There's that one company that remade the nintendo and is hoping to raise interest to get third-party developers to produce for the nintendo again. It's that Nintendo that has wireless controllers and a rumble feature. It's such a niche thing that I doubt anyone would take it seriously. Except maybe the koreans. They anal blaze trails through that shit.

First, the company would get ridiculed beyond belief. The only possible buyers they would get are frugal fathers that want to compromise between their child's wish for a 360 and their wallets. Second, they would completely fail at getting any game developers to even turn in their direction, except for maybe 13-year-old programmers that think they're hot shit. Lastly, they'd go bankrupt in a laughable and humiliating manner.

Summary: Ancient technology does not return. If someone wants to light a candle and they have a lighter, they are not going to go outside, grab a few pieces of rocks that look like they might spark, and try their luck.

Dude, I would buy it. I heart 32-bit systems. I have a Saturn. I have a SNES. I have 1 game for NES that I think may be at least 16 bit. Its called Viper. And I learned something about NES today. The game that was supposed to have the best graphics on it was never realeased. Hellraiser... Other wise I am a 32-bit freak

RE: Re: What if

The magic of the SNES was that even the what would be now considered third party games, and even the games built off a license on it were pretty good and fun. Nowadays, those games -usually- stink because it takes more effort to make a good game than lazy-ass companies are willing to put time into because they know they will most likely get good money off it anyway.

I wouldn't buy this new 32-bit system if it were to come. I'd rather see more 2D games come out for the major consoles, like Alien Homonoid or Geometry Wars.

Uh, take a look at the NeoGeo. It still has developers onboard, and it's a 10 year old 16 bit system.

Also, I would buy the system.
