Quote: Pariah said: Not true. Nintendo hasn't been about gameplay since the 64.
that is opinion. and a grossly inaccurate one.
Quote: Pariah said: Nintendo more than likely figured that the Cube could get by on the use of famous characters. That's why Miyamoto requested exclusive use, by Cube, of the Metal Gear Solid remake from Kojima.
also not true.
a fault of the n64 was in nintendo's thinking that they could rely solely on first party games, so that might be what you're thinking of.
however, your depiction of the cube philosophies is off. companies like konami and titles like MGS or resident evil found their way to the cube because of a strong relationship between the japanese companies, and as a pride "attack" against microsoft.
