Message: [QUOTE="Ferik, post: 269373, member: 9097"] I think an interesting game to consider would be Pokemon Red/Blue. The Game Boy was actually a dying product before Pokemon breathed new life into it and Nintendo was planning on releasing a 16 bit handheld around 98 that got delayed due to technical issues and ended up getting reworked into the 32 bit GBA. Could the Wonderswan or NeoGeo Pocket actually have gained some sort of momentum had Pokemon already run its initial hype half a decade earlier? [automerge]1753054767[/automerge] I mean it had people flipping out in 98. People seem to forget that game launched in Japan in the same window as Ocarina of Time and Crash Bandicoot Warped. Sonic Adventure was absolutely [I]mental.[/I] I've heard people in more recent times try to argue that Sonic doing 6 characters was already old hat and a dumb idea since DK64 had 5 characters and was bad, which Sega should have learned from. Which is an absurd claim on two counts. First DK64 was pretty highly regarded at launch, and second [I]it came out a year after Sonic Adventure.[/I] [/QUOTE]
