Yeah, with Dick, Carpathia, Metal Gear War, Aerio 2, and Edgelord- er, Arbiter of Sin 3 all coming out within the span of a couple months, you guys have thoughts on any of those? ^_^;;; I know we've been dropping some big console war bombshells too, but sooo many big games...

Sega is probably going to survive but they're always going to be in 3rd place I think. What I think is suggested is that Nintendo is going to take its share of lumps, and get pulled down to earth a bit rather than any sort of precipitous decline.
All those titles that RySenkari mentioned seem to be a list of good solid games, but that none of them have the ability to be an industry changer.
The one thing about Mario though, is that its pretty hard to have a bad Mario platformer game, but most likely what could happen is that they end up producing a cookie cutter like a Super Mario Sunshine that doesn't introduce anything fundamentally new; just the good old Mario we know and love with just a few more power ups and better graphics that leave reviewers expecting more.
By that I meant, that if Big N rushes Mario, it could also be buggy because of a rushed production schedule in addition to what you stated.
As for some thoughts on the games...
Thank heavens the Arbiter of Sin series is finally put to rest, it always struck me as a game that meant for shock value like Mark Millar's Authority OTL (and most of his comics output, really.)
I'm kind of surprised that Kojima and Konami did not hold off on Metal Gear War and release it as a launch title for the Wave. Though I find it that War is the sequel to MGS and then there is an MGSII that is actually the sequel to War and...
As for Dick, if it doesn't get a proper sequel, maybe it could get a spiritual sequel using another genre. I hear superheroes are popular.
That is Kojima For you, at least happened pretty early(like when peace walker loss his number or portable ops too)
Arbiter of Sin 3 was so edgy that cut me, people will remember that as 'the 90's in a nutshell'.
I assume any pun I'd make was already made in the game itself. TBH, my reaction involved seeing the name "Dick Gumshoe" and thinking "So what do TTL readers of Game Over think of 'Dick Gumshoe' being just the localized name for Keisuke Itonokogiri?" Assuming, for argument's sake, that the Ace Attorney series is a thing in the Player-verse; I forget whether anything's been said about that and don't want to break the flow of the writing process for an archive binge.
I'm still waiting how people would join the fun, but well yeah that is details, about Ace Attorney, stay tuned... but yeah people would think that is a mythological gag naming that detective like that, like a lame joke, hope in Player-verse might have provoke more reactions,xd.
Lemme consult the ol' Nova games spreadsheet...
Oh hey, there's Ace Attorney, scheduled for September 2003!
...wait a second, I didn't mean to- *send*
The Arbiter of Sin series in general has an edge that can cut diamond, but the edge of Arbiter of Sin 3 in particular can cut reality itself.
So, Luigi's Mansion will be a Nova Super Mario RPG sequel, interesting.
Oh yeah, does Deicide perform the soundtrack for AoS3? That would be fitting.

Teal'c is NOT amused!

As for all the games, they were all solid and suitably great looking; Metal Gear War looked awesome!

My P2S/MM:GitNM self probably wouldn't even still be reading Game Over at this point:

@Roger Redux Pretty Nice Quote, wonder what you P2SELF would think of Arbiter of Sin being butterfly away?
I don't that would've bothered him over much; he would've more disappointed by Knuckles: Renegades being turned into Chaotix, and having a stupid gimmick instead of a plot (it's a part of his screen name after all
); as well as the absence of Virtua Quest, which he would've looked up after finding out it was the spiritual predecessor of Shenmue. He'd also be lamenting the loss of Game TV, along with about half the forum.Is the guardian of nature idea i suggested to you on the spreadsheet.

See my prior comment about Sega being one of those 90s relics that tried way too hard to be extreme. Like the X Games, or shirts with flames on them. It was pretty much Shadow the Hedgehog in the form of a multinational corporation.
I think that's part of why the company has struggled so much since the 90s - they focused so much on being hip they never figured out how to be good.
Sometimes it pays off, see (from the 2000s onwards) the OTL X-Box and their frat boy target audience, or Rated M for Manly/Money games.
Bill Gates made Gamergate and the alt-right without even realizing it.
