TalkBack / RE:Turbo/Super CD Games Confirmed for N. America

So what?  100MB is still nearly 1/5 of Wii's entire storage.  Something has gotta give.  *crosses fingers for Wii HDD*

I didn't have a problem with it when they didn't call the N64 the NES64 (or the Ultra NES), so I don't see why they should have to keep the same name for all their handhelds, either.


It's not that simple PartyBear.  Although the N64 wasn't called the NES64, it really didn't matter since all home Nintendo systems were called "Nintendo" by the average person.  It didn't matter if it was the "Original" Nintendo, the Super Nintendo or the Nintendo 64, to everyone not in the know, it was just Nintendo.  Same convention goes for the Gameboy.  It didn't matter that there was the DS.  Every handheld Nintendo had made was a Gameboy.  Not many people I knew called it a "Gameboy Advance" or a "Gameboy Pocket" it was just Gameboy.

Edit: Also, it's impossible for Nintendo to kill off the Gameboy

"rue hardcore gamer consoles no longer exist. Everyone is targeting the mainstream. MS does it by making people think they're hardcore gamers. Nintendo does it by making people think they really aren't gaming at all. Sony... well Sony used to make people think they were gamers without being nerds but now doesn't seem to have a very good plan at all."

That's got to be one of the truest things I've ever heard Ian say.

Why would you expect a game called Paper Mario to be SUper Mario with Paper Mario elements?


Well it is called SUPER Paper Mario.  Plus, since the turn based battles were removed, it seemed like the game was going more Super Mario than Paper Mario.  I thought it would've been a bit more linear than it is.  At first it seemed like it was since the first couple of levels were straight left to right ala Super Mario.

Lowest scoring NBA Final since the shot clock was introduced and this is the thing you notice?


Well it was the conclusion of the game.  Pretty much decided the outcome.  Though, frankly the only difference this game has in the series is whether or not the Spurs won the series 4-0 or 4-1.  I think San Antonio is getting the brooms out if ya know what i mean

The only thing that'll bring the Xbox back from the dead in Japan is a couple hundred....thousand...square-enix games.  It's been the only (and I mean only) thing that has caused a blip in 360 sales.

So really all we need is the Super Nintendo Turtles in Time and we are set.


Agreed, though TMNT 3 felt different than Turtles 2 & 4

Actually for anyone that played it, how good was Hyperstone Heist?  Was it up to the quality of 3 and Time?


Eh, you wouldnt really like Hyperstone Heist, it's pretty much a castrated version of Turtles in Time

There's no way Mystical Ninja is just "recommended for fans".  It was a crazy fun experience that everyone needs to experience.  So much to do, so much humor.  It's priceless I tells ya.

Heh, nope.  I love Ninja Warrior.  But I do echo the sentiments of everyone else here.  G4...I don't even know what the hell it is anymore.  It was a gaming channel, and even though I hated many of the shows (pretty much anything that had Tommy Taralico in it), I had to support it because it was pretty much my dream realized.  I had always had high hopes for the network even though I knew it'd never be what I had envisioned (Starcade ftw).  In its original format it was...tolerable.  Fast forward to today and the network isn't even a shell of what it once was.  The tag is "TV for Gamers" but good luck finding anything game related on it.  There is absolutely no reason to tune in anymore, save for Brainaic.  Last time I flipped through they had a show that was dedicated to showing Youtube videos....I think that speaks for itself.  I can honestly say I hate the network with a passion.  Didn't know Bloodworth worked there though.  What's the story behind that?
