Also, you guys need to change your google ad coloring to match the new site. Seriously, the purple google ads really clash with it.
Oh, and the forum colors are perfect. Perhaps the only thing you'd need to change is maybe the dark purple to perhaps dark grey or blue. Keep the the rest of the colors though.

Robageejammin, that can't be too hard to pull off. It's a very simple suggestion and the contrast does wonders. It looks much like the forums do right now which are more pleasing to the eye right now than the main site. Too much white is a terrible thing but just the right amount of contrast will let you escape from flashbanging yourself whenever you load the site in a dark room.
I know that there are still bugs and things being worked out and perhaps small additions in usablity to the site but once that is done I highly recommend you use Robageejammin's example as a template for the site. It will do you a world of good. It can't be that hard to implement. At least do it to the center. That's where it needs the contrast the most.

Since most of these songs will be covers I really don't care. However, I'm very sad that we won't be getting Hardware Store. That would've been amazing as a stage.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Single Response Wii Launch Opinion Thread
« on: September 14, 2006, 07:06:01 PM »
Look, basically with the Wii you're getting a Gamecube on crack with a lot of extra power made just for figuring out how to react to the wacky controller. The system shouldn't cost that much since it's recycling a lot of technology. It's got a sweet interface and a lot of potential for future firmware updates and downloads etc. but that doesn't make up for the price for what it’s bundled with. I fully expected Nintendo to release this thing with at the very least a demo built into the system or Wii Sports and well we got Wii Sports. However, I won't be happy if those 50 dollars over the $200 sweet spot are for packing in Wii Sports. That's ridiculous. You shouldn't have to pay more than 10 dollars for that via a Virtual Console download if at all. 5 overblown mini games do not equal 50 dollars. Perhaps additionally with a demo disc with future titles such as Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess, Wario Ware, Rayman Raving Rabbids, etc., an extra Wii controller and nunchuck attachment, a classic controller, and 5 Virtual Console downloads it would be well worth going 50 dollars over the sweet spot. It'd be a great sign of good will to the consumer. That way you could preview all future and current titles and be one step towards a full multiplayer set up. Here's hoping that they offer demos to download.
Oh the Virtual Console. It's pure profit even if they sell all the games for just one dollar. 5 dollars for an NES game is extortion. With the price they have set up I don't think they'll be getting as many sales as they think they will. They'd be raking in a lot more cash for 1 dollar for NES games, 3 dollars for SNES games, and 5 dollars for N64 games. Given the illusion for cheap prices people are more likely to go spend crazy and Nintendo will get more money as a result; money which again is pure profit. Nintendo is just being greedy with current prices and I think it'll likely bring down sales but no matter since it's all profit to them. I as a consumer am just disappointed because I won't be buying as many games on the Virtual Console as I'd like.
I'm actually fine with the launch line up because as it was there were too many good games at launch. Many that would've have overwhelmed other games. I'm sure Ubisoft is very appreciative of the Metroid Prime 3 delay. I imagine Red Steel will sell many more copies now. Oh and I'm very happy about region-free. I sincerely hope no third party is retarded enough to actually region their games since it is an option. Likewise I hope they also follow Nintendo's lead and price their games at no more than 50 dollars.
If Nintendo plans to release 4 million Wiis across the US this year how would it hurt to start earlier than PS3's release date? They'll obviously have stores stocked no matter what so the "oh PS3 buyers will turn to Wii after not finding PS3 in stock" argument is rendered null since the stock will be available if they're stock piling this stuff. They have to be if they have 4 million of them. Oh and if they can produce that many white Wiis it can't be that hard to have black Wiis too. According to most polls the black version is what most people want. Unfortunately just like Gamecube they've decided to make their flagship system the color that most people didn't want. At least this time it isn't purple but last time we at least had the option of choosing black. If you can somehow transfer or redownload Virtual Console games you've already purchased to a new system I might buy a black Wii when it comes out and sell my white Wii. Let's just say the white Wii had an "accident".
Separately sold controller parts are a crime to both consumers and developers if it's the only option. I'm fine if the classic controller is sold separately but the pointer and nunchuck parts should be sold together for no more than 50 dollars. If you need a part replaced then I can see them charging those separate prices. This would be good for an online store I bet. Speaking of online they better not making component cables an online store only again. I want to use component cables on day one so I better be able to get them retail.
No one would be complaining if the following case was true:
1x Wii Console
1x Sensor bar
1x Wii stand
1x AC adaptor
1x AV cable (composite)
2x Wii Controllers (with two AAA batteries)
2x Nunchuck attachments
1x Classic Controller attachment
1x Wii Sports
1x Wii Demo Disc
5x Virtual Console downloads
Cost: $250
Virtual Console Prices:
$1 - NES games
$3 - SNES games
$5 - N64 games
Controller packages:
$50 - Wii Controller and Nunchuck attachment bundle
$40 - Wii Controller separately
$20 - Nunchuck attachment separately
$20 - Classic Controller (comes with 1 free Virtual Console download)
Nintendo also needs to have a rewards program. My recommendation is to have 1 or 2 free Virtual Console downloads with every Wii game purchase (that means all Wii game purchases including 3rd party. Nintendo still needs to figure out that they need to reward consumers for supporting them. If they can do that then they'll have this generation won right at the start.
I'll be getting a Wii no matter what. Just don't expect me to not say my piece on how Nintendo could be doing this better. Everyone would be rejoicing if this was the reality.

All you b@stards who are voting no are basically telling Nintendo not to bring any of their quirky Japanese games over here. Voted yes with a quickness! You'd all do well to do likewise. Even if you don't like Tingle have him brought over here. You don't have to buy it but I'm sure plenty of people will.

I bunch of us got Game Over bundled with our GameCubes at launch if you preordered one from EB. Now, that was a great preorder. Cube, extra controller, memory card 59, Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader, Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race Blue Storm, and Game Over. I don't even recall what I paid but it was totally worth it.

lol if it's Microsoft it'll be hilarious because really what do they have to work with? Bungie, Rare, and Lionhead characters and maybe a touch of DOA. Pathetic.
If Sony did it, it might be cool but it would instantly be touted by people as a knock-off.
Besides now that Snake is in SSBB it opens up doors for other third parties which would be much more willing to hand characters over to Sakurai and get his special care and treatment.

« on: May 10, 2006, 09:32:49 PM »
What?! They got rid of one of the shoulder buttons? That's stupid. They can't do N64 games right if they don't at least have those two extra shoulder buttons on reserve. The second analog control stick as c buttons is retarded and anyone who supports that idea is an idiot. Plus the Sega games need six face buttons. This isn't hard, Nintendo. This really isn't. Just have six face buttons like the Genesis. Oh and they better as hell pack this thing with the system and every controller bundle set. Developers might actually come up with creative ideas that might need it and the strapped wii controller in the future. Nintendo, would be alienating developers if every Wii user didn't have one of these for every Wii controller they buy.

This controller would be perfect if it had two extra face buttons like a six button Genesis layout so you could actually have N64 c buttons which is important because there were games that used the c buttons as buttons and not camera controls. Using the second analog stick for N64 c buttons doesn't cut it. It may have worked for gamecube's OOT but it won't work for every N64 game and I'd rather have a standard layout if they added just two more face buttons than them having to remap the buttons all the time.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: The Rev should be a download center for DS demos
« on: April 10, 2006, 02:46:37 PM »
Yeah, I don't even understand where people are getting the idea they'll be playing SNES and N64 games on their DS. They are just way too big without having their own cartridge and Nintendo isn't going to be releasing a cartridge for people to do that. Too much effort unless a special cartridge for that comes packaged with the Revolution. With enough emulation you could shrink the resolution to a certain aspect ratio that it will fit on one of the DS screens but you'll most likely lose some details. N64 games are just a dumb idea. You have to completely remap and retool each game for the DS hardware and even then they might not work that well. Most people didn't enjoy using the thumbstrap for Mario 64 DS and it's not even being packaged with the DSlite presently so I'm thinking a big no to that idea. I could see NES and possibly SNES games on the DS but a big no to N64.
The only thing reasonable is a DS demo download station being used in the Rev. I definitely think they'll do this. I think every company would want to hop on to that so anyone can download a demo of their game so they can see if they want it. It will get them more sales.
