Nintendo Gaming / RE: Soul Calibur 2

Ahhhh yes, just got my copy today.  Now to get down to business.  The reason why people say Link isn't any good is because a lot of his attacks are slow and are guard impact bait, not to mention the lag after a lot of his whiffed attacks just leaves him open to anything.  However, while I don't think I'd be using him in any tournaments any time soon, he still isn't bad.  I will say this about him though, from what I've experienced Link seems to real good at scoring Ring Outs.  About the X-Box version looking better, I guess anything will look better at 720p wouldn't it?  Otherwise, on a TV that and the Cube version look about the same.  I'd even go as far and say that the cube version may actually be a little sharper.  I'll say this though, this has got to be the best arcade to home port of a fighting game I've ever seen... WOW.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Peach's new look

I find it cutre on Peach too. BUt for some reason, I can't help staring. It looks too damn sexy...........CUTE I meant CUTE

Uh-oh, don't start drooling at the screen now... j/k.  Yeah really, she does appear to be a bit more "cute" than normal.  However, I gotta agree with Artimus, the voice has GOT TO GO!!!  Grrrrrr....   Daisy actually sounds like she's cool, but Peach...  (covers ears).

Peach in a short skirt ain't new.  I remember back on Mario's Tennis for the Virtual Boy (yes i have one...) she wore that outfit. As far as whether I like it or not, I don't go crazy over it, but I'm not covering my eyes either.  I think it's kinda cute.  Daisy on the other hand, that head just ain't shaped quite right for it... ahhh my eyes!  But yeah, I'm cool with it.

Yep, I have a Playcube 2.  I guess it's pretty much official then, get the one with the rounded connector piece.  If you have a Dual Shock and don't want to import a Hori Pad this is probably your best bet.

 Whoa, I didn't know there were two different versions of the playcube.  That explains everything.  About the analog stick calibration for the other games, it seems a bit dodgy.  It seems to work fine as long as you're controlling something on screen but it becomes an issue when you try to stay still onscreen.  It has a bad habit of continuing to move the onscreen object in the last direction you pushed the stick in which in turn will probably mean re-calibration.  Funny thing is not all games do this, and from what i've seen the GBPlayer doesn't do this either.  Outside of that, it's great and I use it exclusively with the Game Boy Player.

Keep in mind that most cube games do use the analog sticks, which is probably why the original pads don't work with it.  The one that I'm using is the PSone dual shock pad, and as I've said earlier it works no questions asked.  Did you ever get a hold on that early model Dual Shock pad?  Also, has anyone else tried using their Playcube with it?

Well, it was the original PlayCube adapter by Nyko, and I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work.  It just functioned like it was a original cube pad.  I can tell you from experience though that non-analog PSX controller does not work with the PlayCube at all.  Do you have a launch Gamecube or one of the newer ones?  Maybe that has something to do with it?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: C'mon, Blockbuster and Sears...are GC sales really that low?

« on: August 08, 2003, 08:55:20 AM »

Didn't Sears have somekind of fallout with Nintendo or vice versa a few years back?  I could've swore I've heard something around those lines which in turn stopped all Nintendo products from going over to that store.

GBplayer with the Playcube adapter using a PS1 dual shock pad.  You will need quicktime to see it.
Sorry about the image quality though.

A gamecube game can link to a GB player on another cube like it was a regular GBA.  That and I've gotten the playcube adapter to work with it.  It works with the PS1 dual shock pad perfectly. Also, just for a little humor I connected a wormlight to the thing and it worked.
