Nintendo Gaming / RE:Memory Card Rip-off

« on: August 16, 2004, 05:19:38 AM »

The technology for such a huge amount of space on the media Nintendo uses probably wasn't available or was too expensive when the GC first came out. And people complaining about paying $200 when the GC was released, that's just plain rertarded. PS2 was $300 at launch, as was XBox, and they're both $150 now. As time moves ahead, technology gets cheaper - remember when a Pentium 2 166Mhz PC with a 15" monitor and a bubble jet printer cost about $2,000? Nowadays you can't even find a PC near that price (unless you dont know how to shop). Anyway, I'm rambling.

I imagine they've sold a great deal of that total. It is a very solid game, a big step up from the original.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for Cube after all?

« on: April 26, 2004, 04:49:52 AM »

They actually made like 3 revisions of MK GOld, the latest being a blue disc with "HOT NEW" on the game's case. Pretty much every bug was removed from it, but there were still a couple small ones.

I agree that the MK trilogy is the greatest series to ever be put on a compilation disc. The Windows version of MK1/MK2 that was released as a 2-pack are the best ports of those 2 games (the Saturn MK2, and the nearly identical Japanese-only Playstation MK2 were pretty damned close though), and it's probably a toss-up between the PSX and PC versions of MK3 for best port there. MK4 was best ported on the N64 if you ask me, but MK Gold for Dreamcast was a lot better.

A wierd thing about the collection though - Primal Rage was made by Atari, not Midway. I guess Midway picked it up somewhere down the road when Atari pretty much died.

This is going to be the 1st time I ever buy one of these arcade classics discs, and I can't stand the wait.

It's also great for using custom characters in wrestling games, RPGs, etc, etc. The list is endless and it is not a waste of money, or stupid whatsoever..

I liked both games. The Genesis version had one advantage in that it was made by Virgin (which was then owned by Disney I believe), so everything in the game looks exactly like it did in the movie.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Info on Action Replay and Freeloader Please.

« on: November 18, 2003, 06:54:06 AM »

The Freeloader is just a GOD. The Action Replay is a GOD and a dongle (needed to store codes), but also has the Freeloader function.

I just got the Japanese version of Double Dash - great game. Haven't tested LAN yet, since I don't know anyone with a Gamecube...esepcially one with the Japanese Mario Kart.

TalkBack / RE:GameCube Sales Surge

« on: November 04, 2003, 07:27:48 AM »

THey grabbed 18 market share points in just 35 days? The increase in GCN sales must have seriously hurt PS2 and XBox sales for that to happen. Nintendo says they're a strong #2 in the US now, I'd like to see the total sales for all systems now.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Wrestlemania XIX

« on: November 03, 2003, 09:46:22 AM »

I really liked WMXIX when I first got it, but Revenge is absolutely stupid, and the gameplay still isn't what it needs to be. The graphics are awful too. If you have a PS2, go get Smackdown:HCTP, it blows WMXIX away, and every other wrestling game out there.

Ok, the truly sad thing is that a few years back he had his name legally changed to Ultimate Warrior. The guy is insane.

If they would add Mortal Kombat 1-3, then I'd surely go for it.

Nintendo Gaming / Wave Race: Blue Storm

« on: June 15, 2003, 05:53:14 PM »

I still have it and play it from time to time. Wave Race 64 was my favorite N64 game, and Blue Storm is one of my favorite GCN games.

General Chat / St. Anger=Teh Suck

« on: June 11, 2003, 11:38:55 AM »

Ok, the whole "Nu-Metal" subject needs to be killed. People saying the St Anger is Nu Metal have no f*cking idea what they're talking about. Linkin Park is Nu-Metal, Staind is Nu-Metal, HedPE is Nu-Metal, KoRn is Nu-Metal, compare any of those to St Anger and they have absolutely nothing in common. St Anger is METAL, plain and simple...it's also a damned good album.

General Chat / St. Anger=Teh Suck

« on: June 03, 2003, 04:39:07 AM »

St Anger is one of the best songs they've put out in the past 13 years in my opinion. I've heard clips from the entire CD (from some Brazilian radio station), at least 1:30-2:00 of each song, and every song on there f'n rocks. People that don't like the new CD just must not like the *real* Metallica, because that's what you're gonna hear.

« on: May 24, 2003, 06:23:41 AM »

I think the whole putting "ROTFLMAO LOL" (yes, when meant as a joke, I DO understand) is so homo now. It was funny 2 ye...wait no, it was never funny. Anyway, I really did like the part about counting all of the XBox hits on 1 finger. That was a classic.

Nintendo Gaming / DivX?

« on: May 22, 2003, 06:33:08 PM »

I didn't think that made any sense at first...but now it does. The GCN can display FMV at any angle, so maybe they could use a DivX encoded video as a texture...but I don't really see why that would be necessary unless it was used for moving water or fire or something.

Give me a couple of hours (maybe overnight), and I can turn all the FMV in Final Fantasy VII PC into Divx, and given the source code for the game, I could port it to DivX in about another hour.  It's not really as big a deal as you make out.

The problem is that I am sure that Factor 5 wants some money for their DivX kit, and developers probably are too cheap to pay it, or really don't care if their FMV is butchered all to hell.  Personally it doesn't bother me much though.  The only game I have played that really has FMV THAT low in quality is Eternal Darkness.  *sob*

I just saw this post was bumped, and read the full thing again. No offense, but what you said makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You can't port a game to DivX. Making a DivX video is quite simple, almost anyone with a PC can do it...but that porting a game to DivX really bugs me, and even given the source code to the game, it would take months to port it to anything, especially something non-existent like the "DivX video game system"...ok bye.

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube Wrestling Games

« on: May 14, 2003, 05:58:01 PM »

I saw Backyard Wrestling on TechTV a while back, and it's by far the worst looking wrestling game I've ever seen - not just the graphics, but the actual gameplay itself looked plain awful. Anyway, don't forget about Wrestlemania XIX, hopefully a site will post stuff from the E3 version.
