Nintendo Gaming / madden 2003 cards

« on: November 30, 2003, 05:22:57 AM »

i know you can get some cards by having another saved football game on the mem card you are using, but how does it work? i have a madden 2002 saved season on my card but i can't unlock the cards like the marshal's team. is there something specific i have to do?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Official Pre-order bonus material for GCN Games

« on: August 05, 2003, 04:11:24 PM »

actually, i don't know if this is going on everywhere, but at my local Software etc. The Ocarina of time bonus disk comes packaged in the Windwaker, so the people that didn't pre order still get it.

Nintendo Gaming / lithium batteries

« on: August 01, 2003, 01:18:37 PM »

You know how the cart format has lithium batteries (i think thats what they're called)to save data, and they will eventually die out, well do CGN Mem cards work the same way? Also, if the battery does die out, on a N64 game, would you still be able to play the game just not save, or will it just kill the game.

Nintendo Gaming / GCN advertisements - NOA gets it right

« on: May 31, 2003, 02:02:45 PM »

yeah, i just saw that one yesterday. I still laugh at it everytime i see it. Oh and its the demo disc that he hands to her, not wind waker. Still, they are getting better. Now all they need to do is transfer these new advertising ideas to games. All the funny good one's are just for the GCN bundle, not for actual games. TYhey need to do some commercials like Sony did for legend of the Dragoon, where the guy is all tough and stuff and gets his head cut off, saying "ow that hurt". Well you had to see it to understand it but it was funny non the less.

Nintendo Gaming / games you don't play anymore.

« on: May 11, 2003, 03:31:58 PM »

I'm one of those people that buys the great games when they come out but settles for the "deals" on other games. I bought Madden 2002 for 15 dollars a while ago, and just bought 2003 after playing it at a friends house and seeing how much more i liked it (for 20 bucks). Anyway, now i don't know what to de with 2002. I could go sell it at software etc but they propbrably won't give me more than 5  bucks in store credit. So what do you guys do when you upgrade yoour sports games? Any other options beside software etc and the pawn shop?

Nintendo Gaming / The dbz game coming to gamecube....

PLZ don't flame about another one of those OPINION issues. *runs, trips, dies*

True that most of the games were really bad, but thats cuase Bandai was behind the wheel making them. Bodoukai is actually a decent game and i can't wait to play it on my cube and not have to play it on my friends PS2. And about people liking other animes, well they do. I seriously don't understand why some people dislike DBZ so much. The reason so many people mention it is cuase  1) how many other animes can say they have nearly 300 episodes? 2) How many have been airing in some way, shape or form for 10 (maybe more years)? DBZ is what most people started on. If it wasn't Robotech, it was DBZ.

This sounds like flame but its not meant to be one, I'm just tired of reading comments like "People should like other anime" and "Hopefully they'll remove the dbz characters. and add a good game". I'm personally getting tired of the same old Mario and Zelda, and i didn't really like sunshine, but i'm not saying get rid of mario and make the game better or maybe Ganon should stay dead or trapped and get someone else to be the bad guy.

General Chat / interesting facts

« on: April 23, 2003, 03:54:49 PM »

this might not be gamecube related but i had no where else to put it. Anyway, do any of you know any sites which have interesting facts on videogames? I'm talking about oddities or sites that tell you about the real histroy that went into the game, like Eternal darkness, which a lot of research went into. Also stuff that tells you about things that were remnoved from the final version of the game. i heard of a unicorn fountain in Zelda OoT which let you upgrade your sword so it could shoot. I found one site so far:

« on: March 27, 2003, 11:30:02 AM »

i bought a surround system which supports Pro Logic I, however when playin my Gamecube games that support Pro Logic II, I really can't tell that its surround. Do I need a Pro Logic II receiver to get this or just turn up the back speakers more?
