Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo Nexus: Next-gen name?

« on: April 13, 2003, 05:07:52 PM »

 Back when SEGA released the Genesis (many , many years ago - geez, im getting old), I thought it would be cool if Nintendo went with the name REVELATION for the successor to the NES, for 3 reasons : 1. I thinks its cool! 2. The superior graphics and power would be like a revelation. 3. The obvious biblical reference (genesis may be the beginning, but revelation is the end!).  Insted we got the highly innovative SNES (whopee).

Maybe the NINTENDO REVELATION will be the successor to the Gamecube???

Nintendo Gaming / how do u reset the memory in advance wars for GBA?

« on: April 10, 2003, 09:05:06 AM »

i just recently got my hands on a used copy of advance wars for GBA and i absolutely love it! however, id like to really make the game "my own", but can't figure out how to erase the memory and start fresh. one faq said to press L, select, and right on the d-pad at the beginning, but that doesn't seem to work. any ideas??

ps. i didnt get an instruction manual with my game, so i apologize if the answer is in there.

thanks!!!

Nintendo Gaming / Starfox Adv. = Zelda. I don't understand why people did not like it.

It seems as if Rare and Nintendo tried a bit too hard to make Starfox Adventures too many different things.  They wanted the "adventure" part of the game, but it ended up feeling like a Zelda clone without the fun.  They wanted to remain true to the Starfox brand by adding some flying shootem up sequenences, but those felt tacked on, and grossly out of place.  And the ending.... how out of place did that feel? It's as if someone said, "Wait a minute! This is STARFOX! MORE SHOOTING!"

It's too bad. This was almost a great game. I still think it was good, but will never live up to the Metroid or Zelda standard.

It's funny, this game reminds me of an old classic NES one - The Guardian Legend.  I loved this game!  It still remains (to me, at least) a perfect example that different genres mixed together can work.  The exploration/adventure part was suspenseful and fun.  The space shhotem up sequences were outstanding! And everything flowed together logically.  Now, if only Starfox Adventures was more like that game....
