Nintendo Gaming / Pikmin 2!

« on: May 24, 2003, 08:55:39 AM »

i got dissapointed by some previews....

ive been pretty odd.... i was really looking forward to pikmin2 and wario world, but so far pikmin 2 has been called a rehash... and wario world is still very cool still, just not as cool... by a bit.

tho the news is that fzero does not dissapoint, same with re4, and othjers.

EDIT: I just read the features on Nintendo's E3 2k3 and it seems it isnt a rehash!

Ummm.... Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters is getting an upgraded ( Better ) port to the Xbox.

>> It occured to me that one reason why the PS2 gets games and the Cube doesn't is that the architecture of the PS2 is so weird <<

Nope it is just simply that the PS2 has a gagillion and one owners / units out there and the Xbox and GC have only a portion of that. It is as simple as that. IF Gamecube or Xbox were #1..... they would have the most games.

no... the ps2 is such a bihotch to develop... harder tehn n64.

Look at RE for an example, it is a great game and didnt sell worth beans. Why, because to many cube owners wont touch anything that isnt made by Nintendo becase they assume it will be inferior.


FALSE!

They will touch good 3rd party, but RE and 0 were released to close together.. wait for RE4... more sales will come... ppl were pondering RE or RE0.. they were to close.

if people would see some of nintendos marketing it may help them sell more- but i am not sure
people still go on how the gamecube is kiddy and nintendo sucks and on and on and on
it gets real annoying
but to be honest- nintendo is making the most money out of all 3 major consoles- and i think that is what counts to nintendo
they may be in last place in the number of consoles sold, but they do make the most money off of each one sold
nintendo just saw a huge jump in gc selling mostly due to zelda and a free game with the console
i have seen nintendo a little more aggressive though with their marketing now- i see nintendo commercials every day on espn
hopefully nintendo keeps dishing out the good games so i can be one happy gamer

huh.. so all those zeldas went to non regular gcers? not ot mention how some others bought it ahead of time.......................

Nintendo Gaming / So what's up with Capcom?

« on: April 05, 2003, 08:38:27 AM »

this is bs, the magazine is probably misunderstood.

capcom says this is utter bs.

nintendo sold the most everything for march...

ign says this is bs


i say this is bs..

xbox is having a hard time like GC did... xbox will get the same treatment... n i could see uk retailers repeating the GC thing with Xbox...

the video game market is going to crash... it is to hard for everyone....

ive been right on many occasins on this business stuff... even though i predict this it may not be true with corps having billions..

i dont think billy will tolerate such large losses.. he even raised  xbox live fee... and it is losing supporters...

the xbox gets some very same treatment---you just dont follow it.. n capcom is currently favouring gc and ps2 way more then microsoft.. ms probably doesnt look good to the eyes of a japanese company...

nintendo could very easily take capcom under its belt....

when miyamoto said gc would be easy to develop a long time ago.. he was right.. ps2 is more difficult then the N64 for gods sake!


you ppl just jump the gun so much.. some of the sega sports is returning even....

i think nintendo had a hidden plan.. and i was right.. and i also got flamed for it.. but i was right!!!!!

Nintendo Gaming / Soul Calibur 2.....

As I mentioned on the Talkback thread, I would've liked Namco to get a bit creative and have at least one alternate outfit for Link, as well his own stage since I haven't seen that CLEARLY depicted.  Alas, having Link is sweet enough, who cares about Spawn or Heiachimachiblah.

Yeh... Namco makes a very good fighter.. like Tekken.

Anywho, in one of my old old gaming magazines, I found a review of Soul Caliber, pretty innovative game... you  could do all sorts of neat stuff. like having your opponent miss you (say with a move that moves u a distance across the screen) and fall in.. say ... a very deep hole to death.

Nintendo Gaming / Metal Gear Solid 3... Gamecube EXCLUSIVE!?

« on: March 23, 2003, 07:05:57 AM »

Here is a rough translation, from your master, me!

"During an interview with the French press, Miyamoto had announced that Nintendo currently worked with Kojima and that Metal Gear Solid on GameCube would benefit from interconnection GC/GBA.
Today, the official magazine French Nintendo, number 11 of April, written in its pages "current events":



Shigeru Miyamoto (...), we met it in Paris, where it revealed us some confidences which we divide with you throughout this page. Let us start with "excluded which kills": Metal Gear Solid 4 will be on Gamecube and nowhere elsewhere ! But it will undoubtedly be necessary to have patience of very long months before seeing the color of it...


Then, error on behalf of the magazine which believed to include/understand in this advertisement of a MGS on Gamecube, a opus exclusive number 4 OR true exclusiveness in the next title of Kojima for the console of Nintendo? And isn't it astonishing of speaking already about MGS 4 whereas nothing of the 3 yet are known? With less than the magazine made an animal careless mistake, and than it is well MGS3 excluded Gamecube?

We will keep you informed when we are more. To thus confirm!...
