Nintendo Gaming / nintendo to acquire 2 major developers???

« on: June 20, 2003, 12:24:22 PM »

I personally think Nintendo would gain the most if it bought Rockstar and Konami. Of course, even I know that's impossible. Both companies have ties with Sony and Rockstar won't become system exclusive again since it knows it can make mountains of money off of GTA. Still, it's nice to dream...

this thing sex. I try dodging and avoiding till he opens his jaws and then blast him but every time he grabs me and go ups and pile drives me to the ground, two of those and I'm pretty much dead having to start over, I think the most I have hit him is 2 also. There must be a trick to beating him??

That's the funniest thing I've read all day, if you take the wrong way.

In the words of Keanu Reeves, "Whoa". :

Nintendo Gaming / *sigh* GameCube finally hacked.

Of course I'll be my stuff legally. Heck, I don't even buy used games any more so Nintendo can get the profit.

Potential PSP Problems:

1. Cost: The most obvious problem is the cost. The PSP will use CD technology, so it will cost at least $150, that's with no bonuses or add-ons (like being able to play music CD's). More than likely, the PSP will launch with a price over $200 or directly at $200.

2. Battery Life: A CD reader is going to suck up the batteries on this thing like nobodies business. Regular music CD player's eat up 2 AA batteries every 10 hours. A CD-reader that must read game CD's (and therefore, more data than a music CD reader) is going to eat through 2 AA batteries in about 5 hours. That's horrible battery-life and will cost a fortune.

3. Size: Take your portable CD player, add several buttons and a screen, and you've got the PSP. If the screen is fold-up (like the GBA SP), this this thing will be about the size of the PSOne. So much for the "Pocket" part of PSP.

4. Graphics: While the graphics on this thing will be better than the GBA's, more than likely, if it doesn't match the PS1's graphic standard, Sony could be in trouble. The PSP's main crowd will be the average mainstream gamer, and if they look at the new Playstation, and see it doesn't even match PS1 graphic quality, they're very likely to blow it off and buy another PS2 game instead.

N-Gage has a very small possibility of surviving. Either the GBA will kill it (most likely) or the PSP will cut if off. Kind like the Phantom...

This guys been reading too much "Dune". I, personally, found the book to be average, and didn't read any of the sequels.

Nintendo Gaming / Fighters GC vs Xbox

« on: June 09, 2003, 05:54:13 AM »

The only fighters I've played on GC are SSBM and the Soul Calibur 2 demo and both of them work beautifully with the GC controller. And if you really don't like the controller, they are making one that has the layout of the SNES controller, as well as a regular arcade controller for fighters. So the controller should not be a problem, if you've got the money to spend.

Nintendo Gaming / Official Demo Disc Talk

« on: June 08, 2003, 06:32:14 PM »

Maybe I'm just jumping at shadows, but I'ver heard a lot of rumours on some other boards that there are some secrets on the demo disc. Something about unlocking another level for Billy Hatcher, I dunno. Do any of you know about this? Oh, and F-Zero looks incredible!

Nintendo Gaming / Release Date?

« on: March 22, 2003, 11:25:28 AM »

My local Babbages says it'll get WW in late Monday night. From what I understand, several of the stores in the big cities will get their's before some of the smaller stores do.
