Nintendo Gaming / Gettin' Cube...finally! (Official "What game should I get?" Thread)

« on: April 13, 2003, 07:54:59 PM »

Okay, here is my opinions,

Resident Evil Zero: Not only will it give you a good scare or two, but if your a fan of the franchise or wanna get into it, this is where it all starts baby, oh YEAH! Doesn't get much better then this, leech kicking, hunter killing, zombie nut kicking goodness.

Star Fox Adventures: If your into adventure games this is a definate pick-up IU had LOADS of fun with this titles and this is definatly one of the top ten gamecube games, plenty of the item collecting nostalgia that takes you back to the days of Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie

Eternal Darkness: Another creepy title, not as 'jumpy' as resident evil, nor does the graphics match resident evils, but the story line and impressive gameplay is where the game is at. Its definatly as involving as any psychological thriller of a movie, action and storyline and plenty of puzzles let you know this game is one of the BEST!

Metroid Prime: one of the OLDEST franchises were amped up for this game and it didn't come out half bad. Surprisingly it has the same feel as the old Metroid games even though its 3-D and first person, plus it gives a needle full of Nostalgia but from back in the early nineties.

Timesplitters 2: This game is nothing less then FUN! Its a FPS and is a fast paced story lined based game from the people that brought you 'Goldeneye' on the 64, this game feels SOOO familure it might scare you.

Nintendo Gaming / The future of gameboy and some other issues.

« on: April 13, 2003, 07:33:18 PM »

As you can see from the title, its all about the future of our beloved game boy. Yes we love this little devil and are always surprised by what nintendo comes out with next but....the GBA graphics are already rivaling the Snes, correct? There are some things, such as metroid fusion, which I couldn't even think of being on the snes. So where is the GB platform going next? 64 bits? its a big jump and it doesn't seem the technology is even available, I say it is. If they can get tomb raider (the origional, early playstation graphics) to play on the nokia hand held n-gage then I am sure that nintendo could somehow turn up the heat a bit. But, I had a strange idea the other day, like lightning had struck my brain. Nintendo's console sales are down and they are in third in the wars (am I wrong?) so why don't they slowly move to the hand held market and concentrate all their effort there? I am sure if they did they could set the hand held buissness on FIRE! I could see future game boy's with back lights, infared multiplayer linking, internal batteries, CD's instead of cartridges, plus the cd's could hold gigantic games, think FF7 on a handheld, sitting in your car kicking some ass from a totally cordless perphrial. I can see that happening but not for a long time, unless nintendo puts the pedel to the metal. I first thought of this when I played Duke Nukem Advance, that was state of the art graphics years back and now we can play it on a gameboy and think nothing of it, intresting. What I am saying is if nintendo really put the buck behind the gameboy franchise, it could become BIG! Bigger then it ever has become, it could even snag not even nintendo faithfull gamers but even Xbox and PS2 gamers, because its a diffrent market then consoles, and havn't GBA's outsold all other consoles? think about it for a while....heh
