If anyone finds a video file of someone actually doing this, let me know. I can start it with 1 arrow, if it's even possible, but I want to see it done.

I don't see how it could be possible. I play Soul Calibur 2 frequently (mostly Ivy, but I do play around with Link too); the thing is that Link resets himself (stance) after shooting, which in effect causes the delay and prevents you from constant arrow shooting. There are several uses to Link's projectiles, mind games and follow ups mostly, but juggling is not one of them. He simply can't shoot fast enough, if he could, he would be extremely over powered.

The detail in MGS2 is unbelievble. Hell you can even slip on bird poop. Name me another game that you can slip on bird poo?

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. There isn't as many chances, as there aren't as many areas with birds, but in the lift going to the Raven boss fight you get at least one bird dropping per ride it seems.

Nintendo Gaming / Sega Announces New Shining Force....

Sonic Team is just development division of Sega, they are owned by Sega, so unless Sega sold Sonic Team to Nintendo, along with whatever game rights Sonic team wanted to keep (you can bet Sega wouldn't let go of Sonic and many others) don't expect anything along those lines. Much like Square working with Brownie Brown (made up of many former Square employees that worked on Mana games) it would seem easy to assume Sega would want to work with Camelot, and thus bring the game to Gamecube or GBA. But you have to factor in how much more money could be made from putting it on PS2. I certainly hope it's on Cube though, I prefer playing my Cube over my PS2 any and all chances I can get, it just feels better. In fact, I wouldn't even want a new game, they can just update Shining Force 3 and send it over, since there were Three episodes to the game, and we only got one here in the US on saturn, it would be nice to finally be able to finish it all in cohierent english. They can always toss in other shining games. In fact, just making a Shining Collection. Including the Genesis and Gamegear ones, as well as games like Shining the Holy Ark, and I'd be happy.

Maybe other people don't think much of collection disc, but I love them. You know once Sonic Adventure DX releases with its gamegear games in it, that almost every sonic game would be available on Gamecube (not including those PC school house titles). Just make another Mega Collection and you could get every Sonic game on your Gamecube. Back when I was 13 I sold my Genesis and add-ons for some N64 games. And it was the worst mistake ever made. I miss Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic CD so much. But with all these new great games coming out, and expenses of an 20 year old, I don't have the money to track them down and buy them all back. Besides, I love having a whole series available to me on one system.

The Titanic reference with Jack and Rose has good imagery. Titanic was a ship that sunk, and so was MGS2. MGS2 took place on a ship too. I didn't get even half the enjoyment out of MGS2 that I did the original. And I really don't mind not playing as Snake for a good bit of the game (the majority). What really made me mad was bosses like "Fatman", the whole arm thing, the ever so long codec conversations (it took an hour to listen to, and half an hour to fast foward through). The gameplay was expanded in MGS2 which was great, but all the bad aspects of MGS that didn't get that bad were expanded as well. And the gameplay just didn't make up for it this time. I had hoped that the Cube MG game would either be a remake of MGS, one of the old MG games, or even a new MG game. Anything but a port of Substance. Thank god it wasn't that. I certainly hope this does well enough to encourage Konami to put more of their main titles on Cube as opposed to just Disney and Yu gi oh junk. Even if Nintendo seems to be footing the large end of the bill for the game, if sales are good, Konami may decide it's worth investing other things in. MGS3 might even go multiplatform from the start then, if not shortly after it's PS2 debut.

Yeah, in Escape from New York, and Escape from LA the main character is Snake. Not just Snake, but Snake Pliskin...if anyone recalls a certain someone in MGS2 that should ring a bell. I'm not sure if the movie took that name from anywhere, but it's rather odd for the game to match up so well like that. Of course, they are sure odd movies to give props too in a game.

I'm sure the title will be handled well. Voice acting and everything. Metal Gear Solid and Eternal Darkness had some of the best I've seen in a game. In fact, I think the same man did both Pious and The Colonel in both games. From the name though, it makes me wonder if they will have a few alternative missions for Liquid. I didn't think MGS2 was that great, I felt really let down the the story direction and endless codec converstations. As long as I get a good amount of gameplay I'll be happy.

One thing that makes me wonder though is how they will handle the part with Mantis. Since he would read Konami save files on your PSX, I wonder what he will do this time around. Konami hasn't exactly given the Gamecube much, and I don't want to hear him talking about Disney Football. Perhaps he will make some mention of sanity, not to out right say Eternal Darkness, but make some obscure reference the fans will pick up. I know the game will be true to the original. And I'm eager to see more on it. But I was also eager to see more on Too Human as well. As long as SK can confirm that they are still keeping Too Human going, I'll be good though. I just want to know the game wasn't canned.

Now that all next generation systems will have a Metal Gear Solid game, I certainly think the Gamecube will be getting the best of them. Nintendo has worked really well with developers, they have done a lot to get developers to have faith in them again and given Nintendo's current game line up on the market, I doubt you will have any trouble with censorship. Of course, Metal Gear Solid was never heavy on the blood either. Which was really fitting for the game and theme.
