General Chat / RE: New Return Of The King trailer

« on: October 01, 2003, 04:34:29 PM »

WOW THAT IS AWESOME!!!

My bro told me this, I don't know how many of you have heard this but when they were making the Two Towers, they programmed the battle scenes for how the battle would go on. So they would just run the sim and then it would switch cameras during the battle and such. So when they ran the simulation for the first time, some of the warriors actually turned around and ran away from the fight!! So they had to reprogram it so they wouldn't do that! Lol, pretty funny. Just a little bit of interesting stuff ther...

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Mario 128 canned?

« on: October 01, 2003, 04:05:56 PM »

Okay now, this is getting me really confused. I read in Gamepro when the GCN first came out about how the Gamecube was powerful enough to have about 128 Marios running around on screen. And now I'm seeing people say it was game and others say that it was what I read it the first place. If it is a game I don't think that it would be possible to have Mario 128 come out in late November! Wouldn't you think that Nintendo would want to get a big hype up around it? I mean, we hear about a game's priliminary release date MONTHS before it comes out. It's crazy to say it comes out in November.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: What did you think of the clone wars??

« on: August 12, 2003, 08:09:21 AM »

I liked it pretty much. The single player was too short and easy. The best part was the multiplayer. I especially liked the bases or whatever you called it mode, it was sorta like a third person rts. Innovative.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: FF:CC... Best GC RPG?

« on: August 11, 2003, 04:03:20 PM »

Crystal Chronicals is going to be awesome. I have doubts about the best though. There are alot to contend with. I'm looking forward to it as well as Tales of Symphonia. Another good anime style rpg. Can't wait for either of them! Is it true that you HAVE to use the GBAs to play multiplayer? That seems cheap. Nintendo should make games less reliant on the GBA. I want to go to animal island WITHOUT having to go buy a GBA. Sigh.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Super pack games!

« on: August 11, 2003, 03:46:34 PM »

I agree with you Doerr, I would probably only play like one or two games on it if I bought a NES or SNES. It's a shame because those games are so awesome and gamers deserve to be able to play the games that started these amazing series'.

Yeah, salty:BAAAAAAD. I hate playing on greasy controllers. Sometimes I'll play games and eat things like popcorn. Only if it's got alotta cut scenes. Grapes are good too.

I realize this is a rather stupid topic but I thought, what the heck. So here goes. What are you most likely to be eating when you are playing your beloved Nintendo system? Salty snacks? Candy? Fruit? Veggies? Leftovers? A ham sandwhich? A soda? Icecream? Do tell...

Nintendo Gaming / RE: C'mon, Blockbuster and Sears...are GC sales really that low?

« on: August 07, 2003, 02:08:37 PM »

I hate that kind of tyranny. GCN is a great system and it definately shouldn't be excluded. As far as I'm concerned those stores know nothing of video games and just buy whatever is big. ALL GAMES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Come on! EB Games is a very good store though.

Nintendo Gaming / Super pack games!

« on: August 07, 2003, 02:03:44 PM »

Remember the Sonic smash pack? Well, I think it'd be awesome to have a Zelda equivalent! Imagine! It'd have Link's Awakening, etc., etc., etc.. That'd be great. They could do the same thing with Mario games too.

Your thoughts, please.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Best (not a boss or mini-boss) fight in WW?

« on: August 07, 2003, 01:50:31 PM »

I liked the catacombes or fifty chambers or whatever. That was the best. It's cool to charge up your cyclone sword spin thing attack and then know like half of them with one blow. I nearly died in that place.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: idea for a Zelda game

« on: August 07, 2003, 01:39:47 PM »

It wouldn't necessarily be a RTS it would just have the same major battles. That would be a creative touch to have, rather then just you against the world have some people on your side, no smarter then the enemy AI no dumber, just add more color to the game. Turning Zelda into a RTS just isn't right.
    Ocarina Jedi, you did bring up a interesting point. Imagine a SSB style RTS. I don't know how well it'd do but it would be neat. Mass-producing winged-koopas to bomb the enemy base while you used up nearly all your resources to spawn a giant bird of death like the one in WW While chained chomps gaurded the entrance to your castle. Now that would be cool!

This story is just plain dishonor to the Zelda game series.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: idea for a Zelda game

« on: July 30, 2003, 04:20:13 AM »

When you mentioned war it made me think of something. Link has always been on his own saving the world and there's nothing wrong with that but maybe to have a taste of a large scale battle. Link fighting with the knights of Hyrule against the Dark Lord(Ganon). I always love the scenes from D-Day where the soldiers are storming the beach and the shells are hitting the ground throwing dirt everywhere. So picture Link with tons of other knights running towards the enemy soldiers and attacking and then the cannons fire and the arrows launch and mines explode sending them flying. You could assume different positions like stand on top of a small tower on wheels launching arrows and bombs down below. And then it would be caught on fire and you would have to bail out, joining the battle below. That would be a blast.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Zelda is dead

« on: July 30, 2003, 04:07:53 AM »

Ugh I hate hot they changed it to Eggman. Stupid name. Speaking of Sonic. Do you all recall that special Sonic game for GCN including Sonic 1, 2, and 3, Sonic 3D, Sonic Spinball, etc., etc., anyway it was about seven games in one. They should do that with the classic Zelda games. Have Link's Awakening and all that good stuff. That would give a chance for gamers without SNESs or NESs to play the great games of old on their next-gen system.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Just for Kicks...

« on: July 30, 2003, 03:56:33 AM »

I like to use the grappling hook to grab stuff from the Moblins. Oh the looks on there faces! And the steal there sword and then throw it at them from behind. That's great.

The pigs are good too. The only time I actually lost all my health and died(I had a fairy) is when I sliced the pig on Outset. It was hilarious seeing death in the eyes of this giant pig! It chased me around until it cornered me and then kept ramming me until I died. Weeeee!

This story is just wrong. Not right. WRONG! Link is not ghey. He's such a ladies man. I mean think about it. In OOT (he may or may not understand) he meets up with Malon, Saria, Princess Ruto, AND Zelda, of course. This is sick.

General Chat / RE: Name Your future son or daughter.........After A Nintendo Character!

« on: July 29, 2003, 08:08:54 AM »

Thank you Grey Ninja for those pronunciations it helps alot. Also I recently got Ender's Game on tape(a awesome novel go read it!) and when I heard Petra I immediately thought of Tetra from WW. Tetra's a cool name too. And one more thing. Mace, as in Mace Windu from Star Wars, it isn't Nintendo but it's still a cool name.

General Chat / A hilarious link!

« on: July 28, 2003, 04:22:15 PM »

I'm aware that many of you may know of Homestar runner by now but I assure you that if you don't and give it a try and you will love it! It's a FLASH based website filled with tons of hilarious cartoons and a bunch of games too! Just give it a chance! Then spread the word. It's updated weekly so you'll have a good laugh each week too. When you get to the main menu click on a button in the near top left corner that says something like "Here for the first time" then it will just take off from there. Enjoy.

Nintendo Gaming / All time favorite shooter weapon?

« on: July 28, 2003, 02:51:58 PM »

Hey guys, and gals. What's your all time favorite shooter weapon? I'm partial to explosives so I'd have to say the grenade launcher from TS2 is one. Tell me what you think!

« on: July 28, 2003, 02:47:13 PM »

Link is definately my top choice. It's sweet. How abouts Roy, good ol' Roy. From Fire Emblem. That's sorta Nintendo isn't it?  Ness is a interesting name. Maybe Peppy from Star Fox. Can I have the correct pronuciations for Saria and Malon? My friend and I argue about the names all the time. He doesn't have a great record of correctly pronouncing names in the first place so I wanna see if he's right.
