Nintendo Gaming / RE: I this true or just a rumor?

« on: May 04, 2003, 05:09:21 AM »

lol IGN xBox is ran by a bunch of xBox fanboys. They are known for giving out ridiculous high scores for xBox games, over rating xbox games and pulling stuff out of their rear behind.

Nintendo Gaming / Marionette

« on: February 17, 2003, 03:47:50 AM »

Dr Synthetic so according to your logic there's no point of doing any sensible guesses
Marionette might be their Code name of ........ OMG Nintendo going 3rd party !!!!

Why ??
Mario = Nintendo
Net = many lines corssing and stuff, means Mario everywhere !!!
te = let's just ignore this mart

So Marionette = Nintendo going 3rd party !!!

who ever say the otherwise you must have got your info. from Iwata or better yet Yamauchi.

And I guess you got this from Iwata during your regular phone conversations, eh?

Anyway.

I believe it's either the codename for their online plans/strategy, or a game itself.  It sounds like it could be a type of online Mario game.

I don't think it has anything to do with puppets at all.  And if it does, it's still *most likely* going to be Mario-related... don't think that the name is a coincidence.

Oh please, don't just flame people because you think you are right, check your dictionary first next time.

apparently Marionette IS a puppet, I don't need Iwata to tell me, because checking out a dictionary is just as easy.

i watched the demo on the Zelda disc, it's really not that bad, maybe because my TV is kinda small, and hopefully great game play will make the game great.

TalkBack / Sega and Sammy to Merge in October

« on: February 13, 2003, 12:06:12 AM »

Well ... it's more like Sammy Owing Sega now.

Sammy might look like a small developer to you, but their other businesses are huge, and since Sega sucking right now, so Sammy is actually larger than Sega.

So it's not Sega getting Guilty Gear X, it's more like Sammy getting Sonic, PDO, PSO, so and so. and the SEGA Name.

in some ways it's kinda like Enix buying Square, where Enix wants to use Squares name so they call it a merger.

Nintendo Gaming / This Zoonami Exclusive Game

« on: February 06, 2003, 02:34:53 AM »

I'd be interested to know what's that, I believe it should be pretty good, after all it looks Nintendo already know about the project and doesn't mind being associated with it. When was the last time Nintendo was being remotely associated with bad game?  

Also acording to Zoonami's webpage it's not another Goldeneye .... (not shooter or racer)

« on: February 02, 2003, 08:12:58 PM »

I don't believe it's intentionally exclusive, but yes GC version is coming first, and with the GBA link feature too, so people with all 3 consoles might want to get the GC version over the other 2.

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube's Appeal to the Teen Audience

« on: February 02, 2003, 08:07:53 PM »

I am pretty sure that Nintendo is not trying to sell gamecube based on the Nintendo name. On the contrary that's what xbox and playstation is doing, playstation is selling crap load of playstation because they are popular, and MS is advertising xBox as the Cool and powerful console everyday.

Nintendo is selling Gamecube with Games, and they are working on it. apparently people will forget whatever Nintendo did in the last year or so. Leasing out their franchise to Sega, Namco is a great start, they get great support fom Capcom. And still no one remembers that. it's like people will forget whatever Nintendo did right, and remembers that Nintendo sold Rare (though I wouldn't see that as a big lose at all, because all they made are essentially Mario clones anyway).

2003 should be the year where the result of Triforce and Capcom support become reality.

Vivendi Universal Games has confirmed a March release for its highly anticipated "Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend" title for Nintendo's Game Boy® Advance handheld.

Combining elements of stealth and platform elements alongside classic Bruce Lee fighting action and trademark moves, the game delivers both a dramatic movie-like story line and fast-paced action.

Vicarious Visions, critically acclaimed for their work on the GameBoy Advance conversions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Crash Bandicoot® has developed a fast-paced 2D action-adventure boasting compelling mission-based levels. Controlling Bruce Lee, who in turn plays the of a skilled martial artist called Hai Feng, players must guide the young student through wave after wave of adversaries as he attempts to find the assassin responsible for killing his master.  

As the game progresses, players must perfect a variety of martial arts moves - including the jaw-dropping fists of fury - and become an expert in the use of knockout darts, the bo staff and nunchakus. Hai Feng's quest sends players across the globe to international locations of mystery and intrigue and is set to become a landmark fighting title for the handheld format.

"'Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend' continues the Universal Interactive tradition of strong character based franchises and quality handheld game experiences," said Nicholas Longano, general manager of Universal Interactive. "Universal Interactive's goal is to create an authentic and compelling Bruce Lee game that extends the Bruce Lee legacy."

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube's Appeal to the Teen Audience

« on: February 01, 2003, 04:58:30 PM »

I have confidence is Nintendo trying to get away from the Kiddy image, and Gameboy Advance SP shows that. although they are on top of the game already, they really don't need to do it, but still they created a cooler looking device to appeal to the older audience.

The problem is not in NCL, the problem is with NOA ..

In some ways it is Nintendo's fault. They got one Killer mature game this Christmas, what did they do ?? they create some wacky commercial for it, I didn't know how bad it was untill I saw the Metroid Ad for Japan. And look, Metroid Prime doesn't even have their own website yet, what is wrong with that picture, the Japanese Metroid website is already up and running before the game is released. Fusion gets it's own website while Metroid Prime doesn't, even Starfox Adventure gets it's own website? is Prime not big enough for a dedicated website ??

Rick if you have any connection within NOA, please kindly inform them that "they suck".
