Nintendo Gaming / I would like to know....

« on: May 11, 2005, 12:37:43 PM »

will everyone here be more or less keeping their nicks they have here for online gaming with The Revolution?? (it's so great to finally be able to ask that!)

I will be...so if anyone's got a problem with me, I invite them to bring it! and it better be your A-game biz-snatch!


Mostly though, I am just wondering who here thinks they are really good and can not only proclaim it now, but can back it up later as well.  

I want to see...

We're all Nintendo fans and we're bound to run into each other right? Who's got what it takes to make claims now and who will hide under an new alias later? I've read what champs write over the internet in my time and you're just a chump!
Oh, wait. I jumped the gun there.

So who? Who? Who can defeat the great El Nino?

Yeah, but it's better than nothing at all and in say SSB:M it wouldn't matter but then again that is just one game (but it is the best-selling GC game also)

The picture is definitely fake but I do believe that Nintendo does have the intention to make this happen and knows that it would only serve to benefit them. I wouldn't worry.



EDIT: I just saw Don'tHate's wavebird comment. That does sound like a better idea. Good one DH!

Also, you could have a zoom feature for the multiplayer screen problem. It would have to be not unlike TV's when it comes to attempting to fix formatting differences but then it would have to be more advanced and allow for you to actually make the square or rectangle that would be made to fit in the entirety of the screen. Of course there would be the problem of pixelation but on a tiny screen it wouldn't make too much of a difference.  The only real problem would be when the match is over and it reverts back to a menu screen (you wouldn't be able to see it all) or even any little cinematics or replays during gameplay (ala Mario Tennis). This seems impossible...

...but then again there could be a quick-switch button to switch back to normal for that little amount of time, then to switch back for more gameplay!

Again, not perfect but better than nothing.

Sweet.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Will it be called the Nintendo Revolution?

what's a chode?

They should name it the NEO

I can't think of what the "O" would stand for but I can't seem to get the word orfice out of my head. I don't know why....
I don't think that would be a good name though.

Paladin, it's cool but you don't know nearly as much as you think. I also don't appreciate the "hissy fit" comment because just because you said it doesn't make it true, you're only justifying things to yourself and as it just so happens, you're the only one with the loop. So I didn't respond well to your lame humor. I don't care.


Nile Boogie...yeah I know! I'm so excited about this game. Not only have I not played any of the console version of this (I got discouraged by the first one's linear level design and limited movements for the character which I have read have now both been addressed), but I just truly feel that this genre or any genre in general that is heavily inventory based can benefit greatly from a touchscreen, you know?


Paladin: Ok, that's enough....this isn't me. I'm just playing with ya now dawg. Let's chill! Hee-hee, couldn't help it....you're cool.
     
Yeah, I was wondering about that outline as well.  I take it you haven't played CT on a console then? Anyone...what is that?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: The Next 1080

« on: May 11, 2005, 11:32:21 AM »

I hear ya Don'tHate

sorry, but my two cents is I'd rather have them focus completely on WR and forget about 1080. It seems like a lost cause now anyways.

Unless they made it outlandish (not in the goofiest of ways but goofy indeed), then there might be room for it.  Just able to do outlandish things (not flashy crap like in SSX tho) in an over-the-top interactive course.....think Matrix snowboarding with lively courses and bears.....

..tons of bears.

I dunno.

About multiplayer...

could it be at all possible, that they could (since there would have to be a cartridge slot for backwards compatibility) make a boot-cartridge to initiate WiFi in the new GB that would in essence, make the system use other close-by GB's as if they were simply other controllers plugged into the Gamecube? (when it came to Gamecube games)

Hmm....why not?

Wouldn't that solve the multiplayer issue with backwards compatibility?

whatever, someone can't point out cynicism without being cynical? your loophole logic might fly with you but even by your own logic....what about you now?

yes I was being negative about the negativity, that doesn't mean I'm a cynic. Look it up. For the self-proclaimed position you supposedly hold here you should be smarter than that.

It was just ridiculous how everyone yelled fake as well as how everyone expected the same craptastic version the N-gage got right off the bat.  How about a little optimism? Am I the one exhibiting jaded negativity?

Nope, just the one pointing it out.....

hudson, why don't you read Mario's first post in this thread then reconsider your stance on this posibility.

Include the "there's a massive rumor floating around the internet" quote by Reggie and I do not think that it takes much more to be quite sure that this new GB might very well be capable of doing quite a bit.

there are risks both ways, but it seems much more reasonable to take the risks for the benefits in Mario's post than to fold to the in-the-long-run petty issues you stated. The win-win-win situation for third parties having not just one system, but three possible systems to sell their software on, one with an already pre-existing userbase is more than reason enough.  It's also an extremely brilliant political move for Nintendo considering their needing to win third-parties back over.

Besides, backwards compatibility isn't 100% guaranteed to be problem-free, but if it's even remotely close it's a much better thing than none at all.

Oh, and also I just don't care for your cynicism.  There are always pros and cons but the pros definitely win in this case and one should actually take them into consideration as well before coming to a conclusion.
