Nintendo Gaming / Price Cost of "Connecting" Games

« on: May 14, 2003, 12:53:57 PM »

Chances are that I won't buy any of them regardless of cost, as I don't have enough friends

But I would consider it if they were cheaper, like say $30 CAD.

Which explains the universal love for Zelda: Wind Waker.

Nintendo Gaming / Star Fox

« on: May 14, 2003, 12:10:38 PM »

All of my E3 footage has been coming from IGN actually.  I am on a public computer, so I can't get anything from Gigex, or Fileplanet, or anything like that.  It seems to be working fine though, as they haven't put a hold on me yet, and it seems I can download as much of their free stuff as I please.

The Star Fox video can be found here

Nintendo Gaming / FF:CC needs more than one GBA?

« on: May 14, 2003, 12:07:58 PM »

Back on topic here....

IGN Cube reports something strange.  At a pricate FF:CC showing at E3, there were only 3 GBAs available on a FF: CC unit, and a Nintendo rep plugged in a standard controller instead of a GBA in the last port, and the game ran fine.  Will you all please stop whining now?

Anyways, a link to the story.  It's the last paragraph on page 2.

Nintendo Gaming / Star Fox

« on: May 14, 2003, 11:53:56 AM »

In a thread around here somewhere... (I seem to have lost it now, and there doesn't seem to be an existing Star Fox thread) I said that I wasn't too impressed with the new Star Fox game...  I take it back.  

I just watched the full trailer, and I am quite impressed.  It looks a lot different (and better) in full motion.  It's like Star Fox 64... on GameCube.  I read the impressions both here and at IGN, and I guess it plays like Star Fox 64 as well.  What more could you ask for... seriously?

Nintendo Gaming / OFFICIAL Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Discussion

« on: May 14, 2003, 11:19:09 AM »

To the guy who I just noticed was saying that the PSX version of MGS looks just as good as MGS: TS:  Try playing the game again.  Preferrably on a REAL PSX, but an emulator or PS2 will do just fine.  The game looks a million times better.  Not MGS3 good, but definately of GameCube quality.  It's a real pity that SK didn't make it as aesthetically pleasing as MGS3, but I think they have it up to MGS2 levels anyways.  That's a good start.

I just watched the trailer for it though (without sound.  Public computer), and I have to say that the game simply looks like a kick-ass remake of Metal Gear Solid.  I see now what PGC meant in their review of the game.  It was a part that like a total moron... I had forgotten about.  




The enemies that were being killed by someone other than Snake... was of course the part in the long hallway, where Grey Fox was slashing the sh!t out of the guards.

I agree that MGS3 looks a whole lot better, both content wise, and graphically, but I am not about to say that it WILL be better yet.  I want to sample both games first.  If I had a PS2, I would be assuring you right now that I would be buying both games.  As it stands, I will buy MGS3 if it comes to PC (and proves itself to be worth my money), and I will buy MGS: TS for CERTAIN, simply because I am an extreme fan of MGS, and I have faith that SK will do the game justice.  (sigh... 44% on the MGS: TS trailer.)

Anyone have any clue where I can get the new trailer?  IGN's download is insider only, and gamespot's server seems to not be coping that well with the extra traffic.  :/

Nintendo Gaming / nintendo is really heating up!!!!!!

« on: May 14, 2003, 10:12:40 AM »

I've only seen screenshots of Star Fox so far, but I am SERIOUSLY unimpressed with the game from what I've seen so far.  Hopefully video footage will make it look and feel better.  At the moment it looks neither good, nor Star Foxy to me.

Just for a LITTLE bit, can we stop bashing Nintendo, and just enjoy the slew of new games that they are showing us?  Please?

Best Resident Evil game yet?  Does anyone have any problems giving the game that title yet?

Hang on.  I'm downloading the trailer from IGN, but their server is bogged down real bad, and it will take a while.

I'll let you know what I think when I see it.  Has the full 12 minute MGS3 trailer been released yet?  I have been focused on GameCube software, and haven't had time to check PS2 yet.

MGS: TS info

This sounds like a good bet.  All the screenshots of the trailer I have seen have shown bits and pieces from the first 5 minutes of the game.  I have just woken up from sleeping for the last 16 hours, but I am trying to hunt down a video of the trailer right now.  If anyone has a copy, or knows where to find one, please post here, or send me a PM/email.  Much appreciated, thanks.

But from the sounds of PGC's press conference review, it sounds like this is NOT a straight port.  The above post that I quoted might very well be correct.

MGS2 was originally supposed to be much different than it turned out according to some hardcore Metal Gear fans that I know.  The part on the Big Shell was actually supposed to be MGS3, and MGS2 was supposed to be a continuation of the Tanker stage, which would feature a rampaging Metal Gear in NYC.  However, after the events of 9/11, that was cut, and MGS3 was incorporated into the game instead.

I don't know how true this is, but if it IS true, this might be the MGS2 that we were SUPPOSED to see, included into MGS: TTS.

boggy, SH2 and MGS2 were both PS2 exclusive as well.  Splinter Cell also had a 6 month exclusivity thingy going with Xbox, but it was released on PC at about the same time.  A PC isn't a console, and gmaes that are exclusive for a console often are released on a PC.  This is especially true of Konami lately, as they have given us SH2, MGS2 (although I pity the man who buys it), and Shadows of Destiny for PC, and promised us Silent Hill 3 in August (another PS2 exclusive).

I am right positive it is coming out for PC.

Anyways, back on topic after the long MGS3 discussion....

I found a screenshot of Twin Snakes.

Tell me... where can I find this video?  I have been awake for 36 hours now, and it's a 20 minute walk home, but I am willing to walk there and back with a CDR if there's a MGS: TTS video for download somewhere.

Bink, I might write you a long list of reasons why you are wrong, but I don't see why I should bother.  I know that I would simply be ignored because my post would be too long for you to read, or you simply wouldn't care what I thought.  If I thought for half a second that it would do me any good to say why you are wrong, I would post it.  As it is, I simply cannot be baited into posting some long piece of crap post.  You have obviously made up your mind, and nothing I say will change it.  And I don't see why I should even bother trying to change it.

Truthfully, I see no point to this thread whatsoever.  You don't like your GameCube.  Good for you.

Your thread was locked because it was stupid pointless flamebait.  Everyone in the thread told you as such, and the moderators locked it for good reason.  Come back in a few years when you have grown up a little, and you might see things a little differently.

Nay.  Geist is not developed by EAD, although it looks interesting.

Meh.  What can you do.  I will have to get the PC version then I suppose.    Ah well.

And no, I am not debating that you think MGS2 is a good game.  I am debating your statement that many of us hate MGS2 simply because it's not on GameCube.  That statement was just as idiotic as your claim that making the main character of MGS2 an unlikable wuss was a good "feature".  (I am STILL trying to wrap my mind around that.)

Too much wrong with points 1, 2, and 3 to warrant comment.

#4 I simply disagree with, especially in the light that 2 of the 3 games listed aren't even out yet.

Like other people here, I will simply leave it at this:  "I don't care."

I am personally not into games of it's type.  I won't be getting it, as I have no interest in the game, but congrats to everyone who wanted it.
