“Movies like Akeelah and the Bee, Bee Season and Spellbound have made spelling bees and word games hot," said Doug Panter, director of brand marketing for Crave Entertainment. “Presenting these games in an entertaining, interactive format on videogame consoles is a great way to make a quick buck."

Fixed.

Forum-goers get (one sentence) game previews before they even hit the front page. Awesome.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:DONKEY KONG COUNTRY!!!!! SUCKS!!

« on: March 19, 2007, 05:22:40 PM »

Funny, Super Mario World is one of the must "playable" of my childhood classics today. That is, I find that it has aged incredibly well. In fact, the early Super Mario games are all "comfort games" to me that I can still have fun with after all these years.

I suspect nostalgia has a big impact on what games remain fun. Would I enjoy the Power Rangers game for SNES if I didn't have such fond memories of playing it with my best friend? Maybe, but not as much. Still, there have been games where I go back and think, "this is terrible"--my apologies to Mickey Mousecapade.

Looking back, Donkey Kong Country is a pretty boring game. Not awful, not great.

I enjoy well-made video game music.

By the time I come up with a character, it will be April.

Ceric: I failed to get Plan 9 going on my system last time I tried. I simply must get it running some time!

Nintendo Gaming / RE:NuGHTS is being revived on Wii

« on: March 18, 2007, 11:55:03 AM »

A rag doll is too lifeless for a flying game like NiGHTS. Having the character follow the cursor might work, but dragging the character wouldn't allow the fluid motion of the original.

This game would be really cool if it didn't require the sensor bar so one doesn't have to work within the confines of the screen as much. Being able to move your character around with broader motions would be neat.

Oddly enough, I just got my copy of NiGHTS for Saturn yesterday in the mail, but didn't pick it up until today. I am enjoying it so far, but the stupid joker boss is tough. Darn cards!

Anyway, Sega will probably mess up the game in some way. Prove us wrong, please.

I really need to play Majora's Mask. That's probably the game I regret selling the most. I only beat two dungeons of it, and now I want to have at it again. Maybe when I'm not broke I will pick it up.

I just want the story line to be easier to follow than Twilight Princess. It has been only months since I finished the game and when I look back, the story is all a blur.

Probably. I'm not well-versed in many of the classic Unix tools, I'm afraid.

I really hope the controls turn out all-right here. Animal Crossing's touch screen controls left a sour taste in my mouth (hence their infrequent use). Hopefully this game will be different. I like the map and boomerang ideas, but moving around and sword-slashing could be a problem. I should read more hands-on impressions...

Yeah the worlds were different, although interconnected. I think Pap meant something more along the lines of both having many (near-)identical characters and using the same Link. Majora's Mask had not-so-subtle influences from OoT all around it. It will probably be the same case with Phantom Hourglass.

Edit: I hope they improve the Link model too.

I'm pretty sure that Ganon makes an appearance in the Oracle games after you beat/link both of them as well as an allusion to him in the final boss of Link's Awakening. I do not think Ganondorf appears (or is even referenced) in any of the handheld games.

General Gaming / RE: Since it's MAR10 today, what Mario games will you play or replay today?

« on: March 10, 2007, 05:58:10 AM »

Weekends often include late night Mario Bros 3 or SMW playing, so there will be nothing out of the ordinary for me.
