Must... not... watch... video.
That's it. I won't do it. And I won't come back to this thread until I get my hands on the game.
See you.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Official "Virtual Console Mondays" Thread
« on: October 20, 2007, 04:32:24 PM »
No, I don't like RPGs. Though it isn't a turn-based one, is it?
QuoteWell, you could always try, eh? And if that doesn't work, you could ask your American friend for his credit card number, then Paypal him the money or something. If he trusts you enough.
I think I've asked this question before but I don't remember the answer: is it possible to use a foreign credit card for the US VC?
I may want to buy Sin & Punishment, I hate virtual content but since the cart is going for like 30-50 bucks everywhere...
Thanks!

Wow, it amazes me how people have money to throw away at games that they don't even open.. at least wait until you are able to play it, and by then the price could be lower, too.

« on: October 18, 2007, 07:47:37 PM »QuoteHmm.. that makes sense. I was kind of surprised when I heard that figure, since Japan usually likes their 2D Mario games more than the 3D ones.
Those are retailker pre-orders IceCold, 700,000 at first.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
« on: October 18, 2007, 07:32:28 PM »QuoteWorldwide, not at all. Sunshine sold about 6 million on the Cube of all consoles, while Halo 2 sold around 8 million. That was when there was all that irrational bashing on Sunshine, and when Nintendo's mindshare was at an alltime low.
ANYWAY, wouldn't it be hilarious if Mario Galaxy outsold Halo 3?
Considering the phenomenal success of New Super Mario Bros and the incredible popularity of the Wii (plus the above average software tie-in ratio), it's just about the perfect time for Galaxy to make a killing in sales. The only thing stopping it would be a shortage of hardware.
Hell, it already has like 500,000 preorders in Japan last I checked. That's more than even NSMB and Animal Crossing DS got.
Not to mention when it comes to sales, longevity is key - Halo 2 and 3 exploded out of the gates, but 2 hit a brick wall shortly after. I expect 3 to sell quite a bit more, but it won't really have legs.

Is that the best the 360 could sell? It's only ~250,000 more than last month, which confirms what we've all been saying - Halo 3 isn't really pushing systems, as most people who want it have a 360 already. It sold 3.3 million copies yet it only moved a few hundred thousand systems at best. Now we have no reason to believe that it will ever outsell the Wii again in Canada and the US.

« on: October 18, 2007, 05:42:44 PM »QuoteWell, you're the one who doesn't read reviews and relies on forum users when you choose which games to buy, right? I'm surprised you didn't get Jungle Beat then - the reviews were mediocre but on this very forum most of us were gushing about it. During some of the levels, when you're stringing combos and feeling invincible, it's the closest to gaming bliss you could get last generation.
I need to get this jungle beat game.

TalkBack / RE: Over 15 Characters in Sega Superstars Tennis
« on: October 18, 2007, 02:33:36 PM »QuoteI've had this hope since the controller was revealed, except in a different way. I thought that the innovation would spark something in SEGA, and since so many of their franchises (especially the arcadey-style ones) are perfectly suited to the controller, their game quality would turn around.
My hope, a hope that is almost certainly not going to be what happens, is that Nintendo's influence will not only make Mario & Sonic at the Olympics good, but be what turns Sega around and into a force to be reckoned with again.
Think about it - Panzer Dragoon, NiGHTS, arcade racers, light gun games, Samba de Amigo, Shenmue, sports games etc etc. So far they've actually gone ahead with quite a few of these projects, but unfortunately they aren't looking too hot.
I'm holding out for Panzer Dragoon - it will be announced sooner or later, and it will be awesome.

This is the goal metric, how much fun does the game provide. I don't buy games for their creativity, their graphics or their game mechanics, I buy them for the fun that results out of the combination of all of these aspects. If aesthetic experience is what gives you enjoyment then by all means base your rating on it! However, don't pretend we have to be snobby about some external value like "artistic merit" and rate that over enjoyment. If you didn't enjoy it, say so, don't pretend that the art must be experienced despite being unpleasant to play.

NWR Forums Discord / RE: AUUUUUGH COLORBLIND! (MAYBE)
« on: October 18, 2007, 01:57:21 PM »QuoteOdd - every eye test I've had included a quick colourblind test.
And I've never had an eye appointment where they've specifically looked for color blindness. And I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade.
Quote
Well the thing about colourblindness is taht it works teh same was as haemophilia. If your dad has it, then neither you OR any of your siblings can get it. However, if you have a sister, any male children of hers have a 50/50 chance of colour blindness, if their father is colourblind then they'll run the risk of producing a colour blind female, who is garrunteed to infect all her male children with colourblindness and turn all females into carriers.
QuoteSpooky.
Colour Blindness is the strangest thing, I think it's msotly in the head. For example with the purple paper. I was finishing it off in the class before it and a girl leans over "is there a reason why you're writing in purple" and I looked back at my paper and SUDDENLY the ink that was blue, was now purple. I just replied "please don't laugh at me"

« on: October 17, 2007, 07:11:13 PM »QuoteThat's basically the industry standard, but NWR has been giving games like you just described 5s instead of 7s recently.
A 7 for me has more critical shortcomings that muck up what aspects of the game are fun, making it at least a rent-before-you-buy.
