If you didn't like Good Grief, Afternoon Delight, The Immaculate Election, Meet the Veals, Righteous Brothers, Mr. F, Forget-Me-Now, and The Cabin Show, I can't help you...

Nintendo Gaming / RE:No Revolution loving from the analysts.

And also, handheld games are quite different than console games. What I want out of a handheld is simpler games, fun games, old-school games and innovative games which load quickly and do not require a lot of time to be invested in them. And nongamers can relate to these much more, so it would make sense that the DS is doing well. The console market is entirely different; we'll just have to see if Nintendo can translate the success they've had on DS games into the Revolution.

Yes they are, but I don't think many will, since Nintendo isn't..

Well, it does make sense, with the controller and all, and they probably are thinking seriously about developing for the Rev, but they need to know if it would be financially viable... The Rev is an untested console with an unknown userbase. The licensing fees would also be a factor.

I'd say that, unless Nintendo makes a deal with one of these developers to release a game close to launch, they'll wait it out. If/when the Rev has an established userbase and a good software tie-in ratio, we'll see many more of these experimental games.

But then you'll "lose" 12 MORE hours by playing the game

Nintendo Gaming / RE:New black/plat gamecubes superior to old indigo systems?

« on: January 01, 2006, 07:33:36 PM »

Go for it! That's quite a nice collection - all you would need would be 2 more controllers (if you like multiplayer) and some new games. See the "What Game Should I Get" thread at the top of the board. Not influencing you or anything, but *cough* Smash Bros *cough* Eternal Darkness *cough* F-Zero GX *cough* Zelda: Wind Waker *cough* TimeSplitters

Ahem..

You should know that in order to take advantage of the component outlet, you need component cables, which are hard to come by - you would have to import them or get them from eBay too..

You should ALSO know that the Revolution doesn't only play GameCube games, you can also download NES/SNES/N64 games and play those as well. So if you've missed out on some gems, you'll be able to play them, or you could just play A Link to the Past and Super Metroid [/salesman]

I notice you have some Godzilla films in there - have you by any chance watched Godzilla vs King Kong? (I think that's what it's called) Because I watched it a long, long time ago (when I was about 7) and although I don't remember much of it, I've been wanting to know about it for a while now..

Biggest Surprise Runner Up: Incredible amount of support DS has gotten

...

Most disappointing Game: Geist

Oh come on... all previews indicated that it wasn't going to be a 5-Star game - and it wasn't bad for what it was also. I know it had been worked on for a while, but still..

Sleeper Hit: Phoenix Wright

Battalion Wars also deserves consideration

DS Game of the Year Runner Up: Castlevania

Must have been the toughest pick - after Mario Kart look at all of the great DS titles; Kirby, Meteos, Advance Wars, Sonic Rush, Nintendogs, Mario & Luigi 2, Animal Crossing etc

Anyway, you're absolutely right - Sawaru Made in Wario is such a great title, and the way they butchered it is inexcusable.
