OR if they aren't eBay-savvy and don't know what it is and/or don't want to go throught the hassle

OR they don't trust Internet buying/selling

OR they didn't know about the promotion, and thoght it was a random signature on their Cube

OR...

Well, you'd need to delete the background, but I don't think Paint can do that... maybe there's an option where you can select what you want and save that selection only, but I'm not sure..

Well, Eternal Darkness is pretty hard to find new... I've actually seen it in a few stores in the past 6 months or so, but it's definitely rare. And it's even hard to find a new copy online.

Go to the top of your page and click "profile"

Then, go down, and where it says "External Icon" put in the name of the site where the image is.

Yeah I remember that peripheral where you could attach it to 2 GBAs and it would work up to 3 miles, but sorry, I can't really remember what it was called.

Camelot - works on incredibly redundant Mario sports games. Nintendo needs an original RPG, these guys are experts at that, but instead they work on Mario games EAD could have made themselves.
Namco - works on Star Fox and Mario Baseball.
Sega - works on F-Zero.

What's the point of making deals with other developers if they're not going to contribute any of their unique expertise to the project?

Slow down there, Ian... You're missing the key point - many of these developers wouldn't support the Cube at all if they weren't given Nintendo franchises. they were definitely wary of making their own games for the system, given the Cube's lack of success in sales with 3rd party titles. Nintendo's mascots would give them assured sales. And the reason Nintendo lent their characters to the 3rd parties was so that they could strengthen relationships with them, which would hopefully lead to more games on Nintendo systems, especially the Rev.

Also,

Camelot - making a Rev-exclusive RPG, presumably for launch
Namco - Gave us Tales and Baten Kaitos when no other dev would give the Cube RPGs
SEGA - Have repeatedly said they want to support the Rev, and that a Nintendo console is now Sonic's "spiritual home"

I really like your camera control ideas for the NRC - they're brilliant. What you described would be completely intuitive and it would help the gameplay so much more. One questoin, though. In "Up C" mode, is there a way to lock the camera? Because it would be nice to run around and control the camera so extensively, but what if you want to lock it in one specific place? When you use the C-Stick, you set the angle and then it stays there. With this setup, I didn't see a way to keep it in once position.

Also..

-- D-padDon't get confused, if you have your bow out, you can "pull the arrow back", although you won't want to in many situations. You'll most likely want to fire quickly. To do so, you hold the same direction on the D-pad that selected the bow, then press "B" button. So it's somewhat of a combo move to fire. The reason for doing this is to allow you the ability to pull back the arrow if you'd like. To do that, you hold the bow button then pull back the controller to fire, then press "B" to release.
But that brings up the whole debate about whether these controls actually help the game or if they are just there to make it different but don't really improve the system. The example you gave was that instead of just shooting the arrow (which you still incorporate), you would pull back the controller and press B to fire it. You even said yourself that you won't want to pull it back in many situations. A

So how does the motion sensitivity in this case actually help? Sure, you can specify how hard you want to pull the arrow back, but you could do that just as easily with a normal button depending on how long you press the button. And also, it's quicker the traditional way, and many times in Zelda games you need a quick bow.. Nintendo needs to show that the NRC is THE way to control the game, and once you use it, traditional methods won't even be able to hold a candle to it.

« on: December 25, 2005, 05:00:15 PM »
Well, the obvious is to have the A as the context sensitive/ attack button (unless you have to use the NRC to perform those actions) and the B trigger as something to do with the sword. Then the L1 (Z1?) would be used for lock-on targetting and L2 would be used for shield. The D-Pad would be used for items and up would be first person view. When using some or all of the items, the motion sensing is needed to aim (hookshot, bow etc) or throw or what have you.

HOWEVER, this isn't drastic enough, and the whole thing is not worth it if Nintendo delays the game just to add this. That's why I'm curious to see how Nintendo handles it, because it's one of their flagship titles and if they mess it up, the Rev will already look bad. I'm admittedly not good at thinking out of the box, so I'd like to see everyone else's ideas.

Midway Arcade Treasures 3 (I missed some of these games on my N64)
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Collection
Sonic Gems Collection

I must say that I am happy. I need to find somewhere to get the Hori Digital Controller (preferably off-line)
Whoa... so many compilations! Hope you're planning on getting a Rev..

The Rev needs an RPG, and FFCC should definielty not be it. Raven Blade needs to be brought back to life.
Well, there's the Camelot RPG, which should be good. And I'm sure Nintendo is trying as hard as they can to get some RPG love from Square and Namco, among others. Possibly Dragon Quest?

EDIT: I just remembered...Japanese crap - gotcha.

It would be cool though if this was the first first party game that was multiple discs.
Not happening... Nintendo is extremely proud and won't admit that it was wrong to go with a smaller medium, and that two discs are needed for a game. Same as why all their games on the Rev WILL use the NRC...

Besides, Nintendo are the masters of squeezing games into meda.
