There's just no way to replace the dpad with an analog stick for portables as far as I can see.

the analog stick could be detachable.....

what about the d-pad Sega made for the Genesis/Satrun? That had 8 directions no problem couldnt they just make ad-pad that works like that?

don't most d-pads have 8 directions?

Woohoo. I assume this is good news, from what I hear of the game. I could never actually find a copy.

Ian, your biases are showing again....

And who would have paid attention to it without any extra incentive? It's a Nintendo franchise game, Nintendo rehashes, so it must suck. That's not good logic but it's the biased attitude a lot of people have.

People paid attention to mario 64 because it was the first well-made 3d platformer and set the standard for 3d game design. The fact that NIntendo was the market leader had little to do with Mario 64's success. The fact that Metroid was a franchise game had little to do with it's (relative) failure....after all, Mario 64 was a franchise game too.

Oh, and you guys can stop arguing about mp3's lock-on now. Gamespot:

The analog stick controlled your movement. The A button let you jump, while the B button fired your weapon. The shoulder buttons on the analog attachment let you switch visors, scan, and lock on to targets, although the lock-on feature was less necessary thanks to the precision firing available via just looking around with the controller. You could shift to the morph ball by pressing the select button on the main controller's face, which felt surprisingly comfortable to do in the middle of action.

One more game's just been confirmed for the rev's launch: "Cars". By THQ. link

I was going to make a new topic about it, but it's so monumentally uninteresting that I thought I'd just say it here.

Everything makes so much sense now

Quote

- After using a 3D ray on all the world which turns everything into 3D, Bowser takes over Peach’s Castle.
- Mario is invited to a party, but it’s just a trap. Events of “Mario 64?
- After the party is saved (and turned into a neverending game series, “Mario Party”), Princess Peach sets up a series of sports tournaments around the mushroom kingdom.
...
- Luigi is jealous that every sports tournament is named after his brother, so after he hears he has won a free mansion he goes off to live alone.
- But the mansion is filled with ghosts, and he has to suck that sh*t away.
- Events of “Luigi’s Mansion”
- Luigi is still pissed.
- Mario is starting to get pretty egotistical, and makes some offhanded comment about how platforming is a mans job. Not fit for girls. Peach storms off, starring in “Super Princess Peach”

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nintendo France confirms Rev controls for Zelda

which is perfectly fine, because is a matter of taste, what gets on my nerves is the "hardcore" zelda gamers who's number one game for the snes or even overall was a link to the past, but cant stand the Wind Waker style, thats just absurd, it makes no sense at all.

Agreed.

People have an annoying tendency to, ah, fool themselves into thinking the zelda games are all about the small portion of the games they latched onto while playing.

You know what I mean. People who say things like 'OOT didn't get good until you became an adult and the dungeons started having blood stains on the walls.'

Or: 'I never saw Link as a stubby disproportioned big headed midget. I saw the sprite and thought he was an elf like you would see in Lord of the Rings.'

...oh, wait, that second one was Ian

Zelda is about childhood and coming of age and the loss of innocence and all that. It's not about you fulfilling your adolescent fantasies by being a badass and beating up badguys in dark, blood stain dungeons.

...At least that's not the only thing it's about.

Oh, I probably went a little too far with my 'fugly' comment. Lttp isn't fugly. It's just that, imo, the added cartoony details detract from, rather than add to, the game. That's why I prefer the original in the visuals department.

This device would be a PSP killer.

Creating a portable that's designed to be a "psp killer" would be like creating a spray that's designed to be a "soap bubble killer". What's the point?

No, the thing with Ocarina is that it was 3D and that simply blew us all away, the graphics themselves took a second stand, the game lacks some sort of art direction like Majora's Mask, the Wind Waker or even the handheld games like the Minish Cap, by any standards is pretty generic, but the added dimension was impressive enough to make the game outstanding.


Bah, generic my eye. Ocarina of time is a beautiful game in every respect: from the color choices to the creature designs. If you want generic, look at Morrowwind. Or Everquest.

Oh, and Link to the Past is fugly. There, I said it.

NWR Forums Discord / RE: My interview with Hank.
« on: February 28, 2006, 07:21:35 PM »
Me: what's coke's secret formula?

Hank : As you can imagine, our flavor formulations are our most valuable trade secrets. As a matter of policy, we do not discuss the flavor composition of any of our products.

me: is soda deadly?

Hank: Soft drinks contribute to the diet in two ways. Because they are predominantly water, they can help quench thirst and meet the body's fluid requirement -- about two quarts of liquid a day. In addition, soft drinks sweetened with sugar provide carbohydrates, which are readily available to the body for quick energy. Although soft drinks make these nutritional contributions to the diet, the company markets them as a source of simple refreshment. Consumers wishing to control their caloric intake can also choose from our variety of low-Calorie soft drinks and bottled water that are available in most markets.

me: I see.

Hank: Ask me some more questions.

me: you have nice eyes

Hank: (laughs) Thank you.

me: will you go out with me?

Hank: No, dates are for people. Besides, my schedule is pretty booked!

me: I hate you.

That wasn't very nice. I'm here to help you with your questions about The Coca-Cola Company.

me: sorry.

Hank: Alright. Please ask me some questions.

me: so...do you like music?

When actress Hilda Clark and opera star Lillian Nordica made advertising appearances for Coca-Cola in the early 1900s, it marked the beginning of a nearly century-long association between music and Coca-Cola. From rock to classical, The Coca-Cola system sponsors concerts, competitions, performances, and promotions that span the spectrum of musical tastes enjoyed by consumers worldwide.

The Heritage Site can show you more about our history.

me: I'm leaving.

Hank: Would you like a transcript of our conversation?

me: you're wearing a wire? you bastard!

Hank: That wasn't very nice. I'm here to help you with your questions about The Coca-Cola Company.

me: goodbye you piece of s***

Hank: Hank: That wasn't very nice. I'm here to help you with your questions about The Coca-Cola Company.

me: Shut up!

Hank:

me: the silent treatment, huh?

me: I do not understand what you are asking. You may want to try rephrasing your question.

me: goodbye

Hank: I hope I see you later. I'm learning every day. And please tell your friends about me.

Are the batteries the same size, meaning that I can plug a 1000 mAh battery into my old DS?

« on: February 27, 2006, 11:18:23 PM »
This is good. This is why the rev will succeed: devs desperatley want to make games for it. You can talk about how publishers have all the real power, but, at the end of the day, droves of creative people who are passionate about making games for this thing will ultimatley equal lots of good games.

It's a pro for Nintendo because there's no demand for another generic Nintendo console. Seriously, who would buy a Nintendo console if it was just like the competition but with weaker technology and almost no third-party support (because what third party would support such a console?)? The N64 sold worse than the SNES, the Gamecube sold worse than the N64. Nintendo needed to change something big in order to have a chance at reversing the trend.

Ian already has this covered. The GameCube didn't fail because it didn't offer anything signifigant over the competition. It failed because of all kinds of stupid mistakes: like having a gigantic and unweildy controller, an ugly and ridiculously large console, and a laclustre launch lineup. Oh, wait, sorry that was the Xbox. Anyway, the point is, if Nintendo did the exact same thing as their other 2 competitors, minus offering dvr functionality and blu-ray support and all that, Nintendo would succeed. Definitley.
