Nintendo Gaming / Re: Nintendo says they're working to address Wii storage issues

« on: June 19, 2008, 08:00:04 PM »

I don't like the idea of online storage entirely because it gives Nintendo too much control over what we've purchased.  They shut down the server and *poof* there goes the VC games you paid for and they'll just use some bullsh!t "you pay for a licence to use it" crap that companies use these days.  Companies WANT to be able to "breaK" their product from afar and make you buy a new one.  That's the whole point of this "licence to use" stuff.  Having an album on CD or a movie on DVD or a game on a disc is no good because if I take care of the copy I own I don't have to pay them for it every again.  Hell Nintendo loses business from me because I still have SNES cartridges.  I haven't bought any GBA re-releases of SNES games and have only bought one VC game.  That's no good for them.  They want me to buy those games over again.

At least now one can keep all their VC games on SD cards and hang on to physical copies of the game.

Who says adding online storage would be at the expense of the existing SD card storage?  Not that I particularly like the idea, as it's only slightly more convenient than just redownloading from the shop channel. :/

I didn't say the issue was if the game will get published.  What I was getting at was if they've got a bunch of publishers coming to them you'd think they'd have a good chance of getting the support of a competent one.

In the interview Maxi posted, they said that a lot of publishers have come to them regarding the game.  Seem to me that they're in pretty good shape as far as getting the game published goes.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: MegaMan X Collection (Gamecube)

You're thinking of the MegaMan Anniversary Collection, dead.  Bob's talking about the X collection, which has fully customizable controls.  The only negative I've noticed with it is that X3 is the PC version or something, which I guess is an improvement in some ways, but the charge sound bugs me.

I don't care about being special, I just never see anyone talk about SeaMonkey.  It's always Firefox Firefox Firefox.

Hardcore Gaming 101 seems to indicate that 2 and 4 are the best in the SS series.  Confirm/deny?

SeaMonkey owns firebadger.

I thought I was the only one who used SeaMonkey.

Some of the screens are certainly better than others.  But some of them are just downright ugly.  I think they need to work on their lighting.

I don't know why Nintendo picked 43 MB as the WiiWare limit, but Majora's Mask would almost certainly be over that, being a 64 MB cartridge.

Wikipedia says it's 256 megabits (32 megabytes).

Rat, people are putting down this game's graphics because in spite of the devs' bragging, there are much prettier games on the Wii.

Shush.  It might be fun even though it's a lot uglier than they seem to think. D:

Considering that the Wii's potential for FPSs was a big reason for my excitement for the console in the first place, I don't mind being pandered to in this case.

Faxanadu, and Terranigma. Oh, and I also want Gameboy and Gameboy Colour games too.

It took this many posts to list this?  Everyone else fails... =(

I implicitly listed it. ):

I'd like a taste of Link's Lon Lon milk, if y'know what I mean.

I'd like to show Link my Master Sword, if you catch my drift.

I'd like to make Link's cuckoo attack, if you dig what I'm saying.

They need to de-uglify everything if you ask me. :/  Their lighting is too harsh, and their fancy normal mapping seems to be at the expense of texture quality.

I think that's fairly obvious. :b  I would just find the customization more appealing if the underlying shooter gameplay looked more interesting.

The concept of assimilating downed enemies is pretty cool, but the gameplay video I watched at IGN didn't look too appealing to me.  It looked sort of... haphazard to me.
