General Gaming / RE: Could Nintendo partner with their competitors on a future console?

« on: June 23, 2007, 03:00:28 PM »

Slim to none.

While PS3 may not be doing well so far, or as well as PS usually does, Sony has stated that the system will have a life of around 10 years. So "PS4" is a many a years away anyway. . .

As for Xbox, Microsoft doesn't have to make money. It'll stick around because it can, it doesn't need to be a financial success. MS wants more market share and all that fun stuff and to try and  someday dominate the other consoles. I said it with the original Xbox, no matter how bad the Xbox (original) did when it came onto the scene, MS would keep it alive just to gain ground in a new market.

I don't think at this point Nintendo would partner with another company, even Apple (although I like both companies I don't think that will ever happen), it just wouldn't make much sense to now seeing as how the Big N is doing on it's own.

But that's just my two cents.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Guilty Gear Officially Announced For America

The only downside to the game (or so it seems) from video clips is the new announcer voice lol. "Heaven or Heal . . . duel 1 . . . LETS ROCK" just doesn't sound as cool as it once did. Which is a minor thing so who cares haha.

Aside from that it looks to be another kick ass GGXX.

Oh and I too will be sticking with a classic controller on this one heh.

I will never forget working t Toys R Us when the original Xbox launched. The in store system within the first two months had to be replaced 6(!!!) times.

Lol the great EV discussion continues!

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes
5) Each Jolteon used the same held item

and lastly: yeah I know it is random but literally every hit with the weaker Jolteon would one shot the opposing Infernape. Now on the same infernape with the EV Jolteon (again numbers higher than the other Jolteon) he would always fall short of one shoting the infernape by around 15 hitpoints.

and yes I'm positive it was maxed out.

It doesn't matter much anymore now though, it will forever boggle my mind. . . . the only EV trained guys I have kept are Arcanine, Gallade and Ludicolo. Upon restarting my game I decided to use 3 new guys in my final team and I'll see how that goes ^_^, onward to badge 4 . . . again!

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Pokemon Battle Revolution--is it worth it?!

« on: June 21, 2007, 06:22:48 PM »

@Shecky: I was thinking the same thing.

@Arbok: Maybe but after playing Planet Puzzle League I would at LEAST like the option to play against random people. Random battle in PPL is so much fun and TBH it would add a lot to the pokemon game if it had such an option. Not everyone hacks =)

Just thought I would like to add . . .

Why doesn't nintendo take the opportunity (I mean charing 50 dollars for the game and all) to make Battle Rev the first "online" pokemon game with leader boards or a scoring system or something. Nintendo should REALLY start capitalizing on the online possibilities with Pokemon . . . if not in the form of an MMO then with some structured battle league to make competing against others seem all the more awesome.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Wii and Naruto Taisen 4 compatibility... controllers

« on: June 21, 2007, 04:09:39 PM »

It's been answered but:

1. Yes and yes. HOWEVER before my Wii's firmware updated my Freeloader worked . . . then a week after playing NGTNT4 with my friend we went to go play again. . . sure enough it no longer worked. I have a very old verion of freeloader though so my guess is a firmware update stopped mine from working. The latest version should work though.

2. No, when any Gamecube game is played on Wii the system becomes a Gamecube. Hence it can't recognize the Wifi controllers and thus you must use the GC controllers. The gameplay is extremely good with the GC controllers.

3.It'd say yes (if you're comparing it to EX).

4. I wouldn't know, I always use the classic controller for VC games.

"t's absurd to pay $30 to beat a game just to unlock difficulty options."

No I'm sorry . . .

absurd is buying Wario Ware on Wii and having to beat the entire game to unlock MULIPLAYER.

The only real awesome 'feature' of this game that makes me want it is the random online battle feature. Which, IMHO, should have been on the DS version.

Yeah I know everything there is needed to be known about EV's Caterkiller. That's why it makes no sense as to why a statistically weaker pokemon (my original Jolteon) hits HARDER than my EV'ed statistically higher Jolteon. Again the numbers all match up to what the EVs should be doing but the outcome didn't.

As for Dragonite, he just used normal moves (no items went off while he did the moves nor was the move an extreme speed or quick attack style move).

It's weird I know so like I said don't bother with EVs . . .lol.

It's been a while and I don't remember just how difficult the GC version was compared to this but I don't feel the difficulty is all too easy. That's not to say it is overly hard but it's at a level where the game still feels fun.

If anything it makes me want to play through on hard mode more so than before and hey added replay value is always a good thing =).

According to Wikipedia it got a 66% average rating out of 28 reviews. Couldn't find the sales numbers though.

Fun fact of the day: It's made by a canadian company called  Backbone Entertainment and not sonic team.

The umbrella chronicles trailer was pretty sweet NeoThunder =)

I must say I am VERY happy I traded in some games to get RE4: Wii Edition. I had it for Gamecube a while back and am happy to have purchased it again. The controls are way more fun with the Wiimote.

I am a little sad knowing RE:5 isn't set to come out on Wii after seeing how much better RE4 is with the Wiimote controls, oh well.

"Umm, ok... it's true that if your stupid with security then your asking for trouble, but proper OS security will protect the system from stupid users (and from "malware")"

Couldn't agree more Shecky.

I used to own Windows based computers and while I never had a problem with the OS my parents and sister would often do *something* that would compromise the computer. However, upon switching them to OS X they haven't had a single issue and i've been headache free =).

Given Sega's horrible track record as of late it's hard to take their opinion of things seriously.

Nintendo's gamble in expanding the market payed off in a big way with DS and Wii and I will be the first to admit, when DS first came out I was annoyed. I didn't see the advantage of the touch screen. Yet, when the system matured and we started getting quality games that take advantage of the screen (Elite Beat Agents was my system serller) you can see just how revolutionary new methods of play can really open up doors. New game possibilities come to light and the market expands, it's a good thing.

Wii will have the same thing, right now there are some decent games that take full advantage of the Wiimote but IMHO none are really as fun as Wiisports. But hey the system is young. If the Wii goes like the DS (which I think it will) eventually developers will start to grasp the unique control set up more and we will have games that can only exist on the Wii that are insanely fun and superior to any traditional controlling game.

I still say a great example of this would be a Star Wars Light Saber battle game, if made well it would probably be one of the coolest (albeit geekiest lol) games for the system, and hey you can't do that on 360 of PS3.

Breaking the mold is a good thing and truthfully the Wiimote is a step in the right direction to making better games. It isn't a fad, just a step towards how games will be played in the future.

Yep even ask Shast, really bummed me out that all the effort really didn't do much.

Good question about the EVs sticking around, I assume they do (since all pokemon do have EVs as they level) but yeah they don't matter as much as I thought they would I guess.

I'm playing through the game again from the beginning (yep I restarted) to just have more fun with it this time around and to remake half my team and re-use some TMs and such that I already wasted previous. I did keep 3 of my EV guys though that I liked (Gallade, Arcanine and Ludicolo). So we'll see what happens next time around =).

Well I'm comfortable with all of them but stats are deceiving (example: shast's dragonite has way less speed than my aerodactile but it was still faster than my guy). Another example is my NON-EV trained Jolteon could one shot shast's Infernape, but with my EV trained Jolteon it would always fall short of one shoting him.

Numbers wise the EV trained Jolteon is leaps and bounds above the other Jolteon . . . so why is the non-ev trained one better?

Things like that confuse me.

The most frustrating aspect was the speed EV'ed pkmn I had. Aerodactal being slower than well everyone he faced pretty much ruined the way my team worked, so I am going back through the game with a team w/ pkmn I will enjoy rather than just "statistically good" pkmn.

I'm surprised at how little EV training actually does (considering it's so highly touted on other sides as 'essential' to winning).

The moral of the story: don't waste your time EV training: it's pointless.
