Hehehe, Lets not get angered *cough*Billy*cough* But Wario Ware Touched, Touch 'n Go and Canvas Curse should keep you busy for awhile (in my opinion) I have lost interest in Mario though.....

My stupid store doesn't have this game yet.

"We have two on order." she says.

Two on order my foot. They have effing Batman Begins for sale on shipping date, but they can't have KCC?

...at least I have WarioWare Twisted to tide me over.

after playing this game some more, i think it will only give me a month or two worth of playing...which isnt bad for 35$, but i want something that makes me wanna play play play and play...

ok, i mean
kcc will give me about 30 hours of gaming till i get bored (im already getting a tad bit tired with it...not MUCH viriety in it*

i want a game thats going to give me like 70 hours + (like i think all the ff games have done)

...a long, epic, real time battle multiplayer RPG with a pet you can raise from infancy.

Hell, I'd buy it!

What 2D platformer lasts 70 hours?

NONE.

Duh.

Mario · « **Reply #31 on:** June 16, 2005, 06:02:53 AM »

I've played a few 2D platformers for more than 70 hours.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #32 on:** June 16, 2005, 06:29:08 AM »

I have played some 2D platformers for way over 70 hours, BUT I beat them in much less time...the game just had tons of replay.

Those games are:

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World

Ok...platformers that is all that I can remember.

Does anybody have a link to the commercial for this game? Everyone seems to be saying it's quite bad, but I want to see it for myself before I say anything.

Artimus · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2005, 10:59:43 AM »

Got this yesterday and I'm enjoying it so far. The time trials/paint trials are really fun to play! I wish there was multiplayer for like the racing game, but that's ok!

The ad is available at Nintendo.com's game page. I personally think it's hilarious

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2005, 11:07:16 AM »

Uh oh, not mature enough! (Seriously, it's a great ad...)

Artimus · « **Reply #36 on:** June 18, 2005, 11:37:05 AM »

I love the ad because it's intentionally lame. If Sony ever did an ad like that it'd be called the funniest thing ever. Except for the Mario Sunshine ad, the big suit ads are the best. Who can forget Animal Crossing's take on the Real World? Or Super Smash Brothers Melee's brawl?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #37 on:** June 18, 2005, 01:10:45 PM »

Or the Mario Party house party? Nintendo has best ads.

This game rawks, just got it today. I'm obsessive about getting all the stars and whatnot, it's great.

THE MARIO SUNSHINE AD WAS AWESOME

darknight06 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 18, 2005, 02:38:45 PM »

Well, I saw the ad and all I'll say is that the Japanese TV advertisement was much better not to mention more relevant.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #39 on:** June 18, 2005, 05:42:09 PM »

Then you completely don't grasp the idea of advertising...It's not to be relevant, but to catch the consumer's attention...And this definitely does the trick...

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #40 on:** June 18, 2005, 06:18:01 PM »

Yeah, you want the veiwer to notice the ad, and then have the ad stick in their mind. That's why so many commercials are stupid and annoying- the people remember the ad and then tell everyone how stupid and annoying it is. There's no such thing as bad plublicity. Nintendo just needs to get the word out, and they've been doing a great job with the DS so far.

Just commenting again on how hot this game is. It took a little while to get used to the controls, so it was a little slow at first, but now the controls feel great even at frantic speeds

Nintendo with their for-kids image that kills their sales begs to differ. Oh, and what about Acclaim? Those guys had some bad publicity. Howard Scott Warshaw and John Romero also had to experience what "bad publicity" means.

TMW · « **Reply #42 on:** June 18, 2005, 08:51:13 PM »

Michael Jackson, anybody?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #43 on:** June 19, 2005, 04:12:05 AM »

OKAY FINE. I guess I didn't think that one through too much

I just meant that if if people don't like Nintendo's ads, they will complain. Whether or not they complain or praise, they're still getting the word about the game, which is why they're advertising in the first place. I know "bad commercials" are a big discussion topic round these parts.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #44 on:** June 19, 2005, 05:44:28 AM »

Except most casuals are so unsure of themselves they will declare N as "homosexual" or "for kids" (obviously in a wording PGC newspeak does not permit) after seeing those ads and will insult people who buy Nintendo stuff.

Mario · « **Reply #45 on:** June 19, 2005, 07:07:36 AM »

150 million kids bought a Gameboy.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #46 on:** June 19, 2005, 09:33:48 AM »

Many managers bought them too. It probably wasn't because they thought the ads were "funny".

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #47 on:** June 19, 2005, 10:04:04 AM »

Besides, the DS is a new system. In my mind it's better to have people think poorly about the DS then to not have them think about it at all. It's better that they know it exists, because then there's a chance they'll buy one. Since the DS is also targetting non-gamers to the max, they won't care if a commercial is tiku! or not, but now they know that it's out there. Especially since the PSP is the DS's competition; a casual gamer is less likely to buy a PSP because of it's price (the fact that it does so many things may actually deter people who become confused easily).

Now, obviously a positive buzz is better than a negative one, but it's still a buzz. These commercials make some people laugh, and others scowl, but either way if they tell their friends they're getting the word out. Personally, I love the "big-suit" commercials, so I'm spreading a positive buzz. You're right about people being weak and insulting people for buying Nintendo stuff, but I don't think that it's really a problem with the DS, it was mainly the GC. I mean, even the pathetic people who did that stuff owned a GBA.

Also, we are very off topic. This game rocks, buy it, you'll love it.

There's a big difference between reputation and publicity.

Instead of trying to be all creative or whatever and make the commercials funny, they should show more gameplay and maybe scores/quotes recieved by game magazines or sites. The bad thing about the Kirby commercial is that the only people who GET the commercial are the ones who already have the game.
