Who owns this game and still appreciates (and plays) it as I do?

*raises hand*

I do! I love Wave Race: Blue Storm! Its brilliant. One of my favourite games, easily the best racing game on water. After i got it i played it like a madman every single day for months, now i only play it about once a week, but it's still fun! If only it had more options and modes, it sucks how you cant even do a single race and choose which track you want to do.

still worth a late purchase for around 20€?
I just got Pikmin new for 12,50€

Really fun getting old but good games on Ebay for mega cheap prices

I love that game, the only problem is, once you have become very good at the game, it's too easy. In hard mode I am able to finish every single race at 1st place. But it still is a great game. I want a sequel but highly doubt we'll ever get one.

It wouldn't be hard to make a sequal; optimize the graphics and physics engine, give greater track variety (like racing downhill on a river then going off a waterfall), a stunt mode more like Excitebike 64's, and online play.

Great game. Haven't played it in a while though. You can get it for about $20 now for those who don't have it.

XPlay just had a segement on a new Sea Doo racer that accually has water physics that fights against you. I just sat there and thought that's nothing new they did it with Blue Storm.

I still have it and play it from time to time. Wave Race 64 was my favorite N64 game, and Blue Storm is one of my favorite GCN games.

bloody hell, its still $100 here in australia, i wish games would get lowered in price slightly as time goes on, then my library would be much much bigger :\

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2003, 06:25:04 PM »

yeah i know.
but i still see MGS2 for $109, and it's been out i think 2 years now.

I think another wave race game would be on Nintendo's next console, probably a launch title. I doubt we'll see another Wave Race on GCN, there just isnt much to add, with the next console they could make the graphics look unbelievable! *wets pants*

I just sold Wave Race: Blue Storm, I probably only played it the first weeks after I got it a year ago. I don't hate it or anything, but I don't love it like the N64 version either. It's pretty and all, especially the amazing water effects. But I couldn't get any fun out of it in multi-player with friends, since they couldn't get the hang of the controls, so that kind of ruined it for me.

Mario · « **Reply #12 on:** June 15, 2003, 08:49:16 PM »

Yeah i know what you mean. I let my dad play Wave Race once and he sucked! He couldnt even drive straight -__- I mean, yeah sure, the controls are a bit advanced, but with a bit of practise the control feels great! Orgasmic almost!

Hybrid Hunter · « **Reply #13 on:** June 16, 2003, 12:16:50 AM »

My friend has it, playing it first time was hard, controls take some time to get use to, once you do its fun. A sequel would be great for next gen console, improve on everything!!

Oh....My....God!
Hybrid Hunter?
Is it you Hybrid Hunter?
It IS you! IT IS YOU!

I want to get a copy myself. But I still dont see it in stores =(

Its not on the Players Choice list?

mjbd · « **Reply #16 on:** June 16, 2003, 04:13:09 PM »

I love this game. I cant believe it didnt sell better. I believe it only sold about 350-450k copies in the US, and less than 750k world wide. But oh well, still one of my favorite games. Nintendo's requirements for Players Choice have been way reduced, so maybe nintendo will bring Wave Race BS back in limited quanities.

Mario · « **Reply #17 on:** June 16, 2003, 11:13:05 PM »

Wow, is that all it sold? Wave Race 64 sold about 1.8 million in the US alone! Damn, everyone go out and buy Wave Race: Blue Storm now!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2003, 12:03:53 AM »

YES, do what Mario says!

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2003, 12:14:24 AM »

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #20 on:** June 17, 2003, 12:16:12 AM »
