Why Nintendo?
« on: August 31, 2003, 05:52:58 AM »
I am going to be so broke by Christmas. There is so many must own games this fall. I had the hard decision of choosing between F-Zero and SC II. I picked SC II. I will try to buy F-Zero when I have cash.

Here are games that I must buy.

F-Zero GX *
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes*
True Crime: Streets of L.A. *
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike *
Dragon Ball Z Budokai
Viewtiful Joe *
XIII
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Need for Speed Underground
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Yu-Gi-Oh! Falsebound Kingdom (LOL, I've played the card game and it was ok. I might rent it first. Stop laughing!)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! *


How can I buy all these games? I don't know. But I must have these games. Oh yeah, trying buying all these games while upgrading your computer.

My wish list for the end of the year:

[GCN]
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Soul Calibur II
Skies of Arcadia: Legends
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike
Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II
F-Zero GX
I-Ninja
StarCraft: Ghost

[GBA]
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Mario and Luigi
Fire Emblem

[PC]
Silent Hill 3

That's just what I know that I want to buy without strings attached.  Anything beyond that must prove itself to me first.
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean

Forgot to add Pikmin 2 and Mario Party 5 to my list.  Looks like I'm going to have to follow my own advice and drop a few

(off-topic: ty vroenis ^_^.  It's nice to see others trying out FMP.  If you really enjoy it the 2nd dvd is already out and the 3rd one comes out in a few days.)

sure i'll be getting all of those games, if they ever come out in australia.
one adavantage (sort-of) i suppose is that release dates get spread out - easier to manage financially.
(not in australia bill!  but i am going to get them as soon as they come out.  i think the second one is due in a couple of weeks.  i have the entire series on divx but am faithfully purchasing now that it's out in region 4.)

That's pretty funny considering Kirby's Air Ride got a higher score from Famitsu than F-Zero GX did...I really don't mind someone giving their opinion if they've actually played the game before...

Games for me?

Kirby Air Ride
MK: DD
Killer 7
Maybe Prince of Persia, if Killer 7 gets low scores.

EGM gave PN 03 a very low score (primarily fours and threes, I think).  I'd reconsider it Mario, because though I don't trust EGM at all, it's pretty easy to say what a sucky game is.

Already got F-Zero.  It is fun.

Well Hyper gave it 80%, and ive heard good things about it from people. Plus i think it looks really cool. (PN03 that is)

And so what if you've played Kirby and didnt like it, doesnt mean everyone else wont like it. I really like Luigis Mansion, despite some people calling it crap. I still bought it and it turns out that i love it. Oh well.
