Naw, my avatar is just some random picture with half his skull removed. But it might as well be Gary Coleman, so BAM! My avatar now features Gary Coleman!

Barcode would be a pretty good way of doing it. That way people who bought used consoles can still get in since they are likely to be only person who knows the code. Imports might still screw you over though.

I could pull up a list off all gamecube upc codes (bar codes) right now off the internet if I wanted to. They'd have to come up w/ a unique serial code for all of their games. It won't be a problem for the Gamecube itself, as all cubes have a unique serial code, but the games themselves will need to be updated.

I have a question....

They say on November 11 you can start to register. And they say you need to register two of the games that is listed. Why would they start November 11 if most of the games listed doesn't even come out until after the 11th, like mario kart comes out on the 17th, and 1080 comes out on december.

"Why would they start November 11 if most of the games listed doesn't even come out until after the 11th, like mario kart comes out on the 17th, and 1080 comes out on december."

Well Mario Party 5 comes out on November 11 so it's possible for people to at least register one game starting then. But no one would be able to register two of those games at that time unless they buy two copies of Mario Party 5. Maybe that's Nintendo's plan all along so that hardcore fans will buy extra copies of Mario Party 5 thus making an unexciting cookie-cutter sequel into a huge seller.

Mario Party has always been a huge seller, and imo, it's the perfect party game...

Well, it seems that I have added Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga to my MUST BUY list.

Same here- I had contemplated buying it, but now I have to. Damn you, Nintendo! Forcing me to play your great games just so I can play your other great games!

I feel the same way Mouse Clicker! I think I might just flash some backups (since I own all the Zelda games anyway [read: DISCLAIMER!] ) to the 'ol GBA RAM cart, plug it in to my trusty Game Boy Player and call it a day! I mean, that'll cover Zelda 1 and 2. Link to the past is already a GBA game, and I have the Ocarina of Time/ Master Quest disc already. And EVERYONE knows that Majora was more of an expansion than an brand new title anyway so BAM!

WHO NEEDS IT!

I disagree. MM may have the same engine as OoT, but the gameplay concepts are completly different; side quests are just as important as the main quest, there is a strong emphesis on narrative, Link can transform, and the time system combine to make MM pretty different to OoT. Just my opinion though, of course.

I'm really looking foward to this disc, I just hope it will come to PAL territories.

I typically find that anyone who says that has never played Majora's Mask for more than a few hours and are usually the same people that think Super Mario Sunshine is the worst game ever made.

Somebody answer this question, the wording of these announcements haven't been great, so answer this please.

If I have had a subscription to Nintendo Power for some 2 years now, and I just renewed it in early october, and I got an email that said I wouldn't get November's issue till late november, am I going to recieve the disk in the mail with november's magazine, the one after, or am I not going to recieve it at all?

I think when you order your subscription you have to ask for the disc as your bonus gift, so you might have missed out...

THE ONE · « **Reply #45 on:** November 05, 2003, 04:27:04 PM »

What if we rent the games and register them? will that count? or do we need a reciept?

Bloodworth · « **Reply #46 on:** November 05, 2003, 04:35:02 PM »

The pin will likely be unique and IF it were included in rental chain stocks, would only work for the first person that rents it. If they weren't unique, we could just post them in the forums and have a grand old time.

THE ONE · « **Reply #47 on:** November 05, 2003, 04:37:50 PM »

thanks for telling me

Pale · « **Reply #48 on:** November 11, 2003, 06:28:02 AM »

Hmm...just to add some new speculation to how you may be able to get the disc. Last year we received the Smash Bros Orchestral CD in our december issue of Nintendo Power. Well I just noticed that this years december issue has been delayed and we will not receive it until around Nov 25th...could this mean that they MAY be including the disc right away for subscribers? Possibly?? =P

Pale · « **Reply #49 on:** November 11, 2003, 08:14:49 AM »

Oh and just so everyone knows, registration started today..

http://www.nintendo.com/cpp/register/index.jsp

I just now realized I'm screwed because I have a Q....somehow i didn't make that connection before. At least i'll nab the disc in one of teh other ways..i was just hoping for multiple copies so I could hook up less fortunate friends.
