Ok. I think the title says it all. Thanks Bloodworth for doing this stuff for us.

I'd like to start off by mentioning the complete lack of Mario Golf and 1080 Avalanche in any up-coming release dates really gets to me. Hell, even FF:CC is being mentioned as "Coming Soon" instead of these guys.

Anyways, that's a start. First true Aussie Thread!

Mario · « **Reply #1 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:02:17 PM »

Yay

.

Oh and hey, Mario Golf is finally coming out on February 27th! A bit late, but it's coming!

No sign of 1080 Avalanche anywhere though. *shakes fist*

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #2 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:05:54 PM »

How cool is this!
When i read the last post in the Aussie thread by bloodworth, i thought they were talking about......(we know where), but it turns out it's a whole new Category for us!

I am a bit peeved at the fact that there's no news whatsoever about 1080, but the fact that EB has the pre-order box on the shelves is pretty a pretty good sign that it's out soon.
I mean, they have the PIkmin 2 box too!

Mario · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:15:25 PM »

They have the Pikmin 2 box already, when it's not coming out until like, September or something? Rad.

I rekon. The EB here never had the 'comming soon' things before. I was more than a little suprised to walk into EB only to see FF: CC and Pikmin 2 glaring back at me.

Does anyone know if NoAu has bothered to secure a March 26th release date for MGS: tTS?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:23:20 PM »

27th for Mario Golf ey? Oh well, looks like I'll be getting three games next month for sure, then. Sonic Heroes, Puyo Pop and this.

I'm pretty sure 1080's slated for an April release, but who knows. I don't want it anymore, anyway. *ANGST* Take that, Nintendo!

Bloodworth · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:30:10 PM »

Glad to see people showing up and starting to post. Don't forget to use the top thread to invite anyone else you can think of. At first, not even staff like Obi could see this place, but I've fixed that now.

Mario · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:30:44 PM »

Well MGS:TTS is still listed for March 12, but since it's coming out in Europe later, i'm betting that the Aussie release will be pushed back. It's coming sometime in March though... sometime. *shrugs shoulders*

Meh, 1080. That's sooooo last year. By April i'll be busy.. not thinking about 1080.

Shift Key · « **Reply #8 on:** January 26, 2004, 07:07:21 PM »

Well I'd rather Mario Tennis GC over any of the games coming out (excluding MGS)

Where is it already? I loved the N64 version and miss it dearly... Why can't E3 come any sooner?

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2004, 07:53:38 PM »

in regards to Pikmin 2, EB had Soul Calibur 2 boxes up since like May, and it came out in like September, so yeah, EB like to get pre-orders in early it would seem

money grubbing jerks

27th for Mario Golf eh? well it's only like 8 months too late, but i'll still get it, damn you Nintendo Australia, jerk us around and we can do nothing about it aside from getting games late >=O, we -could- get a freeloader etc, but that's not for everyone..

anyway, i'm pretty hyped for Puyo Pop Feaver, except Aretardri Australia is handleing it

I like what you guys have done with the place.

Anyhow any news as to locations of F-Zero GX machines in NZ?

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2004, 04:10:02 AM »

I saw that MGS: TT has a new date for like March 9, which they said was a few days earlier. I don't know for sure when it really comes out, but I just hope that I like it a lot more than I liked MGS 2.

I have been tempted to get the Mario Golf/Tennis games, but I am not much on sports. Would someone who dislikes sports games enjoy above two said titles?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2004, 01:06:28 PM »

I'm not into sports, myself (Excluding the F-Zero championship which I plan to enter when it exists in a few hundred years). But I really liked Mario Golf on the N64. It was relaxing, happy and fun. Don't know about Mario Tennis, never played that one.. But I spose I would of liked it. Smash Tennis on SNES and Virtua Tennis on DC were cool!

Berto2K · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2004, 01:20:35 PM »

I would put Mario Tennis above Golf, but that is just me. Golf is too fine-tuned for my liking. Just gimmie something to smash something else with. None of this tippy tappy crap

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2004, 01:32:54 PM »

I hate sports games, but I can honestly say that Mario Tennis is one of the best games for the 64...It doesn't matter if you are playing with friends or against AI, it's a blast...

Mario · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2004, 04:12:03 PM »

Wow, for the last few days i've actually been playing Mario Tennis 64 (more like for the last three years omg tee hee!), it's awesome, i'd give it a 10 out of 10, i love it! Mario Golf.. eh, i haven't really played it much, i'll be playing the GCN version next month though! =O But, i like sports, but that's not why i like these games, you would enjoy them whether you like sport or not... i think... whatever.

Speaking of Four Swords GCN, i wonder when it's being released here, if at all? I haven't heard anything on a PAL/Australia release for Four Swords... hmmm around the block it's wonder wtf o'clock

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2004, 04:31:09 PM »

Oohhboy, if you haven't heard of any place in New Zealand that has AX, then we for sure wouldn't know if there are any.
If in the case we do find some info on AX in NZ, we'll let ya know

Four Swords looks better and better by day.....well.....everytime there's new info on it

, and I think it will surpass FF:CC as the GC-GBA link multiplayer game of choice in Oz....
If FF:CC actually does well in Oz then I will be very much surprised.
Nintendo isn't really doing so well, and if you have to spend even MORE money to play a game, the chances of it doinf well here are slim.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2004, 07:17:32 PM »

Well I dont know about you guys but the games I am looking forward to will most likley not make it out here.

Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos
Custom Robo

I also really want

Harvest Moon
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid but they all come out weeks apart from each other.

I personally am not MUCH of a sports fan but Mario Golf was UNBELIEVABLE ...but I wont buy the GCN version seeing as its now old news. I really disliked Mario Tennis because the arms felt very short and the game was uncomfortale ( because I was used to the gameplay mechanics of Virtua Tennis ).

well there's flawed logic if ever i've heard it, if you mean that it's been around in America for a while then how exactly does that effect you? o_O and if you mean you've expirianced it all before on N64 then err.. still doesn't make alot of sence, but what ever :\

strange as it may seem, the two titles on the horizan i'm mostly hyped for is Puyo Pop and Harvest Moon, take THAT popular australian gaming genres... says me who just finnnished playing CS.. ohwell ^__^

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2004, 09:46:27 PM »

You won't buy Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour because it's 'old news', yet you got Animal Crossing? OOoh, also, speaking of Harvest Moon. DVDcrave will be selling it for $70.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2004, 09:50:46 PM »

yes they sure will! and FF:CC for $80 or $90, i forget which, and aparently finding out before posting is too difficult for me =o, either way i'll be grabbing them from there, and puyo pop if they have it, saving on shipping ++

Mario · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2004, 09:53:32 PM »

I will continue to buy all my games for over $100, from EB, like a fool.

Ms.Pikmin · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2004, 09:53:46 PM »

I am looking forward to Harvest Moon as well. Currently I'm playing FOMT and like it. One thing I especially like is that the clock won't be in real time. Animal Crossing got boring for me because of that and that fact that there wasn't much to do. Selling fruit, hunting for money bags, trying to collect stuff, killing roaches, and cutting weeds gets old.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2004, 11:22:01 PM »

Dont you all get it ...I never ever make sense. DERRR .

Nah seriously , Harverst Moon was great because it is so addictive but Animal Crossing has raised the bar for the simulation genre and I dont think HM AWL can reach the leve.............

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #24 on:** January 28, 2004, 02:20:47 PM »

I dunno, I'm thinking Harvest Moon will provide a much deeper experience than Animal Crossing did. HM lets you get married, and you get to take care of a pet dog! Plus there's the whole farm thing, and the ability to get drunk. ^_^ Take that, furry little Animal Crossing-ville!

"Oooh hoo, that dog has a puffy tail! Here puff, here!"
