Nintendo Gaming / Sega!
« on: February 03, 2003, 05:31:08 PM »
I'm not usually a grammar-nazi, but that first post was painful to read.

Sega has released two exclusives in Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2. Those were not ports. I'm not going to say I'm disappointed with Sega's offerings because I love Skies of Arcadia Legends, but all the Sonic ports are a bit much. The latest  Penny Arcade says something about this topic.

Is Beach Spikers a port? If so, what system was it originally on?

    Hell, to make me happy they wouldn't even have to improve it. If they just threw in some new levels and weapons a la Vice City, I'd be in gaming heaven once again.

    About the avatars -- I suppose it's not too big a deal, but they're just so instantly recognizable. I think they really help make forums a community instead of just a bunch of faceless screen names talking. Is there an option to make images allowable in signatures, or is the idea of customizable images completely out?
