For those in Canada, check your local Wal Mart for Meteos. Even though it says $38.83, when it is scanned at the cash register, it reads "9.96". Yes, that is right 9.96!!!

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The worst crap I ever read!!!!! You must read it!!!
« on: November 28, 2003, 01:19:33 AM »
The only problem with this crap is that it tells the truth. You all could name the exclusives that the GC is getting. But those games were announced a long time ago. What and how many exclusives was anounced recently? Why is 3rd party ignoring the cube?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:idea for next mario kart

For the next game, I want shorter straightaways, more corners. Bring back the hop and slide from the original. Bring back the adrenaline feeling from the original.

In Toronto, go in EB. Pick up the Holiday Catalogue. Browse to GC section and you will find Crash Nitro Kart listed for $24.99.

Apologies accepted. Next time remember thy name. Thy name is Idiot Savant!

Another thing, the next system should have built in GB, GBC and GBA support. To use it, you need to buy a dics and in this disc it should have software to play these games over the internet.

As an example, Peach will have to venture into a swampy area. At the end of the level, if the player achieved 100%, a fmv of Peach taking a shower will play. Or at the end of a city stage, a fmv of Peach changing her clothes to suit the next level.

Even better, if the player should achieve 100% at the end of the game, the player will be rewaded with a fmv of Peach making out with Mario! The content of the fmvs should not be explicit but controversial, along the lines of DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

Whoever wrote this...WTF?! I searously want to know if you were joking or if you were serious!  As Nintendo said to worring fans at E3 "Mario will never start shooting hookers."


I, IDIOT SAVANT wrote this!! Like I said, NO MARIO GAME! Nintendo needs new franchises to reflect the mature market. Each new edition of a Mario game is getting less reception. People who played with G.I. Joes in their youth are no longer playing them. They simply moved on and Nintendo NEEDS to move on. If Nintendo plans to launch its next console with its current franchises, they will
be where Sega is today. A third party publisher.

If the next console is priced similar to Xbox2 or PS3, it should be packed with as much features as possible to give the buyer a good value for their money whether they use it or not. Basically, the next console should have what the Xbox has today but more powerful and more/better use of it features. The hard drive should not just be for games but the ability to use it as a HDR similar to TiVo or Replay but without the need for subscription fees. Simply put a Tv tuner in it and have the buyer purchase a remote control to activate it to subsidise the cost.

If it turns out to be more powerful than the competition, then they need to subsidise the development of these games by third party publishers to reflect it. The way the GC market is going they will need to do it for their next console. Third party will not spend the extra money, they will simply port it.

On a final note. NO MORE MULTIPLE COLORS. Nintendo should stick with one color, any color whether its blue, green, white, red, black, silver, pink, etc., one color, just one color!

Just imagine, Nintendo will never need to spend much on advertising and could claim that "GC2 is not your little brother system".
The media will hype this game and the Nintendo brand until the end of time!

I also propose that the current Nintendo franchises should not be the primary focus in the next system. Instead from now 'til the next system, Nintendo should prohibit all "cartoon looking" games on its system. Even Pokemon.
