Nintendo Gaming / RE: Battalion Wars II
« on: October 16, 2007, 09:44:12 AM »
With Brawl pushed to next year this game is now in my top 3 most anticipated for the rest of the year, and top 2 that's on a console I actually own. I was planning on buying the original, but once this was announced I decided to wait for it, the same way I did for Strikers, which was announced at the same time. I'm gonna have to play the hell out of it for those first couple weeks, though, because I don't think I'll be able to pry myself from Galaxy when that comes out.

Gamespot has confirmed that Super Mario Galaxy has the power to warp the laws of time and space by simultaneously lacking detail and also having a lot of detail.

You'd have to design the stages around it, but competitive target breaking could be really great.

Hey, 2001's a great movie (though it's a better book), as long as you watch the part with Dave going through the monolith in fast-forward (that part's only 15 minutes long that way).

It is not complete bull. The gamers that don't buy the Wii do so because they want better graphics, or they don't like the motion controls, or they don't like Nintendo's recent track record or the games they make. Sure, some gamers make fun of the name, but the name isn't why they didn't buy the console.

To paraphrase Miyamoto, an all-time great game is all-time great forever, if you delay it it can eventually become literally perfect.

The name of the console wouldn't have any real effect on whether or not gamers would buy it. Whether you like Nintendo or you don't, whether you like the motion controls or the specific games that are made, that's what goes into making the decision for a gamer. I do think, however, that among the non-gamers it matters at least a little bit. I don't think that the console would be having the same level of success if they had kept the name Revolution.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Advance Wars Series of Games
« on: October 11, 2007, 11:03:27 AM »
I think it's fitting that Advance Wars: Dual Strike launched alongside a major nongame in Nintendogs and now Days of Ruin will launch alongside a major nongame in Endless Ocean.

I would think it could be made possible with a firmware update. And if you couldn't boot off anything but the internal memory couldn't they rig up some kind of Windows Shortcut/OS X Alias thing where you boot from a small file stored in the internal memory that upon starting up tells the Wii to access the data on a USB drive or SD card?

Okay, sorry, this is something that I see all the time and I've reached a breaking point. If you're going to criticize someone's grammar, you should probably spell the word "grammar" correctly. It's "grammar" not "grammer"!

Nintendo Gaming / RE: DS demo channel?
« on: October 11, 2007, 09:28:14 AM »
That'll be at least a couple years, possibly more if it maintains its popularity. I don't want to wait that long, but I may be able to as long as a few specific things get ported (Sonic Mega Collection DS. And maybe a Mother 1-2-3 compilation if Lucas gains some popularity due to Brawl).

Nintendo Gaming / RE: So.. what are Nintendo's options for the Holiday?
« on: October 11, 2007, 09:22:37 AM »
Don't forget that Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is coming, sandwiched in there between BWii and Galaxy. I'm not buying it, but only because I won't let myself get it until I beat at least one of the 2 GBA ones that I have.

Other Wii exclusives that haven't already been mentioned are NiGHTS and Geometry Wars: Galaxies. The thing about NiGHTS is that it's from Sega, and though it pains me to say it, that's a bit of a red flag these days. And Geometry Wars isn't for everyone, but the original was a very popular Live Arcade game and they seem to be thinking up every crazy modification of that formula possible, so I'm keeping my eye on it.

Nintendo could most likely get an SNES emulator working on the DS. The homebrew community has several SNES emulators for the handheld, they don't have anywhere near full compatibility, but Nintendo knows more than anybody else about both the SNES and DS hardware and could have more experienced programmers working full time on it as opposed to a single person working in their free time. TurboGrafx can be and already is emulated by the GBA, so the DS would be no problem. I don't know if anyone's attempted Genesis/Mega Drive emulation, but if the SNES can be done one would think that would also be possible (and what I really want, I really want the Genesis Sonics on the DS).

I hated the button mashing, but transferring that to motions, even if it's nearly the same thing, sounds a lot better. This is one I'm keeping my eye on.

Hey, we're still getting Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem, and Galaxy, the holiday season is fine.

More Third-Party Characters Confirmed.

If Nintendo was hoping for Sonic to make up for a delay they really needed to give the new date yesterday and not TBD. The delay isn't a delay until we get the new date, at which point everyone will make a huge deal about it (at least as long as it pushes the game into 2008, if it's a delay of a couple weeks nobody will care). Or maybe they just have another megaton waiting for then.

Yeah, 750,000+ sales of a port of a 2 year old game that's previous form was already playable on the console should give them a hint that there's an audience on the Wii. I really doubt we'll get RE5, we'll get a Wii-exclusive side story if we get anything.

The difference between fan-made flash animations and this is that this isn't being done with the intention of pissing off Nintendo fans and the action is occuring in a context where it makes sense, where Snake and Mario are fighting each other.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Super Mario Bros 3 vs Super Mario Galaxy *(WARNING WORDS)*
« on: October 06, 2007, 04:46:58 AM »
I must be really great at SMB3 then, because I don't find World 8 all that challenging, except maybe the one with all the little airships, and the final castle is way too easy.

In my opinion Super Mario Bros. 3 is the greatest game of all time, and Super Mario 64 is 3rd. Super Mario World is great but not on the same level as those 2. And I don't consider Yoshi's Island a Mario game, it's its own thing, but it's one of the finest platformers ever, and in my mind the best platformer on the SNES. I enjoyed NSMB, but it's last in this group as far as I'm concerned.

As for Super Mario Galaxy, from what I've seen it has a chance to be better than SM64. I didn't think Sunshine had that chance prior to its release, and I didn't give either WW or TP a chance to be better than OoT prior to their releases. Galaxy is special, I really can't wait to play it, and whether it surpasses 64 or not, I think this is going to be one of the best gaming experiences in recent memory, and I think it'll be Game of the Year, even over Brawl.

You people are acting as if creating a new IP is as simple as saying "Hey, why don't we create a new IP". And you also seem to be forgetting Disaster: Day of Crisis, which, last time I checked, isn't a sequel to anything. And Project H.A.M.M.E.R., while canceled, was an attempt at a new IP. And finally, not showing anything isn't the same as not having anything in the works.

Wow. GP always has to find something that could possibly be wrong with the game and not get too excited like everyone else, and the only possible negative thing she could think of was that Galaxy may be so unbelievably good that they couldn't possibly do any better and might stop making them.

Also, it's not the ultimate experience unless they bring back Kuribo's shoe.

Yeah, if getting Metroid Prime 3, Battalion Wars 2, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl all in one holiday season is only half of what we got before Nintendo expanded its focus I really wasn't paying enough attention to their releases back then.

Yeah, you could dual-wield in GE:Rogue Agent on the DS. It was a really cool game, I still pull it out from time to time.
