When can we expect Metroid Prime Hunters impressions?

[ShyGuy]

So, have you walked past a wireless router with this thing? any wifi experiments with it yet?

I'm still curious about the DS's long-range wireless capabilities..

[TheYoungerPlumber]

Yeah, the warning screen at boot-up really annoyed me with Paper Mario: TYD.  I'm not looking forward to a system with it built into the hardware, but I'll manage...

[Deguello]

The pre-game warning is a welcome compromise from what that particular woman wanted in her lawsuit.  She wanted a warning that would flash up DURING the game.  Sorta like being set on fire and then a sign pops up saying "Warning.  Fire causes severe burns."

[Bloodworth]

Wait wouldn't "flashing up" cause seizures?  "Warning, if you experience seizures, this message may cause one.  Oh.  Sorry"

[Deguello]

Pretty much yeah.  As tolerant as I am about uhhh... intellectual shortcomings, those are some pretty stupid people.  On the bright side, at least Nintendo should be pretty much sue-proof, unless somebody finds a way to not read the instruction manual for the platform, not read the first pages of the instruction manual for any given game, not read the back of the box of any given game, not read the health and safety pamphlets distributed with any given game, and somebody somehow misses the seizure warnings that pop up before the game starts.

You know, perhaps that seizure warning isn't visible enough? Perhaps it should be made flashing black and white?

What i want to know is, are ds games gonna have the warning as well? thus doubling our warning pleasure?

WINNER!

PaleZero, I doubt games will have their own warnings in addition to the system warning.

Don't worry, after a couple more impressions go up, I'm going to make a news story that links to all of them.  I know it's easy to miss something as it scrolls down the main page.

[Hostile Creation]

You think they could program something that could allow you to turn off the screen if you've read it, if you made a conscious effort to get rid of it.  But I suppose if your retarded friend played and couldn't see the message and got the DS lodged in his brain that'd be grounds to sue.

[Pale]

Whats the second screen do on GBA games? Just shut off completely I hope?

[Bill Aurion]

That would be corrrect...(You also get to pick which screen you wish to play on, if you didn't know already)

Oh right, whoops. Thanks.
