Nintendo Gaming / RE: Bleach on Wii

« on: June 07, 2006, 09:27:58 AM »

Well the anime has been licensed and will air in America in the future so if it becomes popular here as well then maybe Sega will put alittle more money into the Bleach games.

The one for the Gamecube was just an average fighter, but it could have been so much better if they had just worked out the fighting engine more.  With a bigger budget I'm sure they actually could make a good solid fighting game.

TalkBack / RE: Nintendo Reveals More Wii Details

« on: June 07, 2006, 08:48:59 AM »

If the max is $9 dollars for some games then this is a great deal.  If things go right then this means we could all be downloading Dracula X: Rondo of Blood for only $9.  Considering in order to play it now, your required to spend hundreds of dollars just do import a PC-Engine with all the attachments just to play the game, then you'll have to spend another hundred to buy the game itself.

So getting Rondo of Blood for only $9 has got to be one of the greatest deals ever.  And since Konami owns Hudson now, there's a very good chance this game will be on the Virtual Console sometime in the future.  Hopefully soon.

Well the whole "within a budget line" was said at last years E3 before they delayed the game and decided to make a Wii version of it.  Any budget they had they've probobly gone way over by now so anything is possible.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Mario Galaxy Multiplayer....

« on: June 05, 2006, 12:30:25 PM »

"I think implementing this functionality into past games could make for some exciting changes"

All that line says was that they'd add some sort of multiplayer type mode into some of their classic games.  It says nothing about changing things in the actual games themselves.  

The Famicom Mini (NES Retro) re-releases for the GBA had nothing changed in them, they were the exact same game just emulated to the GBA.  That's because they were meant to be the an exact version of the game, which is what the games on the Virtual Console are also meant to be.

The Mario Advance games weren't supposed to be exact ports, they were meant to be upgraded portable version of the games which is why changes were made to them so they'd feel new, even though some changes like added voice work were not needed.

Plus this is Nintendo who loves finding ways of making money.  If they did make changes to the single player in any classic games, they'd more then likely have that as a different game to download.  Meaning on the download list you'd be looking at Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros Special Edition.  This way you'd have to download both games if you wanted to get the original and remake, which seems like something Nintendo would be more likely to do.  

Since they had no problem charging $20 for 20 year old games seperately on the GBA to maxuimize profits.  Even though they easily could have put all the games on just one GBA cartridge and charged $20 for it.

Oh, I hope I didn't sound like I hated Sonic 1-3, I love the soundtracks to those games as well.  It's just the Japanese version of Sonic CD has my favorite Sonic soundtack and I get really worked up when I talk about it.

I agree, Green Hill Zone would be the best choice since it's the theme pretty much everyone thinks about when they think of Sonic.  Plus it's a very good theme as well.  
Another one that'd work well would be Starlight Zone's theme and the second stage of Sonic 2 (I cant remember the name at this moment) theme

Because of the orchestral music, this is one of the reasons I'm hoping for Sonic and Megaman to be in the game.  Sonic and Megaman games had amazing music and to hear some of their themes orchestrated would just be beyond perfect.

Oh God what I'd love to hear would be a Sonic theme that had orchestrated versions of the Japanese versions of Palmtree Panic (Present), Quartz Quadrant (Present) and Stardust Speedway (Present) from Sonic CD.  Those are my three favorite Sonic themes of all time.

Of course the problem would be since Sonic CD was for the Sega CD/Mega CD, it's still one of the lesser known Sonic games and so music from Sonic 1, 2 and 3 would be more likely because they were more popular.  

Plus there's the fact that Sega of America's a bunch of dicks when it comes to the Japanese soundtrack for Sonic CD and would probobly try to find of way to stop the music from being thrown into the game by saying it'll cause Americans cancer if they listen to it or some other horrible excuse like that.  Or worst of all, try to have the music replaced by the horrible American versions of the songs.

Hmm, this could be interesting.

While looking around some message boards I've discovered a quote that I'm not sure if it's true or not.

This is the quote.

---------------------

Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed the following names to appear in Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl via interview with Tokyo's popular "The Gaming Exchange" radio show:

New Faces:
KOOPA KID
RIDLEY
WIND WAKER LINK

Removed Faces:
ICE CLIMBERS
MR. GAME & WATCH
YOUNG LINK

Sakurai also confirmed that the existing "clones" from SSBM will be reworked as entirely seperate characters. One should also note that Young Link isn't being replaced entirely, rather simply replaced with the cel-shaded Link from Wind Waker. His name on the selection screen will still read "Young Link". Sakurai stated Game & Watch and the Ice Climbers will be removed due to the lack of general fan interest and that he decided to include Kid Icarus' Pit as a replacement to the Ice Climbers for those old school fans. He mentioned Pit will likely be the only classic character included. Also of importance is the fact that, according to Sakurai, the roster will be "between 30 and 40", leaving room for about 15 newcomers or so. In addition, there will be only be "one or two" 3rd party characters.

----------------------------


Once again, I'm not sure if this is true or not since it hasn't been reported by any major websites yet.  But I'm posting it because it would be very important information if it's actually true.

Oh and Bowsers name in Japan is Koopa so the Koopa Kid would be Bowser Jr from Super Mario Sunshine.  So if this info is true that would mean Bowser Jr and Ridley would both be new charactors with WW Link replacing Young Link.  Of course poor Ice Climbers and Game and Watch would be gone if true aswell.

Since they're showing the charactors from the trailer, my guess is Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu will be the next group shown, followed by charactors like Fox and Donkey Kong which everyone knows will be in it.

I get the feeling that any completly new charactors probobly wont be revealed until sometime this fall since the game isn't supposed to come out until 2007.  Plus for Melee the secret charactors weren't shown on the offical website until after the game was released so chances are alot of charactors wont be revealed until after the game comes out.

Of course the website N-Sider revealed all the secret charactors for Melee a few weeks before the game was even released in Japan so maybe the same will happen with Brawl to.

I agree, but how about his Legends(Dash) and EXE costume as well.  Charactors were given four different color choices for their costumes in Melee.  If they go with different costumes for Brawl then it'd work perfect for Megaman since there's four different Megaman series.  This way anyone could play as the Megaman from either Classic, X, Legends, or EXE so all fans are happy.

According to a recent update to the Japanese Smash Bros website, Sakurai says that for third party charactors, expect only 1-2 more.  He also said the third party charactors MUST have appeared on a Nintendo system.

So that means we shouldn't worry about them getting out of hand with third party charactors.

If there's going to be only two more third party charactor, Sonic and Megaman seem to be the most obvious to me.  Both charactors have appeared on Nintendo consoles and both charactors have a long history and are considered icons.  Plus it's been my dream to have a game with Mario, Sonic and Megaman together in it.

Thats not what I want to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it became fact.

SSBB is being made by Nintendo, not Capcom.  If the onlines limited they'll fix it up for the Smash Bros game for their next console which will be years later.  Nintendo handles most of it's series very well in how sequels go.  Smash Bros has gotten the Mario Kart treatment where there's only one per system.  

So they'll be no

SSBB Tournament Edition
SSBB Turbo
Super SSBB
Super SSBB Turbo
Hyper Super Mega Ultimate SSBB Amazing Grand Turbo Nobody Cares Anymore Edition

General Gaming / RE: The end of the Playstation Era?

« on: May 24, 2006, 11:27:56 AM »

So if your PS3 breaks down someday, you'll have to buy a new PS3 and buy all the PS3 games you had again.  But since stores cant sell used PS3 games it'll be impossible to find any older PS3 games you might have had.  

Wow, that would suck.

Yeah, those flags do look pretty different.  I get the feeling the castle might actually be Akaneia, which would be Marth's kingdom.

http://ssbm.detstar.com/debug/versus/dairantou.html

If you access the debug menu and go to the stages part you can see there is a stage called Akaneia, but if you try to access it the game will freeze because it's not there.  Meaning Marth was suppost to have his own stage but it most have been removed because of time constraints.

Maybe Sakurai remembered this and made sure this was one of the first stages that would be made.  Which might explain why it's one of the stages shown in these early images.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: NEW Super Mario Bros. Title?

« on: May 20, 2006, 04:00:37 PM »

Got the game a while ago and I must say it was well worth the wait.  Nintendo captured the feel of the old ones perfectly.  I haven't had any problems with the controls, but I'm like Bill and haven't played one of the older ones in a long time so that might be part of it.

I'm only on World 5 right now but the level design so far is just amazing.  Each level manages to have it's own unique feel to it.  Plus the game has a great difficulty to it that requires good skills to get past certion parts and discover the secrets in the levels.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Wii gets full SNK support?

« on: May 16, 2006, 11:15:28 PM »

Yes, SNK finally got tired of Sony treating 2d games like crap and telling them what to do.

Hopefully other companies will follow.  The Wii is the perfect system for 2d games.  It's cheaper and easier to develop for plus having the Virtual Console will bring in a fanbase of old school gamers that love 2d so games would sell the best on the Wii.

And the fact Nintendo has no problems with 2d games so companies wouldn't have to worry since Nintendo would never block any of their games from comming out in North America.

General Gaming / RE: Rumors Persist, Sony to Do Something Big

« on: May 06, 2006, 05:59:12 PM »

I wouldn't doubt it if Sony does, they've copied other things Nintendo's done in the past so it'd be no surprise if they did this.  

And if they did, watch as everyone will praise Sony for doing it because to the mass public, whatever Sony does is cool.

Nintendo isn't exactly known for releasing products in Europe around the same time as North America and Japan though.  Of course maybe with the Wii that might change.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: One Piece: Unlimited Adventure announced in Weekly Jump

« on: May 06, 2006, 01:17:12 AM »

Requiem, I recommend watching this scene to see what's in the original version of the show.  Even if you still dont like it, this will show you just how different the original Japanese version is from the awful 4Kids version.

Luffy vs Crocodile

*warning, this clip contains major spoilers for some One Piece fans if they haven't gotten to a certion point in the show yet*

Plus that scene would also relate to the game because could you all imagen using both controllers to do the Gomu Gomu no Storm like Luffy does in that clip.  Now that would be freakin sweet.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: The Price...

« on: May 06, 2006, 01:05:47 AM »

My guess will be if the price is revealed during E3 then it will probobly be $200 but if they say they'll reveal it at a later date then it'll be over $200.  

I remember hearing a rumor that Nintendo might not say the price at E3 which if true, points to the Wii being over the $200 range since they know annoucing the system for that much might anger some people and they want all the attention at E3 to be on just the games.
