ooh good game.

KDR, have you tried buying games online since usually you can get a discount ordering online. Personally I hope there isn't a player's choice on the DS or Wii since they look ugly on Sony and MS systems.

Discounts? Dunno, never seen any special deals online (don't know any sites for buying in this country outside of Amazon, anyway). Sometimes they're a few Euros cheaper but shipping costs can easily negate that.

Just got Power Pros today at C City for 15.  Great deal considering the 08 version isn't too much different.

That looks like a US-centric website.

Not sure on that one, but nonetheless, its a pretty good site.  In using it over the past year I've probably picked up at least 10 good deals I found from that site.  My only gripe is I wish the site was organized a little better.

I tried it and it redirected to a UK variant - cheap arse gamer..

I haven't heard much about '08. It was just released last month, right? It sure could have used plenty of changes. Limiting the Wii controls and Miis to just one game mode was dumb if nothing else. And as much as I liked the weird RPG elements, I utterly failed to get my guy to the big leagues, then didn't feel like trying again.

Yeah, no motion controls in the regular game is a HUGE oversight.  Additionally, the base running and fielding is a tad clunky.  Considering, these elements are in the new iteration, no real reason to upgrade.  That said, I'm still having a ton of fun with the game as it reminds me of one of my favorites as a youth, Extra Innings for the SNES.  Definitely worth 15 for anyone who hasn't picked it up yet and looking for a good baseball experience.

Majora's Mask shall not be considered a "new" Zelda game, as it uses the exact same engine as Ocarina of Time, was released just over a year later, and isn't so much a sequel as an Alice in Wonderland sidestory.

What's your point? OoT used the Super Mario 64 engine.

Its understandable that a Nintendo based website needs to be run by people who at the very least like Nintendo. However, that doesn't mean that the staff needs to love Nintendo 24/7. We are not running a Church or a cult here (though fandom does lean towards one way or the other...).

Oh, I have no problems with the multiplatform love (how dare people play video games!), but the staff **** on Nintendo non-stop these days and hop on all the rolleyes.gif internet forum bandwagons. The Ian style angst isn't helping traffic or anything, NWR's been dead for like three years now. That's why I suggested it should be rebranded or something, it's clear the majority of people on staff here no longer have interest in Nintendo. That's cool, start over! Make it an Atari Lynx forum for lol.

Honestly. It's a big reason why I don't visit this place much anymore.

Self hate. gotta love it

Stick around.  Things will be a lot friendlier around here going forward.

Silks I noticed you have been nicer about Nintendo recently.Does that mean you had a change in heart?

[NWR_Lindy]

My constantly negative attitude was having a detrimental impact on the forums.  I changed my viewpoint on things 180 degrees when I realized that the very same behavior that I was exhibiting - and therefore encouraging - was the type of behavior that, as a staff member,  I should be discouraging by leading by example.

Lindy was visited by 3 ghosts last night that showed him the error of his ways.

Wario Land has restored some of my faith in the Big N. They still have some tricks up their sleeves for the faithful, but they just need to deliver on a more regular basis!
