Title: odama
Post by: ThePerm on May 24, 2005, 06:58:39 PM: this game sounds pretty cool..even though its pinball it sounds kinda cool with the Way of Ninten
i know that in japanese a philosophy is called a do..so the way of ninten is nintendo...and ninten means "greater good above personal needs". which is what i think third parties should be doing.

watching the g4 reggie interview..he says "nintendo has a game soul"

Post by: UncleBob on May 25, 2005, 05:52:58 AM: The fact that it uses the GCN Mic and Bongos, along with being two player tells me that it's a winner.

That would be a very odd move. There are three games that support the bongos and they're all reasonably popular. The mic however is only used in Mario Party 6. Odama is a very quirky game and it seems like it's target market would better fit the bongo userbase than the mic one. The type of gamers that are interested in Odama seem to be pretty hardcore and hardcore gamers wrote Mario Party off as rehashed junk years ago. To me it seems that potential Odama buyers would be more likely to own Donkey Konga than Mario Party 6.

Post by: RABicle on June 01, 2005, 01:09:14 AM: I was really surpised to hear the Yoot Saito is behind it. Since about 1995 he's been re-releasing Sim Tower, a game he designed under different names on different platforms, (I believe the DS version is on the way). So to hear that not only is he doing a new game but an original game was quite shocking.

Post by: Robotor on June 01, 2005, 08:22:30 AM: Sim Tower is a beautifal game. When I heard Yoot was behind this it made my intrest go up. Looks way cool, bongo support sounds fun.

hearing middle age japanese men shout war crys will be terriable if you play it for long length's of time

Post by: Dirk Temporo on June 07, 2005, 10:12:09 AM: I liked the music...

Smart man. Mario Party is like crack to females. Ditto Animal Crossing and Mario Kart.
