Title: No Mario 128??
Post by: mouse_clicker on May 13, 2003, 03:57:35 PM: Why isn't Mario 128 being shown at E3? It's my most anticipated game for the Gamecube right now and I REALLY want to see what Shiggy's doing with it. Is it just not that far along?

I'm clueless on that one. I thought they would show it in the press conference today. Supposedly the game has been in production since well before Mario Sunshine. The press conference was a big dull dud in my opinion. There was not a single thing new to me except Giest, but that (according to IGN) is actually the game "Fear" that was mentioned on a few web sites recently.

I'm REALLY interested in Geist though, it is definitely on my "This could kick arse" list.

A good showing of Mario 128 would've blown everybody away, though.

If nothing is shown by day 2 then I would start to worry. I want to hear more about Virtua Fighter Quest personally. I'm also hoping for some third party offerings that have yet to be announced.

Post by: Bill Aurion on May 14, 2003, 07:17:05 AM: I started smelling something fishy when no big titles were announced besides Geist, which is not a first party title anyway. Miyamoto said HIMSELF, on Mario 128, "wait till E3," which proves that there is more than meets the eye.

Also, how about Game Zero? hmmmmmm

I certainly hope so, for I've found the bulk of the announcements lacklustre at best! Quite frankly, I'd rather see a lot of the GBA games announced, developed for the Cube instead. Yeah yeah, I know all about user base and profitability.

Post by: mouse_clicker on May 14, 2003, 12:15:06 PM: I'm worried because usually everything big is talked about at the press conference. Maybe showgoers did get to see a bit of Mario 128 today, but stuff of it's caliber is usually unveiled at the press conference.

Post by: Hostile Creation on May 14, 2003, 01:18:12 PM: I hope they show some stuff. I'm seriously interested in what this will be like. But they could have some surprises. Wouldn't surprise me.

Post by: Hostile Creation on May 15, 2003, 01:13:08 PM: Hey, kirby popstar, is the pac man game fun?

Ah, well. Not as if that's bad, just gives us more to look forward to later. Be funny if they gave everyone a ton of stuff right after E3

Post by: Grey Ninja on May 15, 2003, 01:26:12 PM: Hey Kirby, did you get to play MGS: TS at all? What was the music and sound like? I know it's hard to hear with that many people around, but was the voice acting and music the same as in the PSX version?
Title: No Mario 128??
Post by: mouse_clicker on May 15, 2003, 03:05:46 PM: Grey Ninja: IGN has mentioned on several accounts that all the voice acting in MGS: TS appears to be the same as in MGS.

Post by: Grey Ninja on May 15, 2003, 05:04:10 PM: Good good. How about the music?
