« on: November 28, 2004, 03:32:57 AM »

I'd go with the MK bundle.  It's a better value.
GCN w/ 1 Controller - $100
Metroid Prime - $20
Total Value - $120

GCN w/ 1 Controller - $100
Mario Kart - $50
Extra Controller - $20
Total Value $170

I thought everything now just used Nintendo's proprietary protocol (which I thought was technically different from the Wi-Fi abilitites)... maybe I don't know what I'm talking about (it happens a lot)

"When they feel truly confident, players can fire up the multiplayer component to challenge up to four friends in wi-fi networked play."

Eh?

Yep... I'm one of the unlucky ones with *two* dead pixles...  I may have to take advantage of the advance replacement program...

... but I've already gotten so attached to my DS...

Oh, btw...
Hey Daniel! How's it going?

But what if you already have a GB Player?  Those things aren't fun to take off - it'd be a pain to switch them around every so often...

Wal-Mart, as well, has the DS locked out from sales at the register.

Even though their TV ads say it's for sale now in the Home Entertainment department.

(And no, not even the store manager can override the sale at the register - it absolutly will not allow it.)

You know, this would probably be great fun, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm on crappy dial-up and there's bound to be lag galore....

Oh well, guess I'll have to settle for going to Wal-Mart to get my DS.

I want a new Digital Camera (i.e.: Game Boy Camera 2)
And a TV Tuner - with A/V jacks to connect stuff into it.

And a waffle iron..

TalkBack / RE: Nintendo Releases US Game Commercials

« on: November 13, 2004, 06:27:22 AM »

Personally, I think some of the Japanese commericals are quite a bit better than the ones we have stateside.

I'd almost think it'd be neat for NoA to just run a few of the Japanese commericals (complete with the Japanese language) just to really catch people's attention...

Is it at all possible Nintendo has on again/off again been working on this game since that demo back in 2001?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: HALO 2 Midnight Madness - Isn't this crap? (Not off-topic, I promise!)

> Actually Bob think about how mcuh longer you would've had to wait outside if the 85 people in front of you all wanted to buy another game, or place pre orderes for Halo 3.

Then I would have thought "Gee, I should have gotten here eariler so I wouldn't have to wait behind all of these people."
See, I don't mind waiting so much (though I am a little cheesed that we all had to wait outside in the cold instead of waiting inside the mall...)

>What you do is, next time you happen to be in EB Games, just "casually" mention to one of the clerks (or preferably the manager)...

But... it was the store manager.

Nintendo Gaming / HALO 2 Midnight Madness - Isn't this crap? (Not off-topic, I promise!)

« on: November 08, 2004, 10:31:52 PM »

So I go to the "local" EB Games (about an hour away) to pick up my Brother-in-law's HALO 2 Pre-Order at midnight. I get there at about 10, get handed number 86 and wait in line for over two and a half hours (in the cold outdoors, because apparently the mall management wouldn't let us wait inside) to get the game. When at the register, I ask about getting Mario Power Tennis (something for myself, after all) and I'm told (somewhat briskly) that "No, we're *only* selling HALO 2 tonight. You'll have to come back tommrow if you want that.".

What the crap is this?

The entire "maybe they wouldn't have bought it otherwise" arguement is crap.  You're still taking something that isn't yours.  Period.  There is absolutly no excuse for this kind of behavior.  Anyone who thinks it is okay really needs to review their own basic morals.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: I think something like this could (in theory) apply to the entire "pulling data from air" thing...

« on: November 07, 2004, 04:18:34 AM »

Perhaps the DS could have some kind of FM receiver that we don't know about yet?

Hey, it's fun to speculate.
