Nintendo Gaming / Super Mario All Stars Release?

« on: June 11, 2004, 11:02:26 AM »

Now that all the Mario  games have been released seperatly, anyone think that Nintendo will release the Super Mario All stars game to milk even more money out of the franchise? You remember, the game with the Lost Levels and 'reworked' graphics for the SNES.   Or would they even go so far as to just release the ones already out in one tidy cart?  Is it even possible to fit 5 games(Including Mario World and Lost Levels) on the gameboy small gameboy cartridge?

I know I for one would rather have them all on the same cart rather than have to drag along five carts with me...so I'd probably double dip on this one and get rid of my seperate carts on ebay...

Nintendo Gaming / In order of fairness, Konami should do this for TMNT 2's release...

« on: May 26, 2004, 10:28:47 AM »

The new shows Gamecube titles have this, so it's only right that the old shows arcade game titles should as well.

THe new cast supplies the vocies for the new games, so why not replace the old standard voices for the arcade game with the original casts voices?

Each turtle would have a specific attack phraze shouted out once every minute or so(Rob Paulsen for Raphael, Cam Clarke for Leonardo, Townsend Coleman for Michelangelo, and BArry Gordon for Donatell), and same goes for the main villains, (Pat Fraley as Krang, and James Avery as Shredder).  And if they are indeed including the other console titles on the Gameboy Advance release of the game, maby they could add extra voice tracks as well...

The technology was there to insert these guys into the games, but for some reason they decided to go with unknowns.  It's only fair to add 'em back in ..

Where can we write Konami to suggest this?

General Chat / Nintendo Losing Support?

« on: April 14, 2004, 01:50:23 PM »

Dunno if this is true or not, but now I hear that Factor 5 has stopped support for Nintendo.
Sigh... so much for more Star Wars games like RS4 coming out..

I've been a Nintendo Supporter since the NES came out.  Before that, it was Atari.  However, with so many cool looking games not coming out on Nintendo, and only being XBox and PS2 exclusives, I'm seriously thinking of getting a PS3  in the next generation console wars.    If only Nintendo wasn't so damned good at developing consoles and inhouse games like Mario/Zelda/Megaman/Metroid, etc, I might have switched over already...

I'm curious.  For those who have a PS2, was it worth the $200 plus investment in the long run?

General Gaming / RE: Portable NES?

Actually, after I posted this, I found a copmnay that made a Famicom Adapter for the GBA.  It sold for about $10's if I recall correctly, and they have plans to make a NES version.  However, there's no release date for it yet.

While it will look extremly silly to see a Giant NES cartridge sticking out of the GBA, this may be the only way to go in the near future..

General Gaming / Portable NES?

Anyone think that with the release of this NES themed GBA and classic games coming out, that Nintendo will re-release a limited number of Top Loaders for the NES's 20th anniversary?  It would be great
for those of us who's NES's have developed problems far beyond the blinking light and bendable
cartridge syndrome...

General Chat / Interview questions for Ninja Turtle Fox Box Cast :).

« on: June 19, 2003, 05:00:18 PM »

That's right! Due to a lucky find, a cool dude has helped set up a forum where I can ask questions for the voice actor cast members of the new Ninja Turtle show! The actors we have currently available for Questions are, Sam Regalonatello, Darren Dunstan:splinter, and Wayne Grayson:Michaelangelo.

I've been told that Frank Frankson:Raphael, Marc Thompson: Case Jones, and Michael Sinterniklaas:Leonardo, may also show up as well.

I'm taking ten questions for each voice actor, or ten questions for the group as a whole. I'll be accepting questions on season 2, even though I seriously doubt that they'll be able to answer any plot points concerning it..

NWR Feedback / PLEASE Stop the Flash Adds- PGC Admins...

« on: June 19, 2003, 04:55:38 PM »

Hey guys,

Sorry for starting up what's obviously a heated topic.  I didn't intend for it to get this bad.  But if the folks at Planet Gamecube have fixed something, I havn't noticed a single flash add in the last 4 days.  A new record, so thanks, something is obviously changed .   The only problem I still have is the base.com adds.  Along with flash adds, these two are the most annoying because of sound loads, movie loads, and what not.  Sometimes you can't even skip them using the link provided because they have to finish loading whatever long movie they need to load.

But for what you have done so far, Thanks for trying to help .

Who's Whining?  I'm just pointing out that if enough people get tired of these flash adds, no matter how easy they are to close, they'll leave to find a better site.  I like this site enough, that it's not something I'm ready to do yet.  But when you go to a main page, you want to be able to read the news stories on said page ASAP.  That's the reason you go there.  You don't want to be bothered by a flash add that covers up the page, no matter how easy it is to close.

As stated, I'm not against adds on the page.  Popup adds are easy to ignore or close.  HTML adds can actually be usefull as I've visited a few myself when it's something I'm interested in.  But Flash adds do nothing but annoy...Especially, as someone stated earlier, when they fly around on the screen, or require sound loading for those of us on dialup.

Unfortunatly, I don't think my popup blocker would work.   It's IN the main browser itself, not popping up in a seperate window, IIRC.  The program that I have only blocks the ones that popup in a seperate window, and I'm too acustomed to IE for the last 10 years to switch over to Netscape.

Besides, I've been told that these Flash adds leave something on your computer in order to tell it when to popup again next.    If this is true, who knows what other add monitoring software they load that AdAware might have to remove.     Just sticking with normal HTML adds incorporated into the page itself won't drive people away like BAse.com adds and Flash Page adds..

Nintendo Gaming / 'Mega Man 20th Anniversary' Needed for GBA!

« on: June 13, 2003, 10:05:06 AM »

*Accidentally posted twice due to crappy net connection.  Please keep this one, and delete other.  Thanks!*

Where's the NES Collection cartridges for the GBA Capcom?  It's the 20th anniversary celebration, and
it would be nice if Nintendo fans where remembered for helping to launch this franchise back on the NES.
We've been shafted with the X games(4-7 on PS systems), so it would at least be nice to get a collection
of two compilation carts with the first 3 and last 3 NES games included.  Perhaps with X graphics.

Or at the very least, the X games released in a best of format on the GBA.  As an old school Megaman
fan, I'm wary of trying Megaman Battle Network for fear that it's not a 'true' Megaman game, at least
based on some of the screenshots I've seen.  I need a game more like Megaman Zero .

BTW: Konami: Who do we have to beat up to get a compilation of the Ninja Turtle NES games and
Turtles in time released on a compilation pack for the GBA as well? .

Maby Planet Gamecube could put the suggestion into the company execs minds if there's enough
support for it .

If there's at all possible way to do this, PLEASE weed out the adds that cover up the entire freakin' page.  The more you annoy people with base.com adds and these flash adds that won't even let you read the main paragraph news items, your traffic problems will vanish because people will find add free sites.

I had to ditch IGN because of their subscription service taking up all the good stories.  I'd hate to ditch PGC because of overabundance of annoying adds...

Thanks!
