Nintendo Gaming / Games I maybe underestimated

« on: June 27, 2003, 11:52:22 PM »

these are a list of games i didnt buy for GC,  purely becuase they were more "high profile" titles coming out

Can u guys tell me how good these games actually are: or if u also agree if you think the following games are underestimated:

WTA Tennis:  A WOMEN ONLY tennis game?Great! i was very close to buying it! Sonic Adventure Battle 2 beat it though, though i would really like to see a mega tennis game on the gamecube soon [not mario tennis ;o)]

Doshin the Giant: This game looked very good. Raising and lowering land to please people, choosing to be evil or nice? I was very close to buying this but Beach Spikers took over that one

Rocky: A game I actually have. But i dont think it is as popular with me as it is with other people. It is a great boxing game, with full liscences, better then KK 2003

Bomberman Generation: Dunno why but i judt didnt like the look of this game. Is it really that bad?

Those are a short number as always i would like to hear your thoughts

Nintendo Gaming / Forgetting the "older" generation of Gamers?

ok i think tis time to lock the forum or jsut stop this debate

i think we have all learned 2 things from this

1. Not all games are easy after all, but the majority without a diff level are

2. Ikargua is a game worth getting

Thanks and GoodNight

wait a minute

somwhow iv struck a never with some guys in here

so when i called it a peice of pi$$ im doing the exact same thing without the beginnig part of the phrase

ok more easy games if thats what you want

Mario Party 4 [even on Expert mode]
Luigi Mansion
Pikmin
SMB 1

thanks everyone for contributing to this debate, although i dont think we have really got anywhere

everyone keeps mentioning ikaruga, yes it does sound hard,[ iv not been on it ] but just becuase that game isnt easy it doesnt make up for the huge amount that are, you cant use ikaruga to defend all the easy games NGC has produced.
Referring  back to the point that Stu said with his long list of tasks which are very hard,what do u notice about the  those? Thats right, the outstanding majority contain "hard mode" or master mode" etc. Which takes away the subject quite frankly. Why should I pay.... £40, to get a game
which only gets hard with a change of difficulty level?? I expect the raw challenge from the start, i wont to go into a new game excited without even casting an eye on the diff level.
Using wind waker, where is the diff level for that? That game was built up for months and months and months, and as the months flew by i was getting excited, only to realise the game was a total peice of pi$$! I completed it within 6 weeks or summat. Games without diff levels should be made harder and WW was is no exception, there is no excuse why that game should have been amde to be as easy at it was. And finishing on WW, the last boss with the great Ganon, that was just a farce. [If you havent done it yet im sorry id stop reading]
The last third of the boss where you have to reflect the light onto him and hit him as much as possible was very hard and i thought was a brilliant ending, i couildnt do it for ages, [or so i thought] only then to realise by accident when i presses A to do a defensive attack, he got hit on the head with one shot and that was it, so lame! How is that a boss to end the game? it isnt! However if they [nintendo] would have realised to take off that stupid yellow arrow above his head i wouldnt have even got past that boss yet which i think would have been cool! And the ending was poor as well, i just wanted to walk around, sail wherever and do little things like nintendo gallery etc. But it just started all over again in different clothes.
I would like to finish by saying im having a dig at zelda becuase it was a beautiful experience but it was too easy, if there is a worse example of easyness this year[ i feasr MarioKDD] i will do the same to that as well

Just some thoughts

great shout m8

And honestly, when was the last time you played a HARD Square game?

hmmmm, i guess it must be Secret of Mana on the SNES,[ i was around 7] yeah im getting a clearer picture now

in response to other peoples questions:
Super Mario Sunshine was NOT hard getting all the shine sprites from the actual levels
but im very happy to say the rest of the shine sprites where you need blue coins to get, you really need to clear every single level out of blue coins and that is extremely time consuming and hard

I  think Super Mario Kart DD will be easy Artimus i cant give you any evidence its just my gut feeling
it may be easier becuase a lot of the mario franchises have been easy for NGC we will have to see

my final point [for this turn!] is a contributor to easyness on a couple of big NGC titles, ED and Wind waker

I suppose you noticed in ED any objects that are important that u need to pick up flash? it would be much better just to find them without the flash, i know the rooms are dark but still a big giveaway
And finally on wind waker on the bosses there is a little yellow arrow where you need to hit etc
i hate being told how to do bosses like that

3+ is not a good label becuase when i was 3 i was playing with fire engines and tractors and stuff!

hi i would like to hear your views on this


Do you think that Nintendo have forgotten about the older generation [a.k.a people who were brought up on NES or SNES, 15-20 yrs old] and have gone kinda .... soft?

I just think that to get a challenge in a gamecube game recently it involves Resident Evil or other scary games
Im not saying that those type of games are bad they are good ED was great if not a little easy

Take Zelda for example, the age group i mentioned "older" will remember the classic Zelda on the SNES. The wind waker on NCG, for as beautifully created as it is... was way too easy and i have to admit to be dissapointed with it.  And im really afriad that mario kart will be going down the same route, SMB 2 is way easier then the first one

I am aware of the 3+ rating and 11+ rating, but all the classic titles which come back and all the nintendo new stuff for the gamecube appears to be 3+ and will be too easy

i hope to god you make sense of all that jibberish but im getting quite angry by the general easyness ever increasing for NGB

£40.00 wasted continously
