Nintendo Gaming / I discovered pirated games in my collection

« on: June 21, 2003, 03:56:35 AM »

I usually buy my games at Ebay, on these auctions that offer game cartridge only. Recently I read something on a forum about someone who bought a pirated game on ebay. So I started looking at my games...and I already found one pirated game (confirmed by Nintendo) and 3 others I have good reasons to believe are not originals. This is really pissing me off. I though Nintendo was the most active in anti-piracy, but the guys who sold me theses games on ebay are powersellers with a long positive feedback.

If you bought games on ebay or any used games I suggest you take a look at the stickers and circuit boards. Nintendo have only a few games on photo but they show the difference between original and counterfeit games.

Some people may think I complain for nothing, since I paid less for my games and most of my games work fine. But I can tell you that one of the games I got worked fine for a while, until it started getting some serious problems, like freezing and sound and graphics glitches. But I think the problem is pretty bad and anybody could get one of theses games without knowing they are not buying an original. Thoses games are around and I think there's a lot of them.

Nintendo Gaming / Game Cube will have online gaming in 2003-2004?

Sorry if i'm not allowed to post this here but this is the biggest news for a long time and no sites talk about it. Gamespy president has been interviewed (see gamespy.com) and Nintendo is working with Gamespy to bring online gaming to the Game Cube. Apparently it will be up to publishers to charge for online games, but chance are good that Nintendo will not charge it? Great no?

Nintendo Gaming / IGN biaised?

« on: February 14, 2003, 05:23:05 AM »

I wanted to buy Zoocube so I did a search for reviews of the game. I read around 10 different reviews. Most scores was around 7.5 or 8. Then I fall on IGN review of the game: 5.3! I find it strange that one of the most know site is the only one with a bad review. There is some very harsh comments on the game, especially the graphics, when all others reviewers said the graphics are good. I'm buying the game anyway, i really like puzzle games.
