Nintendo Gaming / F-Zero GX = 10.0?

« on: September 07, 2003, 10:07:22 AM »

how would you rate F-Zero?  does it have that addictive quality that you expect from Nintendo?  the game never really interested me at first, but now that I look at a few reviews it looks awesome.  I guess just tell what you think about the game.  Im asking this because now Im considering buying it but my budget only allows about 1 game every 3-4 months .  thanks

oh yea, I hope this doesnt get deleted or moved; Im asking what you like about it and what you think in general

Nintendo Gaming / Phantasy Star Online

« on: June 26, 2003, 09:44:50 AM »

I got PSO in the mail today in a trade on TGN.  it didnt come with a manuel, and Ive never played the game before.  so I pop the game in and everythings cool.  now Ive been playing it for the last few hours and Im ready to quit but I cant figure out where/how to save it.  it took me forever to even figure out how to get off the planet by "dropping" the teleporter thing. . . and Im guessing it says all this stuff in the manuel, but of course Im an idiot so it might not say anything about it in the manuel, lol.  could someone please tell me how to do this?  also, is there any combination of buttons that allows you to manuelly aim?  this auto aim (yes, Im using a ranger) is really getting on my nerves

hey bloodworth, I think I finally got it right this time

Nintendo Gaming / NHL Hitz. . . HELP

« on: June 25, 2003, 09:17:54 AM »

I got Hitz 2003 in a trade last week (and I love it btw), but Ive been wondering how to get attribute points for a created character.  you would think you would get like one point for every game you win or something but thats not the case.  I just cant figure out how to get them.  I know you can though because I was changing my guy's position the other day and I had 19 attribute points to assign.  gahhh. . . anyone know how it works?  thanks

Nintendo Gaming / GBA Games Worth It?

« on: June 24, 2003, 06:47:20 PM »

Alright, Im a moderate gamer I guess you could say (I have about 15 GC games) and I was wondering if a GBA or GBP would be worth it?  I can get a used GBA for slightly lower than a new GBP, but Im leaning towards the GBP.  anyway, are the games for it worth the $50 for whichever I buy?  the games Im most interested in are Phantasy Star Collection, Golden Sun, and Breathe of Fire II. . . so do you think those games would be worth $50 to play?  or should I buy say WindWaker or Star Fox?  oh well, thanks in advance, lol

Nintendo Gaming / si

« on: June 21, 2003, 11:01:15 AM »

what all would you like to see in the next Nintendo console?  

I want some way of turning it on/off without walking over to the console and hitting the button.  I mean, I can sit on the couch and turn the TV and dvd/surround sound on and off, but I still have to walk that 8 feet just to turn off my GC; just doesn't make sense.  
it'd also be cool if EVERY first party controller was like a wavebird (wireless), and if the transmitter was already built in the console, so you would only have to buy the controller itself.  this would reduce 3rd party crap.  but on the otherhand, it may piss some 3rd party developers off because they cant rip people off with their crummy controllers.  
thirdly, Id like to see the return of the mini-discs.  it really pisses me off when a ps2 or xbox game has easy, quick navigable menus so you can just fly through it, but you have to wait 3 minutes before you can actually play the game.  
last of all, I want (this has nothing to do with the console) Nintendo to not come out letting sony and microsoft run all over them, letting them say that the Nintendo console is "just for kids."  if Nintendo would've released some propaganda--if you will--about how it is not a kiddy console, most people wouldn't think what sony and ms say about it.  but instead, Nintendo leaned back in their laz-i-boys and took it like a bitch.

anyways, what do you want to see in the next Big N console?

Im not sure if everyone's seen this already but on codejunkies.com, Datel has a new keyboard out.  It's just $19.99, too.  With my luck this is old news, but its new to me.  Oh well

Nintendo Gaming / Rally games

« on: May 14, 2003, 11:07:05 AM »

Here's how it is:  I have exactly $22 for a new game.  There aren't many racing games for $20, so I've narrowed it down to either Dakar 2 or Pro Rally.  From what I've heard, neither of these are great, but, being a fan of motor racing, I'm getting one of them one way or another.  The thing I've found that most people say is wrong with Dakar 2 is that the graphics are bad and it's too "arcady" feeling.  Pro Rally seems to just be that it's an arcade-style game, and you can't change views.  Has anyone played either of these (or both) that can help me out?  I'm leaning towards Pro Rally because it's actual cars, and not SUVs, trucks, and motorcycles.
