Nintendo Gaming / Do you regret getting RE 4 on Cube?

« on: June 17, 2007, 05:28:15 PM »

To RE4 cube owners,

I was wondering, with Resident Wiivil coming, do you regret plucking down the cash for the Cube version?  Would you buy the Wii Edition knowing it's a Wii port of the game you once owned?  If you are, are you expecting the controls to enhance or detract?

Nintendo Gaming / Finally succumbed to the Wii, some questions

« on: June 11, 2007, 02:59:56 PM »

It was long, but I finally slapped the money for one.  Last time I checked supplies here were okay, but were quickly disappearing which is no real news.  Interestingly, both the US and Japan Wii systems are appearing on stores.

I have some games, not a lot I reckon.  I have some mixed reactions from the games but some of them I really like.  And going back to those GC games are really cool.

Question is...

1.  Are there any decent WESTERN rpgs around?
2.  Are there any driving sims on Wii?
3.  Is Hajime no Ippo getting a US localization?

Thanks a lot!

General Gaming / Gamecube Preservation Guidelines?

« on: April 03, 2006, 04:21:19 PM »

Hi,

I got my Gamecube fixed and was informed that the lens is about to conk out.  I will probably have the lens replaced when my GC finally breathes its last.

I would like to ask you forum users for guidelines on how to keep the machine humming along.  This goes before and after the replacement.  I'd like to see my Gamecube lasting as long as my DC, which is still active since 1999 .

What's the best way to clean the lens?  Do you even clean the lens at all?  Storage tips... ANYTHING to keep my GC alive.

Is the plugs and slots the same as the ones on the GC?

Nintendo Gaming / My Gamecube

« on: April 07, 2005, 05:58:34 PM »

My experience of the gamecube has ranged from good, to okay, to bad, and now this... paperweight.

When I had my n64, I never had a problem about hardware stuff conking out.  NEVER.  And with the then, next gen consoles surfacing, I had simply stuck with my nintendo nose and bought myself a GC because of the games it had.  Little did I know that my love for Nintendo would come biting back in full force.

Okay, some games didn't live up to the hype, some did... and I absolutely love my list of GC games... it's just annoying that barely half a year since I bought the system, the games get harder to start up, sometimes having those read problems midway through the game.  I have heard of the lens misalignment stuff, and that I do not dare touch my GC and pretend to be some expert.  By the time my GC reached 1 year old, it was finished.  Nothing would read up, and I had tried to get hold of some Nintendo help, only to get the cold shoulder.

After stuffing it in a corner, one day, it miraculously worked.and I played it for a half a year more before it gave up yet again.  Sending e-mails and a postal mail to both Nintendo US and Japan have proven futile.  Absolutely the last console I will ever buy... I'd still want to play my old stuff here.

If anybody can help my stupid paperweight... any info would be nice.

The irony of having my n64 last 5 years without a hitch and the gc stupidly dying just barely 1+ years old... what frustration!
