Nintendo Gaming / Re: DS Budget line incoming?

« on: May 28, 2011, 02:04:58 AM »

Actually I did take a quick look at that Fake DS and saddly it's just an refurb unit.  Also, alot of "2nds" do exist but the ones I actually posted were most likely real units.

If people really wanted "cheap" DS then they'll just convert their smart phones over which sadly many people do.

I just check on ebay prices and an phat went for $28 and an lite went for $53.  If you do intend to get one there's quite an selection of used ones with bundles on there too.

"I'm considering getting a DS, especially if the Lite goes on clearance soon,"

Falls down.  How can you can yourself an gamer or even a nintendo fan.  Love my phat DS, best $70 I ever spent.

House of the Dead Overkill HD, loved it on the WII--great ending .

BTW:  Why did you bother getting the PlayStation Move navigation controller?  You should have gotten two wands instead.

Just finished Medal of Honor SP on the Xbox 360 and while I enjoyed it there was some glarring flaws.  For one it's freaking short (4 hours and that includes the 10 intro and 25 minutes of credits)--was able to finish it in one sitting.
Two, the AI hasn't improved at all with the series IMO.  There's two types of guys, there's the type that will stop in plain sight and the other who hids and pops out of the same damn position.  The game also relies on scripts way to much.  For example there's an AA MG nest and I storm the damn thing only to find out that I couldn't destory it at all and had to backtrack down the hill to an specific spot to get scripted scene. 

Overall, an solid 7 out of 10.

Don't look at me, my post count is still messed up.  It's gone down again?

But yeah, I don't mind getting smited but I would like to know who and why.

The NGP screen specs are 960 x 544 which is higher than standard TV specs but just a tad bit.  So yeah it's was never going be the same power as the PS3 but because it's running at an lower resolution it doesn't have to be.

I agree with Black, I think nintendo's next move it going include an packaged title.  The DS had Mario 64, and then the bigger bundles like Nintendodogs, BrianAge, Mario Kart, SuperMario Bros ect.  Think it's going be the next SMB game.

Didn't the 360 launch with Call of Duty 2, PGR3, PDO, Kameo, and Amped.  Wasn't bad at all of the US launch the Japanese laucnh was a disaster though.

The 3DS highest rated game is SSF4 which was released a year+ prior.  Ghost Recon is second at 8.0 and the rest fall below that.  At least in Japan the 3DS got an Layton game . 

Still I don't think it's going matter much as long as the end-of-the-year titles come out.

The game has official gone gold.  Glad Gearbox was able to take over the reins otherwise another milliena would have come and gone.

I always wanted to make an Co-Op game with Serious Sam, Duke, Bruce (Evil Dead) and throw in Bender because I simply love that potty-mouth robot.

I'll buy it, but I'm guessing it's going be another Japanese exclusive title from Nintendo.  Maybe Atlus can pick it up along with a few others.

Why not Travis?  They included Snake who's MIA on nintendo's console for how long?  Sure there's the remake and that sold just as poorly as NMH.

No sense to crap on someone's wish list.  Me, I think Nintendo should include more 3rd party characters.  Maybe take one character from all the major publishers to show some support.

Any news about an US release date?  It's been a year now and there's been little to no news that I've seen.
Anyone else wanting for this title?

Damn, finished the first time though and got the extremely bad ending .  Now I'm on my second play though and stuck on a stupid puzzle in the Captin's quarters.  Still loving it so far.

Actually that's not true, from what I've read, Ghost Recon is a turn-based tatics game for the 3DS.  Namely a spinoff with the same title, but it's 100% exclusive I think.

"Authorized Repair Centers that used to exist so long ago"  They still do.  When my WII broke, it went to a repair center right in my city, in fact I drive by it daily without even knowning it was there.  Nearly laughed my ass off when they shipped my WII back with overnight shipping, why bother when it only had to go 3 miles.  Still beats waiting a few weeks getting repaired.

"The costs of localization are higher than the forecasted return"

The costs can't really be all that much though--it's text based, not even voiced for crying out loud.  Maybe another publisher will be allowed to make the NA version.  Guess that's our last hope.

Not sure why anyone care about the 3DS sales at this point.  Nothing major launched with the unit and it was launched in March.  Wait until winter and more software is available.  I willing to bet it's going be pretty much sold out around X-mas time.

DeBlob 2 numbers are coming in--damn this game didn't sell on any platform.  Damn shame IMO .

Well finally gotten my hands on it, tried the demo unit which was playing SSF4.  Yeah not the best game to show off 3d effects kinda wished Gamestop used Pilot Wings instead. 

Overall I say what impressed me the most of the demo unit was the analog stick.  It felt great and I was pulling off ultras with utter ease.

It really did show up on NoE site.  Keep thinking this is another April Fool's joke but at least it's on the official site which means more than likely the US is getting it after all.  No sense not too considering it's already going be in English with english voice acting (though I'm glad for Japanese voices option).

Hopefully we'll hear about a release date soon.

Finally gotten around to playing Fable 3 (Xbox 360) and I actually found myself enjoying it.

What game allows you to have a 5 person orgy that are all male?  Better yet, it upgrades my weapon at the same time.  :0.  The game is filled with humor and even a bit of more serious topics and it mixes the two rather well IMO.  Not many games could do that. 

There's always a few drawbacks from the Fable series like it's freaking to damn easy.  Even if you die, you'll just continue from where you left off without the soul points you collected.  Hell I had to let them kill him just to see if I can die--yeah the game is that freaking easy that you can just tape down the magic button or fire button and beat the game.

Also, there's alot of fetch quests though these are easily done now with a killer quick travel but I really didn't need to be jumping from one town to the next as a mail carrier.  The overall quick travel map worked well enough but I wouldn't mind a map to go alone with that.  The game provides an trail to follow (yellow no less) but a couple of times I found that it didn't work 100%--ended up wasting as hour+ running laps.

Overall I like this game the best of the Fable series and anyone looking for an RPG with Sims elements than this game for you.  If you're a diehard stat RPG gamer than you'll better off skipping this one.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What Nintendo franchise do you want most on 3DS?

« on: April 01, 2011, 12:03:26 AM »

Wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to RS, though I hope they take events from after the movies.  If you read any of the novels you'll know what I mean.

I want all the sequels that made the orginal GBA great.  More Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, and damnit Final Fantasy Tatics.  Or course I'm dying for a Mario and Luigi sequel.  The last one Bowser's Inside Story was epic, puts Paper Mario to shame.

"Something I've wanted to see since the original DS as well as on the Wii has been a RTS game."  LOL, there is another me?  Ever since they announced the WII I've been waiting for all those PC's point & click RTS games and recieved none.  RTS games never sold all that well on a console but I thought this genertation they might actually try.

Wouldn't mind seeing a another Japanese RTS/RPG hybrid.

Actually it's a quote from Nintendo Power?  Did anyone actual read it from the mag or just from the net?  Earth Bound was the same, was plastered on the web as being a direct source from an upcoming Nintendo Power article which we only found out a month later didn't exist. Not that I fall for that sort of thing .

LOL, I meant if they made the WII as powerful as the xbox 360. Of course have extra res wouldn't mean much if the system couldn't handle it.
