Movies & TV / Re: Rate the last movie you've seen

« on: September 17, 2010, 07:31:21 PM »

So I just saw Alpha & Omega, despite the flood of CGI animated films we've had this year, I thought this one had some good dialogue and action to make it worth watching to the end. My rating: 8/10

I think the answer should be obvious: Jon Lindemann.

I'm guessing Treasure's enthusiasm for the 3DS will make Greg happy at the thought of getting more Sin & Punishment-esque titles.

To my knowledge, this is the first time we're getting a garden simulator. So who called this one? 

Last year's Gardening Mama from Majesco.

Oh... Right. I totally forgot all about that one.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: DS price drop

« on: September 15, 2010, 10:41:05 AM »

Didn't the original style DS have a price drop to $99 when the DSlite dropped to $129? I mean, it was pretty much sold out in every single store... but I was thinking it dropped.

If there was, I missed it. I just recall that the original DS model stopped appearing on store shelves within a couple of months after the Lite was introduced.

Yeah, while some of the Green Stars were genuinely challenging to get to, a good number of them also felt tacked on. I liked how some where in plain sight while others were like "How the heck do I get that?"

TalkBack / Re: Capcom to Announce Four New Games at Tokyo Game Show

« on: September 15, 2010, 10:27:07 AM »

So far, I've read on IGN that Capcom unveiled a new Devil May Cry game and also more stuff on Dead Rising 2.

On an unrelated note, Team Ninja unveiled Ninja Gaiden III, EA showed off Alice Madness Returns and Shadow of the Damned . These announcements are still new but TGS seems to be underway. Totally forgot that considerable time zone difference. 

And on a completely different note, I saw an ad that claimed to give away a free case to everyone who buys a DSi. The company behind the claim: GameStop.

Danny Phantom is still one of my favorite Nickelodeon shows and it was a shame that it got cut down after three seasons. I would certainly let it have at least one or two more.

I do plan on getting this one eventually. In the mean time, there has been a thoroughly Mega64 skit placed on YouTube in time its release.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: DS price drop

« on: September 14, 2010, 04:11:20 PM »

It is amazing that after all these years the DS (any model) hasn't dropped down to $99 yet. In November the DS will be 6 years old.

Perhaps because it's still selling quite well. If you'll recall, the GameCube sagged pretty well behind its competitors and within two years or so, it was down to 100. The Wii did sell quite well and it took three years for a price drop. Maybe the DS price drop doesn't come along often due to sales or because Nintendo introduces new models/colors every few months.

Maybe to build up hype for RE: Revelations, we'll get a 3-D version of the first RE game. :p

Or maybe we will get something Mega Man related, other than Universe. Legends or X perhaps?

And of course, I want to see a lot of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 stuff. =D

They're still here.  Karlie's dream of size 9 UGGs is one week closer to reality.

So you're taking Jonny's advice and regifting them?

TalkBack / Re: Sonic Colors Aims to Have 2D Sonic Quality

« on: September 14, 2010, 01:50:11 PM »

The 2-D Sonic games are a nice blend of speed AND platforming; a lot of the recent console titles have just been about blazing speed. If they can keep the former in mind, then this will be quite promising. My favorite title from recent history is Unleashed, and I think it pulled it off quite well even if the Werehog levels were not as desired nor executed as well as they could have been.

Looks quite nice but the lack of analog sticks does restrict its capability to NES, SNES, and perhaps Genesis Virtual Console titles.

Perhaps this is their solution to not putting Super Mario All-Stars on Virtual Console in that case?

Looks to be quite a nice package, but I presume the caveat is that it's literally just Super Mario All-Stars shoved onto a Wii disc?

I'm gonna say $200. TGS is this week, so perhaps we'll get the release date/price. Part of me is saying that Japan will be getting the system before the year is out...

I'll be sticking with my current avatar for now but...

A. Any chance of getting Jon, the DJ Hero from RFN episode 208?

B. Since James called the PS3 as "literally the Jon Lindemann of consoles" in an outtake from a previous RFN episode, any chance of seeing a hybrid of that?
