The Enjoy Your Massage! part was quite enjoyable, with all the Cho Aniki references at the end along with everyone's incredulous reaction to the apparent price tag.

Despite being another not-so-desired bridge title, Wii Party is racking up sales. Wonder if that moment will continue stateside.

Man, all that deer talk was hilarious.  What other strange things will WiiWare present?

The Nintendo fan in me says "Dang" while the 360 owner in me says "...Alright."

I'm none too familiar with this title so I can't say I'm excited for it. ^^;

Ah, no big deal. If this means more polish for the game, then do it HVS. Multi-console owners still have GoldenEye, Halo: Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and others to hold them over until then.

I think the only thing to do now is ensure that "Did you send us a pair of shoes?" becomes an Internet meme.

If it does, I will be extremely happy.

Losing Wii-exclusive status, now losing online play. It seems that fans of the original would say that this title has lost significant value.

Ah, I went 0 for 5 this time around. It's a bit embarrassing that I missed the second game because I played it a lot in its time.

Even if it is an underpowered port, critics might score it better than the other versions, as was the case with IGN and the first game.

It seems that part of me says, "Why would I buy this when I have a perfectly-function cartridge and SNES to play it on?" while the fan in me says, "All that great stuff that comes with it. Uh...!" It's kind of like the TvC dilemma I heard about on an episode of RFN a few weeks back.

Should this come to the U.S., then my avatar will convey my feelings quite well. 

Sounds like quite a package, so I hope we do get something to commemorate 25 years of Mario. (Hopefully even a segment about it on RFN.)

So the overall verdict on the game is that it's pretty good. That's pretty much all I need, so I figure I'll pick this one up tomorrow.

Just reading parts of this aloud induce instant laughter.

"Did you mail us shoes?"

I don't even know how you kept a straight face when they asked you this. It's that much better that the offending shoes eventually showed up at your doorstep. You should've kept the shoes, put them in a display case, and set them up on a wall in your room. It undoubtedly would've made a good conversation piece.

That is the funniest line I've heard in months.

On another note, it was a very entertaining segment. Surely, this is a tale that will be passed on.

The episode was great, but it was especially James' postal shoe odyssey that had me laughing the most. I certainly can't wait for the Other M discussions next time.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: DS price drop

« on: August 30, 2010, 12:52:34 PM »

I got it from Walmart, mainly due to the assistance I had from an unused gift card. I will admit, I thought of an XL for a few moments, but passed on it. I couldn't help but wonder if the 3DS will continue the DSi things...

TalkBack / Re: DSi Prices to Drop in September

« on: August 30, 2010, 12:50:39 PM »

And this comes right after I bought a DS Lite. :/

I thought about an XL for a few moments, but just decided to hold out for the 3DS. Some speculate that the price drop is preparation for the announcement of the announcement (and so on) about getting the 3DS sometime soon.

« on: August 30, 2010, 11:27:36 AM »

And this comes less than twenty-four hours after I bought a DS Lite. What are the odds of that?

(Even then, I'm in the boat of "wanting to play DSi stuff without having to buy a DSi".  : )

Reviving topics FTW. 

I read on IGN that the game's release date, as announced by Nintendo along with a 20 dollar DSi/DSi XL price drop, is November 29 of this year. Just after listening to a small discussion about it on the Newscast.

IGN just put up an article saying that Nintendo said Golden Sun: Dark Dawn would launch on November 29 of this year. Said article also mentioned a 20 dollar price drop for both DSi models in September. =D

Yeah, Scott Pilgrim's structure is kind of like NMH, only not as violent. =D

Speaking of which, I have two scores here...

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: 4/5 (A lot of awesome action and the video game influences were what made the movie for me.)

Despicable Me: 4/5 (A rather late movie, but it was still quite good. Some say it's better than the "vastly overrated" Toy Story 3 but I'm unsure of that.)

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Metroid Other M

« on: August 30, 2010, 10:19:29 AM »

So such a move on Samus' character could be the reason why heavy stories don't work well in Nintendo franchises. Sure, Zelda has a semi-epic story but wasn't the end to Twilight Princess a little too predictable? And with Galaxy 2, it didn't have a good beginning and ending like its predecessor had but the team's goal was just putting in some awesome levels. Someone said that Nintendo has been about gameplay above all other aspects and that doesn't look to be the point with Other M, as IGN points out in their review.

Any word on that "Being Able to Use Nunchuk" Power-Up? =D

On a not-so-light note, it seems that this game is starting up quite a debate on Samus' character here. One can't help but wonder if Nintendo will keep it that way or return her to her "former glory". Hey RFN crew, you have an idea for a discussion later on!
