Nintendo Gaming / RE: Neat idea that's probably been thought of...
« on: March 15, 2004, 10:56:27 PM »
The big question is: If companies were interested in this to begin with, why aren't more of them offering PC downloads NOW?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Silocon Knights + Konomi = Nintendo's revival?
« on: March 14, 2004, 04:00:20 PM »
I'd guess that SK has one more game left in them for GC before they focus on a next-gen project. They do seem pretty confident that they'll be collaborating with Kojima again sometime though.

The story's still up, the Talkback thread was just eaten -- which just sucks through and through. I hope that other guy doesn't think we did it on purpose. I edited in a link to this thread too.

This is one of those things that NOA and NCL have arguments about. NOA would love to drop the price, but they're not getting the go-ahead from Japan.
On a similar note, it will be interesting to see how cheap NOA can get the Famicom Mini selections over here.

TalkBack / RE: Prince of Persia Movie in the Works
« on: March 12, 2004, 05:53:37 AM »
Actually, one of the things EA is interested in is co-developing franchises with Hollywood and getting both products released at the same time. It worked pretty well for them with Lord of the Rings and both the games and the movies can share a lot of the same marketing resources. Of course as gamers, we realize that trying to meet the screen date usually results in a crappier game.

I edited a few things here. For one, "according to underground sources" was more like "according to Daniel Bloodworth's rampant speculation that was misinterpreted as news this morning". Plus, I do think that Nintendo might try to pull this off here. They are planning to bring over the wireless adapter after all.

1) Yes
2) As long as you aren't currently in a dungeon
3) No, that's what batteries are for. Get some good rechargeables if you have an old GBA.

When everyone else was talking about online during the panel discussion at DICE, Perrin mentioned wireless as an alternative that Nintendo is focusing on. I have a feeling that this is the start of a very significant new strategy on Nintendo's part.
