Ewwww....

Anyway, anyone have a tally for how many games Rare has made for the DS/GBA vs. the 360/Xbox since leaving Nintendo? Be interesting to see.


I'm pretty sure it ends with It's Mr. Pants! and Banjo Pilot on GBA.

TalkBack / Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Hits 10 Million Worldwide
« on: July 30, 2007, 02:28:51 AM »
The latest iteration of Nintendo's blockbuster franchise has hit a new milestone.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14113

 The Diamond and Pearl versions of Pokémon were already huge hits before they came to the United States in April, and as can be seen in the latest NPD sales data, it's done extremely well here as well. It recently made its way to Europe, and combined with those sales so far, the latest iterations have hit the incredible milestone of 10 Million units sold worldwide.    


Not showing any signs of slowing down, we can expect Diamond and Pearl to continue on setting records. Stay tuned to Nintendo World Report as it occurs.

General Chat / RE: The Simpsons Movie
« on: July 30, 2007, 12:56:26 AM »
I used to be a fairly hardcore fan of The Simpsons, and count everything through Season 12 as treasured comedy. Since then, there's no doubt that the show's been on a steady decline, and in the last few years, I've stopped watching new episodes altogether. I went into this movie hoping to re-kindle my love with the series, so what did I think?

Eh.

It's not a bad movie - don't get me wrong. I didn't hate it as Evan did (though I can definitely see where he's coming from, and agree on a few points). It was just a bit of a mixed bag for me. There were hints to the heart that made the show great in its earlier years, but there was also too much of the gag-heavy nonsense that's plagued it since. If I had to grade  it, it'd be a 3/5. Worth seeing if you're a fan, because there's definitely enjoyment to be had, but I wouldn't expect anything magical.

TalkBack / Viva Piñata Coming to DS
« on: July 29, 2007, 09:11:28 PM »
The Xbox 360's critically acclaimed garden simulator is coming to Nintendo's handheld.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14111

 Though the original Viva Piñata didn't sell very well, Microsoft seems intent on making it a staple franchise, announcing a spin-off of sorts in Viva Piñata: Party Animals at E3, curiously not developed by Rare, but by Krome Studios. Though it seemed odd at the time that the original studio would not be heading up the project, it's now clear as to why: Rare is working on a different Viva project altogether.    


According to Kotaku, a DS version has been announced at Comic-Con, and unlike the Krome effort, this sequel seems to retain the original, garden simulation gameplay of the first game. Details are scarce, with the only real information being that players will have a top-down view.    


Stay tuned to Nintendo World Report for more on this game as it breaks.

Heh, it's more than likely they're just working, Shy. After all, Windy took 'em on to pick up the slack for the rest of us lazy bastards.

But yeah, this has "The Batman" written all over it.

What do you mean, "off the hook?" Jeez people, I've been here for like three years. I've got seniority over almost half the staff now.

Yeah, Stan's doing musicals now. Josh Daugherty left Japan, so he resigned from his Correspondent position. I didn't know the rest of them that well, but from what I understand, they moved on to other stuff.

Jonny's on vacation this week, so we all picked up the slack to make up for his absence. And lo and behold, the show doesn't go five minutes before an argument breaks out. Luckily, we were able to cool down with some listener mail and a truckload of news.    


For our feature this week, we go to task to discuss gaming's artistic merits in regard to recent comments made by Roger Ebert. It gets a little transcendental, but we try not to be too snobby.    


Remember, if you enjoy RFN, feel free to subscribe and review us on iTunes, and make sure you digg the show at the link above. See ya next week, folks!

I forgot Dan Wasielewski among those. He's Deezer.
Brad Mosbacher: AzureNightmare
Zach Miller: Halbred
Casey Basire: Case

I'm not sure if Michael Flynn and Michael Thompson have registered on the forums yet, so I'll let them introduce themselves when they feel it necessary.

Edit: It may seem like we took on a lot of people, but keep in mind that several staff members left recently, so we had to compensate for that.

This is Zach's first article here on NWR.

Evan was really busy the last couple days (read: being a Harry Potter nerd), so he couldn't make recording. Mike, Windy, and I still had some interesting comments, though.

This week's podcast covers Roger Ebert's recent comments on games as art as the featured discussion.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

(And no, Evan isn't there)

Back home I used a Belkin router, and it worked fine with both my Mac and Wii. At school, I can use the open Wi-Fi floating around for both.
