Did you guys see the part where Mario was rolling on a ball, and as he went faster the music sped up, then when he slowed down the music did at the same time?

Plus it looks like there's some 2D platforming also!

Additionally, I've heard that this games isn't a Wal*Mart exclusive in the great white north, as someone claims they bought it at an EB. Dunno if they were just crazy or what.

Dunno about brick-and-mortar stores, but it's available on all major Canadian online retailers, so I think the guy is probably right. Nintendo of Canada does a lot of these small things differently than NoA.

Whoa... wait a second! They didn't release this on the UK & Ireland update.. I usually check that version of the site (Canadian spelling FTW) so I didn't see the last few videos until now.

I wonder why they didn't include them.

Snake really can snap necks. It looks like it knocks someone out for a while. Is it a throw or a special?

I've never liked that part of his moveset. It's a bit too realistic compared to the lighthearted, cartoony violence in Smash Bros.

Also, is anyone else surprised by the content of the codec conversations? I mean...

"Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!"
"She's gotten a lot more... Agile."
"I bet if I took off this heavy gear, I could catch her."
"Her loss."

Wait, where are these?

2D Zelda = 3D Zelda.

Any Mario > Zelda

But darkheart is right - even on the forums no one is excited about this one, or at least isn't posting. I picked it up already and will start playing soon.

Yeah - Nintendo launched the Japanese Galaxy site, along with tonnes of videos.

I know I'm weak-willed, but I can't help myself from peeking at the videos. They're so absolutely astounding - from the music, to the Jungle Beat influence Manta racing! to the pointer usage.. *sigh*

But this is where it ends. The two other videos I saw are the last ones I will lay my eyes on until I get the game. That's a promise.

Goddammit vudu. As soon as I saw the thread title and who made it, I was going to post a reply reminding S_B about his iTunes and RE predictions. Then I realised that you would probably have had the same thoughts as me, so I scrolled down a bit. And sure enough, there was your post.

You think too much like me. Bastard.

Ugh, that's terrible.. I don't usually play basketball games, but I did own Live 2003 for the Cube. I wonder if EA Canada developed this game too - they've done a commendable job with their other Wii ones.

You seem like a big sports game fan - have you tried out Tiger Woods 08 for the DS? Apparently it's really good.

I'm just holding out for a hockey game.

That was simply incredible. Do you see the water and the reflections in the lake as Mario is walking towards the castle? And the dreamy Northern lights in the sky? And the night-time festival atmosphere? It brings tears to my eyes..  

EDIT: So is all this video coming out because Galaxy has been released in Japan already? Or is it just some sort of media blowout?

That's a software problem then..

I agree totally with jake - I can go hours playing e.g. Zelda without feeling any pain in my wrist or arm.

you're joking right?

Joking about not understanding the joke or having never played Pokemon? In any case, the answer would be no.

There's no particular reason I haven't played any of the games. I've just been wholly apathetic to the series - I guess it's one of my blemishes as a Nintendo fan. Though Pokemon is an atypical Nintendo game if there ever was one - even the Paper Mario series, while still an RPG, is full of Nintendo charm, style, and gameplay influence.

I'm still open to being convinced to start, though.

I don't hear voices. The words float into my mind and manifest themselves, making allowances for implied tone based on the structural composition of the language, as well as the tendencies I have subconsciously noticed of the poster.

General Chat / RE:2007-08 NHL Season

« on: September 27, 2007, 01:41:54 PM »

I'm quite interested in the England match - should be a nice changeup at the very least.

And yeah, watching the playoff games last year was just painful. I didn't think it was even possible to have such few scoring chances. Let's hope the Sedins become better pressure players, and Naslund steps up (yeah, I say the same sentence every year)..

I have always disliked Anaheim, especially because of their apathetic fans. I actually think that if anyone Detroit can beat them - they're my early Western pick. Ottawa's probably a safe pick for the east even though I don't care much for them. But the Rangers are looking really dangerous - for the first time since '97 they're an actual threat.

And you're right, the uniforms are just awful. I can't believe the tail is white - whose bloody idea was that?
