Nintendo Gaming / Resurrect Double Dragon

« on: April 08, 2003, 09:06:49 AM »

unfortunately technos japan the creators of renegade, river city ransom, double dragon and the whole Nekketsu series went out of business...its really sad. Im working on getting peopel into my company and my main goal is to bring back co-op games...and not only bring them back but heavily innovate on them. My idea is to start off as a club, im getting readyto post flyers all aroudn my college campus. Im going to try to get as many peopelin the lub as possible...each one with a skill to contribute. We will work on a project until we have it pretty much completed and when that happens form a company and shop aroudn publishers. But really of all the games i have beaten recently old school river city ransom is the msot inspirational.

Nintendo Gaming / the gameboy to gamecube scam

« on: April 07, 2003, 08:51:15 AM »

you could borrow these thigns from freinds or rent them.....you dont have to buy didly squat. I have a link cable and a gba..i got the gba because i wanted one forever so i could play snes games in the palm of my hands. The link cable is cheap. With animal crossing i can edit my paterns without having to pay bells or i can download nes games to my gba(their playble in animal crossing as well without the gba). With perfect dark and the transfer pack there was this feature that allowed you to unloack special stuff in the game only by having the gbc game and putting it in the transfer pack when you played pd...you know what i never used it and it never bothered me....3 years later....its still not bothering me. For metroid im going to borrow his metroid fusion and get metroid 1 and the suit. For zelda i already had a gba and a link cable...cool tingle....
tingle doesnt do much for you people. He can bomb things for you like pirate ships or hard to reach places(although once you get bombs he becomes pretty useless) he can also protect your ass with the tingle sheild which makes you look like your a super saiyen(you glow and shit...looks cool.) Anywyas you dont need these features to beat the game....which is why you shouldnt complain. If you did need them then there would be reason, but since the game is still there and completable there is unfounded logic. That which doesn't hurt you isn't viable for complaint.

"I have to say I am seriously pissed at all these new games Nintendo is releasing that only give you certain options if you are connected to a gameboy."

this isnt really unlocking options this is kindof a free bonus for those who have a gameboy...you cant use the tingle tuner without a gameboy. It wouldnt work.....this is more akin to being able to see your stats on a dreamcast vmu then anything...there are no expensive lcd memory cards so they use gba instead.

" bought a gamecube, and I buy games for the gamecube, I should not have to buy a handheld unit in order to fully use what I have already purchased, the stupid tingle tuner and original metroid you can open are perfect examples. have no desire at all to own or play a handheld unit, I barely have enough time to play the freaking console. If nintendo wants to have these things in thier games, so be it, but at least give poeple who dont want to buy a GBA another way to open and use these options."

metroid could be unlockable thorugh the game yes....but meh...like i saidyou could borrow a freidns cable and metroid...no charge to you. also like i said the tingle tuner would be impossible otherwise.

"this is honestly a stunt that Microsoft would pull and everyone would be screaming monopoly. I dont see this as any differant and including IE with the Windows disk."

This is nothing like microsoft giving away IE....certainly if nintendo gave away free metroid with zelda then it would be similar...but their not trying to put anyone out of business with including metroid1 in prime. there is a difference between computer applications where the competition gets decimated because their competitior released software at a better price(free)...this is like buying two packs of cerial and taking the proofs of purchase and sending them in to get a disney bobblehead. There is onyl one metroid..there couldnt be any other so their not competing with anyone...if someone else made a metorid the way they would get rid of them is by suing them for copyright infringement.

"Give me a choice Nintendo, dont force me to buy hardware I simply dont want. " Thier not forcing you to do anything. If they came in your hous and had a gun to your head and said "Buy a Fucking Gameboy Bitch!" Then they would be forcing you. right now they are just giving you choices.

i bet next you'll complain about the gameboy player. "it should have been there to start...i should have had my gamecube with the ability to play gmaeboy games from the start....this is of coarse even though it would be more expensive and nto everyone wants the features...still it should have been there from the start...."

Nintendo Gaming / what does everyone think of the tingle tuner?

« on: April 05, 2003, 08:37:38 PM »

i got mine at toys r us and i see it at wal mart all the time...for people who complain...its a cheap price to pay for connectivity...you should already have a gameboy and if you didnt it wont hurt your game experience but it sure is cool.

« on: April 05, 2003, 08:34:58 PM »

yeah...majora's maks was great. Its bosses were too easy and had too few dungeons...but all that aside it was freakign awesome. The attention to detail was great...the story was just what i needed...is it me or is majora just one evil little bastard compared to ganon.

Nintendo Gaming / Kokiri means lumberjack!

« on: April 05, 2003, 08:24:48 PM »

i mean iv heard it on many websites and whatnot and as i said nintendo likes to play with words....olimar mario backwords......i think i heard in an interview with miyamoto him talking about how he got it or at least how his team came up with it.

Nintendo Gaming / Kokiri means lumberjack!

Nintendo Gaming / A deeper meaning to a name?

« on: April 05, 2003, 05:48:42 PM »

hmmm...there are three sides to the triforce...and one dark space...making four triangles....
the 4 pillars of zelda are the hero, the villian, the royal family, and the sages.
a very common Goldfish family are Tetras, shes out to sea...like a fish
maybe her japanese name is different.....

Nintendo Gaming / Zelda WW = OoT 100 years later ?

Nintendo Gaming / Vertical Lines in Windwaker

« on: April 05, 2003, 03:27:22 PM »

yeah its definitely not rain...rain is obviously rain...this sticks on the screen like a status sprite about 8 vertical lines that appear towards the middle of the screen going from left to right...they dont take up the whole screen just a small section in the middle. I have a tv about 10 years old...goldstar...i also use a pelican multiconsole rca switcher.

General Chat / war in iraq

« on: April 05, 2003, 03:23:54 PM »

aamericans dont hate the french...however we have playfully made fun of them since ww2 for giving up to germany. Its not hatred at all. The thing that really has been going on between us and france recently is that france criticised america. And here we find is that they have helped us. IUt shows their criticm is invalid and that they are actually covering themselves up. Just liek in godzilla, france made godzilla and like they seem to do as a pattern is cover it up.

Nintendo Gaming / Is Nintendo Really Smarter Than They Let On?

« on: April 04, 2003, 07:17:50 PM »

mouse_clicker...during inflation and a bad economy its not really a good idea to keep your money. You keep it and it loses value...however games really odnt have this problem due to price fixing.

There is alot of better democracies out there besides America. Like Canada and Greece for example are a few of many. Why move to Iraq? Just move up to Canada atleast they don't start wars with people like the blood thirsty American government. No I am not Canadian either.  

what are you talkign about greece isnt a grea democracy! they banned video games for several months! They didnt even ask the people.... they just did it. Boy did those people get angry.

ok lets go on the topics one by one.

Bush: George W. Bush gets alot of flack because alot of people didnt like his tight assed father. This one however i believe is a little different. He shows great flexibility compared to alot of presidents. When we dont like bush because of his father we are genetically steriotyping him.  For all you foreigners who dont understand how america works. We have three branches of government judiciary, legislative, and executive.
we have a system called checks and balances. What this does is allow for each branch to check to see if the other is overstepping its power. I wouldnt fear Bush he's not a tyrant. In fact it would be incredibly hard to become a tyrant in this country. We have very short terms compared to many countries. each senator and representative has 2 year terms with no term limits. Justices however have a life term but corruption isnt really a factor in the job they do and their job is to interpret the constitutionality of law. the Chief Executive officer of the country has a 4 year term with a maximum ability to have 2 terms. They can only have 2 terms if we vote for him twice. Which probably wont happen because by the time hes done we will want a better economy so we will probably elect some democrat similar to clinton after bush. Heck the way things are going
Hillary Clinton may just be the next president. For patterns iv noticed Republicans are great for war, democrats are great for the economy....anyways.... as long as its not liberman....darn censorship and policies...

oil: This isn't a good enough reason to invade iraq, although it will ahve some benifits for our economy.

al jazeera: Al jazeera doesnt have any competition i nthe arab world and is widely suspected to be entirely anti american and basically just there as anti american propaganda. I remember there were soime jokes on fox news saying something to the extent "man al jazeera needs a competitor, maybe then they'll keep honest". In the arab news world there is only one source which is never a good thing. In europe and in north america there are severral news sources. Sometimes i flip the channel to telemundo or univision to see if their reporting. I onlyu know a bit of spanish but its ebnough to understand the news because of all the buzzwords......hell i should wwatch spanish news mroe often..it may be a goo way to learn the language.

Nintendo Gaming / Where are the cell-shading naysayers?

« on: April 02, 2003, 08:27:59 PM »

the only thing really real looking about ocarina was the water, castle, and grass textures. Everything else was very cartoony. The roads, the npcs, link, enemies.  You cant say its that the graphics are pixalted, polygonal, and blocky because you could look at similar games at the time like metal gear(although it had some anime character icons in the select transmissions), goldeneye, and final fantasy 8(and thats a bit of a tweener...the characters ahve rerealistic lighting and texturing...proportions,...etc but the faces still have big eyes and pointy chins and colorful hair....but compare 8 to the movie and yeah.....) Anywyas Ocarina was pretty cartoony and i always realised that.


anime vs cartoons
There really is no difference between cartoons and anime. Anime follows more similar styles set by Osamu Tezuka who was actually inspired by disney and betty boop and has devloped in a way that makes for continuous storylines wheras american cartoons always seem to reset with each episode. American cartoons dont follow a similar stlye at all. They pretty mcuh all look different. Most Anime is usually based after a manga(a japanese version of the comic book most commonly in black and white) and very few mangas become cartoons. I really like anime...its a thing that entertains me. I think pretty much they have devloped to be superior to american cartoons because the way their method has allowed hem to get more done. The only   series of american cartoons iv seen are disney, loony toons, and the simpsons when i talk about style. Everythign else is just way out there.

Nintendo Gaming / Starfox Adv. = Zelda. I don't understand why people did not like it.

« on: April 02, 2003, 07:28:14 AM »

i liked banjo kazooie....i dispise tooie...how do you expect peopel to play with a game with framerae like that?!!!! Its sickening...BK had soem new gameplay. Collectin wasnt old yet and i liked learning new moves....BT was a framerate disaster with nothign new.

Starfox was a decent game. A technical masterpiece. But it was very frustrating and ill conceived at times. Lets justs say the game didnt break my world. Games that have broken my world. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros. 1-3, super metroid, actraiser, mk2, sonic and knuckles, knights, virtua fighter, mario 64, metal gear, zelda 64, resident evil 2, Zelda: TWW, Gta3, Doom, Half-life, Soul Caliber, goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Alien vs Predator(jag), Cybermorph. From my standpoint Fable looks like it will be next....lets hope it lives up to some hype.

pointy chins, less then vissible noses, unaturally colored hair, big eyes...wtf people Ocarina of time was anime/manga styled. They really didnt change much. Theoretically switching to a cartoon look is more suiting to zelda. Zelda was always cartoony...hell i remember beign in toys r us playing majora's mask and soem one said it looked cartoony. All theyv doen is taken it a step further. Seriously half zelda games ever were was meeting homesexual characters that looked deformed and parodying them. Don't beleive me ask Tott(of coarse i was exagerating.....but you dont see people dancing around in the mdidle ages with rainbows on their backs always calling you guy...hey guy! i like to dance guy...wanna see my moves guy?). Everyone loved that. If they got rid of that it just wouldnt be zelda.
