Now if only Intelligent Systems would make a Advance Wars game on GCN.

Doesnt japan have a "Wars" game on every Nintendo System?  If so has anyone heard of a "Wars" game for GCN?

I could really see a Nintendo V.S. Sega Melee kinda game but thats it.

It could be a really good game too.

It would be hilaious to see one of the super monkey ball monkies included!

I mean both companies have a long history, i wonder how many trophies would there be!

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Critic's Choice?

« on: March 30, 2004, 01:27:25 PM »

Critics choice sounds better, cause with gamer's choice or hardcore gamer's choice just sounds like nintendo is desprately trying to sound cool or something.

Critics Choice is a marvelous idea, they should just replace the player's choice with the Critics Choice.

I would say Eternal Darkness, Gladius, Animal Crossing.

I would also add a lot of quoted reviews on the back and the covers i.e. "PlanetGameCube 10 out of 10"

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Gamecube Online

« on: March 27, 2004, 10:06:49 AM »

and yet sometimes thats what makes the game no fun.......

I own Xbox live and i hardly use it ever!

ppl playing online are either really mean or have issues, some ppl are really cool but most competitive games will have too many video game jocks.

If online gaming is ever gonna really revoultionalize gaming it needs some more games that are not about direct competition.

Online RPGs would be a better route, Zelda, Pokemon.  Enough with all the FPS.

dammit i was stupid i just bought this XIX recently (like 4 days ago).  Please tell me this game is gonna come out way later in the future.  Especially since this game sounds promising and the new story mode seems very cool.

Please god (Rick Powers) o please say i didnt just waste my money and now have to buy this game too.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:What's the best NTSC portable screen for gamecube?

« on: March 13, 2004, 06:44:17 PM »

First off i was in your same situation i looked up everything about LCD screens and researched my ass off.

I have the Intec screen and i would say it has fully satisfied me, and is prolly better than any other U.S lcd screens.  The only thing i dont like about it is that since it is a mini screen some games are plain out not right for such a small screen such as football games or soccer, almost any other game though it would be fine just stay away from games with a far view.

The Intec Screen u can even buy a GCN battery supply sold separtely so u can have a totally portable GCN.  I would give the screen a 9/10 because it is visually good and if i cant play on a real tv i really dont mind at all playing on the Intec screen at home.

Hope that helps.

« on: March 13, 2004, 05:46:18 PM »

Wow im sorry u guys, i kind of sent this disscussion a little off topic.

Lets get back on topic.  Crsytal Chronicles is worth the money if u have friends who will be able to play it.  Otherwise the single player is a bit lackluster.  The game is essentially like Kingdom Hearts but it still doesnt seem that good in single player.  Once u go multi player u will never want to go back to single player..........ever!

I would rate the game a 8.5 for multi but only a 7 for single.

i know pricing is bad in european areas but $99.95?  Is that a typo? Or do u Aussies really have to pay that much money?  If so how much is 99.95 in your country, For example how much would milk cost?

I'm not sure if anyone knew this but i just accidentally found something out.  If u are playing multiplayer and 2 ppl use fire u can make it not only fira, but firaga.  At first i thought fire + fire = fira but i found that if both players lock on in one spot and one releases early and the second player releases say about 2-3 seconds later (the 1st player is stuck charging his spell rather than actually releasing the fire) and it will turn into firaga.  It happend on accident but now we can do it with ease.  If someone else already knew this then im a dumbass and if not then hooray for me!

TalkBack / RE:Nintendo Sued, Settles Seizure Case

« on: March 08, 2004, 08:34:49 PM »

your right this is pathetic, ive owned a ps2 and an xbox, and i dont recall any warnings at all.  If anything Nintendo is the most safest system to own.  If anyone is at fault it is the parent for letting the child play video games too long and have a seizure occur.  Outrageous.  So if Nintendo is sued then shouldn't every video game developer be sued.........hey wait thats a good idea....go bark up EA's tree, heck take Midway while your at it!

Edit: wait a minute Disney is not safe....almost every one of their movies contains explicit stuff(pornographic images, language)  if u look hard enough u can see a bunch of explicit stuff like on the cover of the original little mermaid vhs there is a big D#%K in there, and of course lion king spelling out SEX, trust me there is more though!

wow u spelled it, that is so bad ass. lol.

How about some sequels to some new franchises. such as golden sun, or a new advanced wars game (well technically it isnt a new franchise for japan but it is in the usa), and of course the mario and luigi game.  I wonder how good the wireless link thing will work on SP.

If i were u i would listen to Bill, just get the nintendo 251 its well worth it.  If not try stores that arent known to sell games like sam goody stores, they usually will have cheap 3rd party stuff on clearance.

yes u can play 2-3 other ppl, but everyone needs a gba and gba/gcn cable.  Trust me u will love the team play in this game it is so fun, sometimes hilarious when one of your friends dies in the begining of a level and he can't be brought back untill u get a life spell, which sometimes can take a long time in certain levels.  So during those times u just laugh at them

I would like to see a game based on a character who is hunting a man for revenge.  Say his wife and family were killed or something.  1st screen would be for urself and say ur character had preminissions or something and would show up on ur 2nd screen which would give u clues about what your enemy did or will do or an idea of where he or she is.  And then finally in the end u catch ur killer and it turns out it is your best friend or somethin.

Or How about a squad based fps where u are the captain on one screen and the second screen would be the view of your teammates, and u just press a button to switch from teammate to teammate.  Like say u r a swat team member and u r gonna raid a drug house, so u use ur teammates views to locate any problems u might face once u enter the house or know the location of the guy u r gonna arrest.

Or how about a WWE smackdown game where when u r in a career and say ur character is in a match the 2nd screen would actually show a tv like broadcast of the event like in real life, and the 2nd screen would show enemies leaving their locker rooms to interfere.  Then say other characters will have feuds and u can watch it all unfold on the second screen while u r in a match.  Then say if u weren't in a match then the 2nd screen would show matches occuring while u are being interviewed or something.

i dunno how good these are but i just thought them up in like 5min.  Let me know what ya think.

Please god do not let them make the movie, as much as i am a fan of soul calibur I would seriously not want the guys who brought us American Pie and Final Destination to make this game.  I bet if Mel Gibson could direct this movie it would be Heaven, lol.  I hope i didnt affend any jews.

General Chat / RE:Anti-Aliasing?

« on: February 23, 2004, 07:35:31 PM »

Thank you guys for the replies, and by the way early ps2 games suffered horribly with jaggies because developers did not know how to do anti-aliasing on ps2 and most early ps2 games had many jaggies, i forget what developer found out how to do it but i remember that they freely told out the ps2 dev community.  I don't understand why they would tell the dev community how to do it for free, you think they would benefiet by keeping the secret to themselves.

General Chat / RE: Anti-Aliasing?

« on: February 23, 2004, 07:22:42 AM »

ok, um let me rephrase then.

Do you think that anti-aliasing is important in gaming?  

And since anti-aliasing is a technique that uses tones and shades of colors of an object in a game to blur the jaggies or stairs look, Do you think that the right choice on a color is important to have the object look real and not jagged.
