Why does nintendo have to release all the most anticipated games at once??? PN03, Mario Kart, Twin Snakes, SC2, Wrestlemania, F Zero, and viewtiful joe! thats 350 dollars right there! Thats just like them, to unleash a juggernaut of games in a 3 month span. Looks like im gonna have to sell my body down in hollywood.

Not to mention all of the futurama, family guy, and simpsons box sets that are also coming out in the next 2 months!!!

I know what you mean, and you didint even mention half the games I need to get for Cube this year. And you dont even get money if you donate blood here, so thats out too. They expect as to give it becauseits the right thing to do...yeah right.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #2 on:** August 15, 2003, 10:37:36 AM »

Why blood is basically unneeded in surgery just for incompetant surgons.

PIAC · « **Reply #3 on:** August 15, 2003, 11:07:47 PM »

i agree whole heartedly, VJ, SC2, AC (only just coming out here), Mario Golf, MKDD, Fzero, thats $500 right there, and there are more games i want than that -__- CURSES.

Looks like I am gonna have to cut down my purcaces to the essentials, since there are also PC games for me to get... VJ, F-Zero, Homeworld 2, Neverwinter Nights exp. pack, my wallets gonna be hurtin' this fall.

Yeah, a lot of games are certainly going to get lost in the shuffle again this year. Nintendo is learning that they can release big titles during other quarters though, with the big success they had with Zelda and Pokemon this year, and next year's February Final Fantasy release. The rest of the industry just needs to follow suit.

ThePerm · « **Reply #6 on:** August 16, 2003, 11:31:39 AM »

If I was going to get all those games you said at the start it would cost me over $600 brand new. You think you've got it bad.

PIAC · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2003, 06:02:47 PM »

well, from the e3 dvd, im upto about $1600 worth of games i want, i can maybe wittle that down a little, but im still going to be screwed out of getting my self a car. looks like ill have to get a loan :\

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #10 on:** August 16, 2003, 08:04:43 PM »

It's even worse for us Aussies. By the way things are going, all the great third party games will get discontinued mere weeks after their launch here. *Looks over at Burnout 2 and Skies*

I'll either have to sell my body and get all the games on their launch, or um... Aw hell, selling my body sounds like an adventure.

That's the prime disadvantage of capitalism... Grrr... I HOPE they drop the prices soon, EUR60 per game IS TOO MUCH.

Pale · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2003, 11:01:16 PM »

I personally think 40 usd for a prime release is a good deal, and secondary releases should be 30. Thats the price point i want and i don't think that is too much to ask.

vroenis · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2003, 11:26:51 PM »

yeah, have a heart for the aussies - we pay minimum aus$89 per game, ts2 was aus$109, and most others are $99
and you all think you don't have any money???
gar - at least we'll get the games more spaced out... as-in, SIXTY-NINE YEARS after everyone else, or not at all.
which means importing - YAY! even MORE costly...
ok, i stop now.

Well for what it's worth you can rest $10 easier. Seems to be forgotten that VJ is a mere $40 new....praise to be to teh Capcom! Personally I limited myself to 3 absolutely must own titles and everything else I will get when I can. Those titles are SCII (Fully paid pre-order), VJ ($5 down on it...friend of mine is paying of the rest), and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (I'd add Friend of Minerla Town here too but I have yet another friend of mine who is buying me this game as well...collecting and cashing in favors is a good thing I tell you!)

Hey, stop complaining about release dates, Aussies.

You get Mario Kart before the US and Europe. *runz*

PIAC · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2003, 10:10:41 AM »

the day chronotrigger is released here is the day i will stop complaining about release dates

ThePerm · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2003, 11:34:29 AM »

has it been released on psx over there?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2003, 12:14:43 PM »

I wasn't aware it was released for the PSX. I've looked on a bunch of places and can't find it. Do you know where I can find it?

PIAC · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2003, 08:59:26 PM »

its called final fantasy chronicals, and im not sure if it has or hasn't

but i do know it has really long loading times, so i want the snes original

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #24 on:** August 19, 2003, 05:33:55 PM »

If you have the cartride you have the best running version. I found that most of the PSX comps from Square have "problems". And the FMVs added are basically only for the begining and the end, so their is no point. (I own all the comps.)
