Wow, nothing much has been happening in the wonderful (?) world of Nintendo Australia it would seem...
Hmm, anybody know when Super Monkey Ball 2 gets released here? It's... Been... So... Long....

Oh yeah, while I'm here, I'll pimp a newcomer Australian band, Kissing with Aimee. Strange name, yeah. But their music is quite good, that's if you like the whole "I'm pissed off at the world" type punk music. The lead singer is the one and only Joel, or as some would know him as, Jivemaster from OC ReMix =D

Enjoy!

Termin8Anakin i persume it's your first year at uni? enjoy university, and yeah, classes are usually boring in the first week. unless you have a lecturer like me who uses the words/phases: wanker, bastard, poor ol' bastard, bloody bastard. no, really! there was a Pepsi stand (which i said to my friend; "Where's Britney Spears?") and a Ikea stand (huh?) at my university. the Pepsi stand were offering free tasting with the cans covered! like in the commercial. and the girls were kinda like booth babes at E3, which PGC seem to love! not that i was distracted or anything.

BTW, Infernal Monkey, i went to my local Harvey Norman store and they were not having a GC sale or giving away stock (most games were at 99.95 and i did ask the store person). you own me $3 for the petrol i wasted!

and super monkey ball 2 is released this friday (and i've got friday off)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....yee ha! time to go bananas once again (No. You are not! - A Friend). check out http://www.australia.infogrames.com.au, they've got all the release dates and info on sega games.

*Glances around room, throws paperclip at AiAi and runs off giggling like a schoolgirl*

Yeah, it would seem not every Harvey Norman is doing the whole marked down GC game thing. Damn you stores!

And thanks for that link man, I didn't even know Infogrames had an Aussie site *Sweat drop*
Damn, not only is SMB2 coming out tommorrow, but Sonic Mega Collection comes out Sunday, Gah! Stupid lack of funds!

*Rocks up to the EB counter with a copy of SMB2 in his hands, laughing like a demented school girl*
Here's my bank card, I say.
*I hand over my card. Guy swipes it.*
[BEEEEP]
Sorry, he says, the card doesn't seem to have any money on it.
*Knees shake, hands freeze, eyes widen*
WHAAAT? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
*Leaves EB looking like a....*

Oh, you get the idea. I have no money to buy this game! Arrgh!
I have.....*counts coins*......a total of 20 dollars in 5 and 10 cent coins.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #80 on:** March 06, 2003, 03:05:04 PM »

$20 in five and ten cent pieces?
That's your ticket to SMB2! Simply walk up to the counter, ask for a copy of SMB2, when he brings the shiny shrink wrapped sex-in-a-box back, throw the coins at him and run away with the game! (Giggling like a demented school girl, of course)

It'll be hours before they dig him out of the pile of coins!

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #81 on:** March 07, 2003, 07:22:26 PM »

yesterday (friday), i was in the city and went to myers (grace bros.) to get SMB2. seeing it not on the shelf, i went to counter and ask the guy. he told me the distribution was on strike and they were 3-4 weeks behind stock. WTF? nice way of running a department store myers! so i went target and again, they didn't have it. they guy at the counter didn't know much, except he said they may get it in the afternoon. so i went bananas (okay, not really). tomorrow (sunday), i give my local EB and target a ring. or i'll go bananas again.

Termin8Anakin, i live in Melbourne and go to Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn. it's a rather small uni.

Infernal Monkey, i don't accept a paper clip and IDs...

have any of you guys pre-ordered a game at EB? i thinking of pre-order zelda now just in case nintendo australia decides to get off their ass and give us the bonus disc. can you cancel a pre-order and get the $10 deposit back? because i might if nintendo australia doesn't and get it from europe.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #82 on:** March 07, 2003, 08:19:09 PM »

Hmm, I see no reason why EB World wouldn't refund the $10.. But you might get it back in store credit or something *shrugs shoulders*

As for SMB2, well, GameNation are pricks. It's been delayed till the 14th. Along with Sonic Mega Collection..

http://gamenation.com.au/product/?action=releaseschedule&platform=10

But hey, PSO is coming out that same day too... Which.. I find almost impossible to believe.
And Ikaruga comes out on May 9th! Huzzah!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #83 on:** March 08, 2003, 08:54:37 PM »

OK. First up.
Today, Sydney's 'Sunday Telegrapgh' newspaper had a Domayne catalogue in it. It has it's famous 50% for all Gamecube games and accessories sale back on, and it's on until the 30th of March!

Second. I went to Domayne (Auburn, NSW), and found no Super Monkey Ball 2. Damn. But you know what? For a Gamecube sale, there was nothing there. I got there, and i was like "WTF? Where's all the GC stuff?" I looked around near the XBox and PS2 shelves (3 massive shelves), and even the PSOne shelf, then the GBA shelf. I found the GC stuff in the middle of the aisle, all crammed on ONE table. Hell, there was more memory cards in the big crate than there were games. The weird thing is that there was not one Gamecube shelf anywhere. The PSOne and GBA shelves were 10 times bigger. The Gamecube console boxes were on the floor near the display unit. And there were 9. Did I miss the initial rush? Or was this it?

I think you should just forget going to Domayne, and show the catalogue to EB then get 60% off. Sick.
And SMB2 comes out on the 14th now, so that's OK.

Infernal and AiAi: EB should give it back in cash, since it IS a deposit, not an actual payment. If you go ahead with purchasing the game, the deposit just goes into the total price, so you'd only have to pay the extra 80 or so dollars. If they gave it back in EB gift vouchers, well, sue them.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #84 on:** March 08, 2003, 09:20:17 PM »

Yeah, I almost wet my pants upon opening the gaming page of the Domayne catalogue.. Know what sucks? I tried two different EB Worlds for a price match, and got nothing.
They have to ring up the Domayne stores to see how much the game you want is selling there. Don't ask me why, but they both did it (Along with Grace Bros.) and each time, I got told they didn't have the game/s in.

I later find out that this GC deal has been going for over a week now (From various people at Hyperactive), so that's why their range of games is rather... Uh, crap. All the good games are LONG gone from the majority of stores in NSW.

Arg!!

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #85 on:** March 09, 2003, 11:11:08 PM »

me: monkey ball delayed? arrrrggghhh! darkness has come!
parent: but it's only a week
me: 7 days = 7 years in gaming life
parent: stop talking rubbish.
me: but i need to go bananas, i can't wait a week
parent: well it's really 4 days from today. stuff this banana in your month for the time being.
me: okay

thanks for the EB info. and yeah, i'll see sue them if they give the $10 in EB gift vouchers.

shame there's no Domayne in Victoria. but i guess it saved me from buying more games. i've got a full house of games to play at the moment.

*Does a flying somersault back into the world of PGC and Gamecube*

Hey peeps! Just got back from Melbourne, went and saw the Grand Prix with my dad, a whole week off school, weeeeee! Anyways, has anyone seen Resident Evil Zero in stores yet? Coz isnt it sposed to be out? And Rayman3? Sonic Mega Collection? Super Monkey Ball 2? Are any of these games out yet??? I missed my lovely cube.... *Approaches his cube, attempts to flirt with it, gets rejected, rapes his gamecube* BAD GAMECUBE!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #87 on:** March 10, 2003, 01:14:08 AM »

Grand Prix huh? I was wondering why there was a lack of Mario on these forums.
When I bought ED, I showed the guy at EB Bankstown a catalogue for Games Wizards, and got a further discount. So I got ED for $88, rather than the usual $99. But you know what? They guy didn't ring up! He just told me, on the spot, that "yep, we do that here". So, I'm gonna try it again with SMB2, although, with the stories you've been telling me, it's probably not going to happen. And Domayne probably aren't gonna get a new shipment of Gamecube stuff anytime soon, if all the GC stuff was crammed onto a table, that was more filled with GC carry bags than GC Games.

Uh, are you OK dude? That was just plain weird. But, you've been away for a week, so, yeah.....

Mario · « **Reply #88 on:** March 10, 2003, 08:48:56 PM »

OMG RESIDENT EVIL ZERO IS OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Does a backflip* I saw it in teh shop at Kmart!!!!!! But i dont have enough money, gotta save the cash for some Metroid and Pokemon lovin... I reallllllllllllllyyyyy want RE0 though, nooooooooooo! Its either RE0 or Metroid..... damn, sorry re0

Oh and btw, i just thought i might add that Golden Sun 2 is coming out on April 18, if anyone cares and if you dont, ILL MAKE YOU CARE!!! Anways, Termin8Anakin, haha that name is teh funnies, are yu calling me weird, huh, cmon, ill take ya on right now......... hey, a penny! So wat was i sayingggg. oh yeah, i cant believe that you guys dont like sausage rolls, i mean, cmon, they help pirates when the termites come and can play...... WOW! A BLUE CAR!

*Puts down the alcohol and falls asleep*

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #89 on:** March 10, 2003, 09:48:12 PM »

Well, I don't like sausage rolls, due to them being made from... DEAD CLOWNS! (pause for crowd gasping)

Yes, that's right, delicious, yet hilarious clown meat! Mmm, you can really taste the baggy pants!

And yeah, I too saw RE0 today, yet I cried like a schoolgirl having female troubles as I saw the price, $110! Bloody hell, what do they think I am? Some kind of $110 person? A person who is made out of $100 notes and $10 notes? I DON'T THINK SO!
I only had a sad face and $60, which I spent on Anime DVD's, Love Hina volume 5 and 6 all the way! YEAH!

While walking home, I saw a garbage bin with a happy face, it sang a song about telephones and donkey eyes. I nodded my head and gave him a copy of The Unbreakable on DVD, he broke.

Then I sued the pants of some woman. I tried suing the panties off her, but no success.... NEXT TIME GADGET, NEXT TIME!

hey, anyone get nintendo australia's member newsletter? yeah, when i clicked it, i hoping it would be about the zelda bonus disc (so i can wet my pants), but no, they were hyping the GBA SP. *sign*

and mario, why didn't u tell me u would be at melbourne? we could've staged a riot at nintendo australia's HQ. i've never been to the GP, except been outside the fence (and climbing the fence as well). i don't find it useful going if you can't see the whole track, only seeing a small portion of it. my old school was a block away from Albert Park (on St Kilda road), and my year 12 physic class teacher took us down there (hence, us student climbing the fence to see the cars). i always found it funny that other schools further from Albert Park would close down during the GP, and mine didn't. and purple uniforms ruled, oh yeah!

Infernal Monkey, i've never heard of Love Hina? what it's about? (checking it out at madman.com.au) i like anime as much as the next person and Voltron ruled the day. i am currently really enjoying watching Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. chicks that kick ass make for entertaining TV.

and you guys should lay off the moonshine...

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #91 on:** March 11, 2003, 01:24:39 AM »

Love Hina's an anime about a situation that we would all LOVE to be in. It's about some guy in an all girl apartment building. Talk about lucky. Maybe. There's bound to be loads of problems, but you have to watch the anime. I've never seen it, so yeah.

And yeah, Monkey and Mario should stop selling death sticks and rethink the way they're living their lives. I mean, RE0 being out is a cause for celebration, but $110? COME ONE CAPCOM/NINTENDO! If two game discs cost 110 dollars, that would make one disc games 55 dollars! We are being ripped off! ARRGH!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #92 on:** March 11, 2003, 12:42:53 PM »

Yup, Love Hina's all about one very lucky guy who becomes the apartment manager for an all-girls, uh, apartment block. He's attempting to make it into Tokyo-U based on a promise he made to a girl when he was a wee-one.
It's hilarious, it has a deep storyline buried in there, but it's all about nose-bleeds, comedy and general uh, fun stuff. Sometimes it does get a bit disturbing (Giant mecha turtles, entering an RPG video game)

But it gets 75 thumbs up!

*Does a backflip off house into compost heap*
Mmmmm, stinky.

And death sticks Termin8? I don't know what you're talking about! No sir! What's that behind my back you ask? Why death sti*... Uh, hey look over there! A giant bottlecap!

*Starts running off but gets tired and takes a nap in the middle of a road*

Mario · « **Reply #93 on:** March 11, 2003, 01:36:08 PM »

Well i cracked open and bought RE0, and what are you guys talking about, it was only $99 where i got it at Kmart

I just started playing it, its awesome! If you liked REmake, then youll love RE0. The graphics are mindblowing! The opening video before the main menu looks like an ad, they should advertise this game, its friggin awesome... *Goes back to playing Resident Evil Zero*

Aiai, damn i forgot you lived in Melbourne, and anyways i didnt know i was going until the day before so i had to pack and stuff and yeah...

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #94 on:** March 11, 2003, 02:55:26 PM »

Bah, it's $110 at Kmart at Parramatta... And Blacktown don't even have it. I'm going into EB World on Friday to pick up a copy of Sonic Mega Collection, I might trade in some of my more crappy PS2 games to get money off RE0 while I'm there. Yay, I'll be broke once again!

*Gets back in box*

Mario · « **Reply #95 on:** March 11, 2003, 07:20:58 PM »

*Presses pause on Resident Evil Zero*

SONIC MEGA COLLECTION!!!!1111 SH!T!!!! I completely forgot about that game! Nooooooooooooooooo, now i dont have enough money for it.... Oh well Resident Evil Zero is owning me now, i LOVE the character zapping thing, and the graphics are real, they are REAL! Im in the train, played for about an hour, theres alot of scary parts near the begining, the gameplay is heaps improved upon the REmake. For some reason the first 10 or 20 minutes of the game arent so special, but after that it really heats up, man i love this game!

*Continues playing Resident Evil Zero*

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #96 on:** March 12, 2003, 11:44:56 PM »

I wonder if my friend has RE0 yet? Hmmm.
I might drop by for a visit.

I need a new game. I've bought the games which you can finish too easily.
-Rogue LEader. After doing it the first time, there's no motive to go and get all the medals.
-Nightfire. Same here, as with the difficulty levels.
-XG3. Cheats make this game fun, but easy, and for not too long as well. Double winnings, Infinite ammo and shields=boosting all the way, and breaking sound barriers every two seconds. I bought every weapon, upgrade and engine, and Ive got at least 4 million bucks in the bank still. Cool, but pointless, since after you finish the game, you can't race anymore in career mode.

Im gonna sell XG3 tomorrow, and buy SMB2. YAY!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #97 on:** March 13, 2003, 02:44:59 PM »

ARG!
GameNation screws us once again... I went to their site this morning and saw a nice "OUT NOW" on both SMB2 and Sonic Mega Collection in the GC release date section, so "Huzzah!" I scream, and off I go into town.

Get to EB...
No SMB2.... No SMC....

EB World Guy: "Nah, SMC has been shipped to our warehouses, so we'll have it in about Monday... SMB2? Dunno mate"

;_;

Mario · « **Reply #98 on:** March 13, 2003, 06:36:43 PM »

Yeah i no, fugin hell, i casually strolled into Kmart wondering what the Sonic Mega Collection box would look like, i looked in the Gamecube section (my local Kmart has a rather large Gamecube section

) and NO SONIC MEGA COLLECTION

Fluckin hell, i was really lookin forward to that game too, im gonna buy it instead of Metroid

... It better be there on Monday... Oh and btw, thanks for the Sonic 3 ice cap remix Monkey, thats awesome! Im listening to it right now

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #99 on:** March 13, 2003, 06:39:02 PM »

No probs Mario

Ah well, the recent news that we are indeed getting the Zelda bonus disc here has sorta made some of my anger from the lack of SMC go away. (Wow, what a long sentence!)
