Mario Chat / Re: Mario Haters...suck

I think Mario haters can hate Mario if they want to.

There was an argument on people being able to have their opinions on something close to this before, but I don't want to relive stupid arguments I'm just going to win again, though.

Well, obviously, they can choose to have that opinion, but [their opinion is still contemptible]. [Anyone's opinion is contemptible] who hates a character that there's nothing objectionable about.

You didn't win that argument, by the way. It was just cut short because it was becoming too nasty (and I admit that I was acting that way myself).

It would be really, REALLY cool if the other unique Kongs from DK64, Lanky and Chunky, appeared in this game also. DK64 is too great of a game for words; I only got a copy of it fairly recently, and already I've gotten more than 70 solid hours of gameplay out of it.

I voted SMW1, because of the personal memories involved with it.

I was about to freak out before I read that it was a joke.

But seriously, that joke was really stupid. Totally.

Video Game Chat / Diddy Kong Racing for DS

« on: May 12, 2006, 09:47:43 PM »

Check this out. Diddy Kong Racing is back for the DS! I've never played the original game except maybe once a really long time ago, so I don't really know much about it, but it may be that there's some new stuff in this version.

Go here for a picture of the gameplay and a video!

Holy..... Freakin'..... Crap!

Didn't someone tell the school officials about that?

I like how girls are a completely different race than the rest of humanity.

What?

Yeah, I realize that. But what they did still annoys me to no end.

Why, oh, why did people even have to bring up the subject of the Wii in this thread? Put this in the video game threads, people!!!

Nintendo does not have a bad rep. Among unbiased people, it has quite a good one (especially in the case of its handheld systems).

The GCN does not look like a "plasticy little toy" in the least.

If the PS3 does do better, it will probably be in large part because of the millions of idiots in this world who think GOOD games are "kiddy" and "un-cool" (I'm not targeting anyone here, obviously).



I should have mentioned the latest thing that made me furious with the people behind Playstation. They've freakin' copied Nintendo's idea for a motion-sensitive controller. The newly re-designed PS3 controller has some sort of tilt-sensing technology that, while it's not the same or as good as the Wii controller technology, is still blatant idea theft in my view.

I think it was a very smart move on Nintendo's part to include Snake in SSBB, due to the fact they are constantley referred to as "the kiddy company" (and the name Wii isn't going to help), but putting a character from an M rated game in one of their major titles could help shed that image. Oh and I doubt it'll be rated anything over T.

I still don't think it was a good move. Maybe an effective way to boost sales, but still not good. As far as standards go, it would have been best if they would have used characters from at least relatively innocent games. And I don't think the idiots who say "Nintendo is a kiddy company" really deserve consideration of any sort, to be honest about it.

But like I said, it likely doesn't matter that this character is in here, since he's only a character, and his mere presence doesn't add "M-ratedness" to the game.

Whoa. I didn't even know there were videos until I saw this post. The videos jerked me to my senses instantly. This game looks several thousand miles beyond cool.

This game is rather different from what I expected.

It has Wario! Finally! And Meta-Knight!

And it has third-party characters in it, which might even include Sonic!

I personally feel like they would have done better not to include a character from a game series like Metal Gear Solid (at least one of those games was rated M), but I suppose it doesn't matter, since it's just a character. I wonder what this game will end up being rated, though...?

That music is great. It's interesting that they're going to put such beautiful, uplifting music in a video game.

JULIUS CAESAR, BEST CONSUL EVER



Sorry, I couldn't resist.



Anyway, I feel the same way about Playstation as you guys do. Unfortunately, I can't help but get the sneaking feeling that stores will contain more games for each of the other two next-gen systems than ones for Wii. (Well, I don't know about that, but it just seems like it could be that way judging from the fact that at least one store I went to had almost NO DS games and LOTS of PSP games.)

But I still think the Wii will do quite well as far as sales; most unbiased people seem to love the idea of it.
