Video Game Chat / Re: Cheap Nintendo Hate

« on: June 26, 2008, 02:37:17 PM »

DMC3: Special Edition is cheaper than normal DMC3; does that mean it sucks in a special way?

No, Capcom wanted more of our money.

Personally I'd hate to see another topic on who stole from the other first: Zelda Twilight Princess or Okami.

Okami's producer is a fan of the Zelda series. That's basically where the arguement stems from, stupidly enough.

Video Game Chat / Nintendo's core audience and 3rd Parties

« on: June 26, 2008, 02:32:54 PM »

Through out my experience with Nintendo consoles, the one thing that has always astonded me was the core Nintendo audience perspective on 3rd parties and their development studios. With the Wii being considered the technical underdog but selling by the bucket loads, what are on a majority of core audience minds? Simple: 3rd parties are not trying.

In UBIsoft's case, they have already dug a hole for themselves in the Nintendo fanbase and I highly doubt they can get the forgiveness anytime soon. UBI has already, stupidly, written off the entire Wii fanbase as "casual gamers". Hmm, fair enough, Wii Fit is selling by the bucket loads, but is everyone buying Wii Fit a casual gamer?

While UBI is receiving the brunt of the Nintendo's core audience scorn, what about other third parties? Are they safe from our supposed overlooking of their games?

I once read a saying on another Nintendo forum once, and I loved it ever since, back during the GCN era after Capcom's infamous GCN 5 bull: "Hell hath no fury like a PO'ed Nintendo fan."

It's something I am really noticing this generation.

Yoko Shimomura IS and always will be the Mario RPG composer.

She is the only reason I could bare Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Here piano pieces are fantastic. That and Kairi was the only interesting character besides the Organization XIII.

Well, the game is released. Now then... *SPOILERS*

Meryl marrying Johnny Sasaki, [wtd]unk? I don't blame Snake for being suicidal. =/

I find it strangely ironic that a Sony franchise creator that is digging his series into the ground is blasting NoE.

David Jaffe, you deserve a pat on the back, just start making a game besides God Of War though. Oh wait...

Wow, I thought Europe hated Nintendo (of Europe) just for delaying Brawl.

If the current trend of NoA being nasty around Mother 3 stays true, then the only way I will get my grubby hands on Lucas' adventure is via Starman(dot)net's translation, once it's released.

That, and they basically spoiled the [darn] game in Smash Bros. Brawl (because they thought we knew most of it already with our die hard research.

I think this thread should be "Earthbound fans vs. NoA," but that battle is as old as the GBA itself. =/

With the WiiConnect24, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a no-brainer. Enhanced remakes with downloadable contant (free or not) would be awesome.

IGN AU's review.

Anyone remember that thing on the internet a while back that was supposedly a thrown-out speech by Reggie (it was fake, FYI)? There was a part where he talked about "Metal Gear Solid: Dark Snake" or something like that for the DS. I know this doesn't help, but this just reminded me of that...

I seriously don't remember a quote like that. It might not even happen either, Kojima would rather want us to buy his Sunlight games (though I do admit I liked Lunar Knights, voice acting was horrid though).

And a MGS DS game, if it came to light, would not fit into the canon. In fact, IF Kojima and compeny made it, it was be a non-canonical game, like Acid 1 and 2.

Itagaki is basically the Yuji Naka of 21st century gaming, and by that I mean his ego.

You can't want something in your opinion! And if you can, it's redundant.

Ok, I spotted the error in my words.

Video Game Chat / Re: Nintendo Games Get Boring

« on: June 02, 2008, 10:11:58 PM »

Has anyone else noticed that Nintendo games get boring after about a week? I haven't touched Brawl's case in like a month. The only reason it lasted long is the multiplayer.

Hey everyone, I am having an anti-Nintendo party at my house! Bring all the booze you like, I might also get a cake jumper!
