Video Game Chat / Nintendo Unveiling: September 16th
« on: September 09, 2005, 08:52:35 PM »
I'm really excited for the announcments that are going to be made at the Toyko Game Show on September 16th. Supposedly the Revolution, the Revolution's controller, and Mario 128, among other things of lesser importance, will have some light casted on. I've already gotten my great announcment this week: when Apple unveiled the iPod nano, which I have just enough money for.
I'm looking foward to know what that gosh-darned controller is! Hopefully it isn't shaped like a boomerang! XD

Mario Chat / Super Mario Sunshine to Appear on PlayStation 2!!!

...Or that's what seems as odd as a Crash Bandicoot game for the GameCube. My brother recently bought Crash Bandicoot for GameCube and I was stunned. What happened? Isn't that like Halo being ported to the GameCube, or back in the old days, Sonic being ported to Nintendo? I notice that the game is now not made by Naughty Dog, does that have anything to do with it? Please enlighten my stupidity!

Video Game Chat / Accesory Talk
« on: June 04, 2005, 08:56:53 PM »
I'm surprised. There has been no talk here about either the V-Pocket or the Play-yan.

Play-yan:
Already released in Japan, this little cartridge reads SD cards, giving you the ability to download videos and music from your computer to your GBA/DS. You insert the SD care into a cartridge a little bit bigger than an average Advance cartridge. Nintendo said that they will import something like it to North America around the time Game Boy Micro comes out.

V-Pocket:
As far as I know, what the V-Pocket actually is is still unknown. As you might know, Nintendo recently trademarked a symbol
(http://www.gearlive.com/blogimages/nintendovpocket.jpg) which reads "Nintendo V-Pocket". Many speculate that it is a Palm-esque system with features like word processing, schedule-keeping, and maybe even a web browser. Others speculate that it is the American name for the Play-yan. I read on GameSpot that the V-Pocket was supposed to be announced at E3. ANYONE WHO WAS AT E3: Did you see anything having to do with V-Pocket?

Also, has anyone ever heard of a GameBoy TV Tuner? They're supposed to let you watch TV on your GameBoy Advance or SP. Does anyone have it? If so, is it cool?

Video Game Chat / Top Ten Reason Why The DS Beats the Pants off PSP
« on: April 18, 2005, 07:58:26 PM »
1. Quality of recycled games. While Sony has recycled games with worse graphics (i.e. NFL Street 2) Nintendo has recycled games with more features, better graphics, and more replay value (i.e. Super Mario 64 DS)
2. Innovation. While Sony makes a souped-up GameBoy, Nintendo makes a completely new kind of system with all new kinds of gameplay. Have you ever seen anything like Yoshi's Touch and Go? Yeah. I didn't think so.
3. Battery life. You guys can have less than 4 hours per charge. On my cross-country airplane trips, I wouldn't want my PSP going dead on me! DS solves that problem.
4. Touch screen. We get an all-new kind of gaming while you're wiping the floor w/ your stupid control nub. How are you even gonna type? We just have to draw letters when we chat.
5. Screen. Sure, your screen is bigger, and sure, it has better graphics, but has the DS been reported to have dead pixels, air bubbles, and dust lodged inside the screen? I don't think so.
6. Scratches. While our DSes fold up so as not to scratch the screen, you are forced to stick on protective screens and pray that your keys won't scrape against it in your pocket.
7. Controls. We can use our touch screen in infinite ways, such as extra buttons, but you guys are stuck with the buttons you got. That stinks.
8. Extra space. We have a GBA slot in our DS, so in case Nintendo ever decides to come out with a rumble pack, camera, etc. we're good to go with nothing sticking out. I don't see any space for YOU guys to stick a rumble pack.
9. GBA games. We can have two games on our DS at the same time. Who's up for a marathon of Twisted and Touched! WarioWare? I am!
10. We got Mario on our side. 'Nuff said.

Agree, disagree, cheese. Whatever.

Video Game Chat / Cool DS Experience
« on: April 08, 2005, 04:06:51 PM »
Two cool things happened to me during my Spring Break concerning my DS:

In the airport, our flight got cancelled, so we were sitting around doing nothing. Pretty boring. So to waste some time, I busted out Yoshi's Touch and Go and began a Time Attack run. About halfway through, I look up to see this kid staring at me holding his DS up. So, by instinct, I restart my DS and go to Multiplayer mode. We engage in several YT&G battles when our flight is called. We both shut off our DSs (did I mention I was about 25 feet away from him?) and as he is walking away, I hear him saying something to his parents. Except that he's not speaking English. I think he was speaking German or something. See? Videogames are the universal language!

Story #2:

I was pretty bored in our hotel: it was night time and there was nothing to do. I went down into the lobby to find a bunch of kids sitting around doing nothing. We started talking and some kid said "Do any of you have DSs?" To my surprise, 4 other kids said yes (including me). We then got into furious matches of Metroid Hunters, Super Mario 64x4, Zoo Keeper, and Ridge Racer. I whooped 'em all!

I think this aspect of the DS is really great, though I have one question: can somebody specifically explain to me how the online DS is going to work? Will it use telephone wires, or Nintendo kiosks? If kiosks, where will those be located? Would I be able to play in my house?

Video Game Chat / DS Games You Know You Want
« on: February 06, 2005, 03:57:30 PM »
As the title suggests, this is where you post ideas for games that could be produced for the DS.

This is a list of games that were already made but could be altered and stuck onto the DS (in no particular order)

Super Smash Bros. DS (I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo isn't already contemplating developing this game)
Super Monkey Ball DS (This could be fun to no end if they include the touch screen's capabilities)
Star Fox DS
NBA STREET DS
SSX 3 DS
The Sims DS (not Urbz, just normal THE SIMS)
Pikmin DS
Kirby DS (it would be 3D, like that N64 one)
Magic Pengil DS (That would be COOL)
DDR DS (The touch screen would have four "buttons", similar to the game on flashflashrevolution)

And one game I made up:
9-Volt Mayhem

This game is a pumped-up version of WarioWare DS, featuring 9-Volt. Exactly like WarioWare DS, you have to use the touchscreen to complete the minigames, only with different minigames and a twist: if you fail the minigame, the special glove you are wearing that comes with the game shocks your hand. Think about it: Paper Airplane, except if you crash, you get shocked, resulting in furious concentration in order not to get zapped.
BTW, I always loved the "Adam's Family" shock machine, maybe some of you do too.

Be sure to post your own games and ideas!

Video Game Chat / Star Fox games question...
« on: January 10, 2005, 08:49:58 PM »
My cousins have an SNES, and when I travel to Michigan to visit them, I frequently play the original Star Fox game. I have also played the N64 version, which I also loved. I know that there is a GameCube version, as well as a sequel coming out soon. I really enjoyed the piloting of the planes in the first two games; is the third game like that? Or more of a platformer game?

Video Game Chat / About dat DS...
« on: November 08, 2004, 08:30:11 PM »
Four questions about the DS...

1. Does it have wireless internet abilities?
2. Does it plug into your computer? If so, what does it do?
3. Does it need a Memory Card to play?
4. What is the cheapest combination of DS games I could buy for it?
5. What is the most... whoops, that's five questions. Sorry

Ok, sorry about that; I just lost control for a second. I think this forum is in serious need of one and one only thing: AN FAQ!

Has this been mentioned before? If so, why hasn't it been followed through with? Lemme get you guys started:

Q- Where is the secret page? Nobody will tell me on the forums!
A- Good for them! Nobody is supposed to tell you where it is anyways. Find some free time and search to your heart's content!

Q- How can I use HTML in my posts?
A- blah blah blah, (i don't feel like writing it, too much to write)

Q- Can you play as Luigi in SM64?
A- NO!
Q- Well then why does it say "L is Real 2004"?
A- Ummm, uh... well got to go!

This is sorta like a petition, just post in this topic to show everyone *ahemdeezerahem* how much we want an FAQ! Think about it: No more stupid topics by n00bs asking "how to get that book"! You gotta love it!
