Yeah. It was scary... anyway, (s)he talked about it on one of the boards.  I would go back and find which one, but I am too lazy. Hooah.  I'm not sure who it was...

A lot of older characters like the Hammer Brothers are thinning out in appearances lately.  Although, come to think of it Mario 64 is the only Mario adventure game released after Mario RPG (that I can think of).  Maybe the Mario team has something up their sleeves for the more powerful Game Cube in the line of enemies.

Hey.

As far as I know, HTML can't be used on the boards.  Several people (including me) have tried before, to no avail...

Actually, MANY fans have wondered this same thing.  In fact, TMK has a special on the whole SMB2 thing (SMB2 Madness, I think).  In case you didn't already know, the game we know as Super Mario Brothers 2 was actually a completely different game in Japan with Nintendo characters plugged in.  Long story, just read the Special.

Howdy.  I guess newbies are fairly well tolerated here, at least to their face... ; )

What am I talking about?  I'm a newbie too, in a manner of speaking.

I'm terribly sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.  There are probably several dozen others with the same problem.  Could you, umm, expound on that a little?  Like, ah, explain what you mean.  Maybe?  That would help out a lot.

To be honest, I doubt that there is much of a consumer base for 'classic' style 2D games.  For every classic Mario fan out there, there are five dozen 8-year-olds salivaing for Mario Party 17 or whatever.  The kiddies are growing up expecting nothing less than top notch eye candy, and that will undoubtedly affect the future of games.  After all, they make games that they think will sell...

My NES served me well for over 10 years before it puttered out.  I bought a new (used) one and it also puttered out... however the memory of all those lost hours lives on in my heart! <snif> Thank you, Nintendo...

Please note- The above message was satiric.  Although I am fond of my NES and it is one reason why I am the way I am, I am not extremely dramatic about it.

Holy cow man, are you serious?  You honestly think that the NES was the first game box?  There were many other 'home consoles' years before the NES.  They came about in the 70's, and I have never played them.  They were dedicated machines, meaning that they were programmed to play a certain game or two.  There were also several programmable machines out back then, too.  The Nintendo and Sega companies only relatively recently joined the fray.

I've heard that PD is an excellent game, with enough features and extras to finally allow us to put Goldeneye to rest (for now).

I've also heard that frame rate is a little choppy at times.  Are these rumors true?  If so, do they affect gameplay?

I think that gaming was at its best in the days before 3D.  I'm talking mid 80's to very early 90's (91, maybe 92), when the NES was at its prime and the Genesis and SNES were just coming around.  Before all this graphical eye-candy and millions of polygons and vector technology, game designers actually had to rely on a good plot.

Pokemon hasn't ruined gaming, it's just another fad.  There have been many fads in the past, nationwide crazes that sweep millions of unsuspecting citizens into their sway.  (Pogs, yo-yos, and the recent scooters are a few the kiddies might be familiar with)

This board has only been open since about July of this year.  You'd have to post nonstop from then 'til now to have that many posts!  Then again, why do posts matter that much anyway?
