Seems they're sold out all over the country and new shipments aren't expected to arrive until early may - one of Nintendo's little marketing tricks to build demand I guess... They're always so coy with their fans.
None the less, I will continue my search tomorrow undeterred.

Mario Chat / Yoshi's Island and Warioland4 = Disappointment

« on: April 26, 2003, 08:03:45 PM »

I took both of them back to the store today..   There was nothing wrong with the games themselves, I just felt a little underwhelmed.  I need something more complex with a storyline that instills a sense of purpose and forges an attachment between you and your character.  Not that I can't relate to Wario; I too get enjoyment out of life by spreading misery and hording plundered treasure in my basement..but..  I don't know.  It's just not the same anymore.   I've gone through a whole host of GBA titles* and the only three I'm still holding on to are Metroid Fusion, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Tactics Ogre(my favorite).  I want something more engaging.
Has anyone heard anything about the new Lufia game?  What about Breath of Fire?  I've still yet to play Advance Wars though I've heard it's a lot of fun..  Any feedback and\or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

*Doom, Golden Sun, Zelda: Oracle of Seasons\Ages, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania:  Harmony of Dissonance, Mario Advance 2, Broken Sword, and a few more I'm probably forgeting..

I got my $193 tax return slip in the mail yesterday. As soon as I tore the envelope open I heard a distant cry... There was no mistaking that sound: It was a platinum GBA SP far off in the distance, waiting to be liberated from it's cardboard box..
...
Today I leave.
