Re: Another pro sport, another exclusive deal....
Here's an interesting twist... - Nintendo has announced a first-person baseball game called Pennant Chase Baseball, to be released for GameCube on April 4th. The game will feature all 30 of the actual Major League Baseball parks, with a roster of players drawn from the current league. Since Nintendo is a console… -
Re: the future or death of the sidescroller
Nintendo is working on a new sidescrolling Super Maripo Bros. game for the DS despite the system being capable of 3d. Another popular sidescroller would be Super Smash Bros. Melee which sold a few million. SCEA (Sony's american game department) apparently hates 2d games, at first they even rejected Viewtiful Joe (SCEI… -
Re: Nearly 50% of GameStops profits come from pre-owned sales (College Paper)
its a catch 22 right now really. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft need Gamestop to sell there games because they sell the most copys there. Problem is Gamestop sells used games for 5 bucks cheaper hurting Sony, Nintendo and Microsofts profits from people buying used instead of new. They need Gamestop but Gamestop dosnt need… -
Re: Zelda: Wind waker Tech and Texture Analysis *picture heavy*
Do you mean the color banding? I think that's a result of Nintendo's compression format, which takes advantage of the fact that Twilight Princess runs in the GameCube's 18-bit color mode (really a disadvantage in my opinion, as it makes the game look uglier than it should be) to lower the texture file size without reducing… -
Re: It's Official: No More "Next-Gen"
"Trinity-gen" b/c it established Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo as the holy console trinity (a trend which has been carried over to the current gen). "DVD-gen" or "Disc-gen" b/c all major consoles used DVD or MiniDVD formats (the preceding gen still had Nintendo using cartridges and PS1 used a data CD). So far the current… -
Re: Retro Gaming Thread!
Man, Rilem! What a mistake. People tend to give me shit and look at me like some sort of Pariah when i tell them the Nintendo 64 was not a good system in Hindsight and most of the games were terrible. With the exception of a few Nintendo titles..There just aren't that many games that are still playable today. The only… -
Re: Wii Mario Kart
All the virtual console titles contain are the rom, emulator, and html files. And the rom's are apparently playable within snesx or zsnes. Donkey Kong Country 2 was cracked, I'll look for the link. Nintendo just does not seem interested in adding new features/support to virtual console games. (yes there's been a couple… -
Re: Farcry Wii
And Far Cry on the PC looks better than the 360, who cares. I have a 360 if I want "next gen under kill" (bloom effect + shitty spec maps does not = great game) I'll go play it. I will be buying the Wii because it will have interesting games that will more than likely be fun for a month or two. I'm buying a Wii not because… -
Re: Is wii worth buying?
I think it ultimately depends on what kind of experience you're looking for. If you want to play first-person shooters and fighting games, you're probably better off with the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, if multi-player and party games are your thing, then the Wii might be right up your alley.… -
Re: Zelda vs the colossus
hawken, do you really think that Nintendo only cares about what their fans in Japan want? America makes up a HUGE portion of their profits. And the day zelda has the ability to hack off a person's limbs is the day pigs fly... As far as Zelda's art, I know that a lot of people really like the style and can't wait for the…
