o_o Is it impossible that Ninty could just be following standard protocol for unintended features? Can we not just give them the benefit of the doubt w/o blowing them away? I mean, it's not like they don't have the freedom to make their own business decisions - we're not the ones making the game!
Just prevent Temple or Final Destination from being played more than a couple times in a row and I'll be just fine. (Especially FD >:/ I think it has worse balance than Temple xD)
Honestly, I wish there was some way to make piracy incredibly hard, then make it legal...crazy I know, but just think of how many people would be inspired to learn highly technical skills because of it - kind of like a back-handed stimulus to computer education xD.
[Yeah, I understand it's virtually impossible to do that, but it's not like piracy's gonna go away :I ya know?]
To be honest, those systems probably won't even be sold in NA - I mean, if I stole a bunch of stuff to sell, I sure as heck wouldn't sell it anywhere near the site of the crime. (Just a guess though. )
weeps Even though I have the original (and friends to play it w/!), this is gunna be beast. I still remember how awesome the theme song was. Nothin' like a first party remix! Good times
:0 lololol first vuln right off the bat! XDDD I hate piracy...but I also hate having restricted freedom w/ my devices. I mean, I'm just tired of having these systems with all these awesome features and then having a crap-load of French* law keep me from getting the most from my Nintendo awesomeness. Even if it's limited that would be better than the nothing that we're getting...but I guess all those nasty pirates just can't be trusted can they? *Digital Rights Management started there (no offense, it's just your gvmnt that gets me)
Ya know, I was just thinkin' the other day about what it would be like if Nin10do and M$ made a console together...and this happened! I dunno, I just like Nintendo better, but Microsoft knows how to do connectivity. I mean, it's not like the Wii isn't capable of being a media hub, because homebrew can definitely do it for ya (aside from HD), but it's just so awesome when you stick a random disk into a 360 and it does something sensible, like let you access your media! Meh, I guess we'll just have to wait and see won't we? /prays
@27: Ace? ACE?! Dude! (Though you probably won't see this) It's me, Alpha! Ha ha! Man, I thought I'd never ever see you again then all of a sudden you just spawn right in front of me! Yeah, those were the days back when you & me were on...kinda miss 'em ya know? I was never really an artist like you and the other guys were, but hey, at least we were both in FN Katana...speaking of which, does anybody know Trent and/or how Katana is doing? MAN I hope Memo is good. I'm stoked and for those of you who don't understand, just ignore this comment
Lol, isn't it funny how everyone is bashing Fox when they're not much different from all the other news outlets (as far as bias goes). I mean, do you seriously think Katie Couric, or anyone for that matter, would present and defend a standpoint directly opposed to their persuasion? Sure you can argue that these people could/had/should hire other anchors and analysts from the other side of the fence, but it's not like there's a law about that - /and it's not like Fox is the most successful/watched network either/.
Meh, the networks are all full of crap anyway, I think finding the facts and deciding for myself is really the way to go...and the facts clearly say that consoles are making more than ever (not that we really have that much to go on for the future, but hey).
Actually, I think the real threat isn't the evil smartphone, but more like the epic failure that is Sony! I mean, we used to think that the cake was a lie, but PSN blew that one outta' the water!
I'm just gunna say it SNES - Best. Console. Ever. To me, the Super Nintendo is/was the golden age of gaming and game creativity (mode 7 anybody?). I mean, it's my standard for just about every game-related thought I have. And I still play SMW and ALttP on a regular basis! Just sayn'...
...Ya know how ya fix this? Make a Nokia N-Gage equivilant with teh priorities reversed! In other words, make a portable that doubles as a phone! Of course, a system like this could be insanely expensive w/o a contract (like all unlocked phones), but something tells me that it wouldn't work even if the price was right...
I guess it's like people with PS3's buying blu-ray movies even though their TV's are standard definition - they're just doing it for novelty...or maybe the extra 'special features'? Ah well, If the PSP is still kickin' w/ it's shoddy (in comparison) sales/support, our beloved Gameboy's aren't gunna go away anytime soon.
(In a way, I think that the news sites are getting paid by Crapintosh to brainwash us into thinking their crApps are gunna overtake Big N and Sony so we will go ahead and invest in their platform.)
And no, I'm not a fan of Fail-tosh computers - they promote a streamlined lifestyle that requirres absolutely no effort or outside knowledge to understand. That's an argument for another time and another place...lol
Yeah, it seems like some games regardless of graphics or whatever never really age...actually, most Nintendo games that are worth anything in the first place end up that way! lol
@Hypno1001: ...and if there's any lag at all, you would only be seeing it online...unless you mess with the code no console game should have lag (well, Resident Evil 4 for ps2 was laggy in places, but it wasn't really meant for that system anyway).
The first thing I did was guess that it was going to get a ridculously high rating while scrolling down to see the score. Once my suspicions were confirmed, I guessed that the Supreme Godess had struck once again. I was right.
So...do I accecpt what the fanboy says...or do I go on my mery way still believing the SNES is the best console invented? Choices, choices... XD
...I would totally get all into the 360 scene, but I have no idea when generation 8 will start making us regret all those late gen 7 purchases! ... ... AK! ME WANT 360!!! NO Alpha...get a 3DS...get a 3DS & everything will be OK...me hope <:{
Dried. Apple. CRAPINTOSH! May you, all your products, and everyone that has no interest in higher technology be scraped from this mortal coil*! Well, maybe not the people, but I am sick and tired of Crapintosh making computers that have no use beyond running officially licensed code, and than saying you're low-tech if you don't conform to the inferiority complex.
Question: what operating system does a supercomputer run? NONE!!! An OS on something that powerful is simply overhead to clog up the works! I'm not saying MS is great, but I am saying that a computer is supposed to compute, not just display an emblem that depicts Grade-B fruit! It's like trying to buy intellegence - not gunna happen.
Anyway, I don't think a system with COMPLETELY broken controls is gunna make it anywhere, at least not to compete with true gaming systems (like, with physical software releases! lol @ PSPgo).
Also lol is how Crapple has perverted Input Output System into iOS; Have they no reverence for the almighty BIOS? Actually, the Wii uses IOS too - except it's useful for something, like playing games! lol Apple doesn't know who they're messin' with...
*I /really/ am kidding; I know and love many people who like Apple and even work at the Apple store (well, used to), and I mean nothing personal at all in my comments about Apple - I simply believe that technology should challenge us, and maybe even help the human race improve (instead of making us lazy).
@ Swerd_murd: Ya know...if you searched a version of your statement formed as a question...you might find what you're looking for... /hope mods don't hear Great weather isn't it? Have a nice day! lol
Man, Capcom is really interested in their fan community...I mean, for the Resident Evil/Biohazard series they make frikin movies ALL THE TIME! And Ninty gives us nuttin...oh well, at least we have Zelda fanboi's to make it all better don't we! lol I'm totally not a Zelda fanboy <;3
Ugh, I'm not gunna totally shoot down the attempt Crapintosh is making, but lemme tell ya, the PSP is/was more technically capable than the DS/i, but where is it now? I havn't seen hide nor hair of the PSP saleswise for quite sometime now...ya know why? 'Cuz it's a fail! Now I'm just hatin...oh well, if you challenge Nintendo, it ain't gunna be no cake walk.
I'm not a pirate. I don't believe in piracy. BUT I do believe that it would be beyond awesome to somehow apply the 3DS's technology in an alternate fashion, like interfacing with 3D modeling software so you could quickly view something in a constantly refreshed 3D environment (imagine having an "Art & Technology" class! ha!), or maybe doing something similar w/ the 3D cameras to image something and then feed it into a translator that quantified it as polygons...
Translated into English: I wanna hack the 3DS so I can do awesome stuff that nothing else < $300 can do.
... Sounds like a Zelda rip-off... ... ... ... Must be good! xD But really, it's kinda hard to go wrong ripping off the likes of Zelda, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World...wow maybe I should throw Brawl in here just for the heck of it!
Yeah, anyone that's been around in gaming for very long knows that Zelda games are just epic, even the 'bad' ones (Hey now, Zelda 2 is waaaay better than alot of other other NES fails). So since we've established that Zelda = good game, we naturally assume Zenonia shares the awesomeness, & it becomes an insta-buy.
Isn't math fun?
/runs out to the store--err...runs to his DSi & buys it! Huzzah!
Did I hear someone say "Induction charger"?!!? HOLY CRAP! That would be epic, and educational! Take THAT Crapintosh (not so school friendly anymore are we?)! lol jk
Actually, that probably won't happen... /imagines rats nest of wire shudders
And to think, I delayed buying Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages & Link's Awakening DX because I thought for sure the DSi would get GB releases! I just hope LA gets released as the DX version...
No one's gunna believe us when we talk about it...oh well, I guess that just means we don't have to worry about them stealing our pre-orders! I wonder how the DSiware transfer is gunna work, because I might end up using my dear dear DSi to subsidize the $250-300 price tag...heck, if worse comes to worse I'll just save all my Christmas money & ask my parents 2 pay the rest for my birthday! Yay! I've gotten a Nintendo system for every birthday since my DS lite in 2007 (Lite, Wii, DSi, SNES...3DS!!!!!) Totally stoked.
If you take the words "Final" and "Fantasy" out of the title, this game suddenly goes from 'crappy spin-off' to 'fleshed out SNES classic'. C'mon, how many games are this good/fun? Is Yoshi's Island as hard as SMB 3? Heck no! But I find YI to be much more enjoyable. The same goes for this. Yeah it's easy, but a game's difficulty doesn't necessarily determine quality or a good rating (Takeshi's Challenge anyone?) Great game - I recomend it.
As far as storage capacity goes - the FULL NAND dump of my Wii, that includes all the system files & @ least 1800 blocks worth of games & saves, was a paltry 580MB (it's more than 512MB cuz it was uncompressed and there's a BILLION directories in the Wii NAND), & the Wii's HD is 512MB, so I'm thinkin that 1.5 GB is gunna b way better than the Wii. Also, keep in mind that a Gamecube disk only holds 1.35GB...& it's very rare to have a game completely fill the disk (though they pad it out to capacity with zeroes anyway).
With that in mind, unless you expect to carry ur whole GC library wherever you go, you're gunna be ok.
Now as far as prosessing power goes - the 3DS has 2 processors that beat out the PS2 individually, not to mention them together, or with the 133Mhz GPU. The great thing is that everything is going to be optimized, so if they did it right, they could definitely beat out a Gamecube, & maybe, since the screens are smaller, even the original Xbox!
But what I wanna know is, what in the name of Din is the iPhone going to do with that much power? Personally, I think it's just so they can get away with writing sloppy code...ugh...
Anyway, awesome news! Nintendo should totally get into personal computing...well /looks at Wii OS Maybe not...lol xD

Now as far as prosessing power goes - the 3DS has 2 processors that beat out the PS2 individually, not to mention them together, or with the 133Mhz GPU.
The great thing is that everything is going to be optimized, so if they did it right, they could definitely beat out a Gamecube, & maybe, since the screens are smaller, even the original Xbox!
But what I wanna know is, what in the name of Din is the iPhone going to do with that much power? Personally, I think it's just so they can get away with writing sloppy code...ugh...
Anyway, awesome news! Nintendo should totally get into personal computing...well
/looks at Wii OS
Maybe not...lol xD
