WhiteTrashGuy commented on Kevin Conroy Inadvertently Confirms Role in Fu...:

Kevin Conroy IS the best Batman. MASK OF THE PHANTASM is easily better than BEGINS. But I must admit I am saddened by this news. After hearing about the new DL TMNT title coming out this summer I was hoping beyond hope that Rocksteady was indeed working on a Superman game.... Let's hope it's the rumored "silver-age" game that has the JLA in it, eh?

The Mario Galaxy games blew my mind graphically when they came out, just like F-ZERO GX did on the GCN. Nintendo knows how to make their systems sing, and if they help third-parties along with some development tools, then we'll all be in good shape.

@OSP_ZELDAiii

There will be missions where other hackers are trying to hack you and vice versa. These other "hackers" will be other real people playing their game as Aiden (the main character). So it creates a crossover experience where other people are affecting your quest and you are affecting their's.

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Nintendo Invites Media to Wii U Software Showc...:

@triforcepower73
Their WiiU media presentation will be similar to the 3DS one they held last year, or the WiiU price unveiling we saw in September. Whether or not they will stream this is still up in the air. We know for sure, though, that we will get a new Nintendo Direct, similiar to the one we got last year the day before their E3 presentation. I am sure there will be a 3DS Nintendo Direct as well. None of this will be on T.V. unless SPIKE gets invited to the media event.

WhiteTrashGuy commented on The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Getting a 20th ...:

I saw it twice opening weekend (seriously). I was 11 and thought it was an interesting take on the source material. Seeing Yoshi, "Bowser," Toad, Iggy & Spike, etc. was awesome. It's like Burton's BATMAN, you have to make a FILM version. Would I have rather seen the more abstract version of the script? Absolutely, but we got a Mario movie and it's not THAT bad. I still play as Luigi in all of the spin-off games because of Leguizamo. (Everyone kept laying a stake to Yoshi in SUPER MARIO KART....)

Imagine if the DD disks were the proprietary format for the N64? Not the same as CDs, but a good middle ground. Yamauchi-san was convinced that video games were toys, and that CDs could not provide the durability that a cartridge afforded.

While I love my game collection, I do not have space to keep a Genesis, NES, and SNES constantly hooked up. This will solve that and my GBA issue since I cannot get my hands on composite cables for my GCN. And yes, they do need to make a CD format one that plays SEGA CD, TURBO DUO CD, CDi, 3DO, SATURN, and PS1.

I had the GENESIS/SEGA CD/32X, but ultimately sold it to upgrade to a SEGA CDX. It's still the crown jewel of my collection, along with my mint copy of SNATCHER. PLEASE GIVE ME A REMAKE/SEQUEL ON WIIU!!! (Oh, and EARTHWORM JIM SPECIAL EDITION on Sega CD FTW!)

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Hardware Classics: Nintendo Super Famicom:

Was a Genesis/SegaCD kid. Had great times with my system, but boy were there games I had to either rent the system to play over a weekend or go over to a friend's house. The same thing happened when I decided to get an N64 over a PSN. Regardless, the SNES is the best system of all time. (SSF2 with the 6-button pad trumps any of the SNES versions)

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Review: Wheel of Fortune (Wii U):

I have this and JEOPARDY on thw Wii and I see no reason to upgrade, in fact I say that the Wii versions are better as you can use the WiiSpeak to answer any puzzles/questions and customize your character's sound bites.

WhiteTrashGuy commented on 3DS Stays on Top in Japan, but Wii U Falls Beh...:

Come E3 Nintendo will show off F-ZERO, MARIO, MARIO KART, STAR FOX and probably close the show with a new METROID. They know what they have to do. Heck, let Sega do F-ZERO again. (Sorry Namco/Bandai, but stay away from STAR FOX). Oh, and are we forgetting the new XENOBLADE? Wii U will be just fine. I bought one on launch day and use it every day, barely play my 360 anymore (Revengeance/Tomb Raider). I will be getting the new XBOX or PS4, but not for at least a year after launch. The Wii U will be around until 2017, when hopefully Nintendo can release a new console that will undercut the PS4 and XBOX. Do not underestimate tge SeamBox, though which looks to finally merge console and PC gaming.

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Review: F-Zero (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo):

I was a Genesis kid. Sold my NES to get one. But then the SNES kiosk was put up at the local Kay Bee Toy Store in the mall - with F-ZERO as the starring title. This was before "timed play" at demo kiosks and I would sit there for as long as I could. I never bought an SNES. I would rent one for a weekend to play the big games. F-ZERO, though, became something of an obsession. Years later, at my friend Duane's house, we would play that and MK II long into the morning; shaving seconds off our times and challenging eachother. Then F-ZERO X came out and it continued. The F-ZERO franchise remains my favorite racing series to this day, with BURNOUT trailing about half a lap behind. In my opinion F-ZERO GX was one of the top 5 titles on the GCN and looks better than most racers do today, but nothing will ever beat the purity of the race which the first game captures so beautifully.

For shame, Pitchford. My buddy Drew knows Randy and says he's a really fun guy, but with ALIENS turning out much like DUKE NUKEM FOREVER it is apparent that he places priority on their own original IPs. I was really looking forward to ALIENS...

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Activision Hopes That Your Spider Sense Will B...:

Rented ASM for my 360. Was a pretty blatant ARKHAM rip-off. The camera was total garbage, and the web-swinging went back to the 'adhere to the clouds' philosophy from the original animated series and the first movie-based game. If you want the best web-swinging go play WEB OF SHADOWS. If you want the best overall Spidey experience then seek out ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN for GCN, XBOX, PS2, or PC.

@FiveDigitLP

As a father of 3 I did not have the time to play the entire MASS EFFECT TRILOGY on my 360, but I do get time here and there to play part 3 on my GamePad while the kids are watching cartoons or the wife is using the tv. I can still be around my family AND go space hopping. The whole trilogy would have been nice, but at least I get to experience one of the best RPGs of this generation; something I would have never been able to do on my 360.

WhiteTrashGuy commented on Developer States That Wii U Woes Were a Focus ...:

What Nintendo needs to watch out for is the low-cost chipsets that the PS4 and new XBOX are using. They are both looking into using mobile tech to keep cost down. Sony is looking at a $399 to $450 launch for the PS4. Not exactly too much over the Wii U's price point. I love my Wii U, but keeping the modified PowerPC tech for their CPU and not using a newer one with more horsepower is going to bite them in the butt as it's already making it awkward for developers to quickly port games. Everything has to be re-coded to run through the GPU and compressed. MASS EFFECT 3 runs great and I love it, but STRAIGHT RIGHT had over a year to port it.
