Went in to Wally world today, saw this in the display case, I ask the clerk, "Can I get that one?" He takes it out and I move on to check out.
As I look at my newly bought game and I am about to drive away, a red light allows me to check out the side of the game case. That's when it hit me, "This is a "fixed" copy!?"
I walk right back in and tell the guy to exchange it. The clerk that just sold me the game asked me, "what's wrong with it?" I respond with "There is nothing wrong with it, that's the problem!" Looking at me with a weird look on his face, he grudgingly walks to the display to get me another one. I tell him to take them all out.
The guy obviously starting to get mad, takes all the games out. He then tells me, "Which one do you want?" I told him, "none of these." After that, his co-worker, having a good laugh, walks over and tells me "I know what you are looking for."
The guy walks away and comes back moments later with my "Revelaitons" copy of the game. The guy obviously knowing what I wanted in the beggining just takes it all as a joke. Needless to say, I got what I wanted with a nice comedy to go with it, and of course I can't go back there any time soon. True story.
@melvin2898 You and other "Anime" fans should really get to know your Japanese before calling someone out. Anime is the Japanese term for Cartoons. So if someone calls an "anime" a cartoon anywhere outside of Japan, they are politically correct my freind.
Now back to main idea from this topic, I would really be interested if they recieved partnerships with more shows in order to broadcast it to Nintendo Zone, although, being in my last years of my teens, watching these in public is a no, no.
I am willing to invest into this company, seeing as they are really desperate for the money, the thing is, its not a smart investment since they are really shakey. But since I am young and hopefully will make a killing once the products start coming out, I'll invest. I can only hope...
So, if I buy a Wii U (Or whatever it may be called). I May be able to get both a portable and a home device! Oh happy days are in front of me. Just give me a moment, I need to go lie down and think about how good life is getting for me. T.T
@Progamer Your showing your non pro side, my good man. I have bricked my power box with the PS3 and Xbox 360 running 3D (Not at the same time, running different games). I could honestly tell you, if the 3DS could run HD, not only would it be heavy, but the battery life on if would be worse! I don't think we'll see pocket HD gaming anytime soon, or maybe even in our lifetimes, or my great grandson's life time. Until nuclear fusion goes pocket sized, it is just a dream.
I am in no hurry for the Wii U to be released. I am still getting this launch day! But if it were released to early, this would be impossible as I need recovery time, as I plan to buy a Vita as well.
This is new to me, although, I have been playing guitar for a couple of years now. I never really used sheet music, nor do I have an interest to play the Mario songs, but, that Zelda collection I might get. I am a by the ear kind of person, but the harder songs with multiple instruments become a pain to distinguish the individual guitars and chords.
DS? Looks like I will be importing this. Interesting game and seems very cool to play. I wonder, if this is at an imperial age, would they still use pokeballs? Oh well, time to catch up on my kanji, katakana, and hiragana. Looks text heavy.
I remember when Sakurai said that he wished Brawl to be his last Super Smash Bros. As any other game would just be an expansion and he wished not to destroy what the franchise was about. Whatever he meant by that, I am glad that he has decided to work on the new Super Smash Bros.
@Henmii I know where your coming from when you say Wind Waker type games should come back to consoles but, the Wii U has brought Nintendo to the age of HD and Zelda needs to have more a Twighlight Princess style gameplay for HD goodness. In other words, if it isn't a close call to become a rated T game atleast, it should go to the Wii or 3DS, any Zelda above this should be a great Wii U game.
I hope that this doesn't happen. The Xbox 360 only recently developed its own motion controls less than 2 years ago. Also, I have no idea how Sony could improve by adding another console.
I am not for or against piracy just because at least half of the people that you play with online are usually pirates. I buy and don't pirate because I have a large amount of diposable income, but can understand why people pirate. The economy is tough now a days.
@Shockerz That is a very good question, with an easy answer. The same way you use them on any other, "dual-stick" controller. "Do you Know how to use a Classic Controller Pro, PS3 Controller, or Xbox360 Controller?" is a better question to further tell if you will be able to use this attachtment and all its round, chunky goodness.
I truly believe this is how the world will go down. So in preperation for the immenant end I started stockpiling a bunch of weapons and ammo. I also started stockpiling food sources and everything. And for added measure my roommate started stock piling herbs... Hey wait a minute, those arn't herbs.
@timp29 I have no idea what you are talking about. I mean every Wind Waker related Zelda starts with this kind of intro, this one just has a different story. Even Minish Cap had this kind of intro. It's got a new style to it but thats about it. It actually looks really good.
I decided to take a trip to my video game storage house the other day. I amazingly saw this in an unopened box because I never used it. I am planning to now because I also wanted a reason to go back to more retro gaming. This could be it, what coencidence that this was posted.
@ThunderSTM The money you would get for a Wii won't cover too much of the Xbox360 price. Especially the one with Kinect. I wouldn't even think about selling my Wii right now. we have a bunch of great games headed our way. Thanks to the dry season of games for the Wii... I have tons of money to buy all the super awsome new releases!
I really never heard of anyone actually paying to download the full release of the games on the appstore games for any smart phone. They are usaully the free trial. Even if it is only $.99 I wouldn't pay for it either. Never known anyone who has actually paid for a game app.
I just went to my local Wally World in a very rural community. Even here $169 is the prevalent price. No ones bought one yet because, like I said, its a rural town so you really have to drive a long way to get there.
Yes this game is insanely hard to beat. There were so many things you had to go back to and the last 12 bits in order to get to the end really made it difficult. But I still like it.
@tendoboy1984 Some of your facts are off. The Wii is still gonna be the main Nintendo console for most, if not all, of 2012. The Wii U will probably have a late 2012 release to early 2013. The Wii has plenty of life left. (I hope)
Two of the most original game names for Mario Kart are Double Dash and the original Mario Kart. Everything else has been named after the system. This one, while not too original, is still something different.
T.T Well atleast the 3DS gaming community is bound to grow! Just a few seconds ago I had a machine that was worth at least $170 used. Now I have a $70 machine. T.T
I think it would be funner to kill a GIANT monster statue than the small one produced by the actual "?" card! (Pardon my Grammer) Edit: Just ordered one! I just hate that it has a crease down the middle of it. But I guess it will be easier to store like that.
Ah, Star Fox. I remember playing the same path over and over, until a freind of mine told me that I could visit all the other planets by just flying under all the rings in the first level.
In general, I think that there has been absolutly nothing to look forward to from any gaming console. Most titles are to come out by the end of the year. I don't think Nintendo is the only one with dry spells in game realeases. Can you name me 5 titles across all platforms that are original (not remakes) and have been anticipated. 2011 is just not a good gaming year.
@expa0 Wow retro video addict. I don't think you can get new releases on any of those, except maybe film. I also don't think you can get better quality than 280i on those. Just saying. I am also sad that Nintendo of America has been holding back on us. We need a new marketing division that will give the games we want, the service we want, and the Nintendo that we have come to love but lost one day on a cold, rainy, foggy day.
