Re: First DSi-Only Retail Releases Hitting This Fall

Kawaiipikachu

I wouldn't worry about about DSi spcific titles chocking up shelf space too soon not until Nintendo is ready to realease there more powerful DS succesor.
Cameras: other than shovelware I wouldent expect too many software to make decient use of the cameras.
Double the memory: All the DS games worked fine with only 8MB tbe Lite/Phat has so 8MB ought to be enough for anyone.
SD card slot: I don't really see any need for an SD slot to be used for standard retail games.
Faster WI-FI: All the online games that I have works fine with the lites/phats slower wi-fi even back when we had only dialup so wi-fi isn't a problem.

Now that's all the ehancements sorted out there is no reason to worry as 95% of all upcoming games would work fine within the confines of the older systems & that any DSi's so called enhanced features would really add nothing to the games.

Until Nintendo releases the more powerful DS Successor I would not really worry too much.

Oh great!
Nintendo's stopgap sold too much which means when Nintendo finish with the devoloment of there actual DS successor they likly to delay its launch for a year or 2 .

I still gbe going on my plans on replacing my worn out lite with another lite .

Re: No US Plans For Black Wii

Kawaiipikachu

@Link79 Same here I currently own a black GameCube (for the Gb player) because purple is ugh.

I can remember when Nintendo announced this sleek black Revolution.
Cool name cool colour then they renamed & recoloured it I was a bit disappinted.

Wow !
Please make it happen Capcom please pretty please With Cream & Suger on top & maybe even with a cherry as well .
What would be cool if Capcom manage an agrement with Nintendo to allow a Street Fighter IV themed Classic Controller Pro with it .

Re: Review: Disgaea DS (DS)

Kawaiipikachu

Great Review for a great game I got it & I loved it.
The promise of the gameplay & cute anime girls lured me to the game.
Yes I have a soft spot for cute anime girls.
I almost got the PS2 version with the intentt of getting the DS version not knowing it's a remake.
Glad I diddnt make that mistake but still I love the game.

Re: Miyamoto Unconcerned By Rival Motion Control Systems

Kawaiipikachu

Well Microsoft with Project Natal is really a beefed up EyeToy.
While it can sense deph which EyeToy can't pickup but unfortunally I can imagine tons of 3Dised Eyetoy clones.

Meanwhile Sony's silly controller nothing more than a Wii Remote with the Motion plus attached.
It's got the multicoloured ball which acts as an ehanced Wii pointer in reverse & a gyro simaluar to what's built in the Motion plus.
While the pointer ball may just be a touch better than the Wii Remote in terms of on screen because of a wider rainge of pickup.

So all in all Sony's controller is really a slightly beefed up Wii Remote & motion plus combo.

Re: DSi Selling Like Hot Cakes In Europe

Kawaiipikachu

At least the proper console still selling even if Nintendos stopgap system making money.
Still I be waiting for Nintendo to announce a DS successor but in the mean time I might save up to add to the sales of the DS lite to replace my current system which is close to falling appart.

Re: UK Retro Computer Museum Open Day

Kawaiipikachu

Wow nice museum.
Well i think it is also a tease showing off all the old hardware like that .
Well there was a simaluar event here in Australia in melbourne but unfortunately for me i had no way of travelling interstate to visit & since then the event long shut down .

Re: WiiWare Poker Game Too Sexy For Australia

Kawaiipikachu

Well it happens here all the time.
We had came so close to an R18+ rating just only one guy got in the way of that hapaning & thats Michal Hopkins South Australian Attorney General.
While i can understand that theres physological effects from games but this is plain stupid .

Re: Don't Toss Those Old Controllers Yet

Kawaiipikachu

Well i don't need this as i am the very few who finds sin & punishment fine with the classic controller & finds Ocarina of time c-pad mapping fine with the X Y Z & r-stick-down perfectly fine & yet thats 1 of the most complaine about titles .
I pretty doubtfull that the N64 adapter would work fine infact i think its only setup for 1 particular mapping of the Gamecube controller meaning it would not work with the rest .

Re: Review: Animal Crossing Clock (DSiWare)

Kawaiipikachu

Well I just figured out Nintendos plan with these so called apps & game excerpts just so they cal fill the DSi shop with plenty of titles so to give the illisoin of the DSiWare being worth it meanwhile the reality is that the DSi is just a stopgap that Nintendo used to buy time to devolope the actual DS successor.
