Metal Gear II? Even more proof of Metal Gear ReBirth being on the way, in my opinion. ...actually, there never was a 16-bit Metal Gear, was there? This should be interesting...
Metal Gear's release is clearly foreshadowing for a certain WiiWare game belonging to a series beginning with "R" and ending with "eBirth".
Also, SaGa? Lucky folks. >_<
@5. Croz and @6. Drake: Metal Gear 2 already is also already translated on MGS3: Subsistence, isn't it? I thought that was just a modified ROM, so couldn't they just upload that?
I'd imagine so. I want it anyway, but I'd expect something bigger to have all it's aspects bigger too. It's unlikely to have been made just to increase screen size and battery life, if it's so much heavier.
Great idea to tell us this RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Nintendo. Great way to increase sales.
If it's going to be the same price, I may as well not buy the DSi for Christmas, get my parents give me the money they would've helped me with, and but this, probably for Easter. As much as I hate to support these silly release schemes. This means when I preorder Spirit Tracks, I'll have to wait even longer to play it 'cause my DS Lite broke.
Only thing I want to know: How do the games look on it? Will they be stretched, have massive borders, or what? I'd imagine the former, but how nicely will they be stretched?
@29. Ezekiel:- Okay fine, I'm getting a little ahead of myself... But it doesn't change the fact I'll be annoyed if it doesn't come out on the 30th like they said. =P
Vikings and Little Tournament look good, then again I'm a strategy kinda guy, so those games WOULD appeal to me. =P At least the two puzzlers don't look bad per se, and I may get all the Star Wars games eventually.
Still can't wait for LIT next week though. If it doesn't come as announced, I'll be more than a little annoyed. >_>
Maybe if it were 15,000 words per language, it would be a better deal. My interest in this has steadily gone down since I originally heard about it. Now it just looks horrible.
I can see them updating it every now an then, but other than that, the dictionary will remain as small as it is. You won't be able to get the full Oxford English Dictionary translated into Japanese, ever. Still, this the price it should've been launched at initially.
Has it been revealed what controllers it supports? I ask because the trailer looks great, but it doesn't look like the kind of game I want to use a D-Pad on, or the Nunchuck's stick.
When (if) I get one of these, Cyndaquil is the obvious pick. Typhlosion kept me going through Gold until I got my Houndoom, and it'll do the same in HeartGold.
Holy c- 9 releases? On just WiiWare? 4 on VC? And yet we get 3 on WiiWare, with NOTHING on VC. This is ridiculous. I don't care if Nintendo is Japanese, whatever happened to racial equality?
EDIT: That's 17 releases overall. 9 WiiWare, 4 VC and 4 DSiWare. That's over the top, when we get 4 downloadable releases per week, they get more than 4 times as many!
Looks brilliant. Sounds brilliant. And I know it's epic due to watching the PC version being played. DeceasedCrab is probably wetting himself right now. XD
BS Zeruda no Densetsu: Kodai no Sekiban (Satellaview, Import)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Kirby's Fun Pak (Kirby Super Star, SNES)
Otherwise, I want games in PAL 60, with widescreen support and minimalised borders, as well as old handheld games on the DSi, which would trigger me to get one. But I'm happy with the games.
Zelda Game Watch Zelda Game & Watch The only two I really care about, but I might get some more after I've got all the collections. I had G&W Gallery 2 at one point, but I sold it for... reasons I've forgotten.
I predicted BOXLIFE... But I also predicted LIT and Core. Others don't appeal to me. Overall it seems like a good week, however. I might get Zoda's Revenge at some point, same with BOXLIFE when I get my DSi.
Whatever happened to World of Goo being at #1? I got so used to that being a consistency. Does everyone own WoG now, or something? I'd better hop on the bandwagon.
"No Final Fantasy?", is what people should be asking. It was announced by Squeenix, and it's out in Japan, so it should be here this Hanabi Festival. EarthBound may be ESRB rated, but that doesn't apply to PAL regions, and it isn't out in Japan yet. It may have been announced by Nintendo at some stage, but that was most likely to help hype the VC. There are also rumours against it coming out ever. Yeah.
For now though, I'd say Zoda's Revenge and MUSHA next week. Zoda's Revenge and Kirby's Dreamland 3 are the only things that really interest me from this list, though the two already released do look pretty nice.
I've heard good stuff about this from a member of The Speed Gamers. I might give this a shot. You never know, it might even get into my top nine games list.
It's confusing, because they were saying they wanted 20,000 more, and then they were saying something about 100,000, so I wasn't sure whether that was a target since sales began, or since now.
How many sales is it at so far? It'd be nice if they told us their progress. I may have to import this if the original doesn't get released here by Christmas... which it won't.
EDIT: Oh wait, they want 100,000 MORE? Oh, now that's just... ugh.
As per usual, Nintendo will probably pay him to eat his words by the end of the week. Or he'll read all the negativity, and apologise of his own accord. Or both.
Anyway, this man needs to play No More Heroes and MadWorld. Probably The Conduit too. Okami and Metroid Prime Trilogy would also fit relatively well there.
At a price point of 200 points, I'd say having a couple of playable SMB levels isn't unreasonable. New or not, I doubt anyone would mind, but 200 points for a clock that is very similar to something available for free with the system isn't really worth it.
Argh, I deleted my comment not expecting you to respond, dangit. Ah well. Anyway, I figured you didn't "invent" them. I guess imported them would be more accurate.
