Re: Helix Coming To Europe This Friday

[Supermarioman], "I do hope you hve to suffer a 2 weeks without Mega Man 9 because, you already have two great games we don't have: Maboshi and Bomberman, not to mention you had the mega mans before us, I want to see how bad karma is to you"

Sarcasm I hope? lol. I'll send you Bomberman and Maboshi if I could have retail releases (and prices) like you do. But heck, the world isn't fair, just take things as they come. I for once don't care about Helix, Megaman, Strongbad or that NoE is 11 games behind, I just want Frat Party!!!

Re: Defend Your Castle On Its Way To Europe Soon

PALgamer

Went to the PEGI link in the news and saw some other WW titles already rated like Critter Round-Up, Helix, Home Sweet Home, SBCG4AP Homestar Ruiner, Midnight Bowling and Plättchen Twist 'n' Paint. But only Critter Round-Up, Defend Your Castle, Helix and Midnight Bowling have all the countries rated.

See you next week DYC

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Magnetica Twist

PALgamer

NOA has to let NOE catch up, that's why you have single releases. Let us see how many we get this Friday, it will be funny, uuuhhhmmm, OH! I can see it, it's My Pokemon Farm, har har har.

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

PALgamer

Just did a little filtering on the Out Now list for VC, both Europe and US have the same amount of games available (233 with 27 titles exclusive between them).

@PSWii60Gamer: Europe gets 5 games per two weeks.

@Peznaze: Forgot about the one title per publisher, but that kinda makes it worse, since publishers only have two chances to sell said title during a month, having a whole bunch out then. Ohhh, I see it now, they are releasing so few, so every developer has their time to shine, HA! Thanks Peznaza. So that is why after 1 month since the launch of WW they have only added 3 games to the service. The 100 developing WW titles are going to last them years

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Block Breaker Deluxe and Cocoto Fishing Master

PALgamer

This is 2 WW less than I was expecting. They need to start picking up, because they lagging behind 7 games.

@Peznaza: It's not simultaneous releases, it would have been if My Pokemon Ranch was also released! Remember, like you say, it's a two week window, and the releases in those two week from the US should be released here also to be simultaneous.

Re: Fischer Completes Spectacular U-Turn On Wii Storage

Flash drives are expensive if you compare it via the size/price ratio. It's the future (the wii is the only current gen console that has a flash drive), they are more reliable than a traditional hard drive and consumes less energy. That is why flash drives are beginning to appear in laptops to extend the battery life (expensive laptops). They are also supposed to have higher read times, etc, but it seems they haven't improved performance that much.

I also have plenty of flash drives, but I still would prefer an SD solution since it is what the Wii was going for. SD inserted inside the Wii or USB sticking out the back?

Re: EU VC Releases - 13th June - The Last Ninja 2, Alex Kidd and more!

PALgamer

Having to wait 2 weeks for VC and WW releases is going to be hard. 5 games is good for an extension of two weeks (3 one week and 2 the other). For WW 4 is also expected (2 between each week).

So from now on, I would expect VC week to have 6 games released and 4 on WW week. Then it would be equivalent in quantity to what weekly releases should be like for both VC and WW at the same time.

That is quantity, but quality is subjective. This week I like the C64 games

Re: Hands-On With Eternity's Child

PALgamer

I fear the gameplay issues won't be ironed out completely when the game comes out. This is because the mobile version of the game had horrible controls.
Hope to be proved wrong.

Re: Nintendo: "Hard Drives Are For Geeks"

PALgamer

Is this true then? I thought it was a rumour! I only listen to what Iwata said (not this nobody), and wait for the day when the SD expansion slot will truly be a SD expansion slot in a future firmware update
