Re: Japanese DS Sales Spike Last Week in Mysterious Circumstances

SuperMarioFan96

DSi and DSi XL INDIVIDUALLY topped all the other systems. That doesn't usually happen, usually you have to combine sales of both and even then its sometimes not passed the PSP, so the sales for this week were a huge achievement.

"...a staggering 2.6 million, making it the fastest selling game ever in Japan..."
Didn't DQIX sell over 3 million first week?

Re: First Cave Story DSiWare Screenshots

SuperMarioFan96

I didn't realise there was confirmination about this. Wow!

Although I'm not getting too excited over "done." Remember the last time a very similar game also named Cave Story released for a Nintendo download service was said to be "done"?

Re: Peter Moore Disappointed With Tiger Woods 11 Sales on Wii

SuperMarioFan96

Here's my thoughts: First off, last year's game (not this year's, last year's) sold very well. Check this out:

#4 for the month in USA? That's pretty good. Especially when you notice that NONE of the other console's versions are in the top 20. And then, who's going to buy something like this with minimal improvements two years in a row? Not a lot of people. And yes, Tiger Woods' behavior this year may have something to do with it as well.

Re: Nintendo Shows Who's Boss of the August Sales Chart

SuperMarioFan96

@Odnetnin Not only was M:OM not released until the last day of August (as has been said) but NPD does not usually run their charts from first day of month to last day of month. I believe that March, June, September, and December are the only months where the end date goes past the end of the month, all the other months end before the actual end of the month. So NONE of Metroid's sales figures are actually accounted for in here.

Re: First Impressions: BIT.TRIP FATE

Well, yeah, screenshot wasn't the right word, I just didn't know what to call it. But not that I look at it more, I see that now. It even has the rail that Commander Video travels along (at least I think that's what that is).

Re: First Impressions: BIT.TRIP FATE

SuperMarioFan96

Have you made it past level 4 yet Corbie? If the levels are as long as Beat's (or any Bit.Trip before Runner) and there's more than 5 levels that would be awesome!

So, here's another question to speculate..... what was that original screenshot that they gave us supposed to be of..... it clearly has nothing to do with the gameplay...... OR DOES IT!??!?!?!!?!?!?!? SPECULATE!!!

Re: First Impressions: BIT.TRIP FATE

SuperMarioFan96

Great impressions Corbie! Now, you say the levels are as long as they were the earlier Bit.Trip games, but you commented somewhere else (don't remember where......) that "the difficulty really ramps up at level 4." The earlier Bit.Trips only had 3 levels..... how long is this game?

EDIT: Never mind, those last 2 comments weren't there yet when I started typing.

Now, I know the game isn't even out yet, but, where are they going to go after this? They only have 1 game left after this, but where are they going to take it?

Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)

SuperMarioFan96

Didn't enjoy Prime Trilogy and haven't played any other Metroids but this does interest me. Maybe I'll try Prime again (never finished any of them) and try Super Metroid and see if I'm interested more. Fantastic review by the way.

Re: Wii Party Could be One of Nintendo's Top Earners

SuperMarioFan96

Is there a US bundle too? If so, is there a cheaper version available with no remote for people who already have 4? Although, the B button on one of my remotes is sort of messed up (not broken, it works, it's just a bit annoying to use) so I suppose I wouldn't mind a new one......

I will probably get this regardless. It sounds like a lot of fun. I would normally wait and ask for this for Christmas, but with the whole family coming over for Thanksgiving, this might be a fun game to play with my cousins.
