Re: Rejected! No Online Play for NBA Jam

Sylverstone

I'll probably still want to get it for nostalgia's sake (forget that, I'll just wait for the bargain bin), but I really have to get this off my chest....

DAMN IT! flings objects through windows EPICFACEDESK

You see that EA? That was basically the loss of the EA Sports Wii fanbase (if there ever was one).
I can hear the 360/PS3 fanboys laugh at us now across the internet!

Way to throw away a perfectly good advantage for the Wii, EA!
What a scam! People were looking forward to this! O.O

Were you guys that scared of your underperforming EA Sports titles on Wii that you had to scam all of us into thinking you really cared? Jeez!

Look at Activision with the GoldenEye remake! Do you see them excluding online play? Hell no.
Do you see them going behind the fans' backs to put in a smaller version on other consoles, while touting it as exclusive? NO.
So what did they do right? They kept to their word and most importantly, THEY GAVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT.

It's 2010 man, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FREAKING COFFEE!

I'll say this. I like NBA Jam on Wii. I have grown up on both of the NBA Jam games on the N64 made by Acclaim (Jam '99 and Jam 2000). Seeing it return in its original form is bliss, but....
It's a kick in the nuts because we live in the age of online multiplayer gaming but if they are really trying to bring back the old 4-player local multiplayer scene then it isn't really working out for them. (Nintendo has done it quite a number of times, and it had some mixed results, though it's more positive.)

Well, I'll give NBA Jam about 3 or 4 months then we'll probably see a price drop. Hopefully.

All I can say is that the only thing thing good-looking here is Divergent Shift/Reflection.

Somehow I'm glad I took time off from making DSi Shop update videos for my YouTube channel due to some of these lackluster releases.

Also, thank God Rytmik is coming next week. I may not have points for it (yet) but it's on my list.

Re: Review: Star Fox Command (DS)

Sylverstone

Definitely a favorite of mine (until it got lost...), but it is indeed a great Star Fox title, though those multiple endings looked to put a nail on the series' coffin.

At least I know I'll be getting Star Fox 64 3D when it comes to relive the glory days.

Also, great review Terra!
