Slashdot Mirror

I was playing Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland last night. I thought I kind of knew what there was to the game and how many areas there were going to be to explore, when BAM - it opened up and was even bigger than i thought.

This game just gets to be more and more fun. The classic zelda audio cues and tunes are so fun, too.

This is one of my favorite DS games EVER. i was a little hesitant about importing it, but i have no regrets. With 3-day shippng, it came to around $60, and i think it's worth every penny.

the best place to get the eurpo version (english/french,italian/german) of tingle is at http://www.ncsxshop.com./ that's where i got mine and they were great. had my game in 5 days (3 days + weekend) in perfect condition, authentic, sealed). here's the direct link to the euro version of tingle there:

RLP, the Bleach Wii game is already out and available at importers. Here's the closest importer to me (literally 1 day delivery no matter what option I choose) and they have it:

This brings me to a complaint about the Wii... Nintendo did it right with the NDS when they made no region locking. So why did they do it on the Wii? Sony has no region locking on the PS3. Microsoft doesn't enforce region locking on the XBOX 360 (Microsoft does region lock the games that they publish, so games like Kameo, Gears of War and Blue Dragon are locked)... why couldn't Nintendo do this?

I mean, I have a swap disc (FreeLoader) for the GameCube that I use for Naruto Gekito Ninja Taisen 4, but with this new generation and Nintendo's prior lack of region locking, I expected to not have to play the swap game anymore.

Oh and to avoid making more replies, the NDS vs PSP debate above. Personally, I think the PSP offers more than the NDS does overall. I own both the PSP and NDS Lite Onyx (originally had a Polar White but I sold it to buy the Onyx... I like black consoles :P), and my Onyx never gets played. I use my PSP every day whether it's being used as a gaming console, a music player (which it does a fairly decent job at) or a video player (it does a great job with this). There are a decent amount of titles for it as well as the NDS, but I do have twice as many games for the PSP as the NDS.

Having played with a Wii, I think that the Wii-mote is a better choice than a glove. Golfing without something in my hand would be awkward, at the very least I can hold the Wii-mote in one hand similarly to how I would hold a club, especially considering you have to hold the 'A' button to hit, it puts your hand in a similar position.
Also, I would recommend everyone get get a Wiimote condom. They improve your grip on it and just generally look good.

Yeah...WTF, the headline of the story describes the card as 'gigantic'.

Umm...it's only 8MB.

The standard Xbox memory card was 8MB. But then again, you have a hard-drive, so memory cards are nearly useless.

You can get a sweet Hello Kitty card for the PS2 that came out long before this that holds equal, or more information.

This story on Slashdot did not play up the excitement of having a whopping 8MB of storage, but I've seen it other places. Nintendo is trying to get people excited about this?!?!

What's next- an adapter to play audio cassettes though the Gamecube?

Is that a different release than this?

I had not heard that this (or a similar product) was coming to the 'states.

I must admit to having a lot of fun with this version

Took it over to my parent's house, had a hard time getting my dad to stop playing it (we used to stay up late playing this on the Atari 2600 "Santa" brought me as a kid - found out later that "Santa had spent two weeks before Christmas "testing" the system before he left it under the tree...)

Is that a powder-blue, silver, aqua, Ocean Blue, or Zen Black PlayStation 2?

Nintendo may have been first on the "same hardware, new colors" bandwagon (Game Boy Pocket) but they're not the only ones.
