  1. Re:Port of Call on Square Enix Considers FFIII On GBA? · · Score: 1

    It seems a pity that they went through the trouble of making an updated/prettier version of FF3 for the ill-fated Wonderswan(dive) only to see no audience to sell it too.
    They didn't make an updated/prettier version of FF3 for the WSC. It was announced, but canned in all but name fairly early. Square found it easier to port Final Fantasy IV instead (no need to update it, after all), and even that was released before the system really tanked.

  2. Re:Ackbar's Perephrials: Not Zapper knock-offs on Square Enix Standalone TV Sword Mayhem · · Score: 1

    Clueless or not, if you make a title that can sell 3 or 4 million in a week in Japan, you have a fair amount of clout. Final Fantasy titles generally do about half that.

  3. Re:Someone's not paying attention on Is ROM Collecting Wrong, or Just Misunderstood? · · Score: 1

    You mean like this, this, this, this, or this?

  4. Re:Yeah, that was news on Law Professor Examines SCO Case · · Score: 1

    Given that the author is a professor of law, it wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption that his knowledge of law would be better than his knowledge of history.

  5. Re:Ok, I just must ask..... on Dragon Ball Z Game Creators Quizzed · · Score: 1

    Well, the Xbox does have the best numerical stats out of the three current consoles, as well as the most "additional" standard features (Built-in broadband support and hard drive). It has four controller ports, like the GameCube (and Dreamcast), something which the PS2 does not haveâ"rumor has it that its a price of backwards compatibility. The higher system stats generally translate into the best-looking game for cross-platform releases; there's a reason that the Xbox version is generally the one showcased in ads, both television and magazine.

    Now, of course none of that actually matters for most intents and purposes, but they're definitely some reasons why people might prefer the Xbox to the PlayStation 2.

  6. Re:What to do with the old one? on Game Boy Advance SP Sells 1.1 Million in U.S. · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming he meant that you save the original GBA so that you could play Crystal Chronicle with people who don't have their own GBA. That could just be common sense, though. He did point out that one is needed for every player.

  7. Re:Compared to the GP32... on Game Boy Advance SP Sells 1.1 Million in U.S. · · Score: 1

    GP32: US$Â159.00.
    GBA SP: US$ 99.99.

    Something to do with it? Maybe.

  8. Naming Conventions on Game Boy Advance Designer Talks Handhelds · · Score: 1

    I suppose it would be damaging to Slashdot's reputation to write Game Boy Advance properly.

  9. Re:Games are not just entertainment on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 1

    Uh, why would the word spoony decrease your verbal skills. If you'd bothered to look it up instead of assuming it wasn't a real word because you'd never heard it, you'd find it sums up Edward pretty well.

  10. Re:slashdot needs a "lego" category on Lego Machine Gun · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken, the toy category uses a 2x4 red lego brick. That's good enough for me!

  11. Destruction! on Lego Machine Gun · · Score: 1

    What havoc technology wreaks. Pretty soon the thought police are going to throw some five year old in jail for mowing down thirty lego men at once.
