That's exactly it. I've been playing guitar for around six months now, whereas my friend has played french horn in a large band for several years. It's all about the rhythm.
I think it's more to do with the fact that the covers are much more guitar-driven. Playing the Kinks version of "You Really Got Me" (which is arguably more popular) would be somewhat repetitive with a simple solo, and playing Stevie Wonder's version of Higher Ground would be a daft choice for obvious reasons.
The new Fire Emblem game comes highly recommended from me. I'm still waiting for Paper Mario 2, Tales of Symphonia and the Prince of Persia games to become cheap enough for my consumption. Maybe Batallion Wars too. I agree though, complete drought at the moment. We'll get Zelda, and then the GC will die.
I'm a borderline Nintendo fanboy, but the PSX had much better football games. The International Superstar Pro Evolution Soccer Deluxe series was a lot better on the Playstation, and you've already confessed to loving PES.;)
I've found that the main tactic is actually sending out a "Get a damn TV license" letter every other week to anyone not listed and registered. In fact, even to those who ARE listed and registered. EVERY single student in our halls would receive a letter, regardless, which must have been a few thousand letters being dispatched quite frequently.
This is a little redundant, since obtaining a license is useless if you live in Canada. In fact, you're very much capable of watching BBC shows or TV in general without a license in the UK - although you face a lovely fine should you get caught.
Except the financial year doesn't begin in Januray. Although your point may still be relevant, as I'm not sure where the finanancial year does begin. Or if it's called the "financial year". Or if it differs in different countries. I am much use!
Thankyou for that sir, I am less ignorant than I was:)
You're correct about the Nintendo releases too, Metroid Prime 2 is 60hz only as is the special Zelda disc. I expected the reasoning behind "60Hz only" titles would be that it saves some sort of conversion, hence my error.
I agree with most if not all of that, and this is basically what the article is - Aonuma admitting these shortcomings. However, I'll say this - the design of the dungeons in Wind Waker was absolutely fantastic. Ocarina was a better game, but Jabu Jabu's Belly & The Water Temple were incredibly frustrating experiences.
However, you (may have) just given money to someone who is likely to own a Gamecube, and is now lacking a couple of titles from his Gamecube. This is a guy likely to buy himself a game, and so Nintendo have a the chance of vicariously making money from you!
I realise you can sell your walkman to buy games and your games to buy drugs etc, but ssh.
No-one seems to have pointed this out yet, but the main reason that it takes so long for games to make it to the UK/Europe would be that not everyone has made the switch to 60hz television, some people still use RF Units rather than SCARTs. I'm pretty sure the percentage that run their GC/PS2/XB through an RF must be relatively low by now, though. So there should be no excuse soon.
"Hi! I didn't know they let 14 year olds on Slashdot!"
There's actually no age limit for signing up at Slashdot, or at least there doesn't look to be. It's usually 13 on most forums though, so now you know.
Yeah, but this is a Metroid game. The multiplayer is merely a nice addition, Metroid is very much a single player game not dissimilar to the likes of Zelda. If it's anything like Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, then Hunters' multiplayer will be a pretty mediocre after-thought that doesn't detract from the single player game in the slightest.

MSX = A Sega gaming console. Master System, not Microsoft X-box.

Although I do love Ocarina like a cartridge-shaped child.

Not in the UK, to my knowledge. Cable has always been second place to Satellite over here, and I don't recall any such service.

What are you talking about? Wind Waker was loved by the majority, public and critic alike. Fact!
Hee! Their front page has a most excellent typo as well, which I'm far too excited about noticing.
No, you mustn't!
Which makes you a semantics nazi.

I'm sure it's a trend just waiting to be started.

Guy's allowed to have an opinion. Personally, I loved both Metroid Prime games and a big fan of the Metroid series in general.

Where are you getting this from? Absolutely nowhere? Thought so.

But surely the tractor-trailers would be the ones doing the trundling. :)
I want to see the lion king sequels - apparently they're not terrible.
