When Ninten's great grandmother died in "Earthbound zero", it was just so touching to see the whole Magicant to fall apart. While "Earthbound zero" (or as I rather call it, Mother) is a old NES game, it was quite rather touching. It was the only time I remember crying in any game.
A shame that Earthbound zero/Mother actually never got released in US...
Seriously, he starts by blowing into the cartdrigde and inserts it into his GB. And well, it's been said that while it get's rid of *some* dirt, it does... create uneccessery moisture that deteriorate the cart over time. There is more safe ways to clean a cart than by blowing into it.
And oh, the mentioning about the music being Japanse gave me a chuckle. And the SMB theme is probably one of the most known Video games themes ever.
Well, Nintendo dosen't name their next Gamecube Gamecube 2. Althought they did keep with the Gameboy on each portable system they released, until they released the DS. But they didn't increase a number.
And Xbox 360 does sound alot better than Xbox2. Besides it's going to be anything with an X in, especially when X-box is using Direct-X technology.
Bits dosen't matter that much really... 360 bits means nothing.
Wasn't the Ps2 2 bit? Yet it creamed the N64 console in terms of perfomance!
I can't wait for Sony's 3 bit console.
Heh, it's quite apparent he took some ideas out of his past games. Sucha as Simearth, where the evolution went from bacterial stage to the stone age into the modern world and then into the exodus.
Not saying it's a bad idea, Simearth was a good idea but it was hard to understand for most people. This game is probably alot more easier to grasp.
And I really don't mind the idea of severeal types of gameplay in one game. My favorite games are hybrids after all. I just hope it's smooth between thoose games.
It depends on what type of Wireless controllers. Obviously Radio based ones are better than IR based ones. Wireless do work when done properly, wavebird for Nintendo Gamecube is a such controller.
Heh, maybe all of the next three decided to have Wireless. While I hate wires, I don't feel exactly like to buy/charge batteries now and then, especially if it's severeal controllers. And if it dies during a multiplayer fragfest, but then you can make it warn about the battery level somehow.
Becuse after all, there is so many errors in thoose old TV series compared to the Video games. Cavemen in SMW? Real world in SMB3? And when did Link live together with Zelda?
Of course, I loved this shows as kid. Becuse it had my favorite charachter, thought you realise how bad they are when youre older... and now you're used with having Charles Martinet as the offical Mario voice.
Do the Mario song is still a classic, becuse it's bad in a funny way.
Judging past history, this game will sell moderatly as best. With a few expections (such as Goldeneye for the N64) games based on movies are seldom that much of an success.
If the Gameplay sucks, not even the franchise makes it sell. If it's moderatly good, it's easy money obviously.
"Franchise" games usually have nice graphics but not that great gameplay, I blame on the amount of money involved... And if the ingame story is badly done and is ungodfatherlike, then the fans surely get's furious too.
Seriously, they probably will not. As a patent on the "wiki" system is far-fetched....then, many patents are far-fetched but still get through. Soon someone patent the wheel too.
Anti-piratbyrån not piratbyrån. I use that torrent site myself, I actually quite like it.
And heh, althought I still had bad experinces with the bahnof ISP...
...I realise, I wrote piratbyrån. Not antipiratbyrån. xD
Why you should not post slashdot comments late at night... yeah I was critizing antipiratbyrån (Anti-Piracy Bureau) not the awesome torrent site with the similar name. Which I use quite often for... nice stuff.
Most of the stuff they found was American stuff that the American anti-piracy orginsations probably would look for ironically.
I'm so glad there is no international anti-piracy orginsations that works... yet.
Certain politicans and famous people in Sweden didn't like the actions of piratbyrån. They deem them too harsh, and they use contrersional teqniques that is deemed imorally in Sweden (but probably would be ok by US standards, go figure).
Antipiratbyrån had bad press lately, and this is not making it better. Not at all. I'm not saying that stuff should be free on the net as some zealots may say, but they're using teqniques that is just... wrong.
Heh, I used to have Bahnof as ISP. It was my first "broadband" ISP. At first I was quite relived at how much faster than dial-up it was. Then I was plagured with alot of down-times... I switched back to Tele2 eight months later, thought using their ADSL service instead.
Actually I find DS better to play GBA games on, it have better sound and more clear screen than a GBA SP. I know since I actually own both.
Althought it can be awkard to control certain games on a DS, since the select and start button is not very reachable...
And the DS is around 2x of a GBA SP's size, but it's not much bigger than a orginal GBA.

But we are building on a giant spaceship since the 1960's. Right?

Not a cartoon, but there was a Wing Commander movie. Then, the Wing Commander game was a movie/game hybrid in itself.
Anyone else starting to think on DDR with a big dancefloor instead of a tiny dancemat? With all thoose touch sensors...

Now your created the new internet fad, and when I thought people got tired of Numa Numa and badgers.

It's classic, and you can do art. It's time it get's some light.
And hey, it's Mario!
There is plenty of womens on the internet. With $9.99 per month...
It's either ctrl, alt or delete.

If it would be the japanse site that got slashdotted, or if it would be Altavista's Babelfish.
Luck it is good, there is none of those sites down.
Babelfish is the very splendid equipment.
If I use my old 486's monitor for long periods of time I tend to get headache. On newer CRT's I don't get a headache from them.
Yep, we learnt changelog about USA in school. There was a quite few intresting upgrades during the 19th century.

I hope i'm not the only one who want a such featuree on Slashdot too. Wouldn't that feature be quite useful here?
