Still, I'll wait longer for the fully playable version to release than wait for part of a game. It's just not worth it.

That's completely understandable, but keep in mind that I live in Arkansas - shitty Southern middle-of-nowhere technophobic redneck/hick territory. Chances to see stuff like this locally are practically once-in-a-lifetime events. I can only hope that Jonesboro will continue to grow as a community and support all the anime and video game lovers who live in this unfortunate state. =/

I don't care what the series is. The best game series I've ever played in my life would not entice me into a 1.5 hour wait for a demo. And yes, that did sound magnificently geeky.

Yeah but I compete for roughly one hour, one way, every day to my university so I'm used to waiting i guess. I mean two hours total, I'm used to.
I just have a very active imagination it doesn't seem like long. I mean most of the time I'm thinking of porn so that helps pass the time. *shrug*

You commute. And driving a long way isn't quite waiting. You're occupied. You're doing something that ultimately is worthwhile. Not the same thing for me.

NO I COMPETE CAN'T YOU READ u_u

uhh anyways no, I'm mostly on the train or in a subway. standing or sitting down. I bring a book sometimes but sometimes reading while in transport makes me nauseous.

Word on the street says the controls in the Wii version of Twilight Princess are broken..

ROMate · « **Reply #65 on:** October 21, 2006, 04:27:06 pm »

Broken how? They don't work? They make the game incredibly stupid easy? Whut?

R-9 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 21, 2006, 04:28:21 pm »

Yep. The word on the street.

But which sense of broken is it?

Spaceworlder · « **Reply #68 on:** October 21, 2006, 05:08:12 pm »

Complaints range from a lack of camera control to the developers awkwardly mapping Gamecube control functions to the Wiimote instead of completely overhauling the control system.

Ah...excellent. >=D

So earlier today I played with my Wii.

ROMate · « **Reply #71 on:** October 22, 2006, 03:41:10 pm »

I keep losing interest in it. I just pre-ordered Marvel Ultimate Alliance on PS2, so that's one reason down to get a Wii. Now all that's left are the Sonic and Mario games, but no game system is worth buying for 2 games.

Spaceworlder · « **Reply #72 on:** October 22, 2006, 04:17:05 pm »

Super Mario Galaxy doesn't even come out until next year.

ROMate · « **Reply #73 on:** October 22, 2006, 04:27:26 pm »

Yeah, and I don't know when the Sonic game gets released.

Super Smash Brothers.
With Snake?

*shrug* Eh, it was worth going for three.

ROMate · « **Reply #75 on:** October 23, 2006, 11:23:25 pm »

The only way I will even consider playing the new Smash Bros. is if it has Little Mac. No Little Mac, no ROMate playing.

Wii comes out this month last I checked. If it really is going to be $200 that really is quite a steal compared to buying a 360 or PS3.

Spaceworlder · « **Reply #77 on:** November 01, 2006, 11:33:07 pm »

When you consider that 99% of the Wii launch titles suck, then it isn't really much of a steal.

This would be a different story if, say, Smash Bros. 3 and Super Mario Galaxy were going to be released on launch day.

Asukachan · « **Reply #78 on:** November 02, 2006, 03:39:01 am »

well... aside from the new games, u get cd/mp3 compatibility, an Opera browser, weather forcasts, news updates, an e-mail like system, plus (finally) a system integrated address book for friend codes in the system not per game like DS. Also if ur a fan of older games, like me u get the huge line-up of virtual console games and after that theres like 10 new ones per month...im pretty sure its per month.
Plus, by the time the novelty wears off on the few launch titles i buy, next year will come and that will bring more great games..... So Yes, In my book, it is a good steal

EDIT: oh and I forgot about Photo/video editing/viewing

Spaceworlder · « **Reply #79 on:** November 02, 2006, 09:28:59 am »

The 360 can stream mp3s/video/photos from your PC straight to your TV. With the Wii, you need to use flash cards to transfer your files, a process that is cumbersome.

As for Virtual Console, I'm not impressed. I can already access thousands of ROMs through emulation... for free! With VC, I'll only be able to play like 25 games during the first month, and most of them suck. No way I'm paying $5 for the NES ports of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Also, the Xbox 360 beat Nintendo to punch with this whole 'VC thing'; it's called Xbox Live Arcade.
