kumquatq3 Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Don't forget Yoshi Island 2 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To be honest.....I never played Yoshi's Island much. Something I should dig up. I just noticed this tho about the new Paper Mario for the Gamecube. Super Paper Mario is, in fact, a side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Mario titles but with the aesthetic qualities of the Paper Mario series. However, it's not just a 2D side-scroller. The game fuses elements of 2D and 3D gameplay together, shifting back and forth between dimensions. Watching the brief video for the game, you can get a pretty good idea of how it plays. The paper version of Mario runs to the right, stomping on koopas, punching bricks, collecting coins, and whatnot. However, you won't just be playing as Mario, it seems. Both Princess Peach and Bowser are shown as playable characters in the video. And in perhaps something of a nod to Nintendo's newest Mario title for the DS, the video also shows all characters getting severely gigantic, blowing through enemies and bricks with reckless abandon. Even more hysterical, the giant characters are actually versions of the original Super Mario Bros. sprites, blown up to epic proportions. Woot, to bad they released this and the new Zelda after the Cube is basically dead.
10k fists Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Yes... in my opinion Halo did really get the Xbox going last round. the Cube appears to be what the 360 will be when the other two really starts going. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you mean the Cube that outsold the Box 4 to 1, or the one that managed to make a profit out of every sell? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The gamecube at no point outsold the xbox 4 to 1...
Krookie Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Are you crazy? For the first year or two that the XBox was out it's sales weren't exactly great. The only people who owned one were Halo-Freaks.

kumquatq3 Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 If that is wrong, I take credit for it with this post: Didn't the gamecube outsell the Xbox worldwide? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> by over 4 times, iirc I thought thats what I read during all that E3 coverage, I couldn't find the article just now when I looked, so I am sticking with iirc.
Darque Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Cube ftw Which is strange given it's limited gaming selection... but then the Xbox is pretty narrow in it's game selection as well....

This generation I would nominate Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 (still the best version), and Wind Waker. Tho, all votes are off till the new Zelda hits, which could ironically be the best game of two generations
alanschu Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Yep, because it failed that badly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you want to call what the USSR and China did as "Communism" then OK. Edited May 17, 2006 by alanschu

Last time I checked the only thing you could call "kiddie" in those games was the art direction. Challenging, quality products all of them. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Hell Kitty Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Challenging, quality products all of them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And vastly superior to many games which label themselves "Adult" or "Mature".

Last time I checked the only thing you could call "kiddie" in those games was the art direction. Challenging, quality products all of them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright, "Kiddy-Looking" games. Better? Sorry but art direction is important to me. Just like gameplay, story, character design, sound, etc. The art direction of most games on Nintendo's consoles is enough to turn me away from those systems, even the GBA. And that doesn't mean I don't buy Nintendo's consoles. I make mistakes too. As for the quality of the games on Nintendo's systems, I've tested enough of them to agree with you. Most are top notch because Nintendo's standards for the games they allow to run on their systems are very high. They still have some lemons though, just like the other consoles. And for the record, RE4 and Harvest Moon are on PS2 as well. That makes them Multi-platform. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/

Judge Hades Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 If you want to call what the USSR and China did as "Communism" then OK. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I count them as attempts of communism and they failed therefore communism failed. It is the inherit nature of greed and lust for power that will constantly make communism fail. It is an utopian dream that will never be achieved due to mankind's twisted and beastial corruption.
