Yeah, that too. But...I think (and I hate to say it) but the graphics would represent that. I mean, if they're just taking models from two generations ago than that's a representation of just how much effort Genius Sonority is putting into their games.

I love the two Stadiums. Those were great games. As long as the game is great I wouldn't mind if the graphics aren't as good as they could be. But...just reusing models from two generations ago? That's just lazy. I just looked up some YouTube videos. Essentially, the Diamond and Pearl people look good. Popular Pokemon from the other generations have been redone, but the others are old models.

Yeah, I think Triffy basically summarized it. Graphics don't have to be amazing, but reusing such old models really reflects poorly on their attitude towards the games. Clearly they have no interest in making a good game: They only want to suck some money from the Pokemon brand. Production values really make good games better. If a game is good, the lack of graphics and little touches don't change that, but the production values do add a lot to games.

Triffy, have you played Sonic any more at all?
 
I played it a bit today. Speaking about production values...@@ Adventure 2 Battle was wonderful! Why do I have long loading times, bland menus, cheap cinematics, and a cheesy story?

I want to like this game, really I do. I'm still in the first world. Once you beat the actual level, the rest of that world is just sections of that initial level but with a task. In the case where I'm stuck it's...don't break the pots. Hard to do when you're basically stuck on invisible rails.
 
It's not supposed to be news because they're the ones providing the middleware, it's news because of the features. So....it's different because of the features that were listed, "friend rosters, advanced matchmaking capabilities and comprehensive rankings data". Don't know if they will actually deliver but it sounds like good news from them. Like I said, this isn't really news in itself at all but the features they listed gives us some hope and that's the actual "good news".
 
I know this is off subject, but it has something to do with a topic that was on before I was on absence on a cruise. Alright, I was on this cruise and of course there were other people. Well, I was talking to this one kid (maybe 11-14, she looked young). And she was ranting about how the PS3 is the perfect system and all the complaints are crap. And she had this complicated system worked out about how Nintendo was secretly undermining Sony, and was purposely telling people to mess it up. She mentioned that Sony ORIGINALLY had the "wii-mote" idea, but Nintendo had stolen it. So I kinda played along and asked her how she came up with that, she told me that a person working at Arby's had read this article in EGM that told it all. So when we were at the airport in a few days I bought the March issue of EGM. The closest thing I could find to anything related to that was the company president saying (copied directly from that issue) "People keep waiting for us to slip up, and we haven't, so people try to create stories that aren't there." It's amazing what some people will miss interpret these days, I wonder how many other people think the same thing.
 
Since we were talking about Wii online...

Now isn't that lovely? Robo just told me about it and I got to say I'm not happy one bit... I was hoping for one code per system (why even have the main code for the Wii?). I hope all of you like adding new codes for every online Wii game you get. -_-;;

Abby, you'll like that. XD


Prince Gryph: If only I could have had a talk with her. The topic of Nintendo vs Sony (or even Microsoft) is my back yard. XD
If I remember right (don't quote me 100% on this because it has been sometime), Sony had some sort of idea for the EyeToy. It's a patent on a pointer for the EyeToy. If that's taking Sony's idea then sure, Nintendo really needs to go around looking at Sony's patent ideas for new things for a Nintendo system. I would have liked to ask her where did Sony get the idea for an analog stick, or a rumble pack, or a D-Pad, shoulder buttons, the whole idea of a controller, and so on. Where did Sony get the idea of the Sixaxis, the EyeToy, wireless controllers, hell even Sony getting in the gaming market is due to Nintendo (even if it was Nintendo screwing Sony over). That girl wouldn't have her lovely PS3 if it weren't for Nintendo.
And the PS3 isn't a perfect system. Poor backwards compatibility, Blu-Ray probs, and no good games for the system, etc. She's just a fanboy (or in this case fangirl), blinded by a brand name. If the roles were switched around and the Wii was the PS3 and the PS3 the Wii then she'd be bashing the Wii left and right.
 
Yes, I do like that. XD; When I get wifi that should be very cool indeed. Kind of weird that didn't come to the PC first though; esoteric stuff like this is almost always Windows' domain. Huh. Very cool.

As for the Friend Codes thing—that article really doesn't say that there will be separate Friend Codes for each game. It just says that there's a separate roster. That, in likelihood, does mean a separate code for each game, but it could mean that your lists just aren't shared. So you'd have the same code, but you'd have to add all of your friends' codes to each game you played.
 
Based on the stupid name alone, no. Didn't believe the Mushroom Kingdom Hearts rumour.

Abby, that Mii thing has been on Windows for a while. I've downloaded a few, but my computer lacks a BlueTooth driver. There's VB based Mii editors too.

Anyway, so...we still have friend codes. Nintendo better have some sort of central hub. They must know that people want it when there's countless Nintendo WFC hubs on the internet already. Wishful thinking on my part, but I want a ping system. Instead of having to add a friend code just send an impersonal message to someone on the hub, the agree, and then your codes are traded automatically. I wouldn't mind that. It'd be great for parental controls too, because their can be several different parameters to block you from not befriending someone your own age (if you turn on parental controls), and so on. But...no chance of that happening. @@

EDIT: It may be old news considering the games have been out in Japan for a while now, but... We have confirmation regarding voice support in Diamond and Pearl WFC battles. It's a yes! But, only if you have their friend code. Use either the DS' mic or buy the new headset.

Guys, i have some really bad news. I have found two articles stating that there is a PSP2 coming out. I think they are very trust worthy even for a random site i saw on google. The sites explain that a sony executive said that they are making a psp2, and it may be coming out this year. I know we have a huge lead over them, but if this in fact is a mini psp3. We may need to have an intervention at Nintendo of America's headquarters. Plus there are rumors about an Xbox portable. I don't have any good sources, but you can google up for some images.

Articles: VG Charts Game Tab

*PS: I know that Game Tab has the old PSP image, but if you google PSP2, and Xbox portable then you'll find it.

And for some news about Nintendo. I'm getting New super Mario bros. tomorrow, does anyone have any good tips, and such?
 
Mmm, the articles are simply implying the possibility of slimline PSPs. Wouldn't surprise me considering Sony did it for the PS1 and PS2. It was a huge success for the DS when the DS Lite was released, maybe Sony is hoping for some of that success.

XD But...

Given Sony's "original" slimline naming conventions. PS1 became PSone, PS2 became PStwo; that would mean the PSP would become the PSpee. Why would you want to buy something with a name like that? :p
 
errr, then why would you want to buy a Wii then? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, but seriously, a PSP2? Ugh, Sony is gonna have a rough and long road ahead of them, and if you say it's a mini Ps3, it'll go out like a bomb.
 
That's hilarious. But none has said anything about New Super Mario bros. I want some advise. Tips, good lucks. Something. Hehe wii, PSpee. xDDD
 
Um...it's easy.

If you've played SMB3 or SMW, you'll be disappointed.

I guess just collect everything. The experience will be a lot more rewarding if you unlock all the levels.
 
Wow you really did take the "everything" literally. I haven't played the other games but, it is on a lot of high lists so i guess i should get it. Then the Yoshi game, then SM64ds. Hopefully by then i would have collected a good library, and it will be D/P time.

Is there a way for me to transfer my Mii to my PC? Because my laptop is BlueTooth wirelessy like. XD

I can't wait to see how that works out, and how good (*coughbadcough*) the voice comes out over the DS. If it works out well I'll be on the DS all day talking to someone. XD
To me, I like it better if I'm able to talk to people that's only on my friend list. Because I don't want some 10 year old cussing me out because my level 74 Arcanine just kicked his level 32 Torterra in a hole.

A PSP2 isn't that big a deal to me. I mean it's not something to get all worked up over. The DS beat the PSP in the ground, I don't see much changing for the PSP2.

^ Pretty much all I got to say on the PSP2.

OMG! Triffy. Don't do that again. I died laughing when you said "PSpee". I was just reading your post like any normal one and then out of the blue "OMG PSpee!!!!!!". XD


Triffy, this is something you need...

A little something on Pokemon D/P.

I've only glanced at that a little. But I think it's worth posting here.
