Fucking stupid. Absolutely fucking stupid.
NIntendo confuses the crap out of me. Or at least Nintendo of America does. Some of the worst games of all time have been released on the Wii. But they stop Day of Disaster, Fatal Frame. . . I'm sure there's logic there but I'm not seeing it.
no fatal frame 4 in the west? yeah for what? for what? fuck you nintendo your just as stupid as sony

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Tales of Graces doesn't look too good because the character designs are from another designer and not from the main artist (aka Ah My Goddess manga-ka). And what's up with that Elvis Presley outfit of the main guy?
And is that Trace Memory for the Wii? At first I thought it was Trace Memory 2 for the DS than I thought, that looks way to good for the DS.

Pretty much. But the difference between SONY and Nintendo is that SONY at least had good third party relations.SONY was able to get the big games for their platform, Nintendo can't and this is in no doubt an example.If you're in a joint venture with a third party in order to get recognized not releasing it in territories where it will sell more or less the same then it does in its homeland is unbelievable
Yeah SONY had a case of bad hardware, bad customer service, too expensive consoles in order to push their meidum but at least they got the games from third parties and not only that but they were always on par with the times.
Why did it take THIS long to finally get SD card support? Seriously this shit should've been day one.
Why is the Wii's online so fucking bad? Why friend codes? Why not just have a downloadable channel that is opitional for Nintendo games that is geared toward having a passable online experience that you have to pay with your credit card (like $12 Wii points and you have it for a lifetime). That way kids can't play online without the parents knowing and gamers can have a passable online experience.
Why aren't there more Nintendo games that use the Wii controls in a non-gimmicky way?
Why are we limited to 1 VC game released a year?
Why isn't the Wii region free? Honestly Nintendo for a company so worried about piracy you really aren't doing much for it with the Wii updates.
Honestly during 2007 Nintendo was at its prime. Now? They refuse to localize their majority of games outside of Japan to the point where they have to lie in order to weasel their way out of the question.
Pathetic.
Honestly if this keeps up well I just might want SONY back for the console lead. I mean yeah they're dicks but at least they are dicks that can give you what you want. Nintendo is just too out of touch with the market both fanbase, techncially, and expectation wise. As for Microsoft, I don't even want to imagine what a company that made DLC and paying for online standard in console gaming would do. Would I have to start to pay in order to save my games to my hard-drive?

I just read on one of 1up editor's blog that Reggie said in a interview that Nintendo has no plans for a DSi VC. He also went on to say that it'd be impossible for a DSi VC because they want developers to use DSi's unique features.
I know I said I'm sold on the DSi at first, but that is when I thought the VC was coming. But after reading this from 1up and seeing what Reggie said...*sigh*...I'm not sold on the DSi right now.
But it can still happen which is my hope.
The DSi has a lot of potential. If Nintendo went that length to sacrifice the GBA slot for the SD Slot, than a DSi VC that can play all GB, GBC, and GBA games would be the ideal thing. It'd be the ultimate gift to core Nintendo handheld fans.
I hope it still happens. But if it doesn't, I'm sorry to say that the DSi would be a missed opportunity...well, that's how I feel about it. I can care less about the casual-ware crap, to be honest.

As the programmer here, it's only fair I point out that if Capcom used only the assets available from the single-player game (levels, character models, guns, as well as codebases and programming objects) then I wouldn't discredit the possibility of adding multiplayer on top of that.
1.89MB equates roughly to 40,000 lines, and that's providing 50 characters per line, which is actually much more than what would normally be expected on average.
The actual code for software is often relatively miniscule in disc size.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI will only buy the DSi, if and only if you can download GB, GBC and GBA games. Otherwise I will buy the DSLite. Well in theory, I am a broke ass hobo, so I won't be buying anything
Just wanted to say that it's awesome that this place loads quite well on a 66k connection. Even with all the pics GG posts it usually loads consistently and does't timeo ut as much as places like GameSpot do. So nice one Yoda!

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileRE5 versus impressions for all!
Played for many hours now and still enjoy this a ton. Most people won't like it given how it is, thats understandable.I like it cause its still very much RE5, just with people added in as enemies. Basically imagine Mercenaries mode and in the mass of enemies there is another human controlling a character that becomes another enemy to you.Slayers is basically Mercs mode with competing players, you get points for killing enemies, getting a long combo chain, the usual. The issue I have with this mode is that the enemies seem to spawn the same way they do in normal mercenaries mode, it becomes hard to find enemies to kill at times. I usually choose STARS Wesker and blow awayanyone that gets in my way, hydra for the win.
The best mode is survivors which is a mode where you get points only for damaging and killing other players. Enemies are still around but you can ignore them, your target is the other players. So you go on the hunt, you all start with basic weapons, the good stuff is hidden throughout the stage. Obviously the guy the gets the better weapons has a big advantage but they drop it when they die. So the best weapons are always changing hands. I have a lot of fun trying to find the best way to kill someone. Running up to them and just shooting results in a standoff where the person that shot first will always win. So its sometimes better to stay back and move a lot, use grenades, use the environment to keep obstacles between you and the enemy until their health is down. It is so satisfing to have a guy think he got the jump on you, but you are able to escape his inital attack, regroup and launch an attack of your own that kills him.
This mode really shines when its on teams, a team that stays together and works together will always beat out a disorganized team. If you got a partner that works totally in tandem with you its hard to lose. You will be able to keep each other alive. You can use different attacks, like one can stun an enemy while the other is gunning them down. If you find one enemy alone its curtains for him, 2 against 1 means its over in this mode. My favorite moments of this mode is when someone knows they are screwed so they just run, all of a sudden a huge chase breaks out. Since the only way to shoot is to stop, you have no choice but to run right after them. Soon they are jumping through windowns, breaking down doors, going up ladders, all through the level, it turns into a movie like on foot chase scene. When you have partners chasing the same guy one can break off the chaseand try to find a shortcut to cut the enemy off.
One cool thing about this mode is that the match is never over. There are large handicaps in place to make sure the losing players always has a shot at a come back. They get a multiplier on all their points, also when one player dies they lose points while the other gains. So you always have this back and forth going on in the match, keeps things interesting.
OMG I am dying here
Its just like that! Even better, two people throwing grenades at each other.
Okay I am going to do the updates now
Stay away or be crushed by the Juggernaut!
Nintendo not putting out Fatal Frame anywhere but Japan is easily the stupidest thing I've heard in a long ass time.
That's exactly the kind of game they need, I mean what the fuck? God they are lame.
