You know that I've been collecting flowers each day from nooks and leaving them at my gate for you and the other desert towns right? Get online once in a while and pick some up.

My wife scolded me last night. She uses my character whenever I need to sell turnips, and said that each time she logs on I have a crapload of letters from you, she called me an inconsiderate ass and demanded I started sending back some gifts for you guys.

Damn right!

Why not just give her my code and I'll play with someone more considerate and less hairy!

Uh oh, hang on that means that all the rude letters I send to you are being read by a woman. Oooooops!

EDIT:

Updates done. U suck

Heavy Rain thoughts anyone?

I watched the whole GTTV show last night. My first thoughts were how the graphics look worse than the demo video they put out a year ago. The voice acting in that dectective scene was pretty bad. It all looked like an interactive movie but the producer kept saying there is a lot more to the game. I loved what they were saying about the game, on paper it sounds very interesting I hope its executed well in game.

They mention there are 4 main characters but I noticed that when asked about what happens when a character dies and the game goes on they said over and over again that you will not get to see that characters storyline cause its over. Now here is the issue with that, it sounds like when a character dies the story doesn't really change, they made it seem like you just lose one side of the story completely. Thats not what I expected from this game, I want a game that when a character dies the entire story changes direction. From what they described it just seems like to see the full story you need to keep all four alive an if you dont your game is just shorter.

The club scene was the highlight, the crowds looked amazing. I like that they are not backing down with the mature themes, we should not be freaking out that there is a boob or sex in a mature title, its mature for a damn reason. If rated R movies can cover those topics, games should be able to as well. I need to really see the GAME portion of this before having a solid opinion.

Oh shit, prime trilogy august 24th, one disc, wii control. see ign.

That could be relevant to my interests, considering I haven't played any Metroid Prime (or ANY Metroid game, ever). Of course, that would would be assuming that I have interest in playing those games in the first place. Big "if".

 The first game was and is one of the highest rated games of all time. 

IGN:

Don't say Nintendo didn't do anything for you: on August 24th, the publisher will release Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii. Metroid Prime Trilogy, releasing almost to the day of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption's two year anniversary, is a jammed to the brim package that combines all of Retro's first-person adventure games for the GameCube and Wii, on a single disc. And the two GameCube games – Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes -- have been reworked with full widescreen, 480p support and feature the same awesome Wii Remote/Nunchuk control that made Metroid Prime 3 Corruption so tight. 

This is a far superior strategy than what Nintendo is doing in Japan with the Metroid Prime games, since in that territory Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 have been released separately with the "New Play Control" branding. North American gamers get all three for $49.99, an absolute bargain when you consider 2006's Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is still one of the top titles on the Wii and you're getting three great games for the price of a standard Wii release. 




Earlier this month we had an opportunity to take a look at pretty much the final version of the compilation package. In our hands-on we could take a look at the brand new front end produced by Retro Studios that ties all three games together in a single menu. Players will set up a profile using one of the system Miis, and all progress in each game will be stored to this profile. You'll be able to pull up how far you are, in percentage, in each of the games and the location of your save file. The front end also has an option menu that affects all three games, so if you've tweaked the controls or lock-on abilities, your settings will carry over into each of the products instead of requiring you to change it up every time. 

The front end has been designed with a bit of visual flair that matches the Metroid theme. As you work your way through the menus you're digging through a mechanical tube, and when you select the game to load it's obvious that you're inside Samus' cannon…and the camera pulls out to reveal Samus in the specific form/model of the game you'll be playing. When you select the Metroid Prime 2 Echoes Multiplayer mode from this new front end, the camera pulls out to reveal four Samus characters before it jumps into the action.

We've already experienced the original Metroid Prime on the Wii with its new play controls, and it is awesome. The version that's in Metroid Prime Trilogy is identical to the version released in Japan a few months ago. The voice over narration that was added to the Japanese version during the introduction fly-over is not in the US version; instead, it plays out exactly as the GameCube version did in North America: quiet and haunting. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is equally fantastic with Wii remote controls and the updated widescreen, 480p visuals, but the GameCube game used a bit more FMV – on the Wii, the compression is a little, shall we say, bleah during these cutscenes. But when it jumps back to realtime in-engine, everything flows sharp and smooth. Though nothing's really changed beyond the new widescreen option, it's not farfetched to say that these two GameCube games are some of the best looking Wii visuals to date. 

The multiplayer mode in Metroid Prime 2 wasn't all that special on the GameCube, mostly due to the lock-on controls making it feel like a very rigid deathmatch experience. On the Wii, however, this four player splitscreen mode really opens up, and in our short hands-on we had an absolute blast trying to see who the best Samus is. It's a shame this mode isn't available online, but we certainly can understand why it's remained a single system, split-screen mode. 



Along with the new control and display options, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes has also been given the same medal system that's already in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. As you complete missions you'll be given medals specific to the task completed – each medal has a specific color, and you spend these tokens in the new front-end's option menu for unlockables. Each unlockable has a specific value: you can buy concept art, music, or special options like a screen grabbing utility so you can save screenshots to the internal storage and send them to friends. Some of the more coveted unlockables are far more expensive: we saw a few items that required three red, one blue, three yellow, two green, one orange, and two purple medals. You can also score medals by linking friends over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and earn friend vouchers. 

The key things to remember: three full games, one disc, $49.99, releasing on August 24th, 2009. If you're a late Wii adopter you have no excuse to not put the 50 bucks down – Metroid Prime 3 Corruption is still considered a fantastic Wii title more than two years later, and the two updated GameCube games make for excellent Wii experiences as well. All this for the price of one game? Yes please.

Yay! Ass Creed 2 coming in November! Don't really care too much about CoD MW.

 I had a few pre-written letters for you and Dvader. I had yet to attach gifts. After you said your wife was reading them I went back and re-wrote the one that said PENIS BREATH in capital letters. 

Also, why is no one interested in Modern warfare 2? I haven't even played COD4 yet (f-ing price!) and I'm interested. It was a huge game right and I keep posting stories or videos and no one seems to care?

 As someone who will never get the chance to play it, I still post the updates but can't muster the interest to read more, like many PS3 exclusives

From the pics I've seen, it seems a lot worse than the previous media they've put out, graphically at least. Quite mundane even. I'm glad they they take a mature approach, I mean why should extreme violence be so easy to accept and yet not sexuality? Because people who don't understand games think that its just boys playing shoot em ups.
