Title: Gaming companys
Post by: Zoo on March 23, 2011, 04:06:49 PM
I'm a Nintendo guy. I'm assuming most of us don't have Xboxes ( we all hate Microsoft.) So, Sony or Nintendo?

I have a Wii here. I had a DS but it broke. XD
I also got an adapter so I can go on the Internets with it and download old games which is awesome. I can also play Gamecube games so it more than makes up for the lack of many hardcore games for Wii (We got a bunch of silly things here like Super Monkey Ball or Cookin' Mama).
Now I just need the Gamecube memory card. ::)

Here's some advice for gamecube users:
Never take the memory card out while still using the Wii.
I did that once. All the data off my huge memory card gone. My brother was pretty mad. He had put at least 2 straight days into one of the games on that card.

I'm a nintendo guy myself. Mario, Pokémon those kinds of games. Just bought myself a Nintendo 3DS, a day before the official European release. 8)

i got xbox once they redesigned it, i wasnt gonna get the xbox with the 50% failure rate, thats rediculous. but its really a great deal for only 200$, you get a 3ghz nextgen console. anyway i got a bunch of games for it that i played for a few hours and never went back to it. its a good system however, it is made by microsoft, and while one of the features was the whisper quiet fan, i noticed each cd makes a different vibration sound, and some are real loud, one dvd i was gonna watch was so loud i couldnt focus on the movie so i put it in my 10 year old ps2 and it was totally quiet, other than that ive had no problems with it

i would like to get the wii for the new 2d mario game, but thats the only reason and im not gonna pay 200$ to play one game

Holy crap I'm on a roll. Beat Zoo and Eq in posting by just a few seconds.

I've heard a bunch of scary stories of the red ring of death. Microsoft is just being Microsoft. Making unreliable products...

I got White. It's a fun game. I like the new Pokémon (I still think Johto has the best, but these new Pokémon look great too).

Yes microsoft and unreliablity go together like eggs and bacon. As for pokemon black and white, the all 3D graphics are the only reason I'd buy it. I liked pokemon, but after the first 150, It really started to get worse and worse. Except for munchlax he rules. But I played red and blue, and even gold version. And it was fun to revisit the classic games on the ds and advance. Has anyone noticed that the the only thing that ever really changes about pokemon games is the graphics and the kinds of pokemon. Red version is just as long and complicated as diamond or pearl. Woah. There's five people online. Thats like the most i've seen all year!

I am part of the glorious PC gaming master race.  I'm not enough of a gamer to justify the purchase of a console.

I got a Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. It came with Super Mario and Duck Hunt. Later got a Super Nintendo and stayed up all night several times with my sister playing Super Mario 3.

We actually had a game system before that in the late 70's. It was called Spectrum and had 3 built in games. Tennis, hockey, and handball. It came with 2 controllers. You could play alone or 2 players. See the page below and look at the Telstar Alpha. It was something like that, but not that one. Also further down the page are 3 Mattell handheld games. We had football (still have it), Auto Race, Basketball, and Baseball.

On the topic of the 3DS (that came out today) and starfox 64, Do you think the remake will have voice acting? And if so, will they use the same voices? I wanna "Do a barrel roll!" In 3D!
That frog holding a suitcase is very funny.
