You mean the shells? There is definitely one for the GC, to help play the GC games for it.

Knew that just telling that there is probably going to be controlling options, Nintendo likes to include those these days like with Metroid Hunters.

In any case, I am looking forward to the Revolution, if only to judge it on its merits once it is sitting in my room(or my bros) and allowing me to play Super Mario whatever.


The fact that I can, at long last, find out what Secret of Mana is like with three human players has nothing to do with it.




Also, on an unrelated note, I did something very foolish today. Prepare to point and laugh at the stupid bastard.

Okay. So I picked up a copy of the FF4 remake, and got to the Babel Giant in about ten hours. Not bad for my second time through the game.

I remember that I gotta fight the Elemental Fiends again here, one straight after the other, and save just before doing that. Their asses get whooped, but I still taken a bit of a beating.

And then, my synapses failed briefly.
I did not go back, save and tent. Damned overconfidence. Hell, I didn't even heal after that battle.
For the next hour(or so it felt, at least), I was fighting those damned self defence spheres, with low magic, about ten ethers, plenty of phoenix downs(close to 200) and a couple of elixers.

God-damn healing sphere. Each member of that party must have died ten times each.
But I won. And saved the game at the next earliest opportunity, you can bet on it.

SoM with 3 players? It usually devolves into a screen tug'o'war.

Barely any games involve "swinging" the thing around...


How do we know that? They haven't SHOWN US ANYTHING. They might all require moronic swinging for all we know.

And on an unrelated note, gummi-ships!

Because 1, why would Nintendo do that and 2, because every media place has said it takes barely any hand movement to use the thing..

I wanna play Children of Mana. I think allowing the players to assign 2 weapons to two different buttons was a great idea.

He's got you there. But somehow, I doubt that Nintendo will do something unless they percieve it as fun.


And since everybody knows that all good games designers have a steady supply of pot, we can expect games that involve licking the controller to see how it tastes.

Well, it's "innovative".

Nintendo's not one to mess with controls, sure they'll make a bongo game but when it comes to core gameplay they keep it how it is unless it's truly fun. Case of point? Mario DS, it barely uses the touchscreen what so ever which shows Nintendo isn't going to do something just cause it's innovative, you can also see Mario Kart DS and Metroid Hunters as games Nintendo developed knowing the stylus might work for some but not for all.

Which is why it annoys me that people think the stylus HAS to be used on the DS, Nintendo clearly meant for it to be an option developers can use if it truly improves gameplay not something that has to be used because it's there.

The stylus isn't the only feature on the DS... That thing is loaded with gizmos

Yeah, a real developers toolkit.

Those two things don't make interesting GAMES, though.

No, but Nintendo (+Third-party developers) can do that all on their own.

My favorite use of the mic is blowing up your balloons in the Balloon battle game in MKDS.

Hey, I think the DS is jawesome.

I think the Revolution will probably suck.

At the worst of it all all three systems have the possibility to be as bad as E.T. It depends on if Nintendo does the stick right.

I think I'll reserve my opinion on the Revo until I hear more info.
