Final Fantasy Tactics is almost here for the Advance and it looks hot as shit -- heads up dude! ( Thorough review of AW: http://www.gamespot.com/gba/strategy/advancewars/review.html ) |

9.1! I have that ROM, I just haven't gotten around to playing it. But that nice score has me moist... I'll give her a go. What improvements are they making on Tactics? I seriously loved that game. Didn't read a word of the story though, but the fighting and class thingy is sublime. Subfuckingblime. |

i've been playing metroid fusion the past few days... excellent game! i'm definitely a fan of the metroid side-scroller, personally. anyone who is into the gba, DEFINITELY pick this one up!!!! |

Welcome to 4 months ago! :-p You're right, that's an awesome game... in my old age, I usually beat a game once and never find the time again for it, but I beat that twice and was never bored for a second. I like how you can't really get ''lost'' like in Super Metroid. My sense of direction is similar to that of a chicken with its head cut off and shoved up its butt. |

I'm not exactly sure as I never played the original. I heard the English translation redefined the word 'ass-tacular' and opted to stay away. You should read one of the previews at Gamespot for a quick compare and contrast. |

Man-o-War, this message board has really been pissing me off lately. Reload does not equal Reply. Although the map directions in Metroid Fusion are conveniant, I kind of miss aimlessly wandering around waiting to fall through a trapdoor or accidently bombing a passageway to Chozo-holding-weapon-upgrade land. I don't like how personal Samus gets either.. "He used to call me lady" -- What the hell is that? The fact that she never exposed any vulnerability was what I was able to relate to.. |

Pfft, you'd like to THINK you have an inpenetrable carapace shell, but you've got a gooey caramel center, I bet. I kind of miss the ''needle in a haystack'' desperation too, at times... but I have some bad experiences with that kind of thing. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah.. Me too. After a few seconds of reflection and contemplation I've decided that the navigational aid is a welcome addition afterall. I just wish the game took place on a planet instead of a space station.. That'd be totally coolio if Nintendo gave Metroid the Castlevania treatment and squeezed out a couple more GBA titles.. Minus the latter series' mediocrity of course. As for my insides, I've got something even better than caramel: Jewish blood - more precious and sought after than even the rarest sapphires and metals. Of course, being one yourself you probably already knew that. |

If you link up a GBA with a completed copy of Metroid Fusion into a GC with Metroid Prime, you can play the original Nes game on the GC! Similairly, if you've completed prime you get a new suit type in Fusion... Re: GC Advance Wars, it'd be good, but having other players able to see your turn (IE characters hiding in trees/fog of war) would ruin it a bit. Perhaps people use linked up GBAs to take their turns, but the general map and 3d renderings of battles could be shown on the TV? I was playing Wind Waker again last night. Excellent game... I can't wait for Super Monkey Ball to arrive. |
||||||||
|

w00t! My copy of Super Monkey Ball for GC just arrived... come 5.30pm I'll be rushing home to play this :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I didn't like Super Monkey Ball. Is it primarily a party game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Again with the Eurosnob treatment. I'm on mission 11 or 12 in Advance Wars. Out of the 3 COs I have access to right now, Andy is definately my favorite - His 'Hyper Repair' special is unparalleled. Anyway, have fun playing Monkey Ball and not Wind Waker crotch weed. |

What other games do you have for your Gamecube? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

At the moment I only have those two GC games, but Jedi Chris kindly lent me Metroid, Simpson's crazy taxi-alike game and starfox. I have Enter the Matrix pre-ordered. Monkey Ball is great multiplayer, but if you're a fan of marble madness you should like it single player too. Andy is my fav. CO too. Nell is pretty good as well, but she's the last one you get if I recall correctly. |

SMB jnr look great ! My mate was playing it in work today. |

Yes, it's really good- very close playabiltity wise to GC version. Not a great deal in it graphically either! It runs well on an emulator, so it's worth a download from kazaa :) |

awesome, it sounds like there is another Metroid in development for the GBA called , long live the 2D game engine!!!!!!! |

From the Metroid database at http://www.classicgaming.com/mdb/ : "The rumors were true: Metroid Zero Mission is an all-new 2D game for the Game Boy Advance! Early screenshots revealed by Nintendo show a very classic-style Metroid adventure, devoid of the twists found in Fusion and looking more like Super. Also, both the screenshots and the first piece of official Nintendo art for the game show Samus wearing her original Power Suit -- not the version with the beefed-up Varia shoulders featured in Metroid II and beyond -- which, along with the title of 'Zero Mission' and the very original-Metroid-looking blue and gold logo on the game's title screen, indicates that this game may very well be a prequel to Metroid 1! Old-schoolers rejoice -- this one looks fun!!" *pelvic thrust |

Advance Wars just keeps getting better and better. I'm on the second battle with Sturm and have yet to feel the wrath of his CO ability.. Hopefully I'll be able to establish a modicum of military strength before he unleashes it on me. I haven't even tried multiplayer mode yet though I bet it's a buttload of fun. What is your normal method of play Ceri? Do you link your GBAs up or do you pass a single unit around? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey cabbog, have you heard that Metroid: Zero mission is actually a remake of the original metroid ?. It's a bit of a dissapointment actually, I was expecting a more developed game engine from fusion.... ( u never know though I guess) * does a reverse pelvic thrust btw, have you seen the metroid prime 2 teaser trailer? it looks pretty shiny allthough it's all 3rd person footage.. |

The graphical style is supposedly more 'Super' than 'Fusion' which is a good thing in my book. I didn't particularly like all the exotic colors and gameplay alterations in Metroid Fusion -- I've always been more of a damp subterranean thing myself. The more drippy caverns the better! As for the game engine, I'm certain it will be just as dynamic, if not more so, than the one used in Fusion... And if the game is indeed a remake it's sure to vary radically from the original. I doubt they're planning on directly porting the 1985 NES game(which I shamefully still haven't completed), especially after it's been made freely available as an extra on Metroid Prime. I haven't seen the trailor of which you speak.. Care to post a few stills? Prime was excellent but my personal favorite of the series is still Metroid II: Return of Samus. |

Pass a single gba around. Takes a long time to play a 4 player mind. Really good way to spend a 5 hour train journey with 3 mates :) |

Are you planning on buying the sequel? Read any good previews? I've seen nothing other than a few screenshots and a caption or two.. More! Also, does anyone know of any Metroid Zero screenshots online? I'll pay you handsomely. |
||||||||
|
|

I've not seen the sequel yet. I should get a copy as soon as it's near release. |

|

Kewl! Me too :P(_i_) I'm on the final mission now and it's hard as hell. Every time I finally put together a formidable offense Sturm's Meteor Strike is there to lick my ass. I've got Grit on the west side, Andy in the middle and Drake on the west. Any combat strategy from a venerable AW veteran like yourself would be greatly appreciated(though I may have actually taken a different route than you as Nell hasn't been made available to me). |

Mmmmmm, the atmosphere on Super Metroid was so much gooier and murkier and slimier and scarier and eerier and alien-er and all those good adjectives. A return to that style will be welcomed by me. Fusion was pretty fruity looking and bright in places, like you were battling in a Jolly Rancher commerical. |

*Drake on the east And for the record I think the new Zelda titles look pretty tacky. |

Totally hear you bro. |

And don't feel shame in never beating the first Metroid... I haven't either. Games were not for the weak at heart back then... they're easy now cuz they WANT you to get to the flashy parts, but back then, with no flash, all that's left is pure CHALLENGE. Baby. |
||||||||
|

I've gotta agree with you guys with the second installment (snes version) as the most potent of the series. I was well pissed to be told that fusion would have everything and more than the second, only then to fall short in the scanner department. I don't know why they didn't include this in fusion, maybe it would have made it even easier still? and speaking of easy, what's going on with these bosses in wind waker? after finishing metroid prime the bosses in wind waker seem far too easy, theres no stressing out during battles wondering if I'll make it (like in metroid prime), oh well, lucky that everything else in the game is sheer perfection :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

THIRD installment. The mind-blowing(at the time) sequel came out for the Gameboy in the early nineties - several years before Super Metroid. The boss battles in Wind Waker were pretty easy.. But they're so incredibly awesome!! I've never had so much fun pulling down loose plates of rock on to the head of a giant one-eyed lava crustacean thing my entire life! Cheers for the Zero pics by the way. Still not enough to get a feel for the style though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok the third, I stand corrected, anyway I'm sure you get my point, ...the boss fights in zelda are indeed awesome and well designed , just a little too short, (here's hoping that after completion a HARD mode will become available) 8 zero pics here -------> |
||||||||
|

Well I'll be a koopa's uncle! Looks like Nintendo decided it would pay off in the end : http://www.gamespot.com/gba/news/news_6028249.html I think it's a smart move and can only end up generating more sales. Way to go Miyamoto, here's to dominating the market again. *cleenk |

0 Zero pics there. 'Url not found' I'm going to bed now -- You better have some steamy shots for me by the time I wake up tomorrow. |

grr what! I just tested the link and it was fine?, you might want to check your pipes for rats with bombs... new zelda looks tacky? are you referring to the 4 swords for the gamecube? I hope this isn't the "next zelda" shiggsy was talking about, as I was kinda hoping for something more along the lines of "zelda:firecaster"... |

Still weren't working today. It's probably a network thing on my side.. Just reassure me with lots of love. Or get Ophecks to post them. Re:Zelda - yeah, it seems like sort of an odd direction for the series to go. Give me more immersion, more crying grandmothers and more reason not to make the couch a seperate being from myself! |

An old girlfriend bought me Aria of Sorrow for my birthday - She actually went to Electronics Boutique, told them her situation and asked for a recommendation. That deserves some major cunnalingus. I played it for about 5 minutes and it looks pretty decent.. The animation is much better than the other two. One thing I don't understand is why Konami takes the time to make such beautiful and sophisticated looking characters only to slaughter them with such lines as "Huhh? Wha-What the heck is going on here?". What does the big JW think of the newest Castlevania? You may have posted your impression in this thread already but I'm too tired and lazy to scroll up and check. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yooohoooo! It's late-night videogame chat time again! I've decided that Aria of Sorrow is definately the Beyonce Knowles of the trio - Gorgeous graphics, classic soundtrack and a stellar combat system gets it an 'A' in my gaming grade book. The crown jewels are right here. I took my gift card to EB today to hunt down F-Zero or Mario Kart; unfortunately the latter was the only one available and it was an extra $10 I didn't have. I opted instead for a special edition of Max Payne on the Xbox which the Klingon cashier rang up in bullet time... Awesome. The game transition is flawless and the controls work like a charm. It's a real shame there's no console modding community(nothing encouraged anyway). Has anyone seen or read anything on 'The Fall of Max Payne'? Another drawer-soiler in the making I'm sure. |

I hope you're not avoiding me Mr.You-know-who. I bet you're downloading AOS right now for the first time.. Some Castlevania fan. If Simon Belmont were alive he'd lash that pallid ass of yours. |
