*orders time machine to travel forward to nov 26 to get Metroid Prime 2: Echoes*
Really can't wait for this. Metroid Prime is my favourite game ever, so obviously I cant wait to see how the sequel turns out!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

tman

viewtiful joe 2 looked fairly... smeh from the trailer

i've high hopes for retro recreating some of their prime magic though.
should be a great crimbo

I never like it when release dates are brought forward. A half assed job is usually done on the game (tho not always). Time will tell

Jim

Hell, I wouldn't even care if it was the same game except new levels. And paint over the old levels to make them look new. MP2 is the reason I re-bought a GC.

you have to be the coolest girl ever!!! Metroid prime and viewtiful joe are my favourite games on the cube by mile. screw the wind waker and mario sunshine I thought they were crap(well wind waker wasnt crap but it was simple). I really cant wait for MP2 though. Tales of symphonia looks amazing too. im currently playin tales of phantasia on snes to get me ready.

rainbow kirby

But Wind Waker is so pretty...
I'm thinking of importing Tales of Symphonia as soon as the repeats are over. Looks fantastic! And Viewtiful Joe rocks too.
Henshin-a-go-go baby!

Retr0gamer

i've been waiting for the last week and a bit for tales of symphonia from dvdboxoffice. We're getting Metroid Prime 2 a few days after the yankies and the japs have to wait much longer.

ROCK ON!!!!!

I liked the cel shaded graphics and the movements. I just think they didnt have to make it sooooo cartoony. cel shaded young link from OoT would hvae been cool. It was wayyyyy too easy though. I was think ing of importing tos myself. I tlooks beautiful and I just love the sound of not being finished the game for about 40-60 hours.

stupid repeats!!!!! I just got halo for my pc and ive been playin that and I just cant study. I have 4 to repeat too :eek:


ps I stand by my statement of you being the coolelst girl ever!

evad_lhorg

JUST FOUND OUT TALES OF SYMPH IS ON CDWOW FOR 47.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so gettin that! hope my tv is ntsc compatible. Ill have to get that free loader thing too. what is the freeloader thing?????

Ciaran500

Freeloader is a cd that you put in before the game to play a gmae from another region. It doesn't work on every game! Theres a big list of game that don't work somewhere on the net.

evad_lhorg

well I assume it works on tales of symphonia because they wouldnt sell it other wise and it says below it when you clck on it that you need the freeloader thing to play it

rainbow kirby

The only thing I thought had problems with the freeloader was F-Zero GX...

evad_lhorg

Ah well i have that! once tales works on it I dont care.

nesthead

ermm forgive me for asking but what the hell is tales of phantasia and tales of symphosia and why i never heard of them till now??

also do you need a 60htz TV for freeloader to work??

evad_lhorg

Tales of phantasia is an rpg on the snes. tales of symphonia is also an rpg but is cube exclusive. the tales' series is kinda lilke final fantasy series. very japanese. but with a cool battle system where you actually control the movements and not just the moves used. They are very good games. tales of symph in japan has tales of phantasia included. there are other tales' games, tales of destiny(1 and 2), tales of legendia will be the sequel to symphonia. tales of the world,


tales of symphonia was released in japan on ps2 but they arent gettin it here. the will get their own tales game called tales of rebirth. tales of eternia is also set for release on the psp.

they are made by namco. another namco rpg called baten kaitos is on its way adn is also cube exclusive. Its a card rpg i think. I dont really understand how they work but its getting a big hype.

the US metroid prime 2 is available to pre-book on lik-sang now for under €50. If you have freeloader (like me) you get the game early, and cheaper cos it ships on the 14th. Nov over there. Just booked mine a min ago

rainbow kirby

I'm in Tallaght myself...

evad_lhorg

Deadly. sure ive probably seen you as i tend to be in there a bit. STALKER¬!!!!!!!!!!!!

Retr0gamer

Rainbow Kirby do you know when its closing and more importantly are they going to sell off any retro stuff they happen to have lying around in the back for cheap in a clear out sale?

rainbow kirby

I have no idea when it's closing. I think they're still trying to sell the lease. I know they still have some Dreamcast stuff.

Strange. What is it about Nintendo that causes it's fans to use too many !'s . I'll have to investigate further.

rainbow kirby

Just if anyone's curious...
Nintendo's American release list

Mario Golf is fairly entertaining there is a story mode that I havent bothered much with. It has a long potential life because you can play 2 plaer on the same GBA. Mario Vs Donky Kong is good but there is only so long you going to do the puzzles for before you get very board...

evad_lhorg

final fantasy 1 and 2 arent great. they really need to be getting final fantasy 6 on there! now that was amazing! hopefully ds will get it and even better... VII

If it wasn't for X-2 FF2 would be the worst final fantasy game. FF1 has dated a lot. anyway they got released on PS1 only a while ago and are coming out as mobilephone games.
