Atari Master

I imagine that the U.S. announcement of $399 and $499 isn't too far behind. Ken says the US will get no breaks on the price.

Hrmm, I usually hear bad stuff about Madcatz. Gah. : /

I dunno, maybe I can find a first party one cheap somewhere? I lost all of my stuff in the hurricane. I have to replace the controller I lost ($20) and the memory card (at least $20). Its annoying, but I miss my games!

Eh, as long as the graphics are good, I don't think there will be a problem. The X-Box and Gamecube were both more powerfull than the PS2, but the PS2 creamed both of them. It's going to come down to what appeals the most. From what I've seen, people seem to like "different." The DS is different and has games that are branching out to non-gamers. Hell, they even have recipie DS carts coming up to teach people how to cook, I believe! The "different" factor will be the Wii's biggest attraction.

Considering Nintendo's official memory cards cost $30 each, I was thinking about going to a third party. I was wondering if this was a good idea. Are any of the third party memory cards good? I heard they tend to break a lot. : /

Don't mention Adrian M! I haven't seen him in years and he still gives me a headache.

What chance did the XBox 360 ever have? Without the games Japanese like, it will never be popular. A company never wants to abandon a market, but MS might be better off writing off the JP market. Who knows they might sell more if it was only available as a quirky import. I doubt that this deal will come over to NA any time soon though. Maybe when the PS3 has it's first price drop, this will come over here. Eh, they had some game from the creators of Chrono Trigger that they were banking on. Anyway, I don't know. Sony has already pissed off so many people due to their arrogance. Even at TGS, people were pretty pissed that they barely showed any good gaming stuff. I think it's time Sony lost their #1 place in the console market. Let Nintendo or MS have it, though I'm afraid of what could happen if Microsoft got hold of it...

There's a lot of stuff coming up that I want. Namely... 1. Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Minis 2. Final Fantasy III 3. Contact 4. Children of Mana 5. New Castlevania (came out yesterday) 6. Cooking Mana (came out a few days ago) 7. Megaman ZX (also came out a few days ago) Lots o' goodies coming up.

I'm still not getting one, as the Wifi adapter will probably cost a ton. Also, from what I can understand this deal is Japan only.

Wii will rock. Your opinions on the games are just that... Opinions.

Gasoline? Jeeze... I might try rubbing alcohol first.

Some idiot used a marker on an SNES and N64 game I got. Any way to get it off without damaging the poor cart?

Hmm, I'll have to see... Don't know. It didn't look like it was on the copper, though.

Today I hit a pawn shop and found 2 game genies for 4 bucks a pop. I have a question, though. I didn't buy them, because on the bottom it looked like the pins had green on them or something. I was wondering if this was normal or not. I did get a boy and his blob for like $4.00, though. Don't know if its rare or not.

Dunno if that bothers me. Usually different colors drive me insane.

From what I can tell, it hasn't been 100% confirmed that it isn't there. Matt from IGN said it's undecided, but will likely be there. Lets all hope!

When the controller was shown, people complained and cried... Then people got over it. When people found out it wouldn't be as powerful as the PS3, 360. They cried, and moaned... Then forgot about it. When people heard the name "Wii." YOU GUESSED IT! They cried and moned... Then forgot about it. I doubt this will be much different.

Oh. Well. Crap. : /

Didn't they say it would be the company's choice?

Wii.

I think Twilight Princess will be there on release for the Wii, just not the GC. The Wii version supposedly has more features, too.

I'm a Nintendo Fanboy!... Sort of! Wii wii wii wii wii wii! What? I'm masturbating! Anywho, I'm not really sure. I'm pretty sure there's a button on the ends of the wiimote and the nun-chuck. I wish I could help you out more, but I've never played the Wii or Trauma Center (though I'd like to)

I don't know about that. It's been known for a while that the PS3 hadn't started production yet. : /

Replace that bottom part of the Nintendo Gamecube? You know, the part you take off to put the GBA adapter on. Before Katrina hit, I packed up all of my games and stuff, but unfortunately left that little part back (and a feck ton of accessories). Since I'm a particular bastard, and I feel like playing my GC again (I'd have to re-buy my connection cables, memory card, and controller) it's irking me to have a missing part. Do you guys think if I emailed them, they might replace that little part at the bottom?

Rumor has it that the Kiosk (sp?) will be in stores in October. So playing it may not be out of the question.
