Innnteresting. Anything special you have to do to get it? Ignore that question if it's spoileriffic though.

There's a fake ending?

1, 3 & New Nightmare are my favourites as well - and sure enough, these were the three that Wes Craven had a hand in either writing, directing, or both.

How do you even remake Friday the 13th with Jason anyway? He wasn't even in the first movie, heh.

See I could be down with that rumored prequel.. with Englund as Krueger again.. but for me.. yes it's part that I'm pissed off that people have to mess with classics that don't need to be messed with.. but it also pisses me off that no one can be original, it seems. Seriously. Is it that hard to invent your own horror franchise? If it takes off - then great. If it sucks - well, maybe you need another line of work then!

What. The fuck. Do those things get put into the special features of the DVDs? I mean, that seems like a pretty big reveal for it to just be a mobile phone gimmick episode..

Whiskers, dude..

I'd be psyched for this too if it were getting a Wii release. I still have a lack of faith/interest in either of the "big" nextgen systems. Maybe one day, heh.

Ahh I figured it might be a motion thing! Cool!

True enough. I know that Columbia house offers Blu Ray as well.. but only AFTER you become a member... anyone know what their prices are like?

True, but if I can't even get a 5 day forecast for Tokyo, and only today's, then what's the point?

Sorry, I should note that I would be paying bullshit Canadian markup on said discs. You are correct though, I should be using Amazon.com (ships DVDs to Canada but not videogames o_O) and save tons off of what stores are charging in person.

Yeah, I'd wager that browsing for hours on end could take the same toll. That said, browsing on the Wii is a neat concept, but the novelty wears thin pretty quickly.

The only reason I even have cable is because it's included in my rent. If not for that I wouldn't have it either as it's a waste of money for someone who pretty much only watches the news plus three other shows (Lost, Heroes, Prison Break) that I could just as easily download. Everything else is DVD for me.

All I have to say is that whenever this war is won - the fucking price of the media had better come down to reasonable levels. I'm on board in theory, but I've since decided that there's no way I'm going to pay $39 for a single movie.

That theory is one of the reasons I never use the WiiConnect24 thing. There's no real need for it anyway as I have a television for news and weather updates... and if there's a system update, well I'll just download that at my own pace.

Have you got a handle on the bike yet? Sometimes I can "brake" and do this crazy 360 cornering thing.. but sometimes not. I can't figure out what I'm doing different because I'm always using the nitros, plus gas, and then hit the brake/reverse plus a direction. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Wierd! I just hit #4 last night. Gotta say I love the Tsubaki MKII, and I can't wait for the next version.

Ahhh, nice! Also - I love that warp thing too. I'm glad there's no penalization for dying in the main world, like in GTA where you'd lose your weapons and shit. I just got ranked #5, and I definitely would like to see a sequel to this. I'd actually like to see Suda do a full on wrestling game. Apparently he worked on a Firepro game way back when, which is why you see a lot of references to "Thunder Ryu", "Mask De Panther", two character names from the series. And GONGS on one guys shirt is the Firepro name for fighting network RINGS. Good shit!

Hm, I keep getting this wierd death blow sequence.. it doesn't give me an arrow.. and it's not a dark side mode thing.. but every once in a while I'll end up dealing a death blow w/o the arrow motion except there'll be a ton of wierd little white triangles gathering around the enemy as I strike them. Have you gotten this? I can't find a reference to it anywhere online or in the manual. EDIT: I think I figured it out. It may be because of the Tsubaki beam katana I just picked up...

People over at the FPC board are convinced that this Curry Man wasn't Daniels based on the really fake looking hair that was hanging out of the back of his mask. Nevermind that the facial features you could see looked EXACTLY like Daniels. *sigh*

Well, I lucked out and found a copy at a local shop here. Turns out they ordered a shipment from the States. Anyway, LOVE IT! I've only done the first mission so far, but I love the presentation.. the 8-bit throwbacks in the menus.. the wrestling moves.. the anime references.. playing with your cat.. the fact that Travis has what looks like a Revenge of the Sith poster in his bedroom. Fucking awesome. Agree about the free-roam city being the weakest part, but that's no big loss as the meat of the enjoyment for me is in the assassinations.

Anyone up north have this yet? I fucking can't find it anywhere in person or online.

No doubt. I'd like to see him run through some territories in Japan first though. Maybe All Japan as I think a match with RVD vs Nakajima would just kick all kinds of ass.
