You forget something SJK? http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iup357158jp4.jpg Here are some decent scans...but with kanji crap on it.

Too late. The only thing of quality they still produce is the Virtua Fighter series. And re-releases/compilations of games made when they were still good.

I think he was being sarcastic.

That rumor is months old, but a few game rags with no credibility are claiming exclusives on the news/announcement. But who can really get excited over a Sega-developed--especially a Sonic Team--game these days, anyway? One of the news items that has arisen over it is Yuji Naka saying that "if it's being made, I'm not involved in it." Considering he's not a part of Sonic Team at all and is forming his own offshoot company, well, *of course*.

C) A lot of systems were headed to Ebay so no one was buying games. D) There weren't any games really worth a damn except for Resistance, while the Britain launch recieved a more rebust lineup. While you make a good point about the "region free" aspect....it doesn't really make much sense, still. First, imagine you're a Brit with the money to spend on a PS3 and that you care about region free gaming. Let's see....you could import a region-free PS3 from the United States or Japan, where they have plenty. Heck, importing a US one would give you access to PS2 games you couldn't play on your Europe PS2 anyway. Total cost is going to be about 300 GBP + applicable taxes and shipping. Or, even *less* if you settle for the 20 GB model. Or you could wait...and wait...and wait...and buy a Europe PS3 for 425 GBP, which pretty much plays no PS2 games on it at all. Oh Great Britain, you're finally becoming crafty consumers!

Yeah, the comics were all black and white, so you had to tell them apart by their weapons.

This is different, though. This is CELL!~ CELL!~ is too grand and glorious for the xbox 360 to replicate. Just like how only CELL!~ can handle Kingdom Hearts 3.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/ps3-launch/ps3-ga...arts-247279.php The UK appears to be officially Sonyland.

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/26/namco-ba...-be-guinea-pig/ Tekken 6's arcade hardware will be Cell-based. So we can logically expect an (arcade perfect?) PS3 port of the game. This seems to cast a lot of doubt if there will ever be a 360 version, though.

A British pound is about 2 US dollars (1.96 USD if you want to be anal about it). So if you think 599 USD sounds bad, imagine a PS3 for nearly $850. Granted, the wii's still about $360. The XB360 premium costs 280 GBP ($560ish) and the core costs 190 GBP ($380ish). If you're wondering what the 20GB PS3's price is...well, there is none.

The Turtles arcade game was broken in that same regard too. There's Don and then there's everyone else. I think almost *need* Don to beat a certain boss, in fact. Consider me not a fan of TMNT1 NES either. It's bad enough that everyone else is so second tier to Don. But aside from that, if he dies you're in a bad spot. Of course, nearly any game that operates the same way (you get a squad of guys with one life or so, and some of the team obviously flat out sucks) isn't my bag either. Xmen Genesis (the original), Contra Force, and the like, for instance.

Try saying that to a UKer's face, and you'll probably get punched in it. As noted in the article, yeah it's a success in the UK. I guess that the "rest" of Europe is just a bunch of cheap people just like us yanks.

It's a shame that Master of Disguise turned out to be, sadly, not awesome at all. Ah well. I actually own Virtual Boy Wario Land. I don't own a Virtual Boy, though, so I've never played it. It's just that I'm hanging on to it for ChrisMWaters. He's determined to play the game but couldn't find it, but I was able to snap it up at a pawnshop. Now I'm waiting for his deadbeat BUTT to get the system to play it on so he'll take it off my hands.

I've used it on 3, it crashed on all, and a few friends are having similar issues (both macs and pcs). I've stuck with it and accepted the updates since it switched over to 2--still isn't reliable for me.

http://www.joystiq.com/media/2007/03/targetdssale.jpg It appears that all DS games that are $29.99 and up are only $24 this week. "All" isn't specified, but when I went this morning FF3 and Super Princess Peach were all sold out.

Concerning Alex Kidd -- I've only really played Enchanted Castle. And I felt...pretty much nothing. The game just feels really, really old and uninteresting. Way more than even some mediocre NES games. It has decent visuals for the time, I suppose, but the levels seem kind of dull and the controls kind of suck, IMO. I just didn't really find any reason to continue playing it much. It's just kind of there. Does the level design / play mechanics take a sharp upswing later in the game? I *hate* the rock-paper-scissors crap, too.

I had heard it was opening April 6th. Ah well, no biggie. Is it going to be getting a wide release or no?

I don't know of any sites showing numbers yet on it. I'd assume the decision to go with a sequel or not probably has been made, but the box office will probably determine whether or not it goes to theaters.

Surely they should be able to resolve the supply issue soon. 360s were beginning to be readily available by this point, after all. Although nearly every single time I visit a Gamestop, typically at least one person comes up to the counter and asks for a Wii, is turned down, and given a vague estimate of when new ones will be in.

Why does it crash on Macs too? Idiot. How many times has it crashed on you as opposed to 1? Firefox 2 locks up when I have one or two windows open, no tabs open, and I'm just clicking it a link. It blows. The only problems I noticed with the original Firefox is that you open a lot of windows, sometimes a minimized window will apparently vanish--and you won't be able to see it again unless you close most of the other windows first. That isn't even really an issue if you use the tabs, though. And yeah, the Session Restore is nice, but it's a fix for a problem that nobody really had on Firefox 1 anyway.

VF2 Genesis is better than Tekken Advance. I think Wonder Boy 4 is the one everyone loves. I'll be glad to defer to anyone a bit more learned on the subject.

I rented TMNT for PS2, mainly because Ubi Montreal worked on it. It's...interesting. It's definitely rushed and unpolished, I'd say. It's strictly an A-to-B platformer with occasional fight scenes and collecting coins here and there. The fight engine is sadly primitive. The platforming can be pretty fun--Prince of Persia like wallrunning and pole-swinging for instance, but the level designs are pretty weak. The perspective is problematic, too. The view is zoomed WAAAAY out for most of the non-fighting scenes, which is fine near the beginning of the game, but frustrating when you're jumping from rooftop to rooftop at night in NY, trying to measure your jumps and determine what areas you can jump to and what you can't. The game is really short, too. I'd say it's a good rental, but not a keeper. On the other hand, the game on GBA is a well-done beat 'em up: http://www.gamespot.com/gba/action/tmntthemovie/review.html I might have to pick it up sometime soon and give it a shot.

Until I heard Sarah's voice come out of her mouth, I didn't know April was April.
