[JerrodDRagon]

We'll Im happy now Donkey Kong Country finally came out in the US

[Saiya-Jin]

Wow, the US finally got DK Country!! Personally I think DK Country is my favourite Virtual Console game I have downloaded so far. It may be over 10 years old but it still looks gorgeous. Im just waiting for Link to the Past to come on the UK Shop Channel! haha

^The DS is the head Handheld just like how the wii destoys Sony in the next Gen wars.
Also in the last Shonen Jump there may be a new Naruto game heading to the Wii this Fall with one new character that will be voted on by you (im sure there also be a few other new characters)

Nintendo will always lead the handheld market. Not a big surprise.

[SpanktheMonkey]

There was a time when Nintendo probably thought the same thing about the home Console market. Looks like it took them about 8 years to recover from that missconception.

^Depends of what types of games you like, The gamecube failed but I played my 64 for hours. I played Mario Kart for over 100 hours alone, plus 007 for hours on end, I played Conkers Multilayer for hours with my friends. For Me the 64 was way better than the PS1 because it offered a much better Multilayer.

The problem with Nintendo is that they fail in advertising and third party back up. This is the sole reason why the Gamecube failed because Nintendo made little to no effort in showing off the Gamecube or enlisting help from any third parties.
And now with the Wii, it may be the same problem again. This time though, they have advertisements ready as you see them quite often and posters here and there but the third party is still lacking. We have what:
Ubisoft who are constantly porting games over which are many months old with gimmicky controls and already gave the Wii the worst FPS seen in recent years (Far Cry Vengence).
EA have dished out a few titles and few of them are decent. And they do seem to have the control system down to a tee and are releasing that SSX Blur soon in March. There on the ball.
But then that's it. We have 2 Sega games, Sonic and Monkey Ball and Monkey Ball imo failed terribly. Konami released Eledees (Elebits in America) and have said they won't make another Wii game until MGS 4 on the PS3 is completely out the way and then we have random developers here and there. Square Enix are releasing one game, that Dragon Quest Swords, which is just a flashy version of those old plug and play Dragon Quest Sword TV games released in Japan a few years back and then we have word on a Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers but that has seem to disappeared. Other games that we have caught name of like Disaster: Day of Crisis, they have just disappeared and nothing new has been heard of them.

Nintendo have a good batch of games coming out, but after they have all come and gone. There may be a problem.

^Sonic Failed? From most Reviews I've seen its a good (not great) game. Im getting the game for 30 bucks so I cant go wrong.
But Nintendo is doing better than Sony on releasing games I mean Lair is there only good exclusive coming out for the next couple of months.

Where did i ever say Sonic failed? I said Monkey Ball failed and thats from my opinion as i had it, then sold it pretty quickly. Sonic, yeah reviews have kept it pretty high but with it's lowest being 63% out of 100%.

[JerrodDRagon]

I got Sonic today, and its fun, very very Fun. After palying it I have to ask my self while other games cant be fun? Halo is a good game but is it fun??? Thsi game feels new and much better than the last couple of Sonic games.
The story is not great but the game it self makes up for that, I cant wait to pick up some Wii remotes so I can play the multilayer. Also I want to point out that many reviews say the multplyaer sucks when they need to understand thats like an extra feature to the game and for some reason they vote the game lower because of the Multi player, so what there saying is the game would be better with out the Free Multplayer feature? WTF, I hate Gamer Reviewers logic.

[JammyBleached]

Well you must be dumb if you can't understand a reviewers logic. Of course they are going to pick fault with the multiplayer if it's bad, because it's in the game. I mean come on, think about it for gods sake. If your going to add in a feature to any game, at least make it good/ worth using. I doubt Sega just went "Fuck it, let's just chuck in an "extra" feature to make it seem we did other stuff instead of the single player."
Any normal and bright game developer, if they were going to add an extra game mode, make it good and worth selecting. If not, it will be penalized. A Game Reviewers duty and job is to scan through the game and find all the points. If they didn't check up on everything, they wouldn't be doing their job. So in this case, game reviewers found Sega's attempt at a multiplayer to be pretty crap and made it clear about it. If Sega did not put in anything else in this latest Sonic outing, Reviewers would of said that the game needed more to it as it lacks anything else. Sega probably already saw this coming so they added a Multiplayer feature but failed at delivering the goods.

[Ivan]

I don't know where Jerrod has been staying at, but multiplayer features are pretty fucking huge in video games.

[JerrodDRagon]

^^So you 2 are saying the game would be better without the Multilayer???
