:rock::rock::rock::rock:
We aren’t even really pushing that title and to be honest it doesn’t need to be lol. Think is though I don’t think that a lot of people know this game exists and it has the chance to sell ridiculously. I hope it doesn’t suck though…this would be a nice way to keep MJ alive.
I haven’t play Other M yet so I don’t know for sure, but one part of that review of Samus as a character scared the fuck outta me.
She said that Samus had a maternal attachment to the baby Metroid and she didn’t like it. I’m like, “No shit Sherlock, she did in Super Metroid.” But then she says Samus has a breakdown about the loss of the baby and loses all track of time for x number of weeks?! That’s seriously some Twilight shit. No really, that actually fucking happens in Twilight. Hell no. HELL NO.
Hopefully one of you guys will tell me that’s wrong, because if so then they really did make Samus completely bitch-made.
She’s blowing it out of proportion lol. Like you said she was slightly attached to the baby metroid (seriously…the thing saved her) and she’s basically reflecting back on it. This is just in the beginning cutscene mind you. I never got the fact that she’s making Samus out to be ‘traumatized’ by the experience because I certainly didn’t get that…she was saddened yes but she eventually moved on. Time passed and she probably didn’t have shit to do besides checking spots here and there since she blew up Zebes until she got the distress call. I guess people are going to see things that they want to see…the same way how some cried foul when Samus ‘cried’ when Ridley showed up but when I got to the scene I saw the kid that showed up in the cutscene crying is supposed to be representing both the history she’s had with Ridley and the fact that she’s thinking back to when Ridley killed her parents as a child. Seriously though…considering the fact that she thought she had basically blew up Zebes along with all the Space Pirates on it and suddenly ‘Ridley’ showing up I’m sure isn’t something Samus was expecting that day.
Even though the Metroid fanbase is arguing amongst themselves and women seem to be crying foul over this game…I find it funny that it’s nowhere near the amount of hatred giving to the DMC Reboot lol.

I kind of want to rub in the thing about Terra in Dissidia, but I too lament Samus’s conversion into ideal Japanese everychick.
Dr. B respects women both in and out of their moments of plot-manipulation-demanded vulnerability.
lol I was wondering when ZP was going to review this game. I don’t get why he states that her suit keeps falling off because IIRC you only see her in her Zero Suit a total of 3 times during the course of the story…that is unless he died a lot. In either case the review made me laugh.
I got into a disagreement with a customer about how Samus should act…and he fully expects her to be ‘100% badass with no emotion’. I still say I never got that from her character especially since she’s shown that she isn’t that way since she didn’t outright kill the Metroid that hatched out of the egg at the end of Metroid 2 and she showed remorse for having [media=youtube]ielEYoG-X5Y#t=5m4s"]to fight the other [so I don’t know where this notion of her being a ‘shoot first and don’t bother to ask a question because you could give a shit’ type of person came from but whatever…maybe I’m the one missing something here?

Edit2:
oh yeah…if you reserve DKCR at GS you get a banana pouch for your Wiimote. yay? I don’t really see the point in this unless you want to provide double protection for your wii mote…
Don’t you fucking do it. I will find you if you do. 
Seriously, she was always like that. Samus on the other hand…Team NINJA took some liberties to be sure.
Japan Numbers for last week:
IGN Advertisement
GOOOD GRAVY…Pokemon Black & White straight steam rolled everything in the charts at least 5 times over. It outsold the 2nd place (Front Mission Evolved, PS3) 50 to 1. I remember reading earlier in the week that it Shin Sho’d Diamond and Pearl’s numbers.. Halo Reach sold pretty well over there making it to 4th place with Wii Party right behind it. There’s a One Piece game taking over the 7th spot for the DS and SMG2 is just hanging on at the end of the list.
Of course with the release of Pokemon the DS systems saw a boost…even with the ridiculous amounts of saturation this system has already reached. Hardware went DSi, DSi XL, PSP, PS3, Wii, Lite, 360, PS2, and Go. Wii numbers have definitely been taking a steady dip…no telling if that will change or not as we get closer to the christmas season.
NBA Jam Is In the House

Yeah…it’s in the house but it’s definitely not online. -_- So yeah this is definitely a pick your poison type deal completely now. You get the 100% Standard definition version without online that you pay $50 for or you get the gimped version in High Definition with online but to get to it you have to buy a $60 game that you probably don’t really want. I’m still gonna pick up the Wii version the panda is quite sad about no online.

heh…Red Steel 2 music…
So has anyone heard about the new JRPG by Mistwalker that is coming out? I’m really interested in it.
Mistwalker made Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon (both for 360) and both of them were amazing titles. So my interest is very high.
Last Story? Been keeping tabs on it whenever it is that they do decide to put up information on it. There was at one point a nice trickle of information every so often but it seems it’s come to a stop. The Japanese website has an iwata asks interviewup on it but it’s all in japanese… There hasn’t been any word on when it will get released over her but I"m assuming that it’ll be sometime after Xenoblade does.
Looks like something is coming out of that ‘new wiimote’ rumor from earlier and is it turns it apparently GS goofed up this time with the leak. Looks like it’s going to come bundled with Fling Smash and it’s just basically a Wii mote and Wii motion combined together. So I’m wondering if this Wiimote is going to be the new standard now and they’ll try to faze out the regular wii motes? Considering the fact that Wii mote and wii motion plus bundled together plus a nunchuk costs about $85 (no tax) currently (I’ve heard that you can get the Wiimote and wiimotion plus bundles cheaper from different retailers though) and then comparing that to Move controller and nav at about $80 (no tax and i’m not counting the IR sensor or camera), I’m hoping Nintendo wants to be cool and cut a bit of slack on the price…especially if it wants to still look competitive but that’s just wishful thinking.

oh yeah…almost forgot. Gunblade NY & LA Machine Guns Arcade Hits packcame out and it’s going for 29.99 right now. Don’t know if any of you guys were fans of these games in the arcade but if you do decide to scoop a copy tell us your thoughts. So far reviewers haven’t been too kind to itbut I’m sure if you’ve played these games before then you know what to expect from it.

well…sort of anyway. If you do run into that issue you can send them your file on an SD card for free and they’ll fix it. They also tell how not to make the bug. It’s a pity you can’t patch this Nintendo…hint hint nudge nudge
Activision and EA are talking some mad shit to each other. Kotick started it though.
Also since NBA Elite got delayed and the fact that NBA Jam is coming out later this year on the other systems I have the strangest feeling that they’ll probably release the full NBA Jam on the other systems so I’m gonna move it out of the exclusivity list lol. I’m not sure how I feel about EA’s handling on this towards Wii consumers. If they release it as a downloadable title then it’s definitely going to be cheaper then paying $50 so I’m curious as to what exactly are they going to do are they just gonna say ‘fuck it’? Then there’s the people who actually reserved Elite to get NBA Jam…lol.
Edit:
and again…i’m forgetting stuff. A Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles magnum bundle showed up in our books. I’m not entirely sure what it is but if I find out I’ll let you guys know of course.
Gunblade is the mutt’s nuts.
As usual reviewers are going to slam Samurai Warriors 3. It’s pretty much expected at this point but if one of you guys happens to buy this game (for whatever reason you do buy it over Sengoku Basara) then let us know if it’s any good. IGN already gave the game a 3.0 but basically if you don’t know what you’re getting into when buying a Warriors game by now then you’ve been under a rock.
…someone actually madeA Wiimote Vibrator. I’m really not sure what to say about this…but I’m sure there’s plenty of jokes in there.
This Samus’ Gunship statue is actually kinda sexy. actually reads the price of it JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

Last Story Hits Japan in 2011

nope…still no word on us but I’m a bit surprised that this game is coming out that soon over there since if I recall they only announced it like the beginning of this year. Then I suddenly remember that we’re dealing with Nintendo and not just Mistwalker…meaning this game could have been in production for 2 years probably before they announced it and nobody would have known.
Wii Remote Plus is Real:

Maybe they’ll also start just releasing Wii’s with this instead.

Nintendo also had a reel for Wiiat it’s press conference…some of these titles I’m wondering what they are. One of them looks like Wario Ware and there’s some more footage of Last Story in there. Was that also another Fatal Frame?
Yyyup…another Fatal Frame game. Don’t even bother getting any types of excited over it because it probably won’t even make it over here. LAAAAAAME.

Julian Widdows, an executive producer at Activision, said Wednesday in a conference call that pointer controls are his preferred method of playing GoldenEye 007 on Wii. In fact, he believes the game ups the ante for Wii Remote controls on Nintendo?s home console.
Widdows said that Activision and developer Eurocom worked ?really closely with Nintendo? to make the controls as good as possible. And this partnership included ?working really close with the Mario Club in Europe? to optimize Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls, he said.
GoldenEye 007 also offers players a plethora of customization options, according to Activision. In the game, you can adjust:
Dead Zone
Max Turn Speed
Horizontal Turn Speed
Vertical Turn Speed
Cursor Sensitivity
Auto Re-center
Turn While Off-screen
Aim Assist
But what about players who choose the Classic Controller Pro, especially online, to play GoldenEye? When questioned about multiplayer balance issues with various control schemes, Widdows said, ?We [Activision and Eurocom] did not find it a problem with people playing with the Classic Controller Pro [in online testing].?
Activision Explains Lack of Co-op in GoldenEye 007
Activision and Eurocom hope GoldenEye 007 becomes the ultimate Wii multiplayer game. The title features a robust 4-player split-screen mode, as well as 8-player matches online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. But missing from the gamut of options is a co-op mode for friends to play together.
Widdows addressed the exclusion of co-op from GoldenEye 007. He said, ?The fiction would be stretched for the single-player campaign.? He wondered aloud whom the second player would control and believed co-op just did not make sense.
When asked about a co-op mode similar to Horde (from Gears of War fame) or Firefight (from Halo fame), Widdows said those two features still did not fit into the Bond mold. Basically, Widdows felt that co-op was not a ?problem that needed to be solved [for GoldenEye 007].?
GoldenEye 007 hits store shelves Nov. 2 as a standard package at a MSRP of $49.99 or as a Gold Controller Bundle at a MSRP of $69.99.
