@Keanu: Yep.. this year is being pretty "meh" for the DS.. last year was a lot better

Dragon Quest IV, V & V , Final Fantasy IV, Tactics, Infinite Line, ASH.. a lot of good RPGs coming to the DS!

@marleycat: Remember when Sony was dominating the market and everyone was ranting about them?

There you go..

@KafkaTamura: My grandpa plays Solitaire for at least 5 hours a day.. is he hardcore then?

So.. I'm guessing that all the commenters at Kotaku have never touched a Wii cause they're too hardcore.. hence, they're ranting about something that they never tried :P

The game should have a warning about girls above 15 playing it..

"We can't port content down to the Wii, we need to start building for the Wii from the ground up, that's what we are doing this year."
They took 2 years to learn that!? ¬¬'

Why don't do to Madden something like Konami did with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008? American football is more tactical than soccer, and games about it are not as fast paced, would work even better than with PES.

Also.. "Electronic Arts' ability to build simulation and authenticity into their sports titles isn't just their greatest strength" I lol'd.

I'm "disappointed" by the Associated Press.

Anyway, those are the launch titles, the good stuff is still to come: Strong Bad game, Dr Mario, Animales de la Muerte, etc..

@BPMη: indeed.. the competition with the Playstation 1 & 2 was almost none.. this generation is much more balanced..

CockroachMan commented on Shane Kim Resets Console War Winner To 100 Million

Tue, 20 May 2008 21:13:36 MDT

If Nintendo don't launch a new console before.. Wii will be the first to get to 100 million..

Considering the current worldwide sales, the PS3 will reach 100 million before the 360..

CockroachMan commented on Pachter: Console Price Drops This Holiday

Tue, 20 May 2008 14:10:16 MDT

I think the PS3 will last more than that.. maybe really 10 years. The new Xbox might come out a little sooner.

2011 would be a good year for a new Nintendo console though

CockroachMan commented on Rare Mated Viva Pinata DS And 360

Tue, 20 May 2008 10:58:26 MDT

@mphz: Both have WiFi, both can communicate if you program it.. there are a lot of homebrew aps for the DS to communicate with PCs and other stuff..

Nothing extraordinary really..

CockroachMan commented on Rare Mated Viva Pinata DS And 360

Tue, 20 May 2008 10:53:52 MDT

@Burzmali: Dunno.. this could make 360 owners buy DSs.. and DS owners buy 360s.. no one would be losing here..

Would be very weird though..

"OMG NINTENDO IS KILLING GAMES!"

Grow up people! "Hardcore" games won't die because of that.. there will be always public for all kinds of games. Also, we all know that both Sony and Microsoft would do anything to be in the spot that Nintendo is right now.. every DS casual crap has a PSP clone..

CockroachMan commented on WiiWare Launches In Europe/Australia, Gets Demos With A Catch

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:45:59 MDT

This Dr.Mario idea would work better if it was not marketed as a demo, but something like "I bought the game, liked it and want to play with some friends, so I send it to my friend to see if he likes it too!".. that was probably what Nintendo was thinking..

Anyway, I'm glad to see they're considering the idea of using demos.. And what are you people complaining about? It's a 10 bucks game! Why do you want a demo for that?

Fahey's "reviews" are the best.. keep making them! :D

Now, how a society made of dogs with big heads was able to make all those houses, streets and pirate ships!?

CockroachMan commented on The Weekly WiiWare VC Update

Mon, 19 May 2008 09:57:41 MDT

So, they'll update WiiWare with 2 games per week like the VC? That would be great..

Dr. Mario should come next week to the US.

Got really disappointed when I found out that Star Soldier R was played on 2 and 5 minutes mode.. :/

Was hopping for a full Star Soldier game -_-

Well.. there are rumors that the next Animal Crossing will be a MMO.. we have to wait :P

I'm getting the Penny Arcade game! Maybe not this week.. but I'm getting it!

"I still hear old people still say "Sega" when they mean "any console you plug into a TV."

I've heard for that "Nintendo" and "Playstation".. but never SEGA..

CockroachMan commented on The Conduit: About Damn Time

Finally.. the Wii needs some FPS games.. the controls are perfect for that.

CockroachMan commented on What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Fri, 16 May 2008 15:05:46 MDT

Mario Kart, Okami, No More Heroes.. and some Team Fortress 2 ;)

The game is looking prettier than the original DC version..

Nice work SEGA

I like how Microsoft uses only US numbers on their speeches :P

So.. Sony will be Coors?

CockroachMan commented on GTA IV Whacks The April Competition, Mario Kart Grabs Second

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:35:24 MDT

I actually wasn't expecting that much for Mario Kart.. considering it was released in the same week as GTAIV..

What really impress me is the number of PS2s being sold :P

CockroachMan commented on Hands on With Silent Hill: Homecoming

Thu, 15 May 2008 14:19:34 MDT

@Duphman2: indeed.. not a big improvement from PS2 graphics..

Interesting how after 10 years, they're still using the same texture for all the monsters :P

CockroachMan commented on Mario Kart Wii Has A Golden Week

Gooo Mario Kart!

Nothing like playing some Mario Kart with friends.. sharing a cold bottle of Coors Light! ;)

CockroachMan commented on Konami Announces "Rock Revolution"

Thu, 15 May 2008 13:38:16 MDT

Isn't Guitar Freaks from Konami!? So haven't they invented the whole thing?

Well, I find it cool to see a rhythm game centered on drums..

CockroachMan commented on Madworld: A Fun Romp Through Dismemberment

@Acid Raven: That reminds me of the Matrix game.. by the time it was out, everyone had already used the bullet time thing.. and it felt old.

CockroachMan commented on Black, White and Blood To Bring Hardcore Back to Nintendo

@nastysquared: Yep, I'm playing No More Heroes right now and loving it.. but indeed, the game has some ugly technical flaws and the graphics could've been a lot better..

Using stylish graphics on the Wii to compensate it's lack of power is a wise decision, but it have to be used carefully. Since this is being made by ex-Clover guys, I think they'll be able to pull it better than NMH did :)

CockroachMan commented on There Is A Beyond Good & Evil 2 (Sort Of)

Thu, 15 May 2008 07:42:33 MDT

I remember some rumors about a sequel being made for the Wii.. hope that's it..

The first game was good, got a lot less attention than it deserved :/

CockroachMan commented on Nintendo Says There Is No Casual Gaming

Thu, 15 May 2008 07:10:21 MDT

@kwant: So.. you can't research about Peggle!? And you can't casually notice Metal Gear and Resident Evil at Best Buy?

CockroachMan commented on Nintendo Says There Is No Casual Gaming

Thu, 15 May 2008 07:03:38 MDT

I don't like the words "casual" and "hardcore" either.. some games get discriminated for being labeled "casual" and are good..

There are just people who like different types of games. I know people who enjoy stuff like Peggle and Brain Age, and at the same time play Final Fantasy and GTA at a regular basis..
