TalkBack / Re: Wii Motion Plus to Be Released Before June 16th?

« on: March 04, 2009, 11:49:29 AM »

I work for a gaming retailer and we have a date for the Conduit  as well in early June. If I am not mistaken, that too is utilizing Wii Motion Plus, so late May, early June seems like the appropriate time for it to hit retailers.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Midnight Release!

I work at Gamestop. I wish we were having a midnight release.

You're not having a midnight launch?  Did you have like 20 preorders or something?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Online is ....... CONFIRMED!?!?!?

« on: September 19, 2007, 02:39:16 PM »

Yeah, whenever my friends and I play Smash Bros Melee, we tend be silent except for the occasional curse word, when we get mad because someone is edge hogging, or spamming, or we killed ourselves stupidly ie Capt Falcon or Fox's over b off the edge.

TalkBack / RE:The NWR Mailbag Talkback Thread

« on: September 03, 2007, 05:19:08 PM »

I just wanted to point out a mistake in the newest mailbag, you said that you had to be 18 to get an M game and 21 to get an AO game.  It is in fact 17 for M-rated and 18 for AO.  I work for a certain video game retail chain and have that must be 17 to buy an M-Rated game rule shoved down my throat.

Nintendo Gaming / Samba De Amigo for the Wii?

« on: August 24, 2007, 06:48:28 AM »

I was browsing the coming soon list for the Wii at GameStop and apparently in February of next year, the same day as  Sonic Riders ZG, Samba De Amigo is coming out for the Wii. Its from GameStop so who knows the validity, but it will be interesting if it is true.

My friends and I play 3 stock no items, usually random stage, but we like choosing between Temple, Corneria, Pokemon Stadium, Fountain of Dreams, Final Destination or the Metroid one that doesn't have Kraid.

Pikachu's final smash or what I believe to be his final smash looks absolutely ridiculous I cannot wait to pwn people with it.  Fox's Up B looks like it does a lot more damage than the one from Melee.  Giga Bowser chasing Pikachu was priceless.

Oh and Pit looks sweet, I just wish they had given video of his special moves and not pictures.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Oh no, this can't be true...(about online play)

« on: December 14, 2006, 04:57:37 PM »

I think its pretty obvious why they would have Pokemon use a friends code.  Its for safety reasons, the demographic for the game is probably a lot younger than most of the people on this forum.  They don't want creepy 40 year olds playing with 8 year olds. I thought that would be pretty obvious.  Its more of a safety net for Nintendo.  Well thats how I look at it any way.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: What Virtual Console Game Will You Download on Launch Day ??

« on: November 16, 2006, 04:25:46 PM »

I want Final Fantasy III/VI whatever you want to call it.  I guess its VI now since the real III came out on the DS.  But out of the first batch?  Probably the original Super Mario Bros.  I haven't played that game in years.

Hmm, thats a good idea, I should bring it to my aunts for Turkey Day.  I dunno what the response would be...

I think Ice Cold's quotes might be Yogi-isms, which means Yogi Berra said them...

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Wii games in stock now!?

« on: November 14, 2006, 07:09:24 PM »

It depends on the game I think, we got two Trauma Centers, and both of those were preorders.  They were the only ones we got.  I think because we only have a "limited" amount of systems that we will be only getting the pre-orders for the games since those are all we can sell, since no one will have one at our store except for the people who pre-ordered them.  I could be wrong though.  I will tell you after tomorrow what we got for stock.

I work at EBGames, and I get to demo it for people.  Its awesome.  I teach people how to actually play.  Its awesome seeing everybody's face when they actually start playing,  there has been nothing negative said about the controls.  Only the supposedly subpar graphics.  I think it looks nice.  The only problem that i have seen is that the remote sensor gets blocked if someone walks in front of it.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:New Smash Brothers Trailer Incoming!

« on: November 03, 2006, 03:09:01 AM »

The only complaint I have is the quality of the actual video itself, it was nice to finally see, but I wish the quality had been as good as the first trailer.  I wonder if Nintendo will give them direct-feed of it.

I just played an hour and 45 minute starcraft game, hoping that when I was done the trailer would be out on the internet, but it is not and I am sad.  GIVE ME SATISFACTION NOW!
