Please refrain from personal attacks.

First, DQ4 was for the NES. FF4 was for the SNES. I don't see how you can claim FF4 had 1.5 more years of dev time...Not that dev time is all that relevant a defense here.

Second, 1.5 years is hardly a long period of time in the grand scheme of gaming and game design.

If you had cried foul on comparing an NES game to an SNES game you might have had a point...except we are talking about two DS remakes released months from each other...by the same publisher. Not the originals.

Nothing personal in the comment at all, and it was hardly an attack.  Just simple facts.

Now as for what you have said:

You obviously did not read what I quoted or what he actually said.  He was talking about the original releases, NOT the DS remakes.  He was also talking about the gameplay of the games, which did not really change in EITHER remake.  I also never said that one had 1.5 more years of dev time.  You really need to read something before you comment on it.  I said that FFIV was RELEASED 1.5 years later than DQIV.  That means that its development started well after DQIV.  That also means that it's gameplay was based on significant advances in overall game design during that time period.  And if you honestly believe that 1.5 years is "hardly a long period of time in the grand scheme of gaming and game design," then you really don't know much about video games or software development.  That amount of time is absolutely HUGE.

Also, thanks for saying at the end there that I have a point.  Since we were not talking about two remakes, and were, in fact, talking about the comparison between an NES game and an SNES game, I'm glad you're willing to admit that I was completely right.

Both were originally released around the same time

Sorry, but no.  DQIV was released in early 1990.  FFIV was released in mid to late 1991.  A year and a half is a HUGE difference in development time.  And this is a fact that is VERY easily checked out, ever since this new, fancy thing called the internet has taken off.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Official "Virtual Console Mondays" Thread

So, has NWR given up on their weekly VC updates?  It seems like this site is becoming less and less useful with each passing week.  90% of the articles here were already just press releases and screenshots that you can find on any video game site.  With the mailbag becoming a non-entity as well, the only original content on te site is the occasional review, and I'd rather go to gamerankings if I don't actually know if I want to get a full-priced game, since I can get a better average from more people.

Yep, gimme Majora's Mask and LttP, the two I'm missing (and maybe Link's Awakening, my cart broke shortly after I finished it for the first time).



Dude A Link to the Past has been on the VC for over a month already.  Where were you?

Okay, just read that article from this site.  Now I find everyone's response even more ridiculous.  One newspaper quoting another newspaper???  And you can't find the original source anywhere???  How can you honestly even BEGIN to consider that a reliable source?

Seriously, you people put way too much faith in newspaper articles put up on websites.  Even if they publish it in paper format, newspapers are hardly the accurate fact-gatherers that they used to be.

Remember, NOA themselves haven't announced anything yet.

it would make sense if you compare both prices directly.


Um, the $250 number was never an actual price.  What was said is that it would be no more than $250.  $212 < $250, so this means absolutely nothing to the US launch, regardless of what it comes packed with (which will probably be no different than what's packed with the Japanese system).  Where did you people get the idea that $250 was the reported price?  Certainly not here or any other video game site that I've seen.  They all reported accurately what I just stated above.


LOL

The same sites you go to, only we visited them today. You must not have.


Reporting on speculation articles from two newspapers that rarely have anything to do with video games at all, including one that is rarely accurate in it's speculations, is hardly worth even actually mentioning.  The NYT is hardly reputable for even mainstream information, why would their video game information be any more reliable?

And let me be the first to say: they lied about the release date. Plain and simple.

We should've known they'd screw up eventually. Hopefully it's not too big of a one.


How can the release date be a lie when they never confirmed a release date to begin with?  Plus, this is the Japanese release date, not the NA release date, so anything that HAS been said about the NA release can't be proven true or false with this information at all.  All you're doing here is speculating with absolutely no reliable basis in fact to back you up.

Re: your comments about the Buffalo USB adapter and the Nintendo adapter

The Buffalo adapter that you mention in the mailbag is absolutely NOTHING like the Nintendo adapter.  All that is is a USB wireless network adapter.  It might look like the Nintendo adapter (haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure), but it also looks like my USB flash drive and half a dozen other USB devices nowadays.  You can't use that to connect your DS/Wii to the internet just like you can't use the Nintendo adapter to give your PC access to your existing wireless network.

If you looked at the picture on the page that you linked to, you can clearly see a wireless router and the Buffalo adapter communicating with each other.  Seems pretty obvious to me, even if you don't read the description of the item.
