TalkBack / RE:Datel Reveals MAX Media Player for DS

« on: February 13, 2006, 03:31:45 PM »

And let's not forget Lik-Sang's own GBA Movie Player. Minus the executable programs (but plus the limited Famicom/NES ROM capabilities), $25 is still a pretty good deal, even with shipping and handling charges. It's especially nice if you already have a Compact Flash card lying around.

I suppose we'll have to see just how much better the movie quality is on Datel's version (I'm assuming it's specifically designed to take advantage of the DS' superior processing power) before we judge though.

Well keep in mind guys, this wouldn't be the first time Metroid and pinball have joined forces.
...not that the first attempt was all that successful.

TalkBack / RE:Pokémon Colosseum Mega Pak for Europe

Indeed. Why didn't NOA create a deal like this? I mean come on, if they've already translated Pokémon Box, most people will need a new memory card to play Colosseum, plus that GBA link cable sure would be handy (even if there seems to be a  trend to have it packed in or given away with preorders for more and more games these days) for most who would be interested in the game, those who have a GBA and Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire. Seems like if Nintendo wants to use the popularity of Pokémon to sell more GameCubes, this would be the best way to do it. Oh well... I guess I can keep hoping that Pokémon Box will eventually be a giveaway at Nintendo.com or in some other way.

TalkBack / RE:GameSaves for GameCube

Now you're talking. There was this other product only available in Japan that let you transfer memory card files to your PC, but it's quite nice to see something available in the US now. Basically, any game that's customizable would benefit from this. Here's some more examples:
Animal Crossing: Got some extra room on your memory card, and don't know anyone else who plays the game in your area? No problem! Just find someone on the 'net who likes the game, get them to send you their town over e-mail, and go visit! You could have a whole community of people who visit each other's towns, trading neighbors and screwing up the landscape, just as long as people agreed to keep sending files back and forth. Also a good way to trade textures and, to a lesser extent, town songs.
Sports/Wrestling games: Any custom teams, custom players, etc., can now be shown to the world to be admired. I'd especially like to see people take advantage of this for Wrestlemania XIX (bad game, yes, but good customization features)
The Sims/Bustin' Out: Trade your Sims from across the country... on a console this time!
SSB:M: trade your pics, without the need for a fancy screen capture device!
But of course, TimeSplitters 2 really does lend itself to this feature (especially considering how large some maps can get)
So yeah, I'd say it's worth looking into.

TalkBack / RE:The Sims Bust Out on GameCube

Sometimes I have to ask myself: do third parties always mention the Nintendo GameCube version last in press releases about games for multiple consoles, or is it just that those instances stand out more in my mind?
...oh, and yay Sims! I'd complain about the amount of memory card pages it takes up, but that's just because I'm not a sports gamer.
