"New NGC ..."

Supposed to come yesterday, but came today - anyone else get the same? You usually get it at least 2 or 3 days early with subs anyway.
But that's all by the by.

Anywho:
Curiously little "omg!11wtf!1"-age on the DS, and they haven't even mentioned the thumb-strap, still talking about Mario and Metroid with the stylus.

Ah well - they're only critisism of both games was with the controls I suppose when someone takes another look in the DS box they might stumble across the solution.

Goldeneye gets what we all knew it would - 66%
Echoes gets 94% (Prime got 97% if you're interested)
Minish Cap - 91%
Wario Ware titly thinger 92% (yey)
Mario Tennis - 91%

Them's the good ones.

Nintendo religious Christmas p!ss-take thingy.
Shigsy's letter to Santa, which is quite hilarious.

Oh, and another DVD. Which was nice.
NGC TV indeedy. Although, annoyingly, most of the Echoes footage is too dark to see properly - I hope it isn't so bad in the actual game.

Listing 5 real and important differences between one game and the next in a series is near enough impossible in every case.

Didn't say there were major differences.


You have linear levels, you have interactivity, you have a storyline, you have no traditional Mario Iconography, you have a new jet pack that alters how Mario jumps...

They're all differences. The game still plays very similar but there are differences. And in my eyes the game was so immensley fun it deserves a 92% score, I loved every minute of it, played it to death, every little mission, every frustrating section, every boss.... EVERYTHING the game had me addicted and it was just so much fun.

But hey if it aint your opinion it's wrong (aware of the irony).

No I actually play games then talk about them, instead of playing them and posting bol1ocks.

Did you leave your console on overnight?

To be fair I've played Zelda almost 20 hours more than Metroid.

Think it was 11%.

Bloody hell, what's been going on here.

Nintendo fans giving Zelda less than 10?

I must say, I've got to agree, I think an 8 is an apt enough score for the game, as there can be some irritating flaws.

In the meantime, why is there so many crap Nintendo magazines out?

Agreed.

Zelda - 8
Mario - 8
Metroid - 7

I gave Wind Waker 7.5 and Prime 10.

Also SOAL got 10 but it's a DC game really.
