Now this is not all bad in fact a lot is good. Metroid Prime has been delayed till March and some of you may ask why and Belldandy will be screaming like a little boy who just got an action man for christmas. Well it is simple common sense, if the game can't be out in time for christmas then the next market to aim for is the Easter Market the second largest one and so it has been delayed a month. What is cool though is that we will get our first online game early next year! So much for not getting online till 2010 ah CUBE magazine? Sadly Wario's World has been delayed but good thing cause we know nothing about it. Nice to see three massive titles release in that time including the overally big Zelda. Q2 does look good and a squaresoft game released in the same year in europe as the japan release? Kidding right?

As for NOM? I think Nintendo own them! As for Mario Sunshine? i agree with that mark all the way.

Yeah I see your point, but at the end of the day I decide how I like a game by how much enjoyment I got out of it, not perhaps its innovation, where as reviwers analyse all its points like sound and playability. This is how I compare them; that I found Resident Evil more enjoyable than Mario Sunshine. But a direct comparison is wrong perhaps since they are completely differant.

Well I am not going to tell you it is attrocious its just basically an update Mario 64. Plus I hate having games that easily fustrate you, but thats only because I am impatient. I would personally give it around 85%, and as for replay value I have little incentive to get all the stars (er...sorry that should be Shines...) and I completed it in but a week of fairly casual playing. Over-gloryfied but a good game nontheless. I stongly suspect Nintendo offered a little bribe to NGC. And as for NOM...well I think we know that Nintendo hold them at gunpoint.

I don't like comparing games of different genres. One's a great survival horror game, ones a geat beat-em-up, and the others a great platformer. All are best of their catagory on the Cube at the moment. But 96%? I agree at the moment. But I haven't put the time into it yet. Just haven't the spare time at the moment to play it much.

I don't like comparing games of different genres. One's a great survival horror game, ones a geat beat-em-up, and the others a great platformer.

The Legend of Zelda is going to be class. I was put off the game because of the new graphics but know I just want to play on the game.

over.
Demo's are slowly being introduced and Mario is far better than Resi and Smash Brothers... it is still my favourite Cube game until Metroid or Zelda come along at least and Resident Evil is fourth on my list and Smash Brothers sixth.

Actually it isn't that market... during the summer people are supposed to be outside, over easter when people are indoors and gifts are being bought that is the second largest market no where near as large as christmas but the second largest.
And frankly I don't care about Metroid being delayed there are loads of games that will keep me playing till christmas that i'm playing or will get about now and i'd hate to get games i never finish.
Finally this Christmas all the major games will have been released by now, PS2's GTA Vice City, smackdown, Nintendo's Starfox, Mario Party and Eternal Darkness and Microsoft's BLINX. They are all out and ready to buy, they are all released mid june with few actually coming out in December so this is our rush and the mass flood of EA games are heading our way.

So no real substance for Christmas and its behemoth market then?
Ah well thats Nintendo pretty much screwed. Ok, maybe not that bad but this IS a mockery. You can tell me that it takes time for Nintendo to produce games until the sun goes down its still a complete blunder on behalf of Nintendos European marketing stratergy (if they even have one).
And by the way I got Mario Sunshine because NGC gave it 96%. THAT WILL TEACH ME TO READ THE REVIEW AND TAKE IT FOR FACE VALUE. LOL! How is Mario better than Resi Evil or Smash Bros. That will truly learn me.
And no demo discs...stingy Nintendo. I tell you I like Nintendos games and innovations but I am begining to dislike them.
Nintendo rant over.
