^ I really want to believe that, but where are you getting that information from?

Well, they're remaking TMNT: Turtles in Time for the XBLA; maybe they'll port it over?

[QUOTE="judog1"]I see you have a paronia about gba batteries dying...this is the 5th time I've seen you post about that :Phydralisk86

Gameboy Advance carts aren't the same as Gameboy Color carts: they don't use battery saves. They use a flash save format (the same as DS carts, I believe).

Any GBA cartridge you buy that has an actual battery it in is probably a repro/pirated copy.

And you seem to be under the impression that game batteries go dead in a year or two;they can go on for over twenty years.

Eh . . . I'd say that Moon was about as good as Metroid Prime Hunters, which is not to say I was blown away by either of them. MPH was a decent but disappointing entry into the otherwise fantastic "Prime" series, and Moon was a bit too "me too" and repetitive for my tastes. Oh, and the music was terrible.

Don't get me wrong, MPH looks and plays fantastic. But the level design wasn't terribly clever, the puzzles were lame and few-and-far-between, there were only two styles of bosses that they just used over and over again, and the standard enemies were boring and primitive looking.

I definitely enjoyed it as I was playing it, but when I finished I felt a bit unsatisfied. Then when I played Moon, all I could think was "think game is just like MPH."

They're both good games, but I wouldn't put either in my top 10 DS games list.

It's not like Donkey Kong Country was terribly original to begin with: it was a blatant rip-off of Mario World. Nintendo probably wants to focus on keeping each of their core franchises unique.

-SiiLeNCE-

Actually, there are a lot more similarities in gameplay than just "you jump on enemies heads in both games and fight bosses." It's practically the same game, in fact, just with different art design, looser, play control, and fewer secrets.

And I'm not surprised that Banjo-Kazooie used Mario 64's engine: that's another game that is often accused (rightfully) of being a blatant rip-off.

This is Rare's style, people: they are not terribly good at innovation, so they just take existing games and alter them slightly.

^ I agree with all of the above games, and I would like to contribute the original Gameboy version of Bionic Commando (not Elite Forces for the GBC).

Now you're set!

It sold terrible for a GTA game.

darth-pyschosis

no. GTA: CW sales first 30 days at retail 200k in North America

GTA on PSP sales first 30 days at retail 156k in North America

its already selling better than some other GTAs

Dude, where are you getting these numbers? It's pretty well-documented that CW sold terribly.

Eh . . . I'd say that Moon was about as good as Metroid Prime Hunters, which is not to say I was blown away by either of them. MPH was a decent but disappointing entry into the otherwise fantastic "Prime" series, and Moon was a bit too "me too" and repetitive for my tastes. Oh, and the music was terrible.

I personally think the music is pretty damn good.

I personally really enjoyed Phantom Hourglass, and I plan on playing through it again before too long to prepare for Spirit Tracks.

However, I was surprised to see Link's Awakening get so little love, since most of the people I talk to consider it one of the best Zelda games of all time. I kinda wish I'd voted for that instead of PH.
