I've honestly had no issues with the game as the slowdown doesn't seem to really dip until you do a super. Not even with being forced to use the D-pad has posed any issues to me, though it'd be nice to have Analog Slider support and sleep mode. I do wish they put more effort and made a dedicated version for the 3DS, though I can hardly say I'm not enjoying it, having clocked in some 40 hours to it and learning how to play well enough that even my performance on the console editions have increased. I think it's just IGN overreacting with the game.

Alrighty then... First time posting on the main boards in a long while, but I'm somewhat sick and tired of the same illogical argument you continue to make ClicketyClick. I'd like to point out three flaws I've currently read in your arguments.

1. You claim you'll end up paying $124.30 after everything, with Metroid Prime 3's current selling value to have $30 deducted from the overall price. The fact stands that with the bundle, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption still has value since you still own the title regardless that you now have Two copies of the game. To completely factor the title out is like leaving the Wii out of the Wii bundle deal you initially stated(which I will get to). In actuality, regardless of the value of Metroid Prime 3 that it sells for online, you have to factor the value of two of those titles since you are not being deprived of what you have purchased. So the new total to get both NPC Metroid 1 & 2 would have to be $64.30, factoring out for each title to be $32.15, cheaper than the previously stated. Certainly the second copy of Metroid Prime 3 you will have will be utterly useless, but that does not mean it doesn't exist when you buy the trilogy package.

2. Your Wii bundle conparison is very flawed. The Wii itself is sold at $249.99 retail price while Metroid Prime 3 Corruption is sold at $56.50. The said Wii bundle is factoring in both titles mentioned at an extra $40, deducting 33% from the total cost of the games alone. Metroid Prime Trilogy is to be sold $67.80 compared to the initially stated, an $11.30 difference between the original title and the trilogy. Factoring in the original stated values for the two NPC Metroid titles to be sold seperated, $33.90 each, we can conclude that the value to own both title in this trilogy package comes up to saving one an estimate of 83% of the original value it would have cost you to get both Prime titles seperately. The logic of comparing the two also seems heavily unmatched, seeing how you claim we are pay for Metroid Prime 3 with now added features while you're talking about purchasing a Wii with added products. The fact you want the Wii alone without the games creates a very unbalanced situation comparing it to the Prime Trilogy. You do not want Metroid Prime 3, though the two titles you are getting at their discounted price in the Trilogy Bundle? Pretty much that's comparing polar opposites right there, especially if you claim that we are just paying for the price of Metroid Prime 3. I can understand your point, trying to say that you don't want to pay extra money for games you do not want. Though this logic is absolutely moot point and illogical when factoring the U.S. prices, since you would be paying $249.99 for both the Wii and both titles since there is no price difference at all in the retail price of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption and the Metroid Trilogy pack.(You can blame the government for the price difference of the games over there)

3. I can use your previously stated knowledge with any other bundle in existence that I have, or my brother has purchased in the past. I'll take the Orange Box for example. My brother is a big Valve fanatic. He bought Half-Life 2 when it was originally released at full retail price, at $49.99 USD. Then he went further to purchasing Episode 1 for I believe $20 USD when it originally released. Though they released the Orange Box for $49.99 USD, giving him three new games and two titles he's already purchased. Now for the math:

$49.99 + $20 + $49.99 = $119.98

So he simply bought those two games in the past, to later be forced to buy two games he already owns just to get three titles he hasn't played yet. Regardless, we'll do the math to factor how much it cost him to get those three games.

$119.98 / 3 = $39.99 each (rounded off)

So he's forced to pay $39.99 for each game he does not have for what seems to be a seamingly excellent deal, which in the end scammed him out.

For the same answer, see #1. He still owns the second copy of Half-Life 2, as well as Episode 1, free to do what he wishes with it whether he wishes to gift it to someone else or leave it to collect dust. Just because you own something already and get a second copy does not mean it's non-existant. That second copy still has value.

First time ever having the heart to finally rant, but this is my stand on your logic that you've continued to spout as 'truth.' This is the logic I've grown to understand, seeing how everything you purchase has value to it.

Anyways, this is a deal for me. I guess I'm glad I only rented MP3 with a free rental coupon last year. Wouldn't mind picking this up since I've yet to complete Echoes.

[QUOTE="nintendo2200"][QUOTE="primitive013"]

that's enough channels for 240 games. you could download almost the entire VC if you have the money and a 32g card.

micahismyname

I heard it was 200 games!

i think hes refering to the 40 channels on the wii's internal memory as well

Well each page allows you to hold 12 games on it, so 12 times 20 would end up to 240. Sadly my collection only spans four pages...

The game certainly has come a long ways. I never got too interested when it was coming to the DS since I had a taste of the NES game not too long before it was announced. Interesting game, though it didn't grasp me so well since I could never figure out what to do next...

I really love the new art style they put for this game. If they at least make it a little easier to navigate, then I can warrent this a purchase. :)

I'm uncertain whether the Guitar Hero peripherals will work with the Track Pack 2, but I'm already aware that the AD/DC trackpack supports the GH guitar, though not the drums. That was released around the same time, so I would presume so, especially after taking a look through the forum for that game.(not much, but someone there seemed to confirm it)

So in short, most likely the GH guitar will work with the game.

I was curious about MaBoShi's Arcade when I saw it. 800 points for a game that looks like it has very simple functions? I wouldn't have considered it very much, had it not had the replay data, as well as the DS Download feature. But after about 40 minutes of playing, I'm actually rather impressed with the game. :) The Circle game seems to be the easiest amongst them all(stick being the hardest...), though they all offer their own unique style of play. In no way is it easy to actually breach the one million mark on any of the games(especially the Stick game), so that would be some pretty fun incentive for me to improve. Though it is indeed a title you'd only pick up for about a half an hour per sitting... I still got 2100 points remaining, so I might choose something else before I continue to wait for Cave Story to release on WiiWare...(I was rather disappointed that it didn't release this year... :( ) Maybe I'll have a little bit of fun with StarTropics...

Mature- pertaining to or characteristic of full development

Or from one of the articles by GamesRadar, "Some of the most mature games aren't even rated "Mature." Braid is legally appropriate for anyone over the age of 10, ...... The subtext of this seemingly innocent quest, on the other hand, requires a bit of life experience to appreciate."

In one perspective Mad World is a very mature(in terms of it being inappropriate for a child) title, though it still remains a seriously immature(it terms of the provided defenition) title with its over the top comical violence.

I look up to both titles upon their release, though The Conduit might only be a rental for me...(so long as I'm still working next to a rental store :P )

actually im pretty sure you can use the rock band instruments with world tour. or at least you can with the 360 versiontwitch25

That's strictly with the 360 and PS3 versions. Not with the Wii.

Rock Band Drums don't work with Guitar Hero World Tour. It only works the otherway around. If you really want to play Guitar Hero World Tour with the drums, then you'll have to wait for them to release.
