The european Wii launch is looking to be a MESS
Jimbob replied to darthbane2k's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I did a test, it outputs a signal which is better than the composite signal, but not as good as the RGB signal. I don't use it for the GC, as i got a RGB for that but for the Wii, i will use it until an RGB becomes available. -
Most expensive game for me was Donkey Kong 64, which cost me £59.99. It did come with an expansion pack, which was handy when i got Perfect Dark a couple of weeks later.

The european Wii launch is looking to be a MESS
Jimbob replied to darthbane2k's topic in Nintendo Gaming
With an added addition that i got a scart block that the composite cables slot into i.e. it's a scart plug with three pin slots for the composite cables to plug into. It's pretty handy for getting a better picture out of composite cables. Plus, it supports 60 Htz games like MP2 and displays them with a crisp picture -
The european Wii launch is looking to be a MESS
Jimbob replied to darthbane2k's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I've been using RGB scart cables since the N64 days, and have been using the same cable when i got a Cube. So when i get a Wii, i'll be using the cable with the Wii. I've got a portable TV in my room, which displays the picture on-screen brilliantly. As and when i get a HD-TV, i'll get the component cables. I was reading somewhere that composite cables provide an ok picture, RGB provide a great picture and the componant cables provide the best picture possible for the Wii. -
It's hard to decide which five games i would keep, but i know i would definetly keep Wind Waker, MGS:Twin Snakes and PoP:Two Thrones

This makes me want to dig out the original and play it. Pity i can't, my N64 and most of my games were nicked. Lent it to a mate, then he moved away with my stuff. I'll have to buy another N64, only £20 on e-bay.

If it comes out on the VC (most likely will, it is Nintendo owned). I'll be downloading it and completing it once again. It was a great game
-
This game is the worst game i've ever played on any system. I remember renting out the game, wanted to see what it was like n stuff. Within 5 minutes of gameplay, i ended up using this as a paperweight because that was the only good thing about the game in the end

Ah, this brings back a lot of good memories about the game. Majoras Mask was, and still is one of the darkest thrilling Zelda games i've played. Last played on this game a couple months back, best bit of the game i thought were transforming into Zora's, Goron's and Deku's. This game has so much replay value thanks to the three day time cycle. Must get back to playing this game, still got a couple of heart pieces to get which are the ones in the mini-games that take three days to get. I found this out when i was playing the lottery in the game.

Nice videos, brings back a lot of memories of past gaming

Depends, i use Mario, Link, Ganondorf and Mewtwo a lot of the time. But as i said, it depends who i play against.

Not according to Nintendo Europe, they guaranteed that Europe will get Twlight Princess on the GC released in shops across Europe on 15/12/2006. At the moment, i've pre-ordered Twlight Princess for the GC from Gameplay, as i won;t have enough money saved up for a Wii and the Wii version until after Christmas.

The end of a console's life - Not all that bad.
Jimbob replied to Cube's topic in General Gaming Discussion
I've still got a couple of games i'm working through on my GC, which include Metroid Prime 2 and Timespliiters: Future Perfect (i'm doing both on the hardest mode available), so my GC still has plenty of life left in it yet. There is only one game i want for the GC atm which is Twilight Princess (due to my budget i can't get a Wii or the Wii version of the game till after Christmas) -
I'm probably gonna get it on Launch, or if not within a month or two after Launch in Europe.

I don't see why people compare all three 3D Zelda games, each one is slightly better than the one before it in my opinion. Ocarina of Time introduced us to the Happy Mask shop and the mask trading which allowed us to wear masks to look like other tribes and it introduced us to Epona and songs that could transport us to Temple entrances as well as control day and night and conjour up storms if required. Ocarina of Time also gave us practice in stealth in and around Hyrule Castle and Gerudo Valley and gave us mini-games and side quests to distract us from the main story Majoras Mask improved upon this by allowing us to collect many masks, some of which had unique powers like controlling animals with song and others giving us the ability to transform into Zoras or Gorons. Epona was available much earlier in the game than in Ocarina and one song allowed us to travel to Town, Region or Temple entrances. Majoras Mask improved the stealth by using a vast area like Gerudo Fortress as a great place to sneak around as well as hiding from thieves. Majoras Mask also gave us even more mini-games and side quests than Ocarina did and it improved these as well by either making them harder or spreading them out over three days to make them more interesting. Wind Waker improved this further, even with one mask in the game, we could see the enemy health and see how much it had left. Transport was available earlier still with the introduction of the King of Red Lions, and more songs that allowed us to control the Wind were introduced. The sneaking around factor was brought back in the Forsaken Fortress and was also used on Windfall. Wind Waker also had it's fair dose of mini-games and side quests, which would make the game last longer and distract you from the main quest e.g. the Triforce quest So in my opinion, each of the three 3D Zelda games is slightly better in some ways than the one before it. Ocarina of Time set the foundations, Majoras Mask and Wind Waker built up on the foundations

That was my first game i ever played when i was about 3. My first ever console game was Super Mario Bros on the NES, it took me ages to complete it. I remember me and my Dad competing to see who could get further into the game than the other one, he won most of the time though lol

My Cube works fine, plays all my games and i've had it about 3 years now. It is my second Cube, someone thought it would be funny to take my first Cube and fill it with polyfiller for an April Fools Joke. As i didn't have a screwdriver that fits the Cube screws, i couldn't clean it out. Funny thing is, it still played my games until it blew up because it got overheated

I can't stand the Stars Catalogue. There is never anything decent to buy. Just look at NoA and Nintendo of Japan's catalogues. They got way better stuff than us Europeans. A tip NoE, improve the catalogue in Europe with permanant better items, not items that stay 5 mins in the catalogue then not update it again for months. By doing this, you will improve European Ninty sales and make us a whole lot happier as well.

What did the Gamecube do for you?
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Gaming Discussion
It re-introduced me to the Prince of Persia franchise, as well as giving me classic gaming moments from games including Wind Waker, Metroid Prime and Smash Bros. Here's hoping this tradition continues with the Wii -
GAME Memory Cards: Anyone have experience with them?
Jimbob replied to Rob3008's topic in General Gaming Discussion
I've only used the Nintendo official memory cards, since i had a bad experiance from using non-official cards in the past. The first one i had never worked, the second one after i returned the first worked for a while, then it cloned all my save files, then corrupted. Finally, i got a third one which worked until i played on Wrestlemania XIX, then never worked after that. So since then, i;ve always bought official -
F-Zero GX. The hardest game i've ever played. I've never completed it, but i have sold it a couple times. Reason for that is people like my parents bought me the game again after i sold it originally.

What is the worst Nintendo 64 game you ever played
Jimbob replied to british lad's topic in General Gaming Discussion
:horse: This game was so bad, i was starting to think of things to do with the game cart itself. In the end, i used it as a paperweight. Lex Luthor: Solve my maze. What friggin maze http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/egm07.htm If anyone wishes to read the review of the game, i found it on this site -
I'll keep my eye out for the mag over the weekend

I got a 6 gig Creative Micro. Most of the music on it comes from CD´s that i have bought, and the rest is downloaded from the Tesco music site. Each track is about 60p each.

There will be a way for Ninty to get through this "new" law. If they can't, then this will be a huge blow for UK gamers.
