Heh, not a chance. Its an amusing situation though, developers always say "Its ready when its ready", publishers just set a date, and rarely change it because of bullcrap "marketing tactics". HG/SS have been instock in my friends GAME for about a week and a half now, FFXIII had a similar scenario, having them 3 weeks before release.

Well, just been speaking to a friend of mine, GAME have all their copies ready in stock, in store.. So if any one you feel like scousing a shop and stealing one, get me a copy of Heart Gold!

Now, do them Pokewalker mabobs come with batteries? Thanks in advance!

Ah, it was a rumour after all. Apparently the product code on the cartridge shows it has DSi optimization because the 'NTR' code is missing off the cartridge.

Ike, do you own a DSi? If you do and you havent tried it, play it on that, rumour has it that the collection utilises the extra power.

On the bright side, comfort food is pretty cheap at Home Bargains. Caramel Nibbles? £1? You must be yanking ma cock la'

Watch these 2, your mind will be blown, I know mine was.

Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing About time a Sega themed game was good. 9/10, lacked a decent amount of old school sega references and no Phantasy Star Characters playable. Oh and Sonic is in a car, what the hell.

Have yet to play online, but have you figured out how to Turbo Start yet? I've tried everything, still havent got it..

Any one else pick this up today? Frame rate issues seem to be fixed on the 360, and its damn fun, not sure if it beats Mario Kart DS yet.. but every other Mario Kart has been beaten by this so far in my opinion.

Its most likely the beta test, I'm still holding out for it, the last game I truely enjoyed from Sonic was Advance 2

HEAAAAVYYYYY RAAAAIIIIIIN YOU CAN BRUSH YOUR TEETH IN THIS GAME HEEEAAAAAVVVYYY RAAAAAIIIIN In the mall press X to call Jason's name HEAAAAVYYYYY RAIIIIIIN Give a clown $20 and say keep the change Uhh..to make sure this isnt spam, a bag of Super Thingies

Day so far is good, received a random but appreciated thanks from a friend, and currently oggling the chick who played Cordelia from Angel who just turned up on the screen on Veronica Mars, more of her and its the best day ever. Edit: ..Second day in a row I've posted a snippet of my life on this thread, god damn I feel like a Blogger.

Uh yeah, first thread, and not really sure where to put it, it counts as retro gaming, but not tied just to Nintendo consoles, and the description for 'Other Consoles' would suggest I maybe put it there, but here it goes.. Game Hacks I've always been into hacked games, games you already own, personalised for fans with extra content, new story lines, new methods of play etc. I remember back when just after the original Pokemon games were released, I used to be with a group as a hex editor (tough task when your just 10 years old, but I understood what to do ), editing the text for our version of Pokemon Black. After the group gave up through boredom, never really bothered, and havent hacked any games since, but I still have an interest in playing them. Before I go any further, probably best to point out that I'm not endorsing the download of rom's etc, legality differs country to country, UK laws (presumably still) suggest that you must own the original copy if you download anything, though I will provide no method of downloading any roms, patches etc. So yeah, I've played quite alot of Shiny Gold X, the harder version of Shiny Gold, a hack for Pokemon Fire Red which remakes the Gold and Silver games made by a guy at pokecommunity I think? The sheer effort put into it is immense, but of course interest in it has been pushed aside once the Gold and Silver remakes were announced. And lately I've been playing hacks of the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the megadrive and megacd. Notable games I've played include Sonic Megamix, pretty much the majority of the sonic game features into one game, with levels based on Sonic 1, although infuriating bugs exist that could freeze the game, I've played through quite a few times. Another is Robotnik's Revenge, a Sonic 2 hack that includes all 17 boss battles from the first 2 games, rolled out in a time attack fashion across one zone. So, any one else a fan?

Ay! Gotta love experimenting with values, I used to do the same (kinda) with my Game Genie for Mega drive, the most memorable was my first attempt in altering one of the codes that was successful was Sonic's moon jump in Sonic 2, set the thing so high he jumped and died in the air (my mind was blown as a kid to realise there was no ceiling and acted like a hole in the ground). So envious of my younger self having all that free time..

I was with a mate the other day on a train and Living in the City suddenly came to mind, how out of place was that music eh? I think the Singer must have slept with a lot of employee's..

I believe these are hacks, but hey, both have loose definitions and are therefore subjective. A mod to me is a modification to textures and already existent in game data which may have been locked, unlocked. In my days of playing Blue Burst, I always deemed it a mod to change character and field skins. However, when it comes to meddling with the games data and not just external objects that are easily replaced by a new file, I call it a hack, although, this yet again boils down to the hack/mod loose definition, as Hot Coffee from GTA:SA was known as the 'Hot Coffee mod'. These games are however known by the majority as hacks and stay close to the definition of hack: 'To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization'. By gaining access to the file, they are free to implement or remove data, seen in the Robotnik's Revenge, which the hacker took data from the game Sonic 1 but implemented it into Sonic 2, enabling all bosses to be battled in one stage, but also extending the stage which he chose to use, which was the Death Egg zone, which in reality is very short. I'l consider renaming this thread, because determining if my definition is wrong was not contribution to the topic I wished to discuss. edit: Another feat the hacker used in the Robotnik's Revenge is the disabling of the Time Out death which occurred at 9:59, allowing more time to defeat all 17 bosses from the original 2 Sonic games.

So uh..that was pretty crap. I refuse to buy a Wii purely for Fragile next month, was hoping something would get announced to persuade me, Other M may be it, but thats as far as it goes..

Day so far is terrible, scraped a pass on my test despite my confidence in it, and now looking at the text book and not understanding a god damn thing. Oh and hi

I'm anticipating a Zelda, especially if its in first person view, the new direction its supposedly been teased to go in has had me guessing for a good while.
