Posted April 25, 2009 £300 console in a recession also coming out a year after the 360 and only 8 million units behind. Personally i don't think thats too bad at all, especially after the really rough launch it had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2009 It isn't doing well AT ALL by Playstation standards. And they might have double the lifecycle of the other consoles but that just means it will be outdated when the others come out. Well if i was Sony and I knew the best was still to come i'd be very pleased. Bear in mind the xbox and GC had very few games to compete with the PS2's library and the same applies for the N64. When you look at the 360 its probably got the best library of games we've seen a console have for long time, so to only just be behind that console at a high price in recession is great news.

Posted April 25, 2009 I suppose this confirms the games aren't going to be in a bundle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2009 Its been a good few weeks since we got a shafting from Capcom. They're making up for lost time. Funny thing is the games would probably have sold more as a "good-deal" bundle rather than 2 games.... But capcom don't want to piss off the japanese gamers who already had to pay for them seperatly. Actually, whatever happened to them NOT bringing them here because of a negative reaction to resident evil 0?.... did they want us to beg and plead for them cause I heard none of it?

Yeah it's strange, no one wanted the games, and CAPCOM said they weren't going release them them because no one wanted them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 29, 2009 HOLY SHIT!! I'm wanting... - Wario Land, - WarioWare, - Disaster, - Metroid Pime 3, - Endless Ocean, - And if I wasn't waiting for ExciteBots, I'd get ExciteTruck aswell *phew!* Now, what do I get? Although Endless Ocean is only £4.98, is it worth just waiting for the sequel, because then I'll prob enjoy that more. Unless it isn't much different to the first in which case I may aswell get that! Argh!! I think MP3 is probably a MUST! What's WarioWare like people? Good replay value or pretty short yet sweet. May have to get Disaster aswell! Can't decide!!

Posted April 29, 2009 I wouldn't buy Wario Land for a tenner. Thought it was awful and a complete waste of the 20-something-pound I spent on it. But each to their own. Some of the prices are slightly different instore though. Disaster was £17.98 when I had a look in GAME and that was on all of the copies they had. Okami for a fiver is ridiculous. Everyone needs to buy it (if they haven't already done so) at that price. Even if you don't like it, it's a small amount of money for a fantastic game. It does make me sad that it is that price though. Worth so much more than that, in my opinion. @ Retro_Link - I'd say go for Endless Ocean. I'm not sure how long we'll have to wait for the second one (supposed to be out the end of this year but not sure if that counts for Europe as Nintendo neglected to mention the region when discussing the titles they showed at the October Conference) but it's worth a go at that. Very good and relaxing title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 29, 2009 Yeah atm it's between MP3, Endless Ocean and Wario Land. - Excitebots isn't far away, plus I've played a good bit of ExciteTruck with Eddage, so I'll leave that. - Disaster gets VERY mixed opinions, and I have no video reviews to go off either. - WarioWare I think is more suited to the DS, and there's no multiplayer, and will prob lack replay.

Posted April 29, 2009 I thought warioland was brilliant, so completely agree with H-o-T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 29, 2009 Some great bargains there- I bought WarioWare + Wario Land yesterday but it looks like even more titles have seen reductions. I'd love to get my mitts on DQ: Swords for that price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 29, 2009 I ordered Warioland. a tenner c'mon. Baroque & okami were both out of stock online so may try instore. For £4.98 each they must be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 29, 2009 Oh dear. EA seem to have taken a cue from Grand Slam Tennis and it's graphical presentation. http://www.gamekyo.com/newsen30880_madden-nfl-10-firsts-pics.html Don't know what to say really. It seems like a step backwards really. The Madden series seems to moving backwards as well, with subsequent titles after 2004 not hitting the same high notes. Hope this doesn't set the precident for future EA Sports titles on the Wii though. It's nice that they're trying to be different with it but there isn't any need.

Posted April 29, 2009 Are you serious, it looks absolutely stunning! Sure I've never played an NFL game and probably have no intention to! But visually the Wii version multiformat sports titles have always looked pretty poor and in no way stand up to the 360/PS3 counterparts. So personally I'd rather see a great looking graphical style hand crafted for Wii and not forgetting WiiMotion+ can really help move the NLF gameplay on!
