    Sonic & The Black Knight coming for the Wii

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    For anyone who thinks that Sonic hasn't been in a rut the past few years, I'd like for you to explain the travesty called Sonic 2006.

    I really don't trust their games these days as they're usually rushed and end up with exciting glitches like boosting into your own bullets from the motorcycle or taking damage just by driving a hovercraft, jumping into an enemy only to fall to your death, breakdancing to death whenever you run into a wall during the mach speed section, and numerous stages that can take 15 or more tedious minutes.

    If you want to see the full game and the pain that it causes, click right here.

    Question on Wavebird controllers: I have 2 right now that are having the "stuck in one direction" problem. Is there a DIY fix for this, and if so, is it easy enough to make buying a tri-head screwdriver worth it? If not, does Nintendo still repair Wavebird controllers and is there a price estimate for the fix?

    (Slight Derail but Snake's in Brawl so if I just picked up the MGS Essential Collection, would it hurt if I played in chronological order by starting with MGS3, or should I wait until I find a PSone memory card to start going through the trilogy from the first game?)

    AUGH

    Kiddies, I have a slight problem. I am still debating on whether this will be a single or double elimination tournament.

    INPUT PLZ. Will be making my decision tonight.

    Singles are a bit easier to set up, quick to finish, but don't give rookie players much of a chance.

    Doubles take longer, more complicated to follow (unless you have a good tournament maker/program), but let everyone have more playtime.

    So if there's a good number of excellent players, go with the singles. Otherwise, doubles works for all the people who would be thrilled to not lose their first match.

    Poor baby, a whole two weeks away? However will you manage?

    This brings up something I've been thinking about. Who actually decides when Europe gets Nintendo's first party releases? Does Nintendo of Europe play a part in it or is it the fault of the main Nintendo HQ? :???:

    Just like the classic Mario Kart for SNES [...] all you need is to power slide successfully to get a subsequent boost in speed after.

    Huh? You couldn't do that in SMK. You could only carry your speed through the corner with the slide.

    Also, if online is decent (with or without snaking, doesn't matter to me), then I'll pick this up. I played MKDS for a long time online, but it started getting to the point of just messing around with people by trying to "pace" yourself so other opponents would stand a chance and wouldn't dc after the first race. Although in the last race (if you were leading in total points already), it was hilarious to let everyone get ahead of you, then sit back with blue shells/bullet bills and end up forcing all of them to tie in the final points.

    What???

    1. I can believe that. Nintendo is really paranoid about communication, but they still allow text between friends, right?

    2. The Wii does have a hard drive! How else could you download virtual console games?

    3. I certainly hope this is not the case. They put global rankings in mario strikers, right? why not the same for brawl???

    4. There could be some connectivity. Throw a couple bombs in, or something.

    2. 512 MB internal flash memory is not a hard drive

    3. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/wi-fi01.html

    Your opponent will not know your name or any information about you, and neither of you can send short messages. There will also be no battle records kept for this mode, so whether you win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Just sit back and play.

    Edit: Beaten :(

    I am not 100% positive on this, but wasn't that how you boosted in Mario kart 64?

    Nope, 64 was the game that introduced "Left right left right BOOST!!!" to the series (not to mention fake item boxes, triple items, the banana trail, and the blue shell).

    Atma is correct here. The Olimar in that video is an exception, he had a purple pikmin ready against the edge hog. And the Metaknight tried the melee-style slowly get up from the ledge move, which doesn't work in Brawl (only a few 100% plus get ups will hog the ledge for more than an instant). Again, bad edgehogging example.

    By showing the exception rather than the rule, you're spreading misinformation.

    Ah, my bad. There was one point where he tossed a blue pikmin, but I wasn't paying attention to notice that Meta was just doing the slowly get up style. Fixed to prevent anymore misinformation.

    I'm starting to hear talk of Snake having a so called "glitch" on his Cypher move where if someone grabs him when he's doing the move and cancels it, he can't do it again.

    I don't know if it's a genuine glitch or paranoid gamers jumping the gun as usual yet but it's worth note.

    It's paranoid gamers. At 2:11, he mistakenly uses the missle instead of the Cypher. 2:54, he DOES use the Cypher, but only after accidentally dropping a grenade. At the end he presses the wrong thing and ends up falling to his death. Just looks like the Snake player has slippery fingers, that's all. :wink:
