Lucky Krang

I still need alot of practice on my kanji, though, so I can only get a general idea of what's going on in games that use alot of it.

But luckily, DM/PdP uses only hiragana and katakana in its menus, and most games that aren't heavily story-based don't use too much kanji.

Picked up a second dance pad for my Gamecube today, see post in the Nintendo thread on how DDR took over this years Thanksgiving.

But anyway, I'm still happy with the version I bought since I got it early and since I could use the extra practice reading the Japanese menus.

Yeah, I thought that too. I assumed though that Nintendo could no longer use the Tetris name because of licensing junk and such, then the name Dr. Mario/ Tetris Attack showed up on the European release list.

Now I just don't know what they're thinking. *shrugs* Either way, I'm happy with my cartridge too

Oh, and I just imported a boxed copy of Panel de Pon for the Super Famicom for like $35. I'm gonna mod my SNES and play it. The AI was supposed to be harder than the US Tetris Attack version.

I got Perfect Dark Zero to go with my 360 on launch day.

That is why you fail.

M&L is such an awesome game. I'm enjoying it completely. Between that, Mario Kart and PoP I'm having a gaming orgasam.

**Barkworm** · 12-05-2005, 12:37 AM

It was a s***** fall, but it's by far becoming one of the best Winter's in memory. Mario Kart winters are always like that.

BRING ON ANIMAL CROSSING AND THE NEXT WASTED 2 YEARS OF MY LIFE!

w00t!

Now, if only MS would get that damn 360 shipment out, all would be set. Those idiots just don't know how to launch a console

*Kid Icarus* · 12-05-2005, 10:33 AM

Oh, on the contrary TMB, they know exactaly what they're doing.

Having no consoles in stores, with a few sold in each area, creates a demand for it. If it's always sold out, it must be selling amazingly well right? If they seem to be going from the truck to customers hands, it's gotta be popular, right?

We know diffrent, but to your average consumer it makes it seem like the 360 is the best selling thing since Super Mario Bros. 3.

Sony did the same thing with the Playstation2, infact. It's just that they didn't have the games the 360 does (2 RARE titles at one time is olmost blasphemy).

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-05-2005, 02:02 PM

Yeah, I know they're just trying to do the supply/demand thing, but if they had any intelligence at all, they'd be trying to create as big of an install base as possibe like DS did to PSP by launching early so as the screw Sony and Nintendo, but nah. They're too dumb to do that. Idiots who don't get one on Christmas may just wait for one of the other two anyways.

Boo Hoo, their loss.

*Duke* · 12-05-2005, 03:27 PM

Yeah I think minimizing the number of consoles on the market at lauch is stupid too but I got one so I really can't complain.

Peanut · 12-06-2005, 01:26 PM

Just got back with Animal Crossing: Wild World! w00t!
