OUCH! Bad news for non-GameCube owners.

Mikey the Party Turtle · 10-18-2003, 11:10 AM

According to my new EGM, only the GameCube version has a "Casey Jones Mode" that is unlocked once you "Gather all Crystals in the GBA" version. OUCH. Good thing I'm buying it for GC.

Oh yeah, they rated the game 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 (7.0 guy says fans of the old games will love it.

)

EDIT: Mario Kart got 10, 10 and 9.5!

RskimB · 10-18-2003, 11:18 AM

whats casey jones mode?

*Kid Icarus* · 10-18-2003, 11:48 AM

I'm guessing you get to play through the game as Casey

.

Sweet!

And Mario Kart's going to have me getting another 'cube, two broadband adapters, a HUB, and another ethernet cable. Can we say a LAN in my room?

DAMN IT!!!

RskimB · 10-18-2003, 11:57 AM

i'll have to steal a gamecube then

TalonMC · 10-18-2003, 12:04 PM

'Fraid you're wrong about that Mikey...

I know first-hand that the Xbox version has that mode also.

verminator_x · 10-18-2003, 12:10 PM

does some one knows when the tmnt game will be realsed in scandinavia?
i know that it will come out the 21 october but very many games has been realsed in the us and then it have gone a long loong time before the game has been realsed in scandinavia.

hm it would be real cool if the new game will be like the old one from 91 with the title "turtles in time"

OA · 10-18-2003, 12:53 PM

Well, if that mode is on GBA and X-box than it had better be on PS2!!!

If not, im going to a very unhappy camper!!!!

Actually, EGM would be wrong.

But it is kinda unfair if it wasn't on the other systems.

Well, these guys are normal gamers who aren't really fans of TMNT.

~~Trunks~~ · 10-18-2003, 06:28 PM

so what I played the demo for pc and my opinion is that its an awsome game it does'nt matter if your a fan or not its still a great game.

Prowl · 10-18-2003, 08:02 PM

Fraid I'm still getting it for PS2, even though I have all systems and I love Casey. You see, I still play the old Snes and Genesis Turtle games, and 5 years from now, when the Cube is in the closet and the Xbox is in some Pawn shop, I will have a backwards-compatible PS3 and still be able to play my PS2 TMNT game on it. (it is annoying to pull out the Genesis and SNES out everytime I want to play it). And I know for certain that Nintendo's next offering will not contain backwards compatibility because Nintendo hasn't figured out one format to stick to because they always like to play things their own way, so it is very unlikely that we'll get a next gen system that will play GC games as well.

But moreover, I played the PC demo with a crappy PC controller, and I for one have a problem with only two shoulder buttons on the Xbox and GC. When I play a game with a lot of moves, I like to have some assigned to multiple shoulder buttons. And with one being reserved for the dash (It sucked so bad dashing with no shoulder), and the other button for the uppercut move.

Losing Casey (though I doubt it's exclusing to GC) is not enough reason to play it on a bad controller OUCH, like soul caliber, though I had to suffer through that one for Link.

Edit: good to see Mario K get good reviews, we are getting that game and playing it till the end of time.

And as I said, I paid the PC demo, minus an intelligently-designed controller, and I have to say the game will live up to expectations. It is fun as hell, and the turtles look great. Screw EGM's incompetent reviewers. They gave Jak2 a not-so-hot- grade because they sucked at playing it and it was too tough for them...Waaaaaah!!

Same thing happened with F-Zero GX. Screw EGM & they're pitiful excuse for gamers.

I personally love the GC controller. It feels like it's made to fit your hand. About the Casey thing........

I love my Game Cube

Dosent matter controller wise to me anyway. I'm working on building an arcade cabinet in which I'll put MAME, my TMNT arcade PCB/Jamma Board, and my GC with Soul Caliber 2 (Link!!!) & the new TMNT game. When I'm finished, I'll be able to play it with a 4 player Slick Stik joystick panel. Now that's how all TMNT games were meant to be played.

Sorry for all you PS2 & X-Box owners. I really do hope they put Casey in all versions so that no one gets jipped.

Prowl · 10-18-2003, 09:18 PM

I don't dislike the GC controller, but I do think it is flawed. I was playing Castlevania Aria on my GB player and sometimes when things would get furious, I would accidently push the map button because they are so jumbled together (and I have small fingers) and when fighting on SoulCaliber and pushing X and Y to do combos, I'd accidently push the mammoth button, and mess up.

BUT...The controller fits very well into your hand, like you said, and for games like Zelda, there is nothing better.

And yes, F-Zero, and Sly Cooper, and now Jak 2 suffer in reviews because these reviewers are too young to have played games when games would kick your ass and hand it to you, like back in the NES days "Ninja Gaiden anyone?"

It sux too because some people come to trust these reviews, and as a result, excellent titles like f-zero get overlooked.

As for Casey, he will be missed, but I am sticking to PS2 just for longevity. The only thing that will change my mind is if the old Arcade game is hidden in the GC version. However, nothing could make me get the Xbox Version, unless it had a four player coop mode, which aint gonna happen.

~~Leo656~~ · 10-18-2003, 09:19 PM

Actually I find EGM's reviews to be fairly accurate... they just seem to prefer games that are "fresh" and "innovative", and they are definitely NOT fans of beat-'em-ups like TMNT. Thus, the lower scores, which I predicted by the way. It's just like I figured... TMNT fans would love it, non-TMNT fans wouldn't care.

It's not the end of the world. It's like how wrestling games always get medium to low scores since they aren't anything "new" or "inventive". Fans like 'em, non-fans just don't care.

*cqb101* · 10-18-2003, 09:29 PM

Awesome! Casey's my favorite character so I'm so glad GC's getting him.

you mean Gamecube. you have to use the GBA to unlock it.

And i really doubt it will be. PS2 rarely gets extras in their games, because the other versions need bonus's to boost their sales.
