Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Anyone owns an NDS?

The fact is, no one knows the roof of the DS' connection speed, and you need a fairly good speed to play an MMORPG anyway.

Not really. Lots of people play things like Final Fantasy, Everquest, and other MMORPGs on 56K modems still because broadband isn't available. And it runs just fine on those. (Of course they are hating themselves everytime an update is released)
 
>1, The DS appreviation stands for, officially, NOTHING. N-O-T-H-I-N-G!
Heh... Someone already corrected you on this. ;)

>4. IGN should NEVER be quoted. Simply... no.
Totally and completly.

>5. DS is not online yet. It probably won't be online for awhile. And, seeing as it will run off your existing LAN (Don't got one? Too bad!), trying to support an MMORPG on such a handheld will probably require a very strong signal.
Offically? No. But... http://www.dual-scene.com. Metroid, Mario 64 and Pictochat have all been successfully tunnled....

>9. The tetris pack-in was retail specific. You didn't get that everywhere. The GBA never packed crystal. The GBP never packed LoZ, they would not give their star franchise away for free.

Tetris was *not* retail specific. All stores received the initial GameBoy package that included the GameBoy, Tetris, Earphones, a Link Cable, 4 batteries and the manual and such. Remember, the original Game Boy was released when pack-ins was the norm. As far as LoZ, I got to thinking about it and I think it may have been a Target/Dayton Hudson exclusive, so yeah, it doesn't count.

>The gamecube is not and will never be a portable console.
Well, you could get the LCD screen. ;)
 
Tagrineth, listen, the point I was making about the flyer that was the quality or the games for GC dropped signficantly after the first few. The other systems had at least decent games all the way trough. Sorry if i don't remember the names of all the games, it was ONLY over a month ago that I looked at it. ;/

A longer list will invariably end up sucking more at the end, assuming the best games come first. ;)

If only text could convey tone and inflection, then maybe you would've seen that my last post was far less than serious... ^_^;
 
The LCD screen doesn't power the gamecube. 0wned. =P

Again, the Tetris + Headphones package was available to first party retails and large chains only. If you were to buy it from a small store with little or no chain (eg. one or two stores at most), you would get just the standard gameboy with four batteries and the manual. One could argue that it was a pack-in, and certian placs simply did not carry it. And, uhh, yeah, I'm pretty old, I was, say, 10 years old when gameboy launched. I was a Sega man, but it had the worst ads if I recal - They went something like "Buy a gameboy. Only $200!".

The portable battery pack does, however. One of these days, I'm going to get the LCD screen and the battery pack, strap 'em both onto my GCN with Game Boy Player and have a GameBoy Advance SP XL. ;)

There were some stores that carried the NES without one of the various pack-ins it came with over the years (Gyromite, Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros., World Class Track Meet, SMB3, etc...) It doesn't mean the NES did not come with a pack-in...

>and that's the select-a-game of 1981
*That* was over twenty years ago. The GameBoy pack-in of ten years ago doesn't seem that bad.

Nintendo has *rarely* had decent-to-good commericals stateside. My favorite one from them is one of the original Smash Bros. commericals where they're all running though a wide open green field and then start fighting... And that's a weak one.

I think SEGA had a great commerical where some kid tried to bring a home console onto an Airplane and had this huge extention cord running from home-to-airplane... That one amused me.

We need better video game commericals...
