Pac-Man VS

[dog$]

Until Nintendo packs a GBA and link cable in with every GC, it's not free.

[Blaine]

Come on.

You can play that angle any way you want.

If you gave me a PS2 game I wouldn't say 'yeah, but it's not free because now I gotta go buy another PS2'.

It's also not free because you gotta own a tv and pay for electricity...it's a stupid chain of logic.

Just because you lack the equipment to use it, doesn't mean it's not 'free'.

[dog$]

Well, to me then, the only thing that could be even more stupid to say would be:

I need to rely upon a GameMachineJr in order to make a title on my GameMachine more fun or useable.

[Josh]

I'm sorry, but I disagree.

Its a "free" feature built into a game which requires about $100 to use.

Spending $100 to use a feature is not free. Not from where I'm standing anyway.

I don't want to argue with you, since I like your comic, so I'll just do what I normally do... type in all caps, and question your sexuality.

UR GAY! HAAH

Link cables are sub-$10.

DOESNT SONUD FREE TO ME! NOOB!

[Blaine]

'Need' being the operative word.

Your game machine's fun would run out fairly quick if you couldn't buy another game for it.

You don't need to buy another game for it. You don't need to buy anything for it. You want to buy another game for it. Wanting to buy it is another thing altogether. Don't want it, don't buy it. Zero snipers are poised to pick off anyone who doesn't invest in 3 GBA's and link cables.

All Nintendo is doing is making a game for a segment of thier userbase who own the equipment to play it (or have an interest in finding others to make the game work). They're giving it a way as a promo. If you can run it, cool, if not, what's it matter?

The matter is that all of this time, money, debate, and development for handheld hardware and software (and any gimmick which combines the two) would be 100% more useful if singularly applied to any home console today.

I just want to be included

dude, it was like, Miyamoto and some other dude just messing around trying to come up with connectivity ideas. they came up with this one in a matter of days, showed it to Namco, and they both decided that it should get released in one way or another.

it's not like they had half of EAD working on this. this is nothing more than some random project that turned out really good.

there's like a handful of Nintendo games that make use of connectivity. i don't get why you're being bothered by all these insane amounts of resources that they're using.

[dog$]

Because it should be 0%.

The PS3 should be getting 100% of Sony's development right now, but it's not. Why? The goddamned PSP is splitting their development pool right down the center.

And the PSP wouldn't even be in planning if it weren't for all of you people that buy into Nintendo's GBA shit.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

well hey, if a portable suped up Super Nintendo is shit, then....crap, i love shit so much that i um... i brush my teeth with it.

i dunno man, i really don't know what to say that one. GBA hate is new to me. i mean, sure people had reason to complain about it a while back, but it was always a good system, but with the SP out, every single last person that considers themself to be a gamer should own one.
