Hitomi in DOAU!!

But does that automatically make the game better, or relegate DOA or Soul Calibur to the garbage can?

No, but it does make VF4 deeper which is what I was talking about. Doesn't really matter, since I traded my VF4 in for Morrowind or something.

oh, and don't you love the whole "we've got internet on the DS" crap? like it's ever going to be used. just another fucking port in that system that we have to pay extra for so Nintendo can go "We have an ethernet adapter too! Just like Sony! Who cares if we never ever use it and build up the hopes of our fanbase only to shit in their mouths?"

Um, it has been confirmed that if you have the right OS and hardware, you can play over your wireless LAN router/adapter. Though the current fees for WLAN may be putting a wrench into things.

OR A CONTROLLER THAT ISNT BUILT LIKE A RETARDED "SIMON" PAD!

How could you say that about Simon?

If anyone here (and I haven't noticed any examples of this) sincerely believes Itagaki is a genius of game design, then yes, they are idiots. The DOA series is average at best (haven't played NG).

Ninja Gaiden is a product of genius game design, and is miles ahead of DoA. Unless you have a rare condition that gives you conniption fits when every character in an area isn't onscreen for roughly 7 minutes of a 20 hour game.

I guess I'll have to take your word for it... I don't have an XBox to play NG on.

Okay, anyone who thinks the DOA series is an example of genius game design is a dummy.

i cant reply to this until you specify whether your talkin about the cube or the ds. : )

[Damian79]

yeah, and the fact that no game will support the feature. it's nintendo man, cmon now. first they take away headphone ports on the gba. now you think they're actually gonna support a third of the shit theyve thrown on this handheld?

i could see like wireless multiplayer if you were all in the same room, 5 feet away from each other, playing mario 64 ds or whatever. but that's it.

That is the thing. If a game support that, then it was confirmed to also do the WLAN thing aswell. But with the recent issues of WLAn, that may longer be the case, here's hoping.

EDIT: I was talking about the DS.

[MrWhitefolks]

why hope? it's nintendo. they've been collectively shooting themselves in the ass for almost a decade now. they always have a few really bitchin titles out the gate, then we get nothing but shit ports of 3rd party titles that are already on other systems(and for the most part, better to begin with).

here's the thing: if midway takes away support of your system, it's over. midway is one of the most money whoring port making 3rd party companies ever, and when they cant see any monitary reason for supporting you, pack up the fucking bags.

i honestly hope that nintendo went 3rd party like sega after the GC died, but apparently theyre too damn stubborn to realize they fucking suck in the home console market(they can keep on making handhelds for all i care, but for the love of god; quit wasting our god damn time with home consoles).

More like shooting themselves in their American ass than anything else. They are catering to the Japanese fans quite well otherwise they wouldn't be neck and neck hardware sales wise with the Xbox now on the worldwide scale.

If it costs them to keep it this way, then they won't keep it. It is all up to how things are different in America, if it is free like it would have been and still should be in Japan, then most likely we would be getting it.

Well, since the Japanese gaming industry is dying right now and the US' is doing pretty well, I'm not sure how that's not really, really relevant to Nintendo's downfall.
