The whole thing is about a drop of rain? ;) Not likely.....

As far as I know, it launches May sixteenth in Japan and November third, in the United States. I could be wrong, but that's what my dates say.

Don't forget to add Rogue Leader, Tony Hawk 3 and maybe Bloody Roar 3 to that list. Wave Race: Blue Storm is decent, but the controls take a little getting used to. Also, Pikmin would be a good purchase and Luigi's Mansion would be a decent rental.

So, let me critique your latest post by saying that these boards are better off without behavior like yours.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Nerdsy [/i] [B] [COLOR=deeppink] With the split, the Pay-Per-Views will go down hill. If they do have inter-promotional matches, they won't have much history, so it will just be people wrestling for no reason. That is for curtain-yanking at a house show, not for a PPV. If they don't have inter-promotional matches... they'll have everyone wrestling on the same card, and probably have little to no talk about the split. [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] You know what the funniest thing about all that is? lol, It might actually be an improvement. Can you believe that the best the WWF creative team could come up with was having Booker T wrestle Edge over shampoo at [B]Wrestlemania[/B]? Gee, it's the superbowl of wrestling and we'll build a match around two guys fighting over a japanese shampoo commercial. Gimme a break. Now at least instead of poor angle development, we'll have none.

Kuja and I have both agreed that these forums aren't really meant for giving out cheat codes. Basically, Gaming Otaku is meant for discussing the actual games, companies and the industry in general. If you want codes for the game, go to gamefaqs; if they don't have it, I don't know who possibly would. Topic Closed.

We got our version first, and I already know what happens in the extended ending to boot. The only things that I really can't experience are the new monsters and the enhanced sphere grid.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zero_dude [/i] [B]CWB could you pm me if someone figures this out, cause checking over and over again gets annoying? [/B][/QUOTE] Sure, it'd be no problem, though it appears that no one will figure it out. ;)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zero_dude [/i] [B]You complety lost me on this cwb. Man i'll really give a cookie to anyone who figures this out. [/B][/QUOTE] Lol, that's two cookies folks. I really wrote this one abstractly on purpose, so don't be surprised if this one it's raised up to three cookies. ;)

Well, not a cookie since this is kinda online, but a big thumbs up. Although it may not appear to make much sense, there is underlying meaning. Good luck! My soul-broken into shards of irreplaceable glass, reflect little of what was once there. Cradled and cooing like an infant, I rest peacefully as the wind cradles me in its whisper and whisks me away. Fading into obscurity, becoming but a note in nature's grand song I find a place where the sky meets the horizon. Where do long forgotten footsteps fall? What happens to lovers quarrels and lost moments? Can they be found, or is it beneath the tides of time that they rest sound? Listen now, as the question arises, harmony follows as to answer and the soul succumbs. Perched like a gargoyle, a patient watchdog, somber, stirring little and watching all, the beast's eyes reflect diamond dust as silent footsteps fall. One's heart jumps as the tranquil beast reaches back and finds something within and leaps itself, from the crescent moon, becoming a blur at my hushed call. Some are blind to what is already there. A little piece of Heaven meets the earth where shooting stars fall. From deep inside, I pull answers from the pieces, drawing truth from underneath my inner creases. Lapsing into a darkness that transcends even the bleak plane known as death, angels explore a baron reality whose sublime atmosphere supersedes purgatory. Icy, bitter cold. The winds rage while resentful chills run down the back of my spine. There is the shivering bite of winter, yet without the familiar comfort of soft, pillowy snow. The fangs are but dipped in ignorance's venom, serving to veil what is at hand. Hard, dead land surrounds. Barren trees, grass turned to hay, sharp, jutting rock edges protruding out of the earth, jagged rock cliffs, iced-over rivers in the base of the valleys? all of it is here. Where is this? Could it be halfway up a mountainside, in the early months of the year? Life is so nonexistent, so absent in places like this. But this is what reality is.......or is it? Digging deeper, one will find the hidden truth. Underneath frozen layers of crust does the answer hibernate. Lost in its own thought, incredulous of the world outside. Where does one place their most inner trust during the body's fleeting mortal life? Holding the hand of a latent God, they walk through mortal strife. My name is now forgotten, as such titles have no matter. Death? is everywhere, hiding stealthily in life's shadows. Those ?disciples? would call it punishment for mankind's faults? how does vengeance serve a lord who asks us to be gentle? How does unleashing such wrongs onto us serve a caring master? How does any element of this existence we are present in ? a world filled with death and murder, and governed by the unshakable mastery of us by the planet we live on ? how does any of this preclude his overseeing hand at work? The answer is? it doesn?t. What is there? if anything? Is it all just a fluke? Is there any point? Questions? The mountain in this valley is but a massive rock protrusion from the level of the ground, formed incidentally through the shaping and reshaping of the earth by volatile natural disasters some four billion years before any God claims to have created everything. Its peak is barren of any shelter, rugged and war-torn from millions of years spent battling the unforgiving elements of Nature. There has been no mercy taken upon it by any overseeing power. What does this all lead to? You tell me? While above is the ravaged peak, below is the decrepit valley, iced over from the stream running through it and barren of all life as well. Here, hierarchy doesn't matter; different demons with the same goals await you wherever you lay--demons created by man; by me. Exploring the darkest corners of my soul, I find what mirrors, dithered photographs and fleeting glances cannot. Heaven is but a hell for those that should make is so, and hell is but a Heaven for those who make it be. Sifting dark soil in a crooked ravine, parting through the insects and creepers, rests a "me" who has been long forgotten. Stirring a mirage from a nightmare, we both wake, shivering and cold. Afterlife is but our own story, unique to whom it is told.

Just for the record, almost everyone dies when Buu destroys the Earth.

It would be more like 1/4. Anyway, if he did anything really important or groundbreaking, it would have been shown at one point or another. It's safe to say that he was the strongest warrior of the time and would probably help fight crime. Heck, he could have even become a cop.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zero_dude [/i] [B] at ppv's they will be able to fight anyone. so raw can fight smackdown people at backlash [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, but wouldn't it be hard to build up feuds then?

That Hardy Boyz match indicates another problem with the draft. What's the point of having tag teams on Raw when they can't possibly win the tag titles? :huh:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B] [color=royalblue]The reputation of both goes hand in hand. You visit any Xbox/PS2 forum and I guarantee that the number one complaint lobbed at GameCube is "it's for kids". This reputation is unfounded in my opinion. Nintendo has gone to great lengths to create games for [i]all ages[/i]. I'm sure you already know this, so I guess I'm preaching to the converted in a sense...but I'm sure you can understand the annoyance it causes. Nintendo as a first party studio has been focusing on "all age" titles for many years, but all you have to do to confirm Nintendo's all ages policy is take a look at Canadian second party, Silicon Knights. SK recently allowed the media to play a nearly complete version of Eternal Darkness. The game's creator was saying that they "didn't hold back" when it came to the game's dark, gritty style. Given that SK is partly owned by Nintendo...and given that Nintendo EAD assisted in development of Eternal Darkness, I find it hard to believe that the kiddie complaint can be attached to Nintendo anymore than any other company.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Oh yeah, it's definitely annoying to hear people claim that it's a "kiddie system" and all, but that's mainly online where I'm exposed to younger people more often. Everyone knows that the same people who say this crap are the same people who say, "My piece of cake is bigger than yours. :p" The first kind of person that will argue that Nintendo is a child's system is the infamous, you guessed it, child who has an Xbox or a PS2 and can't just buy the GameCube. Of course, the kid wants to reassure himself/herself that they have the best system, so they say whatever they can to bash the competition. It's a mixture of jealousy and a lack of understanding for the basics of business, really. The other way people associate Nintendo with "kiddie" (and this assumption can even pass the boudary of petty children bickering) is by ignoring their policies regarding developers and content and look straight at Nintendo's own products. I guess some will look at Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie, Pilot Wings and so on, and dismiss them as childish. Now, I'm not arguing that they are, but what I am saying is that people taking this stance probably haven't played the games. What they see is colorful, friendly and cheerful games. Without playing the games, people don't know about the fun factor, difficulty, innovation or gameplay. So, that's where I'm saying it's just because the name "Nintendo" is on the system, that it's regarded as child-like. Clueless people, usually see Nintendo and it's lovable characters and think it's for children. The actual system has nothing to do with it. Think about it, Nintedno allowed blood in Mortal Kombat 2, but did it's policy help diminish this B.S. rep? Nope. I think that people mainly have foolish issues with the actual Nintendo games based on appearance alone, and ignore what's actually on the system. That's why it's important to realize where the kiddie complaints are aimed at. Maybe if Nintendo, themselves, came out with a Mature rated game, this nonsense would stop a little. Then again, who would they appease by doing this anyway? People would just find new stuff to complain about.....

You're the exact reason why parents should teach their kids about respecting people-although it's probably not too late for you. Seven is obviously a good age to learn the fundamentals of respect. Have a nice day you crazy little monkey.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kuja [/i] [B][SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]this game is AIMED at kids yet has a M on it o.o. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE] I don't think it's aimed at children. Just like different movies are aimed at different audiences, games can be too. ;) On a seperate note, I don't think that the GameCube's reputation as being a "kiddie" system is that strong. However, the actual company of Nintendo [I]does[/I] have that reputation for making games that lack primarily adult content. I think it's important to distinguish between the company and the console.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud_Strife [/i] [B] P.S. I'm fighting Haschels' former pupil Gehrich, he's pretty hard and I can't beat him, anyone have any tips for me besides level up [/B][/QUOTE] Here's a strategy that you can use to defeat Gehirch and Mappi(sp). [B]Take out Mappi first; he can use an instant death attack on any party member, plus he is very fast. Have Al use his trusty Gust of Wind Dance on Gehrich. If you have some light magic use it on Mappi, get rid of him and this battle won't be so tough. Hit Gehrich hard and fast. Heis pretty powerful having Haschel turn into a Dragoon is a good idea since this boss seems to be suspect to Haschel's Dragoon additions. You don't necessarily have to become a Dragoon in this battle though, unless you want Shana/Rose's healing spells or Albert's Rose Storm defensive spell. Albert's Wind-elemental spells can be helpful against Gehrich, or Shana's Light-elemental Star Children would be effective against Mappi. Of course, it's your choice.[/B] And now, I'm going to close this thread, because it's old as dirt, the original guy who made it probably doesn't need any help now, and Single H hasn't posted in a couple months, so he probably won't be answering any questions (heck, he posted that advice in September). I advise anyone who brings posts back to do so intelligently. Thread Closed.
