Nintendo Worshippers - Page 49

Wow. I don't know why it has taken me so long to request to join the Nintendo Worshippers so here I am now. The first games I ever played were on a Gameboy so I have a soft spot for Nintendo games. Ah, they are definately the most enjoyable. =]

I hope I can be accepted =]

Oh and Kirsty the price on release for Wii Fit at EB will be $149.95 well that is reccomended retail price. You can probably find it cheaper else where but that is the standard price =]

Crazy Chocobo · 04-14-2008, 07:20 PM

Oh okay, thank you and I am sure you will be allowed to join this club. I don't have the powers to accept you but hopefully you will be accepted soon! Wii Fit does look good though, I am very much looking forward to its release.

I am getting Guitar Hero though soon for the Wii, I was going to get it for the PS2 but I thought since I have barely any games for the Wii.. I thought it might be better for that. I hope it is otherwise I won't be very happy.

I like how someone posted a random Pokemon team here when we weren't even speaking about it. Are they even a member here?

As for playing games, I have not been lately. I don't think I have really felt like it. ><

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post in here until I get accepted. That's why there has been a bit of a delay with this reply. But no one has posted in awhile so I thought why not. If it's the wrong thing to do sorry and just let me know.

I'm really excited about Wii Fit too. It looks fun and well I need to get in shape. I know it won't do everything for me but it's a good starting point and it's a game!. Everything is so much better when it's a game xD. Like learning Spanish on the DS. Got to love Nintendo <3.

Guitar Hero on Wii. I really want it on Wii but my brother wants it on Xbox 360 for the Gamer points. So kind of a conflict of interest. Oh and my Dad wants it on PS3. Eh.

Crazy Chocobo · 04-17-2008, 10:16 PM

Guitar Hero III is AWESOME! I got it the other day as a late Birthday present and I love it. It was hard for me to play at first but you get used to it after a while. Plus it is very addictive in my opinion oh and SLASH is in it.. my favorite guitarist. ^_^

Yeah Nintendo are making some really handy and useful games lately. You can learn other languages, exercise, help your sight, help your brain and so on. It's actually worth the money to buy most of that stuff and it is still fun!

Hopefully they accept you soon Cilla. I guess nobody has been online to check. ><

Priscilla · 04-17-2008, 11:28 PM

Yes, i've played Guitar Hero III at work. With those displays, only once though but it really was fun =]

Yeah. Love for Nintendo. I can't wait until Mario Kart Wii comes out either. That looks like it will be a lot of fun. As well as Smash Brothers. Oh and Harvest Moon. Gee, there is just so many titles coming out that I am really looking forward too. On every console D=. If only I had that kind of money to fund that xD.

Yeah, that is probably the case. I hope they don't mind me posting here though.

I certainly don't mind.

As for financing your gaming addiction (oh yeah, I'm hooked), odd jobs for small cash, NEVER turn down a bargain price on a game you wanted and feel free to trade in the crappier games towards new ones, be they unwanted presents, games you've beaten and may never play again, or just crap ones you couldn't get a refund on. Chances are JB Hifi and ebgames will take them. Hell, the dude at ebgames was telling me they accept broken games/hardware.

You can't lose.

Priscilla · 04-18-2008, 04:29 PM

Yeah we do accept broken hardware/games at EB. But well I don't want to give my games away for so little. $7 for most PS2 games. I'd rather keep them just for collections sake. So that's probably not an option for me there.

Yeah, maybe I shall go to my Grandmas and help her out D=. I guess it all builds up.

Does anyone know the name of the new Square Enix DS game that has a 'you will die in seven days / Harajuku likeness' I forget what it is called. But I want to check if it is going to get a PAL release. -Crosses fingers-

Silver · 04-18-2008, 10:19 PM

The World Ends With You?

Yeah I read the interactive comic to win three ringtones. I know it's going to Europe, but if it doesn't come out here I'll just import. ^^

Technically it came out yesterday for PAL I believe.

Crazy Chocobo · 04-18-2008, 10:28 PM

I don't really believe in re-selling/swapping games back at other stores, even ones I don't like because you don't get much for them any way and in the long run it isn't worth it in my opinion. I do have a broken game though for my PS2, the disc magically got snapped in half pretty much, have no idea how it even happened. I have a couple or so games I don't like but I don't think I would get rid of them. Pokemon Ranger for the DS is one of those games I am not fond of. >< It's rather dull and uninteresting.

Been playing Guitar Hero the last few days and it's extremely fun. I have gotten pretty good at medium mode but can't get the last boss. I tried hard mode and my God they weren't joking. Expert was ridiculous, I will never, ever get to finish that.

Silver · 04-18-2008, 10:39 PM

Ah, myself while I was a collector I had at least a thousand games all up. From the Commodore 64 to the Wii. I ended up selling most games other than the classics and most RPGs I owned. And all I couldn't sell that I didn't want to play I kept as trade ins. I have ways of trading in games from any console from PSX up, so it's a good funds raiser.

I can understand not wanting to part with games, but hiring a small storage garage for a monthly fee was getting annoying. Now I just have one or two copies of every Final Fantasy game and my favourites, from Mario to Sonic to Zelda to PC faves like Road rash and Space Invaders. I collect Square Enix titles, the rest are just for playing though I do insist on keeping the keepers in good condition. Nothing makes me wince more than someone mishandling my SNES Super Mario World.

I mean games like Daikatana for instance. It was alright for one play, but horribly over hyped, and a waste of shelf space. I got $10 for it the other day, and it was the sweetest $10 I ever got a hold of.

And he did. John Romero made every unfortunate gamer who bought that game a bitch.

Priscilla · 04-18-2008, 10:51 PM

Pokemon Ranger isn't that bad. It does get rather repetitive after awhile though. I stopped playing it when I got stuck on a boss. It's just time consuming and rather annoying. I should pick it up though soon because i'm almost finished anyway.

Yes, it was The World Ends With You. Thanks Nathan! I really like the look of that game. Well, no matter even if it just came out in NTSC I could still import it. Yay for DS not being region locked. Anyway, at the moment that's one of my most anticipated games this year at the moment.

My brother is getting a job soon and I am going for a second job. More game money, though that's not the acutal reason heh. Anyway at our new house my brother and I have our own loungeroom so that's going to be turned into a gaming room so we will have a lot of room for our consoles games et cetera. =]

I guess I don't want to trade something in I havn't finished then even if I have finished it. Most of my games i'm attached too, like most of my RPGs and on top of that I always feel what if I want to play it again. So it's easier just to keep them. Oh and as Kirsty said usually it isn't worth it in the long run. Not that I should really be saying that as I work there and am meant to make people trade in. Hmm.

Crazy Chocobo · 04-18-2008, 11:03 PM

Haha yeah, I have read the signs at EB Games and such saying, trade a PS2 and ten games or something for this console and so on but I don't see how it is worth it. I would rather keep my PS2! I still play it a lot and then I'd just want to buy another one.

I was thinking about trading Pokemon Ranger but realized I probably wouldn't get much for it anyway and I payed around $70 for it so it's so not worth it. I don't like the idea of wasting all of that money.

Silver · 04-18-2008, 11:09 PM

Ahhhh, if you have a situation like that, what I would do is either keep the game OR ring up not only ebgames AND JBHiFi but every single pawn shop in the area for the amount they'd give for it.

If you shop around you can usually make at least half your money back to some person who tries to sell it for 3/4 of it's price which can still undercut bigger places half the time especially with cartridge based games. Did I mention I have seen some secondhand games in ebgames for more than the new one when it was on sale at times?

Leaves me all o_O wtf?

Priscilla · 04-18-2008, 11:17 PM

Yeah. Because with sales like the half price sale. Just because the new one goes down, it doesn't mean the pre owned one does also. But in saying that you do get the preowned one $5 cheaper then the new one so if you really wanted the preowned one I am 99% positive that is what they would
