rare games should be sold at premium prices, that's only right........

bid, whose this friend of yours that cares so deeply about box arts that u blogged about? sounds like a great guy dy.... haha!

i know the solution, play original games, hahah! sorry but it's obvious to me that thanks to piracy, you are jumping from one game to another without actually "playing" any of them. it's really sad but hey, some want to get the most out of their console, some want to get the most out of their games, the choice is theirs.

but judging from ur taste, it's obvious that Wii is not the right console for you. i'm not saying u should get rid of it yet but since u are not open to the idea of owning more than one console, there is not much options left really.

As a third party gamer myself, the Wii definitely does not suffice. I owned the console for about 10 months now and have only played three games (RE:UC, NMH & Okami) and of course, some NGC games. Of course, seeing that i don't have the "means" of playing so many different games, i just take my time to finish each.

Oh and having other console helps of course...

it takes extra resources to make a "wii version" of a game, as opposed to say, a PC/PS3/XBOX360 port because it's usually all so similar, technically-wise.

but that's also the beauty of it, the Wii will have exclusive third party games and that's the reason i'm bought a Wii.
i loved third party exclusives.....simply because i'm a fanboy.

i think Nintendo strategy have always been to raise the bar on their console with their outstanding first party games and hopefully the third party will get their act together and follow suit. sadly, not many are actually up to the challenge.....

but it's a pretty successful formula, even Sony are emulating it with their 1st party on the PS3.....

from what i gathered, development on HD console is certainly higher but u only need to spend a bit more time and money to cross-developed it on the PS3/PC/XBOX at the same time.

where else, if u want to do a Wii version of the same game, u need to spend a lot more time,effort and money to create the version.... that's the reason Capcom is giving for not announcing SFIV on the Wii (yet).

so it's cheaper to develop on the Wii (exclusively) but it's cheaper to cross-develop on the PC/PS3/XBOX so hence, the end of third party exclusives as we see it.

haven't u hear? it became "official nintendo seal" instead during the NGC era when Ninty wanted to court and win back their third party support.

if u have some NGC, take a look at their box arts.....REmake and RE0 both had "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" while RE4 (which came out later) had "Official Nintendo Seal". the Seal changed sometime during the NGC system lifespan.

REmake and RE0 are both back in stock at PA, at a decent price too. Go go go!!

Despite being a Player's Choice budget version, it's still a great game and all....

so jen, does this mean u are keeping your wii?

so phoenix spending the weekend with jade raymond huh ?

spare batt?!?! is it that simple to take the battery out between charge?

i got the old DS so the battery compartment is screwed shut, the only time i think i will ever open it is when i plan to change the battery for good.

Jeanne D'arc still takes pretty long to load on CFW ole PSP probably due to the low RAM.... the only bad thing about an otherwise excellent game

isn't sonic rush like a first-gen DS game?!?

any of u guys using this for your wii mote?

the price is pretty tempting for rechargeables, charge thru usb ports with the batteries attached to a lid of its own so i believe can play during charge.... the only danger if it's really dodgy it just might explode in your hands.

phoenix how much did u pay for sigma? R1 or R2?

ya i know..... that's the new greatest hits version unfortunately, think i will hunt for the black label as i'm sure some shops might have old stock. RM120 for used or brand new?
