I was a huge Monkey Island fan growing up. I loved 1-3!

I saw on Kotaku this morning that they are releasing Monkey Island for Wii today!!!!!!

So I mosey on over here to see if I can find anything else, and lo and behold......one chapter at a time, and then I have to pay for each additional chapter????????

These were really long games with up to 15 chapters.

Not to mention, this is like, the long awaited return of the game in forever. Why couldnt they just put it on a damned disc like every other of the 5 games in the series?

Suck it, Nintendo

A huge fan? If so, I'm surprised at your ridiculous comments.

1. Telltale Games release almost all their games in chapters or episodes. It's just their way.

2. The games were split up into parts not chapters. There were four per game if I remember correctly.

3. The will release the game on the PC after the final chapter is complete. They may release it on the Wii in the future.

4. Nintendo had absolutely nothing to do with the development of the game.

As a huge fan, I'm sure your away of the remake of the original Secret of Monkey Island and are as excited as I am (though, I expect you to complain about this, too).

Please do your homework before posting.

briman1701 · 07-29-2009, 11:11 PM

Thank you for your junior high level response to my defense of Nintendo and Telltale. I pray you have a better day.

1. Telltale games????......... 1-4 were made by Lucas Arts only. LUCAS ARTS. Therefore it doesnt matter what the "way" of the new company 20 years later is in reference to how big of a fan I am.

2. You are completely wrong. Why are you on here chewing me out when you arent even in the ballpark? Each game had about 12-20 chapters. Dumbass. Each game was broken into 4 parts....4 parts with multiple chapters....this new wii game, one chapter is for sale.

3. Just read what you wrote. It is total speculatory bullshit. Why dont you just make up anything you want?

4. I dont need a lesson on 3rd party software. I also didnt say anything about nintendo developing anything.

Yeah, I know about the remake, and as far as I know its going to XBL and not Wii.

Please do my homework before posting? All you did was sound like a little bitch and make up a bunch of crap in the process.

I'll say it again, Im a huge fan of the Monkey Island series. I can answer you any trivia you want. I have all of the Mp3s on my computer and some on my MP3 player.

Hmmmmm, Im looking at the disc now for Curse of Monkey Island. It is made by Lucas Arts in 1997. Thats where I left off in the series.

What are you a fan of, so I can make up a bunch of lies, and tell you to do your homework, like an arrogant little condescending dick sucker???????

Mine were Incredible Maze and Gradius III, probably a year ago?

Remember the salad days when the games were decent and plentiful, and the forum was fun, semi-peacful, and addictive?

Nintendo have now kinda said "we are not arsed with Virtual console anymore"
Well not those exact words they used more marketing speak and bollocks

This gave me a good laugh. Please continue to make a fool of yourself.

P.S. If your going to libel against someone, at least do it in a way that is believable.

P.P.S. Libel basically means to lie on paper.

Fox · 07-30-2009, 06:34 PM

If there are any more members acting out like Conan The Librarian please report them so they can be dealt with, thank you.

On a sidenote: Another crappy VC update.

**DPrinny** · 07-30-2009, 07:11 PM

Would like to point out that it was the other guy that provoked him into the argument.
Hes probably a ok bloke unless provoked.

Fox · 07-30-2009, 08:26 PM

I don't ever remember a time when Conan wasn't provoked by anything. That's still not the way to handle an argument.
Just pointing out, he wasnt permabanned.

There was no argument. I attempted to portray the facts and provide a defense for those who were not there. While I'll admit I was a strong in my questioning of his fandom, he was out of line with his initial comments and the personal attacks on me that followed. I'm happy to debate the facts, but not with someone who will not listen.

As far as this weeks releases go, while I'm curious about the lack of Virtual Console releases, Monkey Island trumps all. Even more than Strong Bad (which I am finally close to finishing).

Thanks for listening.

Whilst he attacks a few of us Retro heads. He sometimes has a point
The VC has become very lame. So you can see his argument and rants about the lack of decent games
(Maybe not against Sega)
