[im_a_super_smash_bro]

Hahaha (yeah my ass hurt too!) The movie was way too long!

 

[gpoleweski]

Yeah, I had a wallet up my ass! But I wriggled around a bit and it was ok, but how were those fight scenes. Also, just take note that the Game is no where near as good as the movie, especially on the wii.

I'm seeing Pirates this weekend from what I've heard from you guys its really good and I love a long movie more for your money (which btw ticket prices for movies are way to much :mad5: same applies to pocorn and drinks at the candy bar :mad5

 

[Diomedes]

Haha, popcorn and coke at movies are waaay overpriced. Buy snacks at the nearest supermarket and bring them in, its better and cheaper that way

 

[gpoleweski]

Well, hope you enjoy the movie, I'm gonna see it again with friends on Saturday, that's a good way to look at it, longer movie=more for your money. ok NOW I'm going to bed, naughty, sick me, shuld be going to bed early*cough*. GOODNIGHT AUSSIE, WE LOVE YOU!

I loved Pirates of the Carribean!!!
When I went to see it they had tecknicle diffuclties so we had to wait for about half an hour but the movie was only 2hours and 45min. star wars was longer then that...

I would love to see Pirates Of the Carribean 3 this weekend but I have a Chemistry, Physics, Calculus and Applicable Maths Exam coming up next week!!! :mad5: Oh yeah and the Candy Bar is really over priced!

 

[gpoleweski]

Bloody hell, even the words sound hard. Well, at least you can look forward to one thing at the moment....the day when all you exams are done! Star wars was around the same time, but King Kong was rediculous. Also when Iwent to see POTC3, they had some Pirate people dressed up and they were doing a show sought of thing for us, but we were all yelling out rude but funny comments, and as they left I simply yelled out "Go jump off World's End", yes that's mean but if you had seen them and what they did in the cinema, you would do just the same. Well....have fun at school, while I stay home....sick...*cough*hehehe.

There's some interesting info to be read here. In summary:

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (Wii)
Release date: 20/08/2007
Visual improvements since the original build, “wow” factor.
No competitive online mode for Prime 3 but will be used for fresh content to expand the game’s default features – new missions, suits, weapons will be available, to try and provide content that is “ever evolving and changing so that the game may become entirely new over time.”
Delayed due to working on the visuals and online side of things.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Release Date: 11/12/2007
Press were allowed to play a single level, with Wi-Fi and a new character shown – “looks stunning, plays like a dream.”
Uses GameCube controller/classic controller or the Wii Remote/Nunchuck.
Using the Wii remote/nunchuck, players can increase strength (presumably smash) by moving the remove in the direction of attack, with extra jump if players move the Wii-remote up in sync.
Report suggests these moves feel tacked on.

Super Mario Galaxy
Release Date: 12/10/2007
Press also spent time with Galaxy – “everything fans of Mario 64 will be expecting from the game”.
Various areas of varying style, with mini-planets and comets are the surface of the game – most levels are within giant planets with their own unique feel, much like the different paintings. Outer-space is much like Peach’s castle in Super Mario 64.
Friends can help assist in player’s movements by pointing to a star and have Mario follow the pattern drawn at certain points in the game.
WiiConnect 24 is used, but its function is unclear.

Disaster: Day of Crisis
Release: Q1 2008
Confirmed as the official title for the game, Nintendo aim to create a series out of the franchise, with each entry subsequently named Disaster: XXXX.
“In one area, the player had to determine that the Wii Remote needed to be pointed at a water valve and then turned to unleash water onto a raging fire. These “puzzles” give the game more of an action-adventure feel. Ultimately, it felt like an entirely new type of gaming experience.”

M-09 (FKA Project H.A.M.M.E.R.)
Release: Second Quarter 2008
Plays as previously described – other than the title change/release date.

Video Reel
Mario Kart: Visually impressive, traditional appearance, controlled like other Wii racing games, Wi-Fi logo present.
Animal Crossing: Looks like past iterations – Wi-Fi logo again present.
Vision Red: Original Nintendo RPG, seems familiar to Square’s Final Fantasy series.
Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball – Spruced up from the GameCube version, plays like one would expect.
Wii Health Pack: People doing various exercises using the Wii remote, results showing calories burnt etc – Miis are being utilized.
Wii Music: Variety of music played with Wii-remote, performances combined to make songs – Wi-Fi logo present.
Mii Popularity: Seemed like an everybody vote channel for Mii profiles with different attributes being ranked.
Demo Channel: Showed players downloading demos of VC titles.


Final Video – Zelda Wii
“Sentences flashed across a black screen and faded…

The greatest adventure in gaming
Lands of epic proportions
A hero for all time
A love to die for…

Link then appears screaming for a very brief second before the screen turns black and a tri-force slams onto the screen and smashes in to pieces.

If the character model used for Link is any indication of where this series is headed, expect ultra-realism, grittiness, and a very dark feel.”

Yeah, I read this on another site, and it is rather intriguing, but don't forget they are still just rumours. But something different that it had on the other site was that there would be a thing called classic and that's where you used gamecube and classic and brawl where you would use wiimote and nunchuck. If you're wondering where this other site is go onto........I'll find it later if you wanna know, sorry, too tired
