Well, yeah. Because I think I remember reading somewhere that the game takes up all 59 blocks.
But it would be cool if it was 2 random NES games.:D

Thought the special present was the NES games.

And I really wonder why so many people are looking forward to Animal Crossing. I think it looks stupid.

Says the guy with monkey, banana, and cheese obsession...

[gekko]

And you're one to talk? :p

And I'm not the one who eats a giant block of cheese with the butcher knife.

[Drunk Hobbit]

I didn't eat it. I merely sliced the poor bastard in two leaving a warning for all other cheese. And I'd do it again if I had the chance! Muah ha ha ha! Wait a tic... I can do it again...

It has UNLIMITED replayability(if you want to call it replaying). It never ends, the game never tells you what to do 95-99% of the time. You can do (just about) whatever the hell you want, when you want, how you want. And who cares about the graphics, I can understand if they are lower than usual. If they have to cram soo much data, then I can understand. But I wish I could get this, unless I can get another $50 between the release of SMS and the release of Animal Crossing.

[Drunk Hobbit]

But of course you're always in debt.

Since when has unlimited replayability been fun? So you're basically saying it'll be fun because you have no objectives, and you can run around with nothing to do? Sounds like I'd enjoy it for about 5 minutes.

Running around my little town with nothing to do would get old quickly. Kinda like what makes the GTA series crap, but that game has objectives, it's just those suck too.

Unlimited replayability is something I would want for a game like Mario, just keep getting new levels and it never ends. Having absolutely nothing to do and being able to do nothing for as long as you want sounds very stupid.

This sounds as bad as the people who want Blinx.

[Jonbo298]

If I read somewhere correctly, there is I think at least 3 different things you can do at all times in the game. So you're basically not just gonna sit on your arse and wait for something to happen.

[gekko]

But what are those 3 things? Nintendo's E3 video left me less than impressed.

Anything(to the games extent). It all depends.

[Drunk Hobbit]

Run erands, fish, cut down trees, grow trees (money trees too), buy goods, work off your debt which never ends, design patterns for your clothing and accessories, acquire things for you home (can find cool stuff in the junkyard), celebrate numerous holidays (would have liked them to keep the japanese holidays in addition to US ones), play NES, talk to the villagers, talk to ghosts, partipate in events, create your own events for the townspeople to participate in, and much much more.

Plus have friends or family set up a house in your town.

[Crono]

This game sounds amazing! Can't wait to get it.

But 59 blocks?! :hmm: Well I guess that type of game would need a lot of memory...

Sounds... incredibly dumb.

Not to Diss on Super Monkey Ball, but the Idea of rolling monkey in balls around didnt exactly excite me when I first heard about it...

[Crono]

You should at least give the game a try. You might like it.

LOL.

This game sounds an awful lot like Harvest Moon to me...

[gekko]

Harvest Moon was a sim where you were a farmer. This seems like it's a sim where you're a kid not in school and have nothing to do.

Bah, well there's no point in me buying it, then...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Plastic0006]

I like the idea of the game having unlimited replayability but can you beat the game??? I hate games where you cant do that but i think im gonna buy it neway cuz i have the money and i like that memory card cuz it has a picture on it and none of mine do :roll:

[TLGamer]

Aggressive inline takes up 59blocks also >< But doesn't come with a memory card.

I think animmal crossing sounds alright, just another sim type game those always seem to bore me after awhile. Their not challeging. But its all an opinion.

[GameMaster]

Two questions:

1. When does this game come out?

2. Will the included present cost you anything or will the game still be in the $50 zone?
