I want one

Canyarion · 11-21-2004, 05:50 PM

I planned on importing one from the States, but as I've been griming lately: I don't have any money nor time.

I have to get my life back in line again before I can purchase new games.

I got up at 7:00 and was standing in front of Target with some other hardcore gamers five minutes before the doors opened. Then when they opened, the parents and lame kids embarrassed themselves by either running or speed-walking to the video game department. I kept my dignity and walked the entire way. When I arrived, the cashiers had begun ringing up the purchases. They said there were 70 units. There was only about 20 people at this time so I got mine without any struggle or dismay. I've only entered the castle of Super Mario so I can't give much impressions yet. So far, it seems close to N64 graphics. I wouldn't say it was as good as N64 graphics though. I don't know, I need to play more before I can confirm that. I'm happy though. I just need to wait for my friends to get their's. And wait for someone to develop meeting hubs on the internet so I can PictoChat with them via my wireless router base at home.

I gotta say, Mario 64 DS is beautiful. Fire, Water, ripples in the pictures......it's all there, in the palm of your hand. It's amazing just holding the thing in your hand, I mean, I seriously want to play Ocarina Of Time and Banjo Kazoie and Rayman 2 on the thing just because I can do it in the palm of my hand. I'm so happy I didn't buy an SP and I just waited for this sucker.

If you're a Gameboy fan, you have to get this. If you don't, you're cheating yourself.

I'd make sure you're not just remembering the N64 graphics as better than they really are. GameSpot said that at least the character models looked better in SM64DS (O_o) and the screenshots I've seen looked about the same.

Anyway...

The most I've played of the DS was a couple of minutes with MP:H. It was neat.

Not to mention the game runs at 60FPS instead of 30. Effectively displaying twice the polys.

From all the screenshots i've seen, N64 graphics look SLIGHTLY better then DS. but then again thats cuz im comparing it to N64 late in its life and DS early, im sure ds will get better.

And why dont you just put the shugs and walks away BS in your sig? right now thats rivaling the camfu bot as the most lame annoying thing at GT. lol.

It wouldn't be as "cool" in my signature. Instead of being an internet action I perform after every post, it would be my signature. Also, I would not be able to customize for individual posts, like I sometimes do.

If you don't like, don't read it.

Or something like that.

*shrugs and walks away again, just to spite Null*

Wow, hardcore seems to have gone downhill. Hardcore is the guys that are in line the night before, no it's 5 minutes prior? Or better yet, shop at the store enough and get the manager to know you, then there's no point in standing in line, just sneak in early via employee entrance, buy your ****, and walk out, right past the line to your car.

I'm just giving you ****, why wait all night if you don't have to?

Anyway, my DS will be waiting for me when I get home. I've considered having it sent out here, but decided against it. I can wait, the only game coming out before I get back that I really care for is Mario 64. The new Mario Bros. though, is enough to make me cream my pants.
